Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 62 Her Mentor Was an Exceptional Doctor

Before they could see the visitors, they heard Max’s voice booming from the foyer, “What happened to Mom?”

Edmund’s frosty voice followed, “Has anyone called the ambulance?”

Arthur, who was a doctor by profession, squatted down to check Margot’s heartbeat and breathing. He hesitated for a moment. “Hmm, it looks like… she is out of danger.”

Elspeth watched as the crowd flocked to the bedroom, and she stood up to announce, “Mrs. Winthrop has stopped her medicine for a while now. It’s likely what caused her cardiac syncope due to her congenital heart disease. But I performed some first aid on her, and she is fine now.”

Arthur’s eagle eyes spotted the needles that were scattered across the floor, and he asked, “What are those?”

She gathered the needles and stuck them back into the storage bag. She whispered, “These are silver needles for acupuncture.”

There was a hint of judgment in his eyes. “You know how to perform acupuncture?”

She scoffed. “That’s right.”

Knowing that it was Elspeth who saved Margot, Max held more respect for her. Curious, his eyes widened. “Miss Elspeth! That’s so cool! Where did you learn your wonderful acupuncture skills?”

She was slightly embarrassed by his compliments. “I learned it from an old doctor when I was abroad.”

Callum’s sharp instinct told him that the old doctor must be an exceptional figure. “What’s his name?”

“Sonny Schwartz,” Elspeth replied.

Those who were not involved in medicine did not react upon hearing Sonny’s name. Arthur, who was usually calm and composed, had a rare outpour of emotions when he heard the name. “Sonny Schwartz? Do you mean the Sonny Schwartz who is known as the greatest doctor of the 21st century?”
