    Richard exined hurriedly, “Here’s what happened: I was worried about Cecilia after the car ident, so I brought her home to take care of her.


    “Cecilia has shown no signs of waking up.


    “The doctors have examined her, and there’s nothing wrong with her.


    “All her vital signs are normal, but she won’t wake up.


    “Master Howard, you’re the only one who can save my daughter now. Please help me. I’ll pay you any amount of money!”


    Every parent was admirable.


    Richard was a real estate magnate, but he still treated his only daughter like any other parent would.


    .


    rence consoled Richard as he stopped a taxi. “Mr. Shelby, don’t panic. I’lle over to check her out.”


    “Okay.”


    Richard ced all his hopes on rence.


    Half an hourter, rence arrived at Cecilia’s vi.


    There were three ambnces parked outside. As rence entered the vi, he felt a chill. It was as if he had stepped into an ice cer.


    Generally speaking, it was the summertime now. Even if the vi had turned on its air conditioning, there was no way it would be this cold.


    Several doctors in white coats were talking to Richard in the vi’s hall.


    “You again?”


    At the sight of rence, Greyson jumped up to his feet, looking gloomy.


    rence had ruined things for him thrice at this point.


    The first time was in Mediterranean City Champion Hospital’s conference room. rence had ruined hismendation conference and caused him to lose the honor of the Innovator of the Year award.


    The second time, he discovered that Peony was in suspended animation, and had almost gotten Greyson sued for medical negligence.


    The third time was at a school where Jackson Hayes’ daughter had jumped off a building. rence had saved Ginny, who was supposed to have been dead, damaging Greyson’s reputation.


    It had happened three times in a row, and Greyson hated rence to the core.


    Even the hospital director was beginning to doubt Greyson’s abilities.


    Richard asked in surprise, “Do you know Dr. White?”


    “Haha, we’re more than acquaintances. He has left a strong impression on me.” Greyson put on a false smile. “rence, what are you doing here? Is this a ce for you to be in right now?”


    rence had nothing against Greyson.


    He gave Greyson a faint smile. “Of course. I’m here to treat Cecilia.”


    Greyson looked at rence coldly. “We’ve checked Cecilia’s body. There’s nothing wrong with her.


    “She just can’t wake up. We have state-of-the-art scientific equipment.


    “We’ve even checked Cecilia’s brain waves. There’s nothing unusual.


    “What can you find out?


    “Are you going to perform a ritual dance?”


    Greyson’s voice was hostile and sarcastic.


    rence’s voice was calm. “Just because you can’t find anything doesn’t mean I can’t. You have no skills, yet you don’t allow others to be better than you?”


    “Are you questioning our medical skills?


    “You’ve gone too far, kid!” An elderly man with reading sses jumped up to his feet and red at rence.


    Greyson said with a mocking smile, “Professor Hughes, don’t be upset.


    “It’s just dumb luck. He happened to save a few people and is now pretending to be a miracle doctor.


    His face darkened, and he looked at rence as he scolded him coldly, “rence, do you know who Professor Hughes is? Professor Hughes is a distinguished specialist in surgery and general medicine in Mediterranean City. Even Beth City’s distinguished doctors call Professor Hughes ‘Sir’ when they see him.


    “Do you know how to respect your elders? How dare you speak to Professor Hughes in that tone?


    “One spit from everyone in the medical profession could drown you!”


    “Hmph!” Trevor Hughes snorted coldly and looked at rence indifferently. “Nonsense. You know nothing.”


    rence did not have a good impression of these ‘professors’ and ‘specialists’. They were just fooling others with their title when they did not actually have any skills.


    They were probably not as good as barefoot doctors in the countryside.


    “You’re just bragging here, while you can’t even cure the patient. Does it matter if you’re a professor?” rence sneered.


    Trevor did not take much umbrage. He had encountered many people who were hard-nosed and ipetent like rence was in academic debates over the years. “I just haven’t found out what’s wrong with Ms. Shelby. Once I do, I’ll be able to work with a team of experts to cure the illness.


    “Unlike you, who’s just speaking nonsense here.


    “If you can cure diseases with just one mouth, how can there be so many incurable diseases in the world?”


    Trevor looked haughty.


    rence ignored the stubborn old man. “Mr. Shelby, where’s Cecilia?”


    “In the room.” Richard pointed to the room.


    rence nodded. “I’ll go take a look.”


    “Okay.” Richard was about to lead the way.


    Trevor stepped out and blocked in front of Richard. “Mr. Shelby, are you sure you want him to take a look? What if Ms. Shelby’s condition worsens because of him?


    “My team of experts will soon be able to determine the cause of Ms. Shelby’s unconsciousness.


    “If you let this outsider intervene, I’ll pull out with my team of experts.”


    “Well...” Richard opened his mouth. He was caught in a dilemma.


    If rence could not cure Cecilia, he would have to rely on Trevor’s team.


    Greyson stood in the distance, looking at rence with amusement.


    “How do you know I can’t cure Cecilia?” rence looked at Trevor coldly.


    Trevorughed instantly. “Not to brag, but ny-nine percent of the doctors in this world wouldn’t even know what to do if even I were to be unable to cure it.


    “Maybe someone can cure her.


    “However, that someone won’t be you.”


    Trevor shook his head confidently.


    rence looked at Trevor indifferently. “What if I cure her?”


    “Cure her? Haha.”


    Trevor almostughed his head off. “Since you’re so confident, do you want to make a bet?”


    “A bet?


    “Sure. What bet?” rence looked at Trevor.


    Trevor looked haughty. “If you can’t save Ms. Shelby and wake her up, get your *ss to Mediterranean City Champion Hospital and kneel outside it for three days and three nights!


    “If I lose, I’m at your disposal.”


    “Count me in. If you lose, kneel for five days and five nights!” Greyson stepped out.


    Given a chance like this, he was going to teach rence a lesson and show him who the boss really was.


    “Sure. If you lose, my Thirteen Hall is short-staffed.


    “You’re a little old, but you can fill the prescriptions.” rence nodded slightly.


    “As for you?”


    rence nced at Greyson. “You can clean up, do some odd jobs, and serve the customers.


    “You’re so cocky!”


    Trevor and Greyson almost jumped to their feet.


    Trevor was a renowned medical professor locally and abroad, and he had taught around eight hundred to one thousand medical experts. His students were admitted to Beth City’s medical school every year, and now rence was asking him to fill prescriptions in a crappy clinic?


    Greyson was an overseas returnee who had studied at several prestigious medical schools abroad, and rence was asking him to serve customers?


    He had gone too far!


    It was degrading!


    rence tilted his head. “What’s the matter? Are you scared?”


    “Okay! Okay! Okay!”


    Trevorughed out of anger. “If you can save Ms. Shelby and wake her up today, so what if I fill prescriptions for you?


    “If you fail, I expect you to be on your knees outside Mediterranean City Champion Hospital for five days and five nights!”
