A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 20 The Woman Upstairs

A hint of surprise and panic flashed across the middle–aged man, and he pushed the door open, shouting “Dad, you’re awake!”

Ezekiel was talking to Genevieve when the man barged in, and the elder said plainly, I’m fine, Abraham. Let us speak in private, please.”

Abraham Ford was taken aback. Never one to challenge his father’s authority, he exited the emergency room at once. That said, the man was grim.

When he saw William still standing outside, he forced a smile and said, “I’m sorry, Dr. Barrett. I was wrong about you.”

“It’s cool. I won’t mind as long as you pay a little extra,” William monotoned.

Abraham seemed to be on edge as he made a call far away very quickly.

Five minutes later. Genevieve came out and thanked the miracle doctor from the bottom of her heart, saying. “We’re forever in your debt, Mr. Barrett. Does my grandfather still need to stay in the hospital?”

“It’s best that he does, advised William. “Find a ward with a nicer environment. I’ll treat him for the next few days.

“Okay, I’ll see to it right away.” She beckoned her subordinate at that, instructing them to find a ward and also telling them to inform the doctor about the situation.

When the doctor hurried over, he was gobsmacked that the patient was fully conscious and that his readings had returned to normal.

William didn’t have the patience to explain to the doctor, so he followed Ezekiel to the ward and immediately scribbled down a prescription and handed it to the Ford–Welbys.

The medicine used this time was rarer and more expensive, and one of them was a century–old wild ginseng. But for the deep–pocketed Fords, this was not an issue at all; they got everything in less than an hour, and Genevieve went to prepare the medicine herself.

The sun had gone down at this point, and William continued with Ezekiel’s acupuncture treatment while also nursing the elder’s body to health using Qi. Sometime after 10.00PM, Ezekiel recovered mostly after taking his second batch of medicine. In fact, he could sit and chat now.

“Ginny, write a check for 150,000 Talons to Mr. Barrett,” instructed the elder. “Please accept our token of appreciation, Mr. Barrett. I will give you proper thanks once I’m done dealing with the matters at hand.”

There was nothing wrong with a doctor accepting money from the patient he treated, and William didn’t stand on ceremony as he accepted the check right away. “Rest well tonight. I’ll come back again tomorrow.”

At that, Genevieve saw William to the door and instructed the chauffeur to send the doctor straight to Wyvern Hotel..

After returning to his room, William made a call home to say that he won’t be returning home for the night. Melisenna’s cancer cells had been suppressed after two days of treatment. Plus, her condition didn’t require daily treatment, and she’d be fine even if William performed acupuncture on her every other day.
