The madwomanâs body trembled when she heard this. She looked at Clarence in disbelief, covering her mouth. âWhat... What did you say?
âMy daughter can still be saved...â
âYes, but what you have to do now is shut up.â Clarence looked at the madwoman coldly.
The madwoman stepped back as she nodded frantically, both terrified and delighted.
.
She looked so pitiful.
Clarence sighed. Every parent was truly admirable.
With everyone watching, Clarence prepared to insert the needles necessary to save the patient.
Belle seemed to suddenly recall something. âClarence, donât touch her. The girlâs heart has stopped beating, but she might be able to be saved if we send her to the hospital.
âIf you touch her and she dies, then this is on you.
âDonât blame Humanity Hall!â
Master Williams was livid. âBelle, do you have no shame?â
âMaster Williams, what are you talking about?â Belleâs expression sank.
Master Williams was furious. âWhen the girl came into Humanity Hall, I said she should go to a big hospital for treatment if she has heart disease.
âHowever, you took a fancy to what the girlâs parents said about paying us one million dollars if we could cure her.
âDidnât you want those one million dollars?
âNow youâre trying to pass the buck. How dare you!â
Belleâs pretty face turned ghastly pale. Almost blacking out from her anger, she pointed at Master Williamsâs nose. âDamn you, Master Williams. How dare you say that when youâve worked for Humanity Hall for more than twenty years?
âYou ungrateful thing. Iâll ask my mom to fire you after this!â
âHmph!â Master Williams snorted coldly. âFire me, then. I donât want to stay in Humanity Hall any longer.â
In the week since Belle and Melody had taken over Humanity Hall, the entire place had become a mess.
Clarence roared, âWill all of you shut up?
âIf you want to quarrel, do it outside!â
He was trying to save a life, yet they were being so noisy and annoying that he could not concentrate.
Master Williams shut up.
Belle snorted coldly, âWhatâs the big deal? Iâll see what happens if you fail.â
Clarence began treatment once it became quieter.
With his X-ray vision activated, Clarence saw through the girlâs insides and discovered that her cardiovascular system was fragile, and her heart was slightly smaller than average.
The muscles of her heart were underdeveloped.
That could easily lead to heart disease.
It could also cause cardiac arrest once triggered or frightened.
However, the girlâs âenergyâ was still there and had not gone out. She had just had a cardiac arrest. It was not a big deal.
Clarence inserted several needles to stabilize the girlâs energy.
Then, he secretly held the girlâs hand as he held the necklace with a cross, repairing her damaged heart in silence.
âMom...â
A weak voice rang out, making the madwoman cry tears of joy. âLuna, youâre awake.â
âReally?â Master Williams was overjoyed.
Belle and Melody paused and curled their lips. âThatâs pure coincidence.â
They would not believe Clarence knew anything about medicine, even if they saw proof with their own eyes.
Their impression of Clarence had already been fixed in placeâhe was a loser and also a loser son-in-law, he had not graduated junior high, and he was uneducated and illiterate.
Would such a guy know medicine?
It had to be a joke!
It was definitely pure coincidence.
The girlâs father stepped forward, looking grateful. âDoctor, Iâm Chip Larson, the girlâs father. Thank you.â
Clarence removed the silver needles from the girl. âItâs no big deal. Just take some of the medicine Iâll prescribe.
âDonât trigger her.
âDonât frighten her.
âProper exercise can help her heart develop, and she should be fine in the future.â
Chip froze. âShe should be fine in the future? What do you mean, Doctor?â
His daughter had a congenital heart condition that delayed the growth of her heart. Her heart was now of a size better suited to a three or four-year-old child.
As the girlâs body grew, her heart simply would not be able to support it.
The hospital had already proclaimed that his daughter would not live past twelve.
His daughter had happened to turn twelve this year.
Clarence explained slowly, âI just fixed her heart.
âAs long as she grows up healthy, her heart should be normal by the time sheâs eighteen.
âSheâll be able to get married, have kids, and not be afraid of having a heart attack again.â
âWhat?â A fiery blaze flashed through Chipâs eyes. âWill she really be alright?â
Clarence nodded, then shook his head. âTheoretically speaking, sheâll be alright.
âIâve repaired your daughterâs heart, but itâs still like a five or six-year-oldâs heart.
âHow can the body of a twelve-year-old bear the heart of a five or six-year-old?
âThus, she needs recuperation. She really will be alright once sheâs eighteen and fully grown.â
Chip clenched his fists in excitement. All he wanted was simpleâto keep his daughter alive.
Clarence had given him a great surprise.
Not only would his daughter grow up healthily until she turned eighteen, but after that, she could also go on to live a normal life?
How could Chip not be excited?
He took a checkbook out of his pocket on the spot and wrote a check for ten million dollars. âHereâs ten million dollars, Doctor. Think of it as my payment to you.
âIâll bring my daughter here for a follow-up every month.
âIf sheâs really alright, there will be a greater reward!â
âTen million dollars!â With her eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets, Belle rushed to grab the check from Chipâs hand and stuff it into her pocket as fast as she could.
âWhat are you doing?â Chip glared at Belle.
Belle threw her head back with a haughty look on her face.
She pointed at Clarence. âDo you know who he is?
âHis name is Clarence Howard, and heâs the son-in-law of the Murphy family. Iâm his oldest sister, and his wife is my third sister.
âClarence has lived off the Murphy family for three years.
âEverything he uses is from the Murphy family.
âHe runs Thirteen Hall, while the Murphy family runs Humanity Hall. In other words, Thirteen Hall is Humanity Hallâs branch.
âIn that case, this money should go to Humanity Hall too.â
Belle spoke matter-of-factly. She had no shame.
Chip frowned. âMr. Howard, this...â
Clarence shook his head. âForget it. Give it to her.â
Clarence turned around to check on Chipâs daughter.
The little girl was timidly nestled in her motherâs arms.
The madwoman from earlier had become quiet now, holding her daughter tightly and not letting anyone touch her.
After making sure his daughter was alright, Chip left with her and his wife. Belle walked over and said with a smile, âMaster Williams, I was wrong just now. Will you come back with me?â
âHmph!â
Master Williams snorted coldly, his face haughty. âYou just called me ungrateful. Didnât you want to fire me?
âDo you think Iâll go back to Humanity Hall?â
Belle nodded grimly, âFine, donât go back, then.
âDonât you regret it later!â
Belle and Melody left in hatred. They gave Clarence and Master Williams a nasty glare before leaving.
An hour later, Belle and Melody returned, bringing Peony with them.
Peony scolded mercilessly, âClarence, how dare you? Are you poaching Master Williams after failing to destroy the Murphy family?â
