âYouâre here?â
Taylor Ware pursed her lips, ready to make a few sarcastic remarks, but suddenly remembered her fatherâs illness had been cured by Greg Jensen, and she couldnât help but freeze on the spot.
If she let Greg intervene, it would make her seem inferior, and she couldn t swallow her pride; but if she didnât, the person in front of her seemed to be in some danger.
After a moment of hesitation, she decided to try her own method first and would only ask Greg for help if that failed.
âI told you to move aside, donât you understand?â
Seeing the patient in a critical condition, Greg didnât have time to explain things to her and simply grabbed her by the neck and tossed her aside like a chicken.
Then he crouched down, rudely tearing open Spencer Burleyâs clothes to reveal
a chest utterly devoid of muscle.
Being thrown aside in front of everyone, Taylor felt a deep humiliation.
She stood up angrily, about to confront Greg with all she had but was suddenly stopped in her tracks again.
By this time, Greg had taken out the silver needle he always carried with him, disinfected it, and began to insert the needles into Spencerâs chest one after the other.
His technique was extremely skilled, and the speed was at its limit.
What was even more astonishing was that the trajectory of each needle insertion seemed to follow a certain pattern, looking very smooth and making onlookers subconsciously fixated, reluctant to look away.
In the blink of an eye, Spencerâs chest was filled with silver needles.
Greg focused and calmly gave a sharp slap on Spencer s chest.
With a smack, the silver needles visibly trembled at a rate discernible to the naked eye, even emitting a faint buzzing sound.
The next second, Spencerâs chest began to heave violently, and his complexion rapidly changed from blue to red.
The onlookers, witnessing this scene, all held their breath, too tense even to breathe heavily.
âCough coughâ¦â
Sudden severe coughs rang out, and Spencer Burley struggled to open his eyes, his gaze filled with exhaustion and confusion.
âWhat⦠what happened to me?â
âHey, heâs awake, he really woke up!â
âFuck, thatâs incredible!â
âDivine Doctor!â
A cheer erupted from the crowd; regardless of whether they knew Spencer or not, joyous smiles spread across everyoneâs faces.
Taylor was no exception.
The contempt and doubt in her heart had vanished with those coughs, replaced by a deep shock and an indescribable sentiment.
She stared blankly at Gregâs retreating figure, her eyes filled with amazement, appreciation, and even a hint of admiration.
Isnât he amazing?
Is this the power of traditional Chinese medicine?
In the blink of an eye, he could pull a person back from the brink of death!
No wonder her father said he was a Divine Doctor; his medical skills were indeed that impressive.
Taylor herself didnât realize that her dislike for Greg had nothing to do with the embrace they shared that night.
The main reason was because of her father Chestor Wareâs praise for Greg. When Taylor was young, during the time her father Chestor Ware was building his business from scratch, he was so busy that he had no time to spend with her.
Furthermore, with her constant practice of martial arts, Chestor often criticized her, which left her with a great sense of resentment.
Because of this, when she saw her father praising Greg, she felt somewhat aggrieved.
They were both young; she was Chestor Wareâs daughter, so why should her father praise someone else and not acknowledge her?
However, facts proved that Chesterâs judgment was right, and there was a reason for his praise of Greg.
Gregâs medical skills were indeed powerful, and she couldnât help but acknowledge it.
âEveryone spread out, donât crowd around here, let some fresh air circulate.â
Seeing the miracle unfold, Gregâs words became an absolute command. Before the echo of his voice faded, everyone scattered with a whoosh, standing at a distance to watch.
Adrian Wright saw his friend awake and was almost moved to tears, excitedly saying, âSpencer, man, you scared the living hell out of me.â
âYeah, it was terrifying. We were just talking, and suddenly you passed out. If it werenât for the Divine Doctor saving you, we might have lost you.â
âGlad youâre awake. Otherwise, we really wouldnât know howto explain it to your old man.â
Listening to everyone chattering about what happened, Spencer Burley finally realized what had transpired.
He was still optimistic, not worrying about his health, but said with a grin.
âDivine Doctor, thankyou. From today onward, Iâm your guy. Um⦠are you lacking a wife by any chance?â
âGet lost!â
Greg Jensen, with a face full of aggravation, laughed and scolded, âYou still have the mood to joke around, do you have any idea how dangerous it was just now? A little later and your little life would have been over.â
âIâm not joking though, do you want a wife or not?â
Spencer Burley laughed and said, âI have an older sister, beautiful and with a sweet voice, loves arranging flowers and doing housework; she just doesnât like going out and the family is worried sick about her marrying off.â
âUh, the wife youâre talking about⦠is your sister?â
âWhat else?â
Spencer Burley looked bewildered and said, âYou didnât think it was me, did you?â
âHahahaâ¦â
A burst of laughter suddenly filled the crowd, immediately dispersing the life- and-death tension that had been present. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Spencer Burley earnestly continued, âSeriously though, my sister is really greatâ¦â
âHeh, is your sister older than I am?â
âHeh, is your sister cuter than I am?â
Two chilly voices suddenly emerged, carrying a bone-chilling coldness, as if they could freeze someone solid.
Spencer Burleyâs heart inexplicably shuddered and when he looked up, he saw two beautiful women, big and small, staring at him coldly.
âThese two areâ¦â
âOh, this is my girlfriend Lois Abbott, and the other is her younger sister Iris.â Upon hearing this, Spencer Burley looked helplessly at Greg Jensen and said with a touch of complaint, âDude, youâve got a girlfriend? You should have said something earlierâ¦â
Greg Jensen replied, torn between laughter and tears, âYou never asked me, man.â
âHahaha.â
The crowd burst into laughter once again.
Taylor Ware, standing nearby, couldnât help but feel surprised; she hadnât expected Greg Jensenâs girlfriend to be so striking, and it seemed that her younger sister also had an interest in him.
Whatâs more, she knew this person as they had both attended the same social gathering with their fathers and had enjoyed a cheerful chat.
She glanced at Lois Abbottâs figure and then at her own chest muscles, which had grown increasingly robust from years of martial arts training, feeling a surge of inferiority.
Considering that it was this woman who was lying in Greg Jensenâs arms last night, making those embarrassing noises, she felt a flicker of jealousy.
Ah, whatâs gotten into me?
Taylor Wareâs face instantly flushed red, inwardly chastising herself for feeling envious over an unashamed flirt.
She shot Greg Jensen a resentful glance and quietly moved to slip away from the crowd, intending to rest for a while on a bench.
However, the moment she stirred, Lois Abbott noticed.
âTaylor, what brings you here?â Lois Abbott said with surprise.
With no other choice, Taylor Ware feigned enthusiasm and replied, âIris, itâs been so long.â
âDid you come by yourself?â
âUh, did you?â
Taylor Ware regretted the question as soon as it left her mouth, wishing she could slap herself.
Sure enough, Lois Abbott pointed to Greg Jensen and happily declared, âNo, I came with my boyfriend and my sister.â
