Clarence shuddered to a halt.
There was a flicker of triumph in Mirandaâs eyes. It looked like Clarence was afraid of leaving the Murphy family after all.
However, Clarence said slowly, âIt doesnât matter if I canât return to the Murphy family house.â
With that said, Clarence strode off!
Boom...
A thunderbolt struck, and the sky suddenly began to rain cats and dogs, almost seeming to represent the mistreatment Clarence had just suffered.
âClarence, you canât leave.
âCome back here!
âAre you going to see Cecilia?â Miranda screamed as she stood at the hotel door.
She wanted to go out and chase Clarence to get to the bottom of things.
However, the sudden downpour made Miranda stop. She did not want to get wet, so she simply watched Clarence walk away in the rain.
Disheartened, Clarence went back to Thirteen Hall to see people renovating inside. âWho are you?â
âYou must be Mr. Howard. Ms. Cecilia asked us to renovate the place.â A middle-aged man quickly came forward, with a kind smile on his face and the unique simplicity that rural workers possessed.
âCecilia?â
A hint of warmth flashed across Clarenceâs disappointed heart.
Soaking wet, Clarence took a bath and called Cecilia to thank her.
âThank you, Cecilia.â
âOh! Thereâs nothing to thank me for. Weâre not strangers, right?â
Cecilia smiled as she shook her head. âEnough of that. Come with me to the Wright family house later. Iâll pick you up at Thirteen Hall.â
âThe Wright family house? Whatâs going on with the Wright family?â Clarence asked casually.
Cecilia explained helplessly, âWasnât there a sudden downpour?
âOld Master Wright got caught in the rain and fell into a coma half an hour later.â
âItâs serious. Many of the doctors who came to Mediterranean City for the famous doctor consultation three days from now are on their way to the Wright family house as we speak.
âWonder Group is under the Wright family. Itâs impossible not to visit when Old Master is in trouble.
âYou promised Leanne that you would treat the Old Master, so you should also come, no matter what!
âEven if you canât help much, at least make one trip to the Wright family house so people wonât have a chance to criticize you.â
Clarence was a little surprised. He had just seen Thompson in the morning, and Thompson had fallen sick in the afternoon?
He had told Thompson this morning not to touch anything cold or raw.
Being caught in the rain was worse than eating anything raw and cold.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If not, the Wright family would not have held the famous doctor consultation three days from now.
Things were not looking good for Thompson.
Half an hour later, Cecilia drove up to Thirteen Hall in the pouring rain.
Without saying much, Clarence got in the car.
At about five o âclock in the evening, the rain stopped, and the pair arrived outside the Wright family house.
As soon as he got out of the car, he heard a surprised voice. âClarence, is that you?â
Clarence looked back and saw Yosef, Shirley, and Samuel.
Shirleyâs face was grim. âWhat are you doing here?â
âAre you going to put on a show at the Wright family house?â
She still remembered what had just happened at the hotel.
Shirley had been slapped several times by Tiger, and her cheeks still burned.
She blamed Clarence for all of it.
Clarence said lightly, âOf course Iâm here to treat Old Master Wright.â
âPfft...â
Shirley chuckled, almost laughing her teeth off. âWho do you think you are? Treating Old Master Wright?
âWho are you to do that?
âAll a loser like you does is brag and hire people to put on a show. You donât know whatâs best for you!
âThis is the Wright family house. Do you think itâs a place anyone can come to?â
Clarence frowned at Shirleyâs taunt.
Cecilia said coldly, âWho are you? Who are you to say that about Clarence?â
âWho are we? Weâre famous doctors from Beth Cityâs Humanity Hall!â Shirley looked proud. âOnly the Wanda family can cure Old Master Wright.â
Samuel looked at Clarence as if he were looking at an idiot. âShirley, why are you talking to him?â
âHeâs a crook, and youâre wasting your life talking to him!â
âYouâre right.â
Shirley nodded, not bothering to look at Clarence again.
After another ten minutes, dozens of people arrived. There were hundreds of traditional and modern doctors there.
There were even Middle Eastern foreigners there.
It seemed that the Wright family had invested a lot of money into this. Otherwise, there would not have been so many people present.
Leanne stepped out of the courtyard, her eyes red. âEveryone, my dadâs inside. Go in one by one.
âWhoever cures my father can ask for money or power!â
âDonât worry. Weâll do our best.â
âOld Master will be alright.â
âHurry up and let us see!â
Everyone spoke at once.
Led by Leanne, Clarence and a group of other doctors entered the courtyard inside.
Inside the rustic courtyard, the Wright family had built a huge and modern sanatorium.
It was furthered with all modern equipment.
Through the transparent glass wall, the crowd could see Thompson lying under a ventilator.
Thompson was pale, breathing using a ventilator, and in dire condition.
Clarence focused and looked at Thompson with his x-ray vision.
The âvital energyâ in Thompsonâs body flickered like a kerosene lamp in the gales, ready to go out at any moment.
The âvital energyâ in the lungs and liver had gone out.
He probably would have had no cure if they only used modern medical techniques on it!
Only by using Thirteen Hellâs Gate Acupuncture and the necklace with a cross would Thompson have a chance of survival.
âLet me have a look first!â
Suddenly, a white-haired old man of about 70 years old spoke up, taking the lead in entering the sanatorium.
With everyone watching, after checking for a few minutes, the old man shook his head and walked out with a sigh.
âIâm sorry, Ms. Wright. Thereâs nothing I can do. Old Master Wrightâs...â The old man did not finish his sentence.
âNext.â
With red eyes, Leanne let out a low cry and interrupted the old man.
The old man withdrew awkwardly.
âIâll try.â
A Middle Eastern foreigner led his team into the sanatorium, carrying several scientific instruments.
Ten minutes later, he also walked out. âIâm sorry, beautiful lady. You can prepare the funeral. Your father...â
âShut up! Next!â
Anger exploded in Leanneâs eyes.
âOh!â
The foreign doctor sighed and quietly stepped aside, not yet leaving.
Several more entered the sanatorium.
Shirley was a little worried and lowered her voice. âDad, are we not going in?â
âWhat if someone cures Old Master Wright...â
Yosef stood there, looking as if the odds were in his favor. âDonât worry. Only we can cure Old Master Wright.â
âLet them check first. The more helpless they get...
âThe more thankful the Wright family will be when we finally cure Old Master Wright!â
Sure enough, none of the dozens of doctors were able to cure Old Master Wright. They just asked the Wright family to prepare for his funeral.
Leanneâs heart sank again and again, almost to complete despair.
Yosef thought the time was now right. With his hands on his back, he walked into the center of the crowd, looking like a wise man.. âI can cure Old Master Wright.â
