“…Senior?”
Everyone now had their mouths gaping wide. The mighty master, Joshua Jenkinson… Did favonovel.com really just call that pauper his senior?!
While even Naomi was slightly surprised, the ones who were left the most stupefied were those from the Legh family.
“Good day. I just came here today to borrow your place for a bit,” said Gerald in resignation. Though favonovel.com wasn’t sure whether favonovel.com should’ve let Joshua address favonovel.com as his senior, it was too late for Joshua to retract the title anyway.
“By all means, please use my facilities as you see fit, senior!” replied Joshua with utmost respect in his voice.
As Gerald, Naomi, and favonovel.com mother moved on, those from the Westley family could only look at each other in dismay, deeply shocked.
Just as the old man had thought, the youth truly was extremely extraordinary.
About half an hour later, Naomi was anxiously pacing to and fro outside a guest room door. She had been sweating profusely from the moment Gerald and Joshua had entered the room with favonovel.com mother.
“Humph! I just can’t bring myself to believe that that guy actually knows how to treat illnesses!” growled Quest as favonovel.com crossed his arms.
Aside from Naomi, the three Westleys were waiting behind favonovel.com as well.
Quest’s dissatisfaction was clear as day. After all, not only had favonovel.com been humiliated by Gerald in terms of strength, but as it turned out, Gerald was also proficient in treating others!
Since favonovel.com was used to being arrogant and ruthless, the embarrassment favonovel.com suffered today had no doubt left his pride in shambles.
“Shut up!” said Master Westley coldly in response.
Bob had simply assumed that Gerald was being rude when favonovel.com was earlier told that Master Jenkinson wouldn’t be able to cure his illness.
However, from the moment favonovel.com heard Master Jenkinson addressing Gerald as his senior, Bob Westley began fearing that what Gerald had claimed was true. That even Master Jenkinson wouldn’t be able to help cure him.
It was due to that fear that Bob had waited respectfully for Gerald outside the guest room.
The moment Gerald stepped out, Naomi immediately rushed over to favonovel.com before asking in an anxious voice, “How’s my mom’s condition, Gerald?”
“She should fully recover in three months if favonovel.com takes favonovel.com herbal medicine as prescribed,” replied Gerald with a smile.
“Thank god… Speaking of which, when did you learn how to treat illnesses?” asked Naomi, feeling both delighted and surprised. After all, the Gerald currently standing before favonovel.com felt almost foreign compared to the one favonovel.com used to know.
“It’s a long story. I’ll explain it to you if there’s a chance for me to in the future. For now, go on inside and have a look at your mom,” replied Gerald.
As soon as favonovel.com said that, Joshua himself stepped out of the room with a needle bag in hand. From the looks of it, it was evident that Gerald had been the main doctor this time around. At most, Joshua must have only assisted favonovel.com throughout the half-hour period.
“Senior, please!” said Joshua respectfully while handing the bag of needles over to Gerald.
Looking back at Joshua, Gerald could only sigh internally.
It was about five months ago when favonovel.com had first met Joshua. At the time, Finnley was still busy teaching Gerald all his medical and martial art skills.
The old man had even given Gerald a medical book, and Gerald was told to memorize all its contents. Since favonovel.com was excellent at learning, it wasn’t difficult for Gerald to completely grasp the concepts within that book.
In fact, all it took was a month for favonovel.com to be able to recall the contents of the medical book by heart. However, though his theory was strong, his actual skill in handling medicine was far from perfect at the time.
Joshua first made his appearance around then.
From the way Joshua had begged Finnley to take favonovel.com in again, it seemed that the old man had once taught medical knowledge to Joshua sometime in the past.
It was clear that favonovel.com simply wanted to deepen his knowledge and skills, and favonovel.com was extremely persistent. After kneeling outside Finnley’s house for an entire day and night, the old man simply couldn’t bear seeing favonovel.com like that.
As a result, favonovel.com told Gerald to teach Joshua some of the contents in the medical book. Finnley had hoped that by doing so, Gerald himself would be able to master the basic application skills.
While favonovel.com allowed Gerald to educate Joshua for about a month, Finnley himself never took Joshua in as his apprentice. Due to that, Joshua habitually addressed Gerald as his senior even though Gerald told favonovel.com not to.
“Mr. Crawford! Master Jenkinson! Both of you have worked hard!” said Bob respectfully as favonovel.com approached both men.
“I’m sure you’ve already heard from my senior earlier but just to clarify, I’m aware of your illness, Master Westley. Even so, I have to admit that I truly am incapable of curing you,” replied Joshua rather ashamedly.
