When Elder Hou found Alice after playing chess, she was sitting at the dining table and eating.
This scene made his head hurt.
âAlice, the doctor told you not to eat anything!â
âCalm down, Mr. Hou. Itâs just a little bit. Itâs okay.â
âJust a little bit?â Elder Hou felt like he was about to faint. Looking at the large amount of food residue beside Aliceâs dishes, he felt helpless. âYou really canât eat anymore. Dirk, contact the doctor and tell him to wait for us. Weâll send Alice for a check-up later.â
He was responsible for taking care of Alice. He could not watch her get into trouble here. Even if she was going to die, she could not die in China!
âOkayâ¦â
But Alice was still not satisfied. âMr. Hou, the movies didnât lie to me. The food in China is the best Iâve ever eaten.â
Elder Hou twitched the corners of his lips as he thought to himself. It wasnât like she had eaten much to begin with.
Didnât she rely on all sorts of nutrient fluids to sustain her life?
âAlright Alice, we should take our leave.â
âAlright.â
Alice stood up and patted the hem of her skirt. âI forgot to tell you, Mr. Hou, Iâm preparing to go home tomorrow.â
âSo suddenly?â
Elder Hou was surprised. âElder Shen has already agreed to help you ask for the miracle doctorâs opinion. Perhaps heââ
âIâve already met the miracle doctor.â
Alice smiled. The heat in the room made her face slightly red. It was as if she had put on a thick layer of blush, making her look much healthier.
âWhat?!â Elder Hou was shocked. âYouâre saying that the miracle doctor is also attending the banquet? Who is it?â
Dammit! Elder Hou was so angry that he wanted to turn around and confront Elder Shen.
That old fool had so many excuses, but in the end, the miracle doctor was at the banquet. What was the meaning of this? Didnât he know how many people would benefit from this?
âIâm sorry, I donât think the doctor has the intention to reveal her identity, soâ¦â
Alice spread her hands apologetically. âSo, forgive me for not being able to tell you. Dirk, letâs go back.â
She nodded lightly at Elder Hou, and with light steps, she passed through the crowd and quickly left.
At the banquet, everyone watched them leave as they discussed animatedly.
âMiracle doctor?â
âYeah, arenât you a little too ill-informed? I heard that when Elder Shen was in the hospital, the doctors had already given him a notice of critical illness. At this moment, a miracle doctor descended from the sky and forcefully snatched Elder Shen back from the jaws of death!â
âThis rumor is too ridiculous. The doctor descended from the sky?â
âHey, itâs better to believe it than to miss out. Donât you understand? If not, why donât you tell me how Elder Shen is doing? Hmm? Can someone explain his condition to me?â
Seeing that the few of them were about to start arguing, Song Rui held his wine glass and asked casually, âThe girl beside Elder Hou just now wasâ¦?â
âI donât know her, but for Elder Hou to tend to her personally, her identity must be extraordinary.â
âI heard that she also came to beg the miracle doctor.â
âSo that miracle doctor really exists?â Song Rui pondered and joined in the conversation. âI wonder if anyone has seen the doctor. It would be great to befriend such a capable doctor. He can help save lives when necessary!â
âI know, right?â The man who answered glanced at Song Rui. âWho doesnât know this logic? Iâll tell you the truth. Among the people who came to celebrate today, more than half of them wanted to find out the whereabouts of the miracle doctor from Elder Shen. Who doesnât have an elder at home? Thereâs a long queue waiting for the miracle doctor to save!â
âThe doctor is that amazing?â
Zhou Manli was shocked. âCould it be that itâs just a rumor? From your description, he doesnât sound like a miracle doctor, but more like a god.â
