Chapter 68
After lunch, Cherry Dewey went out to exercise with her grandfather.
It had been six months since she could spare some time to do this so that she would enjoy it.
On their way jogging, she saw a young man squatting on the side of the road, smoking a cigarette.
There were many unfortunate people, and Cherry had met many of them. From the kindness of her heart, she sympathizes with them.
But she didnât expect this guy to take out his unfortunate life experience on her grandfather by cursing him to die.
Immediately, she became angry, glared at Leonard, and said, âWhatâs wrong with you? My grandfather didnât provoke you to deserve such a vicious curse.
âIf you donât give a good reason for that today, donât blame me for giving you a lesson.â
Cherry held her fists tight and stared straight at him as she said that.
Although she looked tame, she had a black belt in Taekwondo.
Leonard realized the other party had misunderstood him and immediately said, âLook, young lady, your grandfather has a brain disease and should not be exercising strenuously. It must be treated as soon as possible before itâs too late, or he could die.â
âThat is nonsense.â
Cherry Dewey gritted her teeth angrily.
âForget it, Cherry. People who are unhappy and take out their grievances on others, like this guy is doing. They fill themselves with negative energy. So there is no point in arguing with him.â
The old man said to his granddaughter.
Afterward, they continued their jogging.
Leonard kept on saying, âWhat I said is true. If you continue to run, you may pass out after three minutes and die in ten.
âThatâs all I can tell you, believe it or not.â
And then, Leonard put out the cigarette, got up, and left.
After Leonard left, Cherry grumbled, âGrandpa, why donât you let me teach him a lesson? Da mn, this guy.â
The old man smiled. âThis kind of rotten person is useless. He only knows about complaints and being harmful to society. Haggling with him will only lower our level. Okay, letâs keep running.â
After speaking, the old man took the lead in running.
After about 30 feet, he suddenly felt dizzy and fell straight to the ground. His whole face had turned blue-purple.
All of a sudden, he was having trouble breathing.
At that moment, Cherry turned pale with shock,
âGrandpa, whatâs wrong with you? Grandpaâ¦â
The old man was non-responsive.
With Leonardâs words still fresh in mind, Cherry put aside her pride, quickly got up, and chased after him.
Fortunately, Leonard didnât go far, and she quickly caught up with him.
Blocking Leonardâs way,
âPlease, Sir. I was wrong. My grandfather has passed out. Please save him.â
Leonard pouted.
âIâm just trashy man, and I can only talk nonsense. I canât save people.â
With that said, he was about to leave.
Seeing that, Cherry quickly went down with both knees in front of Leonard with a plop,
âI was wrong. Sir, I have mistaken you. Please save my grandpa.â
She was about to kowtow to Leonard.

What Leonard said was just some angry outburst. He was not going to stand by and watch someone die.
So he reached down and helped the woman up,
âOkay, take me back and have a look.â
At this moment, the old man was lying there motionless.
There were many
on-lookers too.
Leonard thought quickly. Typically speaking, he can massage to disperse the congestion in the old manâs brain.
But Leonard didnât have more time. So he waved Cherry out of the way, then raised his palm and slapped the old manâs forehead with it.
âWhat are you doing?â
Seeing what Leonard was doing, Cherryâs eyes widened immediately, and she came up to stop him.
But she was just a step slow, and Leonardâs palm had already slapped the old manâs forehead.
It was so forceful that the old manâs head bumped against the ground.
The on-lookers started to point fingers.
âWhatâs with that? The old man is already dead, and he still hits him with his palm.â
âIt seems that the woman begged him to save the old man just now.â
âSave him? Do you think this young man looks like he is saving people? And have you ever heard that saving people by slapping with palms?â
At that moment, Cherry was completely in a rage. She raised her leg and tried to strike Leonard with a high whip.
However, as soon as she lifted her leg, Leonard grabbed her ankle.
Cherry felt that Leonardâs hand was like an ironclad, so she immediately knew this young man was an expert.
Cherry shouted, âYou ba stard. If something happens to my grandfather, I will go after you.â
âIâm treating your grandfather.â
Leonard let go of her ankle.
Cherry almost lost her balance and stepped back a few steps.
At this moment, the old man, lying motionless on the ground, suddenly coughed.
After coughing up some thick phlegm, the old man began to breathe smoothly, and he recovered.
Cherry was about to strike again, froze on the spot.
Then, with a look of relief on her face, she went to help her grandpa up, patting him on the back.
âAre you okay, Grandpa?â
The old man was still a little dazed.
After a few seconds, he stood up and held Leonardâs hand,
âYoung man, thank you for saving my life.â
Leonard smiled and said, âSaving peopleâs lives is what I should do. I only relieved your symptoms temporarily. You still need to go to the hospital for treatment.
âHowever, if you trust me, I can give you a prescription using traditional medicine to recuperate.â
âOf course we trust you.â
The old man said quickly.
âYoung man, you just saved my life. How can I not trust you.â
âYes.â
Cherry nodded repeatedly on the side.
âOkay, do you have a pen and paper? Iâll write down the prescription for you, and you just have to buy and take.â
It was the first time Leonard had practiced his medical skills, and he was still a little apprehensive, but now seeing that the old man had recovered, his confidence suddenly soared.

Chapter 68
âI have it here.â A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses standing next to Leonard took out a piece of paper and a pen from his briefcase and handed them to him.
They all witnessed Leonardâs medical skills just now, and they admired him very much.
Leonard took the pen and wrote down the prescription.
The old man looked at it and nodded again and again.
This penmanship was excellent, with high achievement.
After handing the prescription to the old man, Leonard was about to leave.
Cherry suddenly said, âSir, you are so skilled in medicine. I have a friend whose father is terminally ill. I wonder if you can take a look.â
Cherry added, âIf you can cure my friendâs father, she is willing to pay you any amount.â
Leonard just had a small test of skills today and wanted to practice more, so he nodded. âOkay, where does your friend live? When do you want me to go?â
âShe lives in the eastern suburbs of Newden City. If itâs convenient for you, letâs go there now. Her father is dying these days.â
Seeing that Leonard had agreed, Cherry was a little excited.
âOkay.â
Leonard accepted the request.
âSir, I have to take care of my grandfather. Iâll send someone to take you there directly. Would that be okay?â
âNo problem.â
Leonard nodded.
Cherry made a phone call, and two passenger vans arrived after a little while.
Cherry helped her grandfather get into one of them, while Leonard got into the other one and headed straight for the eastern suburbs.
Eastern suburb, villa area.
The commercial vehicle stopped at the gate of the villa compound.
A woman was anxiously standing at the door, looking around.
She was a bit surprised when she saw Leonard coming out of the van. She didnât expect him to be so young.
But the next moment, she went straight up and grabbed Leonardâs hand, and pulled him inside.
âMy father is dying. If you can save him, I will give you six million dollars.â
