Chapter 224: Reversal
Chapter 224: Reversal
"Snap——" After a crisp sound, Doctor Alden drooped his head and said, "It was my arrogance and ignorance! Miracle Healer, please forgive my youthful folly and accept me as your disciple!"
The assistant beside him twitched the corners of his mouth upon hearing the nearly fifty-year-old Doctor Alden utter the words "youthful folly."
Youthful folly??? More like decrepit old age!
But apart from the assistant, no one else paid attention to the phrase "youthful folly"; their focus was entirely on the words "accept me as your disciple."
Coralie Hughes, furious, walked over directly and grabbed Doctor Alden’s arm, questioning, "Doctor Alden! What do you mean by this? Explain yourself!!"
Taking a disciple?! Why does Summer Monroe need to take on a disciple all of a sudden?!
Could it be that Summer Monroe actually cured Dad?
This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!
"Hurry up and explain yourself!" Coralie Hughes urged, stomping her foot.
Doctor Alden gave Coralie Hughes a deep look, took the report sheet from her hand, and pointed to a string of numbers on it, saying, "The data shows that at the time, Chairman Hughes had a stroke... It’s impossible for sudden stroke patients to recover on their own."
The words left Coralie Hughes with her eyes wide in astonishment.
Her mind filled with exclamation marks: "!!!"
Dad actually! It really was Summer Monroe who cured him!
Evan Hughes, eyes brimming with tears, climbed out of bed and directly knelt in front of Summer Monroe.
"My niece, you saved my life! The entire Hughes Family will be grateful to you from now on!"
As he spoke, Evan Hughes was about to kowtow to Summer Monroe.
Summer Monroe had received quite a few kneelings today, but this was the first kowtow.
She hurriedly supported Evan Hughes, forcibly pulling him up, and said, "Chairman Hughes, you’re too kind! I just know a bit of medicine, saving people is my duty, you don’t need to be so polite."
Coralie Hughes watched as her father actually knelt to the much-detested Summer Monroe, and her face turned green with anger.
She quickly pulled Evan Hughes over and said, "Dad! What are you doing?! She just knew a bit of first aid and happened to save you, it’s what she should do!"
However, at this moment, Doctor Alden looked at the report sheet in his hand and spoke again, "No!"
Everyone instinctively looked toward Doctor Alden.
Could there be a twist in the story?
Coralie Hughes reacted the most, thinking Doctor Alden misread it earlier, she quickly asked, "Doctor Alden, did you make a mistake just now? Isn’t it that Dad just fainted from anger?"
Doctor Alden shook his head and flipped the report sheet over to make it clear for everyone.
He pointed to a string of numbers and said, "These indicators were originally red. Chairman Hughes had cardiovascular disease, an old ailment that I couldn’t cure, and there aren’t many in the industry who can completely treat it. But... look, these indicators have all turned green now."
In simple terms, Summer Monroe cured Evan Hughes’ chronic condition that other doctors in the industry couldn’t treat.
Coralie Hughes’ heart was suddenly stirred by an overwhelming wave of emotion.
The way others looked at Summer Monroe turned even more respectful.
Summer Monroe curing Evan Hughes’ stroke indeed showed extraordinary medical skill.
After all, with timely medical intervention, many stroke patients can be saved, it’s not necessarily a terminal illness; Summer Monroe’s treatment method was just more unique, something they hadn’t seen before.
However, now that the renowned Doctor Alden in the industry had declared that Summer Monroe cured stubborn ailments beyond the reach of many doctors, this further cemented Summer Monroe as a "Miracle Healer," rather than just an ordinary "reputable doctor."
Though there’s only a word difference between ’reputable doctor’ and ’Miracle Healer,’ the reality is worlds apart.
