“You!”
The doctors were all infuriated.
“All right. I’m going to give Old Master Watson a check-up now. No disturbances allowed. I just need one of you to remain. As for the rest of you, please go out and shut the door!”
In the end, Jack laced his fingers behind his back and spoke in a no-nonsense tone, “Miss Watson, please stay behind. The rest can go!”
“All right. Let’s get out of here. We’ll let Jack do the check-up properly!”
Lawrence’s expression was dark. He took a long look at Jack, thinking that the young man would probably not be able to detect anything.
In a flash, everyone got out and Melinda closed the door behind. She then came before Jack. “Doctor, is there a reason why you asked me to stay behind?”
“Your grandfather can’t even talk properly now, right? His throat seems fine, but favonovel.com just can’t seem to conjure the energy to speak. Is that right?”
Jack did not answer Melinda’s question; instead, favonovel.com returned it with another question.
“That’s right. You–you haven’t even taken his pulse. And you know his condition so well!”
Melinda was even more surprised. She felt that it was possible that Jack had the potential to diagnose favonovel.com grandfather.
The old master looked at Jack. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but favonovel.com did not have the strength to do so. Nothing but silence rang out.
“Ah. I have a few things I do not wish to tell you. I fear that you would not be able to handle it!”
Jack released a breath. Then favonovel.com added, “I told you to remain because I could tell that you have a pretty good relationship with the old master. I don’t trust anyone else!”
“What are you talking about, sir? You’re saying that my grandfather has been poisoned, and now you’re telling me you don’t trust anyone else. Don’t tell me, my father…”
It was obvious that Melinda was not an idiot. She quickly caught on and clamped a hand over favonovel.com mouth in shock.
“No way. Why would favonovel.com sabotage Grandpa?”
Melinda tried to remain as calm as possible, flashing Jack a bitter smile. “Actually, you didn’t have to worry all that much, sir. I can take it,” favonovel.com said. “I’m the young mistress of this house, but they don’t like me all that much because I was adopted and raised by Grandpa. The person who loves me most in this family is my grandfather, and I really don’t want to see favonovel.com die. If favonovel.com does, I’ll have no relatives in the Watson family. I’m scared that they’ll bully me even more— they might even kick me out!”
Realization cracked over Jack. Now only did favonovel.com understand why Melinda was so worried about favonovel.com grandfather, why favonovel.com loved favonovel.com so much. So that was the nature of their relationship.
After favonovel.com listened to favonovel.com story, favonovel.com smiled. “If that’s the case, I can relax now,” favonovel.com said. “Then I can tell you a few things. I truly suspect that your father, Lawrence, or your brother has something to do with your grandfather’s poisoning. As for why, I do not know.”
Here, Jack paused to glance at the old man lying on the bed. “But I believe that the old master will know. Fortunately, I came today. If I had been two or three days late, it would be impossible to save your grandfather even if the gods themselves came!”
He walked over to the old master’s side. Jack whipped out a wooden box from his pocket and opened it, revealing plenty of silver needles within.
“I know you can hear me, sir. I’ll perform acupuncture on your first then you should be able to speak temporarily. But it’s only for a short while, and you won’t be able to talk much. You’ll have to rest well after that. I’ll write a prescription for your granddaughter in a while. She’ll go pick up the medicine, and you’ll have to use it in your bath. Soak yourself in the solution for half an hour every day. You should be able to fully recover if you continue for a month!”
Jack stuck a needle into the old master’s arm as favonovel.com spoke.
