Greg Jensen turned his head to glance at Brandon Brent, walked up to him, and jabbed his chest a few times, saying coldly,
âWhat are you still doing here? Waiting to get beaten up?â
Brandon Brent staggered back from the jabs, feeling a sharp pain in his chest.
As he was unsure what to do, he saw Lois Abbott tugging at Gregâs clothes and said softly, âGreg, youâ¦â
âDonât be afraid as long as Iâm here!â
Greg patted her small hand and gave her a comforting smile.
When Brandon saw their intimate interaction, his expression grew even uglier. He said sternly, âFine, kid, youâve got some guts! But this isnât over; weâll see about that!â
After saying that, he led the way out.
Will Harrison was also hurriedly helped out by the old man and scurried after him.
Lois hurried to the door and saw Brandon driving away; she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
âThat scared the life out of me!â
She patted her chest, still reeling from the fright, but when she turned around, she saw Greg staring intently at her chest, his gaze so penetrating it was as if he wanted to burrow into her clothes.
Her face immediately flushed red, and she glared at him angrily, asking, âHave you seen enough?â
âHeh heh, not at all!â Greg replied with a grin.
âI⦠Iâm going to check on my dad.â
Under ordinary circumstances, Lois would have already started cursing, but after what had just happened, a strange emotion suddenly arose in her heart.
Facing Gregâs teasing, all she did was walk upstairs with her face still red.
âI should check on him too,â Greg said, following her.
Lois stopped in her tracks, feeling awkward, âWhat are you going for?â
Greg smiled and said, âDidnât you just say I know how to treat illnesses? Iâll examine my future father-in-law.â
Upon hearing the words âfather-in-law,â Loisâs face turned even redder, and she stammered, âI⦠that was just to fool Brandon Brent.â
Greg laughed, âBut I took it seriously.â
Lois, seeing his nonchalant demeanor, couldnât help but roll her eyes and said exasperatedly, âWhat good does it do you to take it seriously? You donât know medical skills.â
Greg feigned surprise, âOh, I thought you knew.â
âKnew what?â
âThat I know medical skills!â
At his words, Loisâs eyes widened in astonishment, âYou really know medical skills?â
âOf course, and my skills are pretty good too!â
âIâd believe you, yeah right!â
Lois, uninterested in entertaining him, went directly upstairs.
Greg didnât continue explaining but merely followed her with a smile on his face.
In the upstairs bedroom, Heather Crowe and Adeline Conner were sitting beside the bed, their faces etched with worry as they looked at Alfred Webb sleeping soundly.
Seeing Lois come up, Heather Croweâs face showed some displeasure and she spoke sarcastically,
âBrandon Brent kindly came to treat your dad, and you chased him away. Now, what are you going to do?â
âBrandon Brent wasnât here to treat my dad at all, he wanted to harm him!â
Lois frowned and said, âYou donât need to worry about this; Iâll figure out a way.â
Heather Crowe sneered, âYou figure out a way? How long have you been thinking of a solution?
Your dadâs illness isnât getting any better, and youâve made a mess of the hotelâs business too!â
Loisâs expression grew even grimmer, but she had no retort.
At that moment, Greg Jensen spoke up, âHow about letting me give it a try?â
âYou?â
Adeline Conner and Heather Crowe both looked over, their eyes filled with doubt.
âYou better not add to the chaos,â Lois sighed, âDonât worry, Iâll keep my promise to you.â
Seeing her response, the corners of Gregâs mouth curled up slightly as he lazily said,
âIf even I canât cure your fatherâs illness, then Iâm afraid there is no one in this world who can,â
Lois Abbott frowned, ready to rebuke, but suddenly remembered what Greg Jensen had said before.
She looked at Greg in surprise, âYou really understand medical techniques?â
âOtherwise? I donât think thereâs any need for me to lie to you,â
With a smile that was not quite a smile, Greg glanced at her and sat beside the bed to take Alfred Webbâs pulse.
Sitting opposite him, Adeline Connerâs eyes were filled with curiosity. âBrother, do you really know medical techniques?â
âOf course,â
Greg replied without lifting his head.
Heather Crowe furrowed her brow and turned to Lois, saying, âLois, your friend⦠he isnât some swindler, is he?â
Lois also had her doubts, but she and this âlittle momâ didnât get along, and she couldnât help but retort:
âIf you donât know how to speak properly, then keep quiet. Where do you see my friend looking like a swindler?â
Heatherâs face turned somewhat unsightly, and though her mouth opened, she didnât continue.
Lois snorted coldly, âGreg, how is my dad?â
Greg shook his head, remaining silent.
The three members of the Abbott family thought that Alfred Webb was in a dire state and became immediately tense, daring not even to breathe heavily.
However, what they didnât know was that Gregâs head shaking simply meant that he hadnât figured it out yet.
Because, although his mind was filled with extensive knowledge of traditional medical practices, this was his first time treating someone.
Just like physical techniques, at first, Greg found it somewhat unfamiliar, but as time went on, he became increasingly proficient.
Nonetheless, as it was his first time treating someone, he inevitably felt a lack of confidence. He compared Alfred Webbâs pulse with the medical knowledge in his mind for a long time before he finally let go.
Seeing this, Lois hurriedly asked, âGreg, how is my dad now?â
âUncleâs problem is not serious,â Greg said.
âNot serious?â
Upon hearing this, Lois immediately became excited, clutching Gregâs clothes and asking urgently, âDo you mean my dad can still be saved?â
âOf course, uncle simply has a straightforward case of cerebral infarction,â
Greg confidently said, âWith some acupuncture treatment, heâll wake up. However, for a full recovery, he still needs to take Chinese medicine for a while.â
âThatâs great!â
Lois became excited, âAs long as you can save my dad, Iâll do anything you ask!â
âLois, donât listen to his nonsense. If it was just a cerebral infarction, why hasnât any of the big hospitals detected it?â
Heather angrily said: âI think this man is a fraud!â
âThe reason machines canât detect it is because the symptoms are still very mild,â
âNonsense, you even said the symptoms are mild, then why is Alfred unconscious?â
âObviously, because the blood supply to the brain has been insufficient for too long, thatâs why he remains unconscious,â
Greg looked at her as though it was a matter of course, and then with a puzzled expression, he asked:
âDo you understand medical techniques? You donât even understand such simple logic?â
âI⦠I donât understand medicine.â
With Gregâs questioning, Heatherâs presence suddenly weakened a lot.
Where does she understand any medical techniques?
She merely saw that Greg was young and didnât dress particularly well, and inherently didnât believe him.
Greg sneered, disdainfully saying, âThen what right do you have to question me?â
âGreg, donât bother with her, just go ahead and treat my dad,â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lois also had some doubts, but many hospitals had said that there was no way to cure her fatherâs illness.
Now she could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive, temporarily trusting Greg.
Greg nodded, then said, âYou need to go out and buy a set of silver needles, and also some Chinese medicine.â
Upon hearing this, Heather couldnât help but scoff, âYou donât even have silver needles, and yet you dare to say youâre a practitioner of Chinese medicine?â
