Chapter 506



.

Concern crept back into Simon’s voice. “Nora, now that he’s involved, you’re going to be in a bind.”

Just like what had happened earlier, if the affair had only been about something she had supposedly said, Simon could still suppress the matter and explain to everyone that she had said nothing of the sort.

However, Blaine had appeared out of nowhere and had issued a challenge to the alternative medicine circle. Moreover, he had done so in her name and even claimed to be at the forefront of the campaign for her.

Winning or losing was no longer important, because Blaine’s actions had successfully provoked a confrontation between alternative and modern medicine practitioners.

Your imagination starts at g Ɐ ln σ ν𝒆 𝓁s․conn If Nora were to run with Blaine, it would cement what she had supposedly said earlier. Even if she won the competition, she would lose the support of the alternative medicine community and would be in trouble in the United States in the future.

However, if he were to step forward and apologize to the alternative medicine community, people would say he had chickened out. Getting angry with the modern medicine community would also make his life miserable in the country. This is not to say that he could no longer use his identity as an Anti to make money. However, she would no longer be respected by people in the medical profession both nationally and internationally as she currently was!

In addition, as the Smiths’ youngest and the future matriarch of the Hunts, she would also end up making the Smiths and the Hunts look somewhat frivolous.

In short, there were a lot of disadvantages!

Nora realized all this in an instant. She curved her lips into a smile. As Simon was about to scold her some more, she suddenly said, “Don’t worry, Uncle Simon, I know what I’m doing.”

Simon’s anxious words immediately stuck in his throat.

After all he had been through, Simon now trusted and believed wholeheartedly in his niece. It was as if he was sure she could solve problems just because she had said she knew what she was doing.

So, he paused for a few seconds before finally saying, “…. All right, it’s great that you have a solution.”

Nora made a sound of acknowledgment. When she wanted to hang up, Simon said, “By the way, when will you be free to come home for a visit? Your aunt and your two cousins miss you.”

No sooner had he said that than Nora faintly heard Logan’s voice in the background. “Who misses her?! Dad, don’t talk nonsense!”

Beside him, Melissa asked quietly, “When did Nora say she’d be back? I’ll prepare a whole table of delicious food for her.” Nora then asked, “Where’s Sheril?”

Simon replied, “She’s in the lab. Ever since you borrowed the lab to make the Zabe Corporation’s Soothing Pills, and she won a bet with some of the old guys there, they have completely given up on her. Now everyone in the lab listens to her and she has been trying out many new ways of making medicine. She’s so busy she doesn’t even come home anymore.”

Indeed, it was good to be able to find what one liked and stick to it.

Although Sheril led a simple life, it was a fulfilling and happy one. Nora thought of Sheril’s optimism and cheerfulness when she lived with the Andersons, as well as the conflicting contrast between her cute and docile appearance with her love of vodka. He smiled and said, “Well, as long as she’s happy.”

No sooner had she said that than Melissa snatched the phone from Simon and said, “Nora, get in touch with her when you have time and get her involved in other activities. The bottom line here is that it’s time for her to start dating.”

Nora was dumbfounded. She hadn’t expected a woman as elegant as her aunt to force her daughter to date.

She coughed. “Okay.”

After hanging up, she picked up the phone again. After a moment’s thought, she called Blaine.

They had both been involved in a patient’s consultation years before, so they had exchanged contact information with each other.

Blaine answered the call quickly. “Anti, are you here to thank me? I’ve long been unhappy with the alternative medicine circle. They are nothing but a bunch of frauds. Imbalance of energies in the body? What nonsense! We, modern doctors, will not recognize such nonsense! It’s a pity that your words last time didn’t have enough impact, so I’ve given you a hand. With that, the two of us can cause a big stir in America’s alternative medicine circle and turn it upside down!”

Nora: “?”

After hearing what he said, she replied. “Who says alternative medicine is inferior to modern medicine?”

Blaine paused for a moment before asking, “What, you really think alternative medicine is better than modern medicine?”

Nora lowered her gaze. “You don’t have to deliberately misinterpret my words. I didn’t say anything of the sort either. It’s just that your act of provoking the alternative medicine circle seems to me to be very stupid.”

Blaine snorted. “What do you mean by that, I’ve done all this for you! It doesn’t matter that you don’t thank me, but that you say that…now I get it. Surely you’re not chickening out now that you’re back in the States, are you?

To think that the best surgeon in modern medicine is afraid of alternative medicine practitioners in America! Aren’t you afraid of offending the circle of modern medicine if you say that!!!! Alternative medicine is just a niche, while modern medicine has become mainstream. I ask you to think it through. Also, I have contacted some modern medicine doctors and have made an appointment with people from the alternative medicine circle for a contest two days later. If you don’t show up, I’m afraid the modern medicine doctors who put you on a pedestal will be very disappointed with you. I will send you the address. You are free to decide whether you want to apply or not.”

After saying this, he hung up. Then, he sent her the address.

Nora: “…”

Evidently, she had been the one who had called to question him. Where did Blaine get the confidence to talk to her like that?

Nora’s expression had darkened.

She let out a cold laugh. Then her phone rang. When she answered the call, she saw it was Sheril. Sheril asked timidly, “Nora, have you issued a challenge to the alternative medicine circle?”

Nora was angry at the time, so she immediately responded, “It wasn’t me. Some idiot did it.”

Sheril’s wariness immediately disappeared and she became furious. “I knew it couldn’t be you! Considering how strong your skills are at making medicine, why would you disregard alternative medicine? This must be some conspiracy that Blaine or whatever his name is came up with! He must be sick in the head. Otherwise, why would he do that? Don’t worry, Nora, we have already discussed this and decided that I will enter the competition. I will defeat Blaine and then declare in front of the whole world that it was you who manufactured the Zabe Corporation’s Soothing Pills and that you are not only a master of modern medicine, but also a master of the pharmaceutical industry!”

Nora: “?”

Shocked, she said, “Okay, I support you.”

Sheril also felt somewhat embarrassed after saying that, so she immediately asked with a smile, “By the way, will you be there that day?”

Will she be there?

The corners of Nora’s lips curved into a smile. “Of course.”

Of course, she had to be there. Otherwise, how else was she going to slap Blaine?

Besides, the effects of alternative medicine in treating illness had always been slow. Without it, and considering the abilities of those few people in the alternative medicine circle, she thought they might lose to Blaine!

Sheril let out a sigh of relief. “It’s okay. Don’t worry, Nora, I’m sure I’ll fix it for you! Even if I lose the competition, at least, I shouldn’t let the alternative medicine circle people hate you….. I’m sure I can at least make it!”
