Chapter 14 Too Enthusiastic
Emily was stunned. This was the first time she had seen Mr. Hawking so excited. She didn’t know how to respond for a moment. Just as she was in a daze, Mr. Hawking had already gently led her to the lounge. “It’s so hot outside. Come, Ms. Armstrong, let’s go inside where it’s nice and cool!” Emily was stunned. Today, Mr. Hawking seemed to be a little too enthusiastic? What was going on? Looking at the cup of tea he poured her in the lounge, she felt a little flattered. Mr. Hawking had excellent medical skills and was highly respected. He was not an ordinary person. She nodded politely and looked at Mr. Hawking who was still holding her hand tightly. She was a little embarrassed. “I’m here, Mr. Hawking. You… this is?” Realizing that he was a little too excited, Mr. Hawking smiled and let go of her hand. He said a little self-deprecatingly, “Aiya, look at how worked up I am!” Emily smiled and retracted her hand.
She turned around and found that Leona, Young Master Greens, and his assistant were all standing together. She fixed her eyes on Lucas, who was standing in the middle. He looked very energetic. It seemed that her treatment had worked quite well. Of course, she knew that was why he could recover so fast. Looking at the unfathomable expression of Mr. Hawking, she understood in her heart that she seemed to know why Mr. Hawking was acting this way. Sure enough, Mr. Hawking went straight to the point and said: “Ms. Armstrong, you came today. I want to ask you something. I heard from Leona that it was you who performed the acupuncture on Lucas. That’s why he can be so energetic and healthy now. His condition is so serious, his heart and pulse are damaged, and his health is damaged inside and out. If his old illness recurs, he is as good as dead. I want to know, how did you get him to recover so quickly? Also, how did you create the prescription you gave him? I’ve seen the prescription. There is a medicinal herb called ‘Ice Snow Lotus’ in it. This medicinal herb is rarely seen in the market. How did you get it? After knowing you for so long, I can’t believe I only just found out you know medicine too. May I ask you where you learned your skills from?” Mr. Hawking was relentless in his direct questioning. Emily looked a little troubled.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Mr. Hawking did not have any ill intentions in his questioning. Whether it was the ancient medical prescription or her ancient medical techniques, they were all taught to Emily by her master.
Her master had told her before that she should not reveal too much about ancient medicine to outsiders.
She deliberated for a moment and decided to hide it from them. “Actually, I don’t know much about medical skills. I met a master before and learned some things from him. I only know a little.” She revealed almost nothing. Mr. Hawking looked at her curiously. “Then may I ask who your master is?” This was probably asking for her master’s name. She pretended not to understand and avoided the question. “He is just an idle old Chinese medicine doctor. There is nothing special about him. I was just lucky I was able to help today. You don’t have to take it to heart.”
Mason looked at her curiously and did not believe her.
Lucas narrowed his eyes. His pair of calm eyes were as deep as a cold pond, mysterious and unfathomable. It was impossible to see his emotions.
Mr. Hawking smiled. He was experienced and knowledgeable. He naturally knew that there was an expert behind her. She was hiding it from him.
He was not angry and only said, “Ms. Armstrong, you are modest. Do you know? I have studied medicine for a lifetime and treated this kid for a long time. I have never had as great an effect on him as you have today. I know. You don’t want to tell me everything. I don’t blame you. However, there is something I want to ask you. I hope that for the sake of our friendship over these years, you will agree to this.” “Please speak.” Emily glanced at him. Mr. Hawking shifted his gaze to Lucas. “You… Do you have a way to save this kid? He is the son of my friend. If you can save him, you can choose your reward. Just name your price!”
Emily looked at Lucas indifferently.
