Chapter 116 The Paraplegic Superstar

Genevieve quickly replied. “Mrs. Massena, Dr. Barrett is very skilled in medicine despite his young age. He’s the doctor who cured my grandfather.”

The middle–aged woman still looked skeptical, though. Opening the door all the way, she said, “Alright When come in.”

The room was a suite where a man over two meters tall was sitting on the sofa in the living room. His foot was put up and wrapped in bandages, whereas his face had restlessness written all over it.

The middle–aged woman whispered. “Oakley, Miss Welby’s here, and she’s brought a doctor with her.”

Oakley didn’t look the slightest bit delighted. He had countless doctors treating him these days, but none of them could help him recover quickly without affecting his future basketball performance. He was already thoroughly disappointed with these doctors. Inwardly, he was filled with disgust and hatred, thinking that these doctors were all quacks. Glancing up at Genevieve, he said, “Sorry for troubling you, Genevieve.

Genevieve said, “Don’t worry, Oakley. Dr. Barrett is very skilled in medicine, so he’ll surely find a way to

treat you.

William had been studying Oakley’s foot since the moment he came in. With his x–ray vision, he noticed that the man was suffering from not only a torn ligament but also a fractured toe and muscle injuries. Even though these weren’t serious issues, they would absolutely affect his future career. And besides, it would take at least two to three months before he could return to the basketball court. “I can cure your injuries within a week,” he said suddenly, “and your future performance won’t be affected.”

Oakley’s heart skipped a beat at his words. I can be cured?

However, the middle–aged woman suddenly fixed her eyes on William, asking, “How do you know you o cure him without even examining his injuries? You’re a fraud indeed!”

can

Hearing the woman’s words, William finally lost his temper. He said, “Had Miss Welby not told me about. your case, I wouldn’t have come here. With that, he turned around and left.

Startled, Genevieve hurriedly ran out after him. She whispered to him, “Sorry, Mr. Barrett. I didn’t expect this to happen.”

“It’s okay,” William replied flatly. “Trust is essential between doctors and patients. If it’s not meant to be, we shouldn’t force the issue.”

Genevieve hesitated for a moment. Then, she said, “Mr. Barrett, I’d like to ask you for a favor.”

William stopped to look at her. He replied, “Please don’t say that, Miss Welby. Just tell me about it.”

Genevieve explained, “Actually, there’s another person in the hotel who needs your help. Just a year ago, she was still a popular A–list actress in Igneus who once made a name for herself in international cinema. The last film she made last year grossed almost one billion at the global box office, earning almost 300 million for the film studio.

As soon as she said that, a person immediately came to William’s mind. It was Sherika Cabello, the gorgeous and bold female celebrity.

Chapter 116 The Paraplegic Superstar

quickly became famous on the internet after participating in a competition. Immediately, Celestial. Brilliance Co., a film studio, signed her and produced her first film, ‘Miss Assassin,’ exclusively for her. The film went viral on the internet upon its release, easily grossing more than 150 million at the national box

office.

From then on, Sherika embarked on a career in film and television, becoming an A–list actress with a huge fan following. Unfortunately, she had an accident while filming a dangerous car chase sequence last year, which injured her lumbar spine and caused her to lose feeling from the waist downL

Her fans were heartbroken at the fall of the superstar. However, not even modern medicine could cure Sherika. It could only help her regain some feeling so that she could walk with a stick with some difficulty.

“Are you talking about Sherika Cabello?” asked William.

Genevieve nodded. “Mr. Barrett, can her injuries be cured?”

William was once very fond of Sherika back in prison. He said, “Can you take me to see her?”

On the second floor of the hotel, Genevieve opened the door to a room, where a woman was sitting in her wheelchair and staring out the window with her back to them. Hearing their movements, she said, “Genevieve, I’d like to go out and enjoy the scenery.” She turned around by turning the wheels of her wheelchair with both hands. She still looked gorgeous as ever, though the slight pallor of her face made her look very different from her image on–screen. Seeing William, she asked with a smile, “Genevieve, who is this handsome guy?”

Genevieve immediately said, “Sherika, this is Dr. Barrett.”

Sherika extended her hand to William. “Hi, nice to meet you.”

William came over and bent down to shake hands with her. He said, “Tm William Barrett, and I like your films very much.”

Sherika asked with a smile, “Don’t you like me?”

William replied, “I like you even more, of course.”

Genevieve took a deep breath. “Mr. Barrett, can Sherika’s injuries be treated?”

Sherika’s heart skipped a beat at Genevieve’s words because she noticed how serious Genevieve sounded. Could this guy have extraordinary skills in medicine?

William didn’t answer the question, though. Pulling a chair over, he sat across from Sherika so that their eyes were level. “I was still in prison over a year ago, at which time almost every inmate had your posters put up above their beds. You were their dream lover,” he said.

Sherika replied with a smile, “Is that so? Thank you for liking me.”

William said, “You must’ve suffered a lot since your injury.”

Genevieve heaved a soft sigh. “Sherika tried to kill herself thrice. She can’t accept the way she is now.”

Sherika’s pretty face was still smiling, but the outsiders couldn’t see the pain and anguish behind her smile.

William looked at her. Stressing each word, he said, “Sherika, I can heal your injuries.”

Chapter 116 The Paraplegic Superstar

A dead silence descended upon the room. Sherika looked at William in astonishment; to her surprise, she felt trust for this guy, whom she had never met before. “Can I stand up again?” she asked, her voice. trembling slightly.

William nodded. “Not only can you stand up again, but you’ll also be able to jump, run, and do all kinds of cool stunts as you did before your injuries.”

Genevieve’s eyes lit up. “Mr. Barrett, can her injuries really be cured?”

William nodded. “I never say things that I’m not sure of,”

Sherika asked in a daze, “A–Are you really not lying to me?”

Genevieve replied with a smile. “If Mr. Barrett says he can cure you, he’ll certainly be able to do so!”

Sherika suddenly burst into tears. She had suffered the most devastating blow ever over the past year. After her injuries, her family and friends turned their backs on her; she was abandoned by her agency and sued for compensation by the brands she used to endorse… All of this drove her to despair. At this very moment, hearing that William could cure her, she finally covered her face with her hands and cried, unable to pretend anymore.

Genevieve hugged her gently, saying, “Everything will be over, Sherika!”

William explained, “The treatment procedure will be long. It’ll take about a month, and the therapy will cost 150,000 per session.”

Genevieve replied with a smile, “That’s fine. Money isn’t an issue as long as Sherika can be cured.”

William nodded. “This place isn’t good for therapy, so rent a house with a yard attached.”

“Alright, I’ll get it done right away!” Genevieve promised at once.

William said, “I’ll be there when you’re ready.” With that, he stepped out of the room. After Genevieve walked him downstairs, he asked, “Are you friends with Sherika?”

“Yeah, but she’s not one of my company’s artists,” Genevieve replied.

William looked at her. “Will she sign up with your company once I’ve cured her?”

Genevieve replied with a smile, “Yes, she will. If she can join Oceania Media, its share price will at least double.”

William’s heart skipped a beat; Genevieve’s inadvertent remark caused a thought to cross his mind.
