Richard explained hurriedly, “Here’s what happened: I was worried about Cecilia after the car accident, 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.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“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.

.

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

“Okay.”

Richard placed all his hopes on Clarence.

Half an hour later, Clarence arrived at Cecilia’s villa.

There were three ambulances parked outside. As Clarence entered the villa, he felt a chill. It was as if he had stepped into an ice cellar.

Generally speaking, it was the summertime now. Even if the villa 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 villa’s hall.

“You again?”

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

Clarence had ruined things for him thrice at this point.

The first time was in Mediterranean City Champion Hospital’s conference room. Clarence had ruined his commendation 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. Clarence 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 Clarence 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. “Clarence, what are you doing here? Is this a place for you to be in right now?”

Clarence had nothing against Greyson.

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

Greyson looked at Clarence 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.

Clarence’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 glasses jumped up to his feet and glared at Clarence.

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 Clarence as he scolded him coldly, “Clarence, 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 Clarence indifferently. “Nonsense. You know nothing.”

Clarence 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?” Clarence sneered.

Trevor did not take much umbrage. He had encountered many people who were hard-nosed and incompetent like Clarence 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.

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

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

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

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

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

Trevor laughed instantly. “Not to brag, but ninety-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.

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

“Cure her? Haha.”

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

“A bet?

“Sure. What bet?” Clarence 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 Clarence 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.” Clarence nodded slightly.

“As for you?”

Clarence glanced 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 Clarence 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 Clarence was asking him to serve customers?

He had gone too far!

It was degrading!

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

“Okay! Okay! Okay!”

Trevor laughed 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!”
