The doctor felt utterly put on the spot after that tongue–lashing. However, his diagnosis was indeed made- according to the pulse that he felt. So, he didn’t dare say anything and bowed slightly before taking a step. back with his head lowered in shame.

The short–haired young men turned to look at William and the rest before asking, “Uncle Sheldon, I think it’s better to stop for the day. Grandpa’s tired.”
Sheldon commented, “Karter, let the two doctors take a look.”
Karter nodded and asked. “Which doctor will go first?”
Then, Dr. Hamilton stepped forward. “Please let me.”
He sat by the bed and focused on reading Robert’s pulse. After a while, he let go and drawled out the words, “Old Mr. Cromwell indeed is weak and has excessive hear”
Then, he paused for a moment before continuing, “Besides that, he probably had a cold two weeks ago and even got a shock from a fall.
Karter’s eyes brightened at that moment. “That’s right, Doctor! Grandpa had a cold two weeks ago but quickly recovered from that. Then, he fell during a hike and experienced shock due to the incident.”
Dr. Hamilton nodded. “Then, that’s it. I’ll prescribe something to remove the heat and help calm him. He should recover in a few days.”
Karter was grateful. Thank you for help.” Then, he immediately asked for a pen and paper.
On the other hand, William had been observing the patient since he entered. So, once he heard Dr. Hamilton’s prognosis, he couldn’t help but chime in, “The patient was indeed frightened by the fall and had a cold. But those aren’t the actual reasons he fell sick.”
Dr. Hamilton’s hand paused mid–air as he was about to write on the paper upon hearing that. Yet, he wasn’t the least bit angry at the interruption as he turned to look at William and asked genially, “Oh? Do you have a better opinion, lad?”
William replied, “I wouldn’t dare call it a better opinion. I was just looking at things from a different perspective.”
When Josh sensed that William, was about to mess up his plan, he couldn’t help but pipe up, “You imposter. How dare you criticize Dr. Hamilton? You’ve got some nerve.”
Karter frowned as he knew Josh and asked, “Josh, you’re saying he’s an imposter?”
Josh immediately answered, “Yes. I’know him. He’s not a doctor at all.”
Then, Karter turned to look at Sheldon, “Uncle Sheldon, who invited him here?”
However, Sheldon was unaffected and said calmly, “Don’t panic. Since he’s already here, let’s hear Mr. Barrett’s opinion.”
With that, everyone diverted their gaze to William, waiting to hear what he had to say.

bed It’s been here for some time, yes?”
Sheldon nodded. “Yes. It’s passed down through generations. It’s made from rosewood.”
William nodded. “That’s the cause of the issue.”

Karter frowned. “My grandpa has slept on this bed all his life. Now, you’re saying the bed is the problem?”
Thus, William explained further, “It’s fine to sleep on this bed. However, Old Mr. Cromwell had medicinal herb called the snow mountain Ganoderma lucidum a week ago. The medicinal effects of that herb and the fragrance of the rosewood cause mutual inhibition. Therefore, as time went by, its negative. side effects would appear in Old Mr. Cromwell’s body.”
Karter was taken aback and muttered absent–mindedly, “That’s right. Grandpa had a bowl of Ganoderma lucidum lamb stew. I also had half a bowl back then.
Sheldon’s eyes lit up as a thought popped up in his mind, and he asked, “Doctor, are you saying that his illness will be healed when he leaves the bed?”
William nodded. “Of course.”
Dr. Hamilton nodded in agreement after he heard that.
On the other hand, Josh just scoffed in disbelief, “What nonsense is this? Mutual inhibition? It’s all bullsh*t!”
Sheldon furrowed his brow at these repeated interruptions. Frankly, Josh was starting to get on his nerves. Josh, leave the room.”
Josh was stunned and shot daggers at William before storming off. The other middle–aged man who came with him was at a loss of what to do and didn’t say anything. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Shelden then asked William, “Mr. Barrett, do you know how to help my father recover quicker?”
All this while, many doctors had claimed that they could cure Robert. However, it all led to disappointment in the end. Nonetheless, things were finally looking up. So, Sheldon didn’t want to wait any longer.
William said with a smile, “Of course. Please move Old Mr. Cromwell to a different room.”
A group of people appeared out of nowhere and carefully carried Robert off the bed and moved him into a different room.
After they had settled Robert in the new room, William took out the golden needles and performed acupuncture on him. This acupuncture technique, called the Dragon Sun Needle, can stimulate the human body’s immune system and make them feel refreshed after the procedure.
Dr. Hamilton, who stood by the side as a spectator, jumped to his feet when he saw William’s technique and gasped in astonishment, “Is this the legendary Dragon Sun Needle?”
William was a little surprised and smiled. “Indeed. You’ve got a good eye, Dr. Hamilton.”
Then, he continued with the treatment. Not long after, Robert opened his eyes and asked the people around him, “How long have I slept?”

Sheldon was delighted and stepped forward, “Dad, you’ve been out for a few days. How are you feeling?”
To their surprise, Robert wanted to sit up, and Karter rushed to support him. “Careful, Grandpa.
Once Robert had sat upright, Sheldon passed a face towel over and helped wipe Robert’s face.
Now, Robert seemed to be in better spirits and smiled. “I had a long dream and dreamed of your mother”
Sheldon replied, “Moms probably missed you. So, she came to visit you in your dream”
Alas, Robert sighed, “Your mother passed away almost 20 years ago. If she was still alive” He suddenly choked on tears.
Old people were like children and would go through huge emotional rollercoasters. So, Sheldon tried to console him. Thankfully, Robert calmed down after some time,
Then, Sheldon gestured for William and the rest to leave the room. The staff immediately led them to the hall outside.

Once they were there, Sheldon bowed deeply at William, “Please accept my deepest gratitude, Dr. Barrett!”
William hastily returned the courtesy and said, “It’s my job.”
Jonathan didn’t even bother concealing the grin on his face as he said, “Mr. Sheldon, Dr. Barrett is my buddy. You don’t need to be so nice. You can always call us when you need us in the future.”
However, William wondered when he was so close to Jonathan and gave him a look. But Jonathan merely laughed in response.
Karter also changed his mind about William and exclaimed, “Your medical skills are impressive, Dr. Barrett!”
Beside them, Dr. Hamilton had already recovered his calm poise. Nevertheless, William remained very respectful of him and bowed slightly. ‘Dr. Hamilton, I didn’t mean to offend you earlier. I was just saying what I saw to save the patient.”
Dr. Hamilton chuckled lightly and replied, “What a benevolent doctor you are. Worry not. You didn’t offend me at all. Your perspective has widened my horizons instead. I should be thanking you for such an opportunity.”
William hurriedly answered, “That’s just because you didn’t notice the bed. If not, I’m sure you’ll realize what the cause was.”
Dr. Hamilton’s regard for William increased when he noticed that the acclaim the young man received didn’t go to his head. Thus, he entreated, “William, let’s meet up one day. I would like to discuss the Dragon Sun Needle with you if you’d be so kind.”
William replied politely, “Of course. That would be my honor.” Then, they exchanged phone numbers.
Later o
on, Dr. Hamilton and the middle–aged man left, as did the rest of the doctors. Suddenly, the Cromwell Residence seemed empty.
Sheldon waved his hand, and a butler came over holding a tray with a red cloth on it, and on that was an envelope that held a check inside.

“Mr. Barrett, this is 70 thousand for the consultation fee, Please take it
Jonathan immediately shot to his feet and rejected in his stead, “Mr. Sheldon, what type of person do you think I am? We can’t take this money”
However, Sheldon smiled. “Jonathan, this consultation fee is for Mr. Barrett. It’s not for you. Besides, I heard about your situation. Wyatt said he wants to kill you?”
Jonathan sighed as his shoulders slumped, “I swear I’d rather not trouble you, but I’m really but of options, Mr. Sheldon”
Sheldon didn’t look bothered and merely nodded. “I understand. I’ll speak to Wyatt. You don’t have to worry about this any longer.
Jonathan was thrilled as he bowed before Sheldon and said, “Thank you, Mr. Sheldon!”
Then, Sheldon turned to William and commented, “It’s impressive that you have such great skill at such a young age. I’m sure I’ll be seeing you often.”
William replied courteously, “I’m a doctor. Saving patients is my job. You’re too kind”
After that, William and Jonathan left the Cromwell Residence. After they got in the car, Jonathan grinned from ear to ear, “Brother, you saved me once again!”
William paused for a moment before saying, “Do you remember why I came to Kreim? I mentioned the Farrells.”
Jonathan’s smile disappeared once they started talking business, and he replied resolutely, “The Farrell Family is a tough cookie. But don’t worry, Buddy. Your problem is my problem. If the Farrells dared to mess with you, I’d make sure that they’ll think twice!”
William told him, “I’m not scared if whatever happened between us stays that way. But I’m worried that the Farrells would cross the line and decide to target my family.”
He contemplated his options for a moment before requesting, “Help me tell the Farrells that if they cross my bottom line, I will make them disappear from this world!”
William’s tone wasn’t dark, but his words still made Jonathan’s heart skip a beat. “Brother, I will tell them that. I’ll also warn them. If they touch you, it means they’re starting a fight with me too!”
Then, he grinned, “I’ve got a few pretty ladies lined up for you. So, why don’t you enjoy yourself tonight?”
“No way,” William immediately rejected his proposal. “My sister’s with me.”
Hence, Jonathan scratched his head. “It’s okay. I’ll ask my wife to take care of her. Then, we can go out and have some fun.”
William replied, “It’s alright. Next time.”
So, Jonathan nodded. “Sure. No problems. We’ll just drink to celebrate our victory tonight.”
In the afternoon, Jonathan showed up at a famous restaurant in Kreim with his wife and son. They planned on treating William and Mia to lunch.
Jonathan’s wife was only 30 years old, looking enching and elegant, while their son was around 12 years

old. He was a cheeky, naughty boy as he kept fidgeting while his eyes darted around the restaurant.
After everyone sat down, Jonathan smiled. “Son, greet Uncle William.”
The little boy blinked his eyes and chimed, “Hi, Uncle William. I’m Johan
Jonathan laughed heartily, “Buddy, this little guy is smart. But he refuses to listen to reason. So, now he has terrible scores, just like me.”
Jonathan’s wife rolled her eyes at him. “And you’re happy about that. He’s almost the last in class. I’m this close to losing it.”
“Oh, right. This is Edith Rivers, my wife. This is my best buddy, William Barrett. He’s saved my life twice! He even settled the thing with Wyatt.
Edith wasn’t an ordinary person. She was the young mistress of the Rivers Family. They were the agents for many luxury brands and luxury cars. One could say that it was all thanks to them that Jonathan stood where he was today.
Nonetheless, Edith rose to her feet and graced the siblings with a gentle smile, “William, thank you for saving my husband. Here’s a toast to you,”
She was forthright and downed the wine in one go.
William had no choice but to finish his glass as well. “That’s courteous of you, Edith. Jonathan and I are brothers. So, it’s only right for me to help him out when he’s in need.”
Jonathan chuckled boisterously before clinking glasses with him, “That’s right! Cheers!”
At that moment, Edith took out two small cards from her bag. It was made with platinum and had some weight. She passed one to Jonathan and the other to Mia. “William. Mia. My family is an agent for luxury brands. You can use these two cards anywhere in the country. So, if you have your eye on anything, just use this card. Jonathan will pay for it.”
Jonathan laughed again. “Yes. There’s a 15 million limit on those cards. Be careful not to max it out. Else, I’d go bankrupt.”
Mia didn’t dare to accept the card when she heard how valuable it was. Yet, William didn’t even bat an eye as he took the card. “Thank you, Edith.”
Only then did Mia accept the card and sweetly thank Jonathan and Edith.
As they bantered and laughed, the dishes were served. Unfortunately, before they could start eating, the door was pushed open by a short–haired middle–aged man dressed in a black suit. The man didn’t even bother greeting them as he walked in and plopped down opposite Jonathan.
Jonathan saw him and tensed up before questioning sharply. “Wyatt, why are you here?”
