“Tong Pei, you should know our requirements for our family partners.” Jack’s voice sounded as if he had been soaked in cold water.
His injury was a secret. Everyone knew that he was paralyzed because of an accident, but the inside story of the accident and the true cause of his injury were all a secret.
As a business partner of the Orsolas, Tong Pei knew about Jacks true injury.
Neither had Guo Miao read Jack’s diagnosis, nor had she come into close contact with him. How could she have accurately described Jack’s symptoms?
“I didn’t tell this doctor about your injury,” Tong Pei said.
“What?” Jack frowned.
Tong Pei looked at Jack and smiled. “This doctor can tell your condition just by looking at your symptoms.”
Catherine looked at Guo Miao in surprise. “She is right…”
Catherine was about to speak when Jack interrupted her.
“Tong Pei, 1 don’t know what’s so amazing about this doctor, but most of the Chinese medicine doctors I’ve met before are all practitioners. These practitioners are just swindlers. I don’t think they have the ability to do so.”
Jack’s body was already trembling.
Guo Miao looked at him shivering on the sofa. His body was tied to the sofa by a rope, and he had been bent into that sitting position.
Jack had always paid attention to his image. Even if he was paralyzed in bed, he had to dress decently and come here to see them.
“Jack, you don’t have to force yourself. 1 asked this doctor to come because I hope that you can get better as soon as possible. 1 think Catherine hopes for the same,” Tong Pei said.
Jack was a very strong person. After being injured, he could not return to his post or manage the family affairs. These were all torture to him.
“Although this doctor is young, she seems to have saved many of our friends. Perhaps we can trust her.” Catherine looked at her husband with tears in her eyes.
Looking at the woman he loved crying in front of him, Jack closed his eyes.
In the past two years, he had used a lot of willpower to hold on so that Catherine would not be bullied by the family because of his departure.
“Catherine…” Jack said.
“Mr. Jack, now is not the time to be emotional. If possible, 1 hope to treat you today,” Guo Miao interrupted the warmth between the two.
“1 studied under a famous doctor called the Immortal Crane. 1 wonder if you know him,” Guo Miao said.
Hearing the name, Jack’s eyes widened in surprise.
This Immortal Crane was not an ordinary person, but a very famous doctor. It was said that her surname was Lin.
Many years ago, the mayor of Fog City contracted a rare disease, and it was this famous doctor named Crane who cured him.
Jack had also sought help from traditional Chinese medicine before.
However, it was not easy to find a Chinese medicine practitioner like Crane. Moreover, there were many swindlers in a place like Fog City.
Looking at Guo Miao, Jack finally nodded.
Catherine and Tong Pei both heaved a sigh of relief.
Catherine walked to Jack’s side and untied the bandage on his body. Jack’s body collapsed in an instant, and he looked like a mollusk without bones.
Guo Miao frowned and looked at Jack’s fingers and arms. For some reason, those places were severely shriveled like walnuts.
If it was just a broken spine, how could this happen? This matter should not be as simple as paralysis.
A few servants came up and carried Jack back to his room on a stretcher.
Guo Miao and Tong Pei followed Catherine into the room.
There was a strong smell of medicine in Jack’s room, as well as the smell of something rotting.
Once paralyzed, bedsores would easily appear if he was not treated properly. Even the most meticulous care could not completely cure his body.
A high-spirited film director had been turned into a real cripple by this sudden accident.
Seeing Jack lying in bed in pain, Guo Miao’s heart was touched.
“Dr. Guo Miao, you can start the treatment now,” Catherine walked to Guo Miao’s side and said worriedly..
