Alex was a little surprised.
He didnât expect the person who came to be Andrew, the brain specialist who worked in California. He
suddenly recalled that Grace mentioned a Swiss brain specialist that she had invited. Was it him?
âAre you here to treat Wayne Larsen?â Alex asked.
âOh, yes. But, the person who ordered me to come here was actually my teacher, and Iâm just tagging
along.â
Andrew immediately pointed to a female foreigner who was about his age standing behind him. Then,
he said to Alex, âAh, if we knew that you were here, Master, we wouldnât have needed to come at all.â
Having said that, Andrew enthusiastically introduced Alex to his teacher.
The female foreignerâs name was Julia, and her appearance was different than what everyone would
expect of a typical female foreigner. She was not tall, only about 1.65 meters. She was quite old and
wore glasses, and she was dressed finely.
âHello, my name is Alex Rockefeller.â
Out of respect for the elder, Alex took the initiative to greet and introduce himself first and even
extended his hand.
Julia was obviously also very interested in Alex, and grasped his outstretched hand, smiled, and said in
German, âSo, youâre Andrewâs master in America. Youâre very young and handsome. I came to
America this time because I also hoped to meet you. Andrew is a stubborn old man. For you to be able
to get him to worship you as his teacher proves that youâre a competent young man. Iâve also heard a
lot about the miracles youâve performed, and Iâm very curious about you!â
She said a lot in German and had the standard Swiss accent, and she also spoke fast.
Phoebe, who stood to the side, could only catch and understand half of it, and the other half was
entirely based on guesswork.
She turned to look at Alex with great interest, wondering if he understood it all. Her own German was
already at level 8, as she often traveled abroad or participated in academic discussions. Now, she
could only understand half of what was said. Then, what about Alex?
In the end, she saw Alex smile faintly and also replied to the old lady in German, âActually, Iâm not
Andrewâs master. This guy is just blindly yelling it out, but I did indeed cure his pancreatitis! Miss Julia,
welcome to America. If you have time, we can meet up another time and have a good exchange!â
Alex held Juliaâs hand without letting go from the beginning. In fact, the grip he had on her hand
became tighter, and he even rubbed it a few times.
This action seemed a bit too rude and perverted.
She was an old lady over fifty years old, and even her hair was gray, and one still had the intention to
take advantage of her? How disgusting!
This entire scene unfolded before Phoebe. Her face twisted ugly and fiercely, and her good impression
of Alex deteriorated in that instant, and deep inside her heart was a faint pain.
âAs*hole, what a hopeless b*stard!â
âSuch a beautiful woman like me standing next to him, he decides to assault an old lady indecently
instead! How shameless!â
Phoebe studied Julia carefully.
In all honesty, this old lady was elegant, and she had unique features. It was basically impossible to
see this kind of elegant old lady in America. You could tell that when Julia was younger, she was a
peerless beauty who shocked countless people and turned heads wherever she went. However, time
wasnât a forgiving master, and no matter how beautiful a woman was, age will definitely take it away
one day.
However, was Alex really taking advantage of an old lady because of this?
Obviously, that wasnât it.
Instead, Alex had discovered a secret of the old lady. Juliaâs eyes flashed, and she looked up at Alex.
They met gazes for a whole ten seconds before she smiled softly and said one sentence, âItâs a great
honor!â
***
The conversation ended thus.
Andrew made a big show of asking Alex if he wanted to head to a bar for drinks together later at night.
He hadnât seen Alex for a while, so he had missed him very much.
Alex waved his hand. âNext time, Iâm tired today!â
Then, he mentioned separately, âThe situation with Wayne, you donât have to trouble yourself about it.
He should wake up tomorrow.â
Having said that, he took the initiative and walked out of the ward.
