Helen was already eighty this year, and apart from having a failing heart, she was pretty much in the
pink.
Now knowing that Kingsley could treat her cardiac disease, she couldn’t care less about seniority or
whatnot anymore and kneeled before Kingsley on the spot.
Kingsley, however, took a plain glance at her and said, “I can treat your heart condition, no problem.
But, we’ll see after Matt has awoken.”
Megan, who stood aside, hurriedly spoke up. “Kingsley’s right, Mom. Matt has to apologize for being
disrespectful to Kingsley!”
“That’s right! Kingsley’s the Larson Family’s dear son-in-law!” bellowed Michael as he puffed his chest
and raised his chin. “Matt has acted cocky for too long. It’s time he paid the price for it!”
Helen thought they were right and hurriedly promised Kingsley, “Dr. Nicholson, I’ll definitely give my
b*stard of a son a good beating after he wakes up and see that he begs for your forgiveness.”
To that, Kingsley nodded plainly, then turned to Joshua. “Mr. Johnson, you’re still rather weak. So you
have to continue recuperating in the hospital.”
“Got it, Mr. Nicholson. I’m already grateful that you saved me. You don’t have to bother yourself with an
old man like me anymore…” Joshua thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing so, Jeffred very astutely promised, “Yes, rest assured, Mr. Nicholson. I’ll definitely see that our
staff take good care of Mr. Johnson!”
He had already believed Kingsley was Ares, the God of War, who was traveling incognito. He wouldn’t
dare snub Kingsley now.
After making sure everything was settled, Kingsley finally turned to Alice. “C’mon, sis, let’s go see
Reene lest she worries.”
S-Sis?!
Kingsley’s address to Alice rendered Jeffred jaw-dropped.
Alice Kramer is Mr. Nicholson’s sister?!
I, Jeffred Church, fired the God of War’s sister?!
And worst, even let Zayne commandeer her research results!
As the thoughts crossed his mind, Jeffred thought he saw stars, and it was as though a hive of bees
were living in his ears, buzzing away.
Tap, tap, tap… He lurched a few steps back and nearly took a terrible fall!
Alan supported him and checked his pulse. “Director, your heart and lungs are damaged from being
over horrified!”
Blargh! Jeffred spewed a mouthful of blood as soon as Alan finished his words.
“Professor Gershwin, better take Director Church away for a rest,” Kingsley said plainly. “Damage to
the heart and lungs will lead to other deterioration. He’ll be fine after ingesting a calming pill added with
gold and silver leaf, amber, rhino horn, and dragon tooth.”
Alan’s eyes lit up at Kingsley’s words, and he chucked Jeffred aside to pull a notebook out of his
pocket. “I’ve never heard of such a strange prescription! I must note it down…”
On the other hand, Kingsley grabbed Alice and headed for the elevator, no longer bothered with Jeffred
and the others.
Inside the elevator, Alice asked while blinking, “Kingsley, what’s going on? How is it that you have such
remarkable medical knowledge?!”
“Um… you know I served in the military for the last decade, right?”
“Yeah, Reene told me about it.” Alice nodded. “But what does this have to do with your knowledge?
Don’t tell me you learned all this while you were in the military?!”
“Um… Y-Yeah!” Kingsley muttered irresolutely. “I got to know someone in the military whose family
were ancient doctors for five generations. He taught me all these acupuncture techniques.”
“Hereditary medical knowledge?” Alice frowned slightly. “It’s… It’s way too unbelievable. The Todds,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwho are known as the medical family, probably don’t even have such amazing hereditary medical
knowledge…”
Kingsley wiped the sweat off his forehead as he looked at Alice’s probing yet calm face. “You better
believe it! I wouldn’t have believed there was such crazy medical knowledge if I hadn’t performed it
myself…”
“Pfft!” His words got Alice bursting into a chuckle. “No matter who you learned it from, as long as you
use it to save others, I won’t press you for answers.”
Kingsley bet she didn’t believe a single word he said just now, knowing Alice was rigorous ever since
she was a child. At that, he chuckled with a guilty conscience. “Um… Alice, do you want to learn
ancient healing? I can teach you. You saw it yourself; they had even begged me.”
“Nah, forget it.” Alice shook her head. “I much prefer the feel of a knife slicing through skin.”
“……”
Okay… Kingsley didn’t know what to say to that.
Just then, the elevator pinged—it had reached Floor 17.
While the door opened slowly, Alice’s promise from the day before popped into Kingsley’s head, and he
hurriedly asked, “Alice, didn’t you say you’ll agree to any request of mine if I can cure Joshua’s
paralysis? You’re not having second thoughts, are you?”
