Chapter 219 The Message âMy child, you scared me to death! Thank you so much, young man. You are truly our familyâs lifesaver!â
The middle-aged woman was the first to react, immediately kneeling before Finnegan.
The scene was filled with enthusiastic applause and praise. âThe young doctor is impressive!â
Finnegan helped her to her feet.
âMaâam, a childâs windpipe is not fully developed and can easily get blocked. Please be careful when feeding them in the future, or else it could lead to trouble.â
The middle-aged woman nodded repeatedly. âI understand. It wonât happen again in the future.â
With a nod, Finnegan said, The child was rescued, and the middle-aged woman had no objections. She quickly went over to Yuliana to pay.
Although Millicent was her complexion still didnât look good. âFinneganâ¦â
No sooner had she started to speak than a few of the patients who had pushed their way forward shoved her aside.
âEven the renowned Dr. Magnussen couldnât diagnose it, but you managed to cure it. It seems you really are a skilled doctor!â
âMy leg has been hurting and swollen for quite a few days now, and Iâve taken quite a bit of medicine.
Could you please take a look, young man?â
âAnd my head, itâs been feeling so heavy these past few days. Itâs like I have absolutely no energy.â
Seeing all the patients who were originally seeking treatment from Jerome turning to him, Finnegan couldnât help but smile. âDonât rush. One at a time. You can also go see Mr. Magnussen. I canât handle everyone by myself.â
Seeing Finnegan sitting down as if nothing had happened, ready to see his next patient, Millicent, who had just been slapped, shouted angrily, âFinnegan, do you still treat me as your elder? No matter what, I am still Berniceâs grandmother. You slapped me. Donât you think you owe me an explanation? Also, youâre simply not good enough for Bernice. I demand you break up with her immediately!â
That booming voice instantly hushed the crowd.
Finnegan raised his eyebrows as he looked at Millicent.
âCanât you see Iâm about to see a patient? If you can wait, then wait. If you canât, then get lost. Say one more word and Iâll take action.â
Finnegan certainly wouldnât indulge such a snobbish old woman who looked down on people.
Moreover, Millicent was not even Berniceâs biological grandmother.
She just wanted to use Bernice to gain benefits for her own sonâs family.
Millicent was getting impatient, but Queenie held her back once again. âGrandma, donât bother arguing with such an uncultured person. Besides, there arenât many patients left. Letâs wait until heâs done.â
If Finnegan really takes action against us again, it will be embarrassing.
With a huff, Millicent took a seat on the chair that Timothy had pulled over for her.
Letâs see just how capable Finnegan really is.
Finnegan beckoned the patient to come over and sit down, ready to start the diagnosis and treatment.
âYouâre suffering from gout and rheumatism, and itâs been over a decade. Iâm going to perform acupuncture on you now. After that, youâll need to take a few rounds of medication. You should be fully recovered in a week.â
âYour headache is due to chronic insomnia, which has resulted in neuralgia. Iâll prescribe you some medication to calm your nerves and aid sleep. Once your sleep pattern is adjusted, you should naturally recover âMajam, your current condition is a result of not properly taking care of yourself after childbirth. I will perform acupuncture on you now, and afterward, you should take several doses of traditional medicine, Continue this treatment for seven days and you should be fine.â
âThis isnât allergic dermatitis youâre dealing with, but dermatomycosis. Iâll treat you with anti-
inflammatory measures and acupuncture. Thereâs no need for medication, and youâll be healed in three days.â
Next, Finnegan demonstrated extraordinary medical skills, completing the diagnosis and treatment of a patient in just a few minutes on average.
Upon seeing this, the patients who originally sought Finnegan for saving the child were astounded. âMy goodness, this young doctor is a miracle worker! Iâve never seen anyone treat illnesses so quickly.â
The patient who had just been treated for gout and rheumatism chimed in, âAbsolutely, heâs a miracle doctor. You know, Iâve been troubled by this problem for years, and Iâve spent tens of thousands on treatments and medications to no avail. But after this young doctor performed acupuncture on me, I canât feel the pain anymore.â
Upon hearing the experiences of these treated patients, those who were originally queuing for Jerome all rushed over.
âTake a look at me too!â
Millicent, Timothy, and Queenie were all dumbfounded.
How could this happen?
Is his medical skill really that good?
How can treating a patient be easier than drinking water?
Millicentâs expression shifted before she stood up. âLetâs go!â
She stepped out first.
Timothy and Queenie caught up. âGrandma, why are you leaving? Werenât you going to make Finnegan and Bernice break up? And he just slapped you. Are we just going to let that slide?â
Touching her still-aching face, Millicent gritted her teeth and said, âOf course we canât let it slide. But this d*mn kid is in the limelight right now. If we keep bothering him, we risk angering the crowd. Itâs not worth it.â
Reflecting on those patients who had referred to Finnegan as the young miracle doctor, the Zimmerman siblings found themselves humbled and in awe.
Turning her head back, Millicent glanced at Jerome Medical Clinic and said, âAnd that kid dared to slap me. It shows that he wonât break up with Bernice. We need to think of another way.â
Queenie asked, âWhat other options do we have? Bernice simply wonât listen to you.â
After some thought, Millicent said, âLetâs discuss this when we get back. But we absolutely cannot let your grandfather know that we came looking for Finnegan.â
Bruce had somewhat changed his opinion about Finnegan.
If he were to find out that Finnegan could cure diseases and was even being called a young miracle doctor, there was no telling if he would reject Liam directly.
Finnegan finished seeing patients shortly after the three left.
Only then did he realize they had already left. âWhen did they leave?â
He had been thinking of teaching Millicent a lesson after all the patients had left to vent some anger on behalf of Bernice.
Casper laughed and said, âThey left when you were seeing patients earlier. They didnât look so good.â
âThat old hag got the message.â Finnegan stretched lazily. âIf there werenât any patients around, I would have knocked all her teeth out.â
âFinnegan, were those Ms. Zimmermanâs grandmother and cousins we just met?â
Finnegan said playfully, âIt seems so.â
In terms of blood relation, Millicent was not Berniceâs biological grandmother.
Casper curled his lip and said, âMs. Zimmerman is such a good person. How could she have such relatives? Finnegan, why donât you consider my sister instead? You wouldnât have to worry about dealing with such difficulties!â
The conversation naturally led to this matter.
Finnegan chuckled and retorted, âGet lost. Iâm going to marry Bernie in the future, not her relatives. As long as Bernie isnât that kind of person, itâs all good.â
To avoid Casper making any more startling remarks, Finnegan stood up at the right moment.
âThere shouldnât be many patients coming up next. Iâll go out for a stroll.â
Just as he stepped out, he noticed seven or eight cars approaching from the opposite direction.
There was a van, and a truck loaded with construction materials.
Leading the way was an MPV worth millions.
As the car door swung open, Hailey stepped out, her face unnaturally pale.
She gave Finnegan a complicated look, then turned to the people getting out of the van. âThis is the place. Letâs get to work!â
That was a group of construction workers. After hearing Haileyâs words, they opened the doors of the three interconnected shops across the street and then began to move the items from the truck into the shops.
Seeing this, Finnegan patted Casper on the shoulder. âCall me if thereâs need anything. Iâm off for a walk!â
