Chapter 265 Saving Your Dad
The Understated Dragon Lord
"I've just examined your dad! Iâm a doctor, and I can treat his condition," Daniel insisted, preparing
to administer acupuncture with his Needle of the Seven Dragons.
"What are you doing?" Abigail stopped Daniel, refusing to let him perform the procedure.
"Saving your dad!"
"Saving him? I think you're trying to harm him. What the heck are you holding? Where did you pick
up that filthy needle? Did you even sterilize it? What if you infect my dad with it?"
Abigail bombarded Daniel with rapid-fire questions, her mini-tirade leaving his good intentions
shattered.
"Your dad's having a heart attack! If I donât perform acupuncture right away, he might die. Then all
you can do is hold him and cry."
"You call yourself a doctor? I can tell you're a fraud. Acupuncture? Itâs all nonsense!"
"Itâs infuriating that youâre questioning my sincere attempt to save your fatherâs life. My medical skills
are a treasure of the United States, theyâve been here for thousands of years. You should know,
Native Americans have been using shamanistic healing for that long!"
"Relying on shamans for thousands of years, and how high is the average lifespan of Native
Americans? I havenât seen any who lived past a hundred!"
"Thatâs because the settlers came!"
"Heh," Abigail chuckled dismissively. "I knew that would be your excuse. Scammers like you who
rely on shamanistic trickery always make this claim. You can maybe deceive country housewives
with that rubbish, but you canât fool me, I wonât believe it!"
"So you donât care if your dad dies?"
"Who said I donât care? I graduated from the New York Medical University, and Iâm a resident doctor
at the hospital. Iâll call my supervisor right now."
After declaring this, Abigail took out her phone and made a call.
Witnessing Daniel being overwhelmed by the young girlâs defiance, Brittany couldn't help but find
joy in his struggle. She taunted Daniel with a smug smile. "Country boy, werenât you often
unstoppable with your tricks, and no one ever resisted you? How come your charm has failed now,
in front of a young lady? Especially one graduated from New York Medical University, ranked
among the top three medical schools in the country. You think you could deceive her with your lowly
tricks? You're more naive than I thought. So let's just leave; it's getting late and it would be
troublesome if you had an accident in the dark."
Despite witnessing Daniel's medical talents before, Brittany still believed his successes were mere
flukes, not genuine competence. Besides, her primary reason to bring Daniel back was to make him
pose as her boyfriend, so her mother would stop nagging about finding one. Daniel theoretically
cure her grandfatherâs chronic ailments was nothing more than a pretext; she was acutely aware
that Daniel couldnât possibly cure her grandfather's long-standing everyday illnesses.
