"Mister Wolf has some medical knowledge, so he offered to come to visit our mother and see if there's anything he can be of help with." Lily explained with a blush."Is he a doctor?"Jared was both surprised and confused. As Lily's colleague, Leon was supposed to be a secretary, so why was he suddenly described as if he was a doctor?"I'm not a doctor, but I have medical skills that were passed down from my ancestors."Leon smiled and put the fruit basket in his hand on the cabinet beside the hospital bed."You're a quack, then!" Jared frowned and said bluntly, "Lily, there are plenty of professional doctors in the hospital, but none of them can cure mom's sickness. Do you think letting a quack would do any good?""Watch your words, Jared! How could you be so rude! Mister Wolf is just trying to be kind!" Lily reprimanded in displeasure and then smiled apologetically at Leon. "Mister Wolf, my brother is ignorant and speaks without a filter. Please don't take his words to heart."
"What do you think of my mother's condition, Mister Wolf?" Lily asked nervously."It's a little complicated, and not that easy for me to try and explain. Fortunately, however, the issue at hand is only a minor problem of inflammation. I believe she'll regain her health if I give her some pressure point treatment and have her consume some herbal medication for the next couple of days," Leon comforted with a smile.The treatment that Serena previously received was conducive to her spinal cord recovery, and it was almost fully healed. It was the subsequent complications that made the situation a little trickier.Those complications posed no serious problem should they be treated in time, but there would be grave consequences if allowed to fester. At best, she would be paralyzed. At worse, her life would be at risk."You can cure her? That's great news!" Lily was overjoyed.She originally intended to just give things a try without placing too high a hope on Leon's medical skills, so i
The ward was an ordinary ward that had a total of three beds. Aside from Serena, two other patients were lying on the other two beds."Young man, it's written in the commandments that, thou shall not lie!""Missus Summers here has been hospitalized for a very long time already and none of the experienced doctors here could do anything to cure her! You, on the other hand, are a young man, and you're not a professional doctor either. How do you expect to be able to cure her?""Exactly! Don't claim to be a doctor just because you've learned some medical skills. Who's going to deal with the consequences if something goes wrong with the treatment?"...Both patients shook their heads, as neither of them were optimistic about Leon's medical skills.Jared was already very suspicious of Leon's ulterior motives, and began to doubt Leon even more after hearing what the two patients said!"They have a point, Lily. We can't risk Mom's life!""But..."Lily believed Leon earlier, but now th
The Six Points of Fate technique required him to apply internal energy to the pressure points, and he nearly collapsed from exhaustion when treating Elder Young because he had no internal energy.With his refinement level reaching the first level of internal energy refinement, his outlook was bound to be better, thus enabling him to use the Six Points of Fate with more proficiency.Even so, his refinement level was still very low. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his entire body was overcome with fatigue as he performed the pressure point treatment.At that moment, footsteps were heard approaching them.In came a young 27- or 28-year-old male doctor, who was dressed in a white coat. A young female nurse followed him in as well and they both did their routine rounds in the room.The sight of Leon's hands on Serena's body gave the young male doctor a huge fright. He immediately hurried over and asked, "What's going on, Lily? And what's that man doing?!""Let me expl
"Aunt Serena's cheeks are probably red because she's having dying flashes before demise. Her life is at risk now, and she might not make it even if the angels come down from heaven and bless her!" Bowden shook his head, looking at Leon with a disparaging gaze."What?!"Lily and Jared were thunderstruck by his remark, and Jared stood up all of a sudden with a burning rage in his eyes."It's all your fault, Wolf! I'm going to make you pay for killing my mother!" Jared roared as if he lost his mind and punched Leon in the face without a second thought.Leon was caught by surprise and received a direct hit on his eye."Miss Fendt! I need you to notify the hospital director about this at once! Let him make preparations to rescue our patient! And while you're at it, please send a few security guards here. We need to arrest this kid for treating patients negligently and have him handed it over to the police!"Bowden turned his head and instructed the female nurse behind him, who nodded
With a thud, Jared knelt before Leon without any hesitation. He then raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, saying, "Mister Wolf, I'm deeply sorry about what happened earlier. I shouldn't have treated you that way when all you so kindly offered to save my mother. I'm such a terrible human being..." Jared felt very guilty and remorseful."Don't sweat it. This was all just a misunderstanding, but I do hope that you won't act so impulsively in the future..."Leon knew that Jared did not mean to punch him. He was not that petty of a person either, so he stretched out his hand to help Jared up.Bowden did not expect such a dramatic change in the situation. His expression turned ugly, and he scoffed coldly, "Don't bother thanking this guy, Lily! Aunt Serena's condition has already shown positive signs after receiving treatment in our hospital during this period. He just happened to put the finishing touches to the treatment by groping around without any direction!""You're wron
"How shameless of him!""Can you believe his sheer lack of medical ethics when passing those garbage ingredients off as valuable just to fool his patients?""You couldn't be more right! The medication we're put on is probably the same too!"The other two patients scoffed and looked at Bowden with even more disdain. At the same time, they were secretly worried that they were similarly tricked by other unethical doctors!"Forget it, Lily. Bowden helped us a lot during this time, and it was his way of showing kindness too. Let's just put this matter to rest. My illness is cured too, so there's no need for me to stay here anymore. You and Jared should pack up so we can go home as soon as I'm discharged," Serena said without explicitly blaming Bowden. After all, her family was neighbors with Bowden's family for many years, and she did not want to go too deep into it."Discharged? Not so fast! Aunt Serena, you still owe more than seven thousand dollars for the hospitalization and medica
"Exactly!""Of the many shameless people that I've seen before, I've never seen someone this shameless!""Miss Summers is a beautiful woman, and he needs to look in the mirror and understand how unattractive he looks. How can someone like him be worthy of her?""I wonder where he got all his confidence!"The other two patients in the ward were amused by Bowden's brazenness and voiced their support for Lily.Bowden threw a fit. "I've already laid out the conditions, Aunt Serena. If you don't agree, then you need to pay up the seven thousand dollars immediately or I'll call the police! Don't blame me then if the police arrest you for making off without payment!""But..."Serena and her two children were speechless. Forking out 700 dollars was difficult enough, what more than 7,000 dollars?Where were they going to get so much money?For a moment, the three of them were in so much despair that they did not know what to do next."It's just seven thousand, right? I'll help you pay
