A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

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!”

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.

that, a person immediately came to William’s mind.
