Chapter 220

"What? Couldn't find anything? How is that possible?!" Sean was surprised, "Mr. Reynolds, the individual's access permissions are extremely high.

The voice on the other end delivered the blow, "Indeed, that person's access level is above yours." Sean grumbled angrily. hanging up the phone.

He turned and nearly ran into Xanthe, who was beaming with joy, only making him more irritated. "What's so funny!"

Xanthe struggled to keep her excitement contained. "Couldn't find anything, huh? My job here is done; I'm heading home. Bye!" She spun around and bolted. Sean, left alone in the chilly wind, utterly defeated.

The next morning, as usual, Shakira fed the kittens and tidied up the office, getting ready for the final day of filming. Before the consultations began, there was a knock on her door. "Come in," she said.

"Dr. Lonely Bird," the visitor was Michael, the dean of Haruca Hospital. A hint of surprise flashed in Shakira's eyes. Michael nodded at Shakira, closed the door, and locked it. Seeing this, Shakira raised her brow slightly and said, "Mr. Lee." Michael approached her desk. His expression was serious, with a touch of apprehension, as though he wanted to speak but was unsure.

Shakira replied calmly, "I only signed a three-day contract for the filming." "I know!" Michael said urgently. Under ordinary circumstances, he wouldn't plead with a junior doctor in this way, but he had no choice. "Dr. Lonely Bird, perhaps you're unaware. Although Matthew's reputation is widespread, the number of skilled traditional medicine practitioners left in the country is exceedingly small. Michael sighed helplessly.

"With the advancements in modern medicine over the years, people's trust and understanding of traditional medicine have decreased. You might have noticed during your recent appointments that most of the patients are older.

"The younger generation hardly visits traditional medicine practitioners. Haruca Hospital is one of the top hospitals in Crescentville, and If this is happening even there, imagine what it must be like elsewhere," he said.

Shakira lowered her eyes. What he said echoed what Matthew had lamented during her acupuncture training. Traditional medicine had stagnated, while modern medicine continued to progress.
