Chapter 21: Please Save Me!
"Jacob, hurry up and apologize to Dr. Swift," Fiona said anxiously.
...
Looking at his mother-in-law, who suddenly changed her attitude towards him, Jacob immediately put a
long face. "He is not worthy of my apology!"
On hearing Jacob's words, all people fell into silent once again.
Jacob's previous rude remark that Morris was too noisy could be considered as a careless mistake.
However, the above comment was a blatant disgrace to Morris.
How many people in Riverside City dared to do this?
How many people would do that?
Everyone curried favor with Morris.
"Jacob, I admit that you have some knowledge of medicine. But you show no respect for Dr. Swift, and
even humiliate him. Aren't you being too arrogant?"
Finn scolded.
He was full of ecstasy. 'Jacob, you are as stupid as I image. I cannot wait for you to utter something
ruder. If you offend Morris, you are doomed.'
Jacob looked at Morris as if he was looking at a dead man. He sneered, "A doctor who can't even cure
himself is labeled as a highly skilled doctor. It's laughable."
What?
Morris trembled when he heard this.
He looked startled.
Morris immediately turned around and looked at Jacob, trembling with excitement.
In Finn's eyes, his uncle was angry so that he quivered.
...
Finn hadn't seen such a scene for many years.
He was happier. Then he continued, "Jacob, you are not only disrespectful to the senior, but you also
curse Dr. Swift for being sick. You are despicable."
Since Finn could not establish a positive image for himself, Finn wanted to ruin Jacob's.
If the news spread out, compared with Jacob, Finn wouldn't be so embarrassed.
Hearing Jacob's statement, Kaley fell silent.
In the past, she would think that Jacob was crazy.
But now, somehow, even compared with Morris, who had never failed to save a person in his life, Kaley
was more willing to believe Jacob.
However, Fiona was different. She had been staying in the hospital with Brian. Although she witnessed
how Jacob saved his husband last time, she heard everything else from Hayley, just like listening to a
story. Therefore, she felt that Morris would be more reliable.
"Jacob, telling from Dr. Swift's rosy face, he is strong and healthy. Don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and
apologize to Dr. Swift. It's not too late. If Dr. Swift gets angry and refuses to help, your father-in-law will
lie here like a vegetable for the rest of his life. You don't want this to happen, right?" Fiona whispered.
Although her attitude was much better than before, she still clearly did not believe Jacob. Thus, Jacob
frowned.
However, what happened later shocked everyone.
Morris, who was cursed for being sick, wasn't furious. Instead, he looked quite excited. "Young friend,
can you tell it?"
What Jacob said was correct. Morris was indeed sick.
Morris was sure that no doctor in Riverside City could tell it. After resigning as the director of Riverside
Hospital, he had been through China and seldom practiced medicine. Other people thought that he was
traveling, but only he knew that he was trying to find a way to cure his illness.
But after the trip, few people could tell his illness, let alone to treat him.
Gradually, Morris was thrown into deep despair. In China, there were some people who were more
skilled in medicine than him. However, he had no chance to see them. Those who were willing to
receive him were not necessarily better than him!
Morris failed to find the way to cure himself.
Jacob's arrogant remark had shocked and angered everyone present.
That Morris addressed Jacob young friend astonished all present.
...
What did it mean?
Most importantly, Morris asked Jacob if he could tell it.
Did Morris ask Jacob if Jacob could tell he was sick?
Could it be that Jacob was right that Morris was really sick?
"Your rosy cheeks are just a momentary syndrome just before death. If you don't find the right way to
treat your illness, you will undoubtedly die within a month!"
Jacob sneered.
As soon as Jacob finished, everyone present was shocked once again.
Finn immediately scolded. "Jacob, you bastard. You cursed Dr. Swift for being sick. Now, you even
curse him that he will undoubtedly die in less than a month. What is your motive?"
Other doctors supported Finn, wishing they could kill Jacob. Morris was a legend in the medical field.
Many medical practitioners had blind faith in him.
Morris was such an outstanding doctor who never failed in his attempt to save patients. But Jacob
claimed that Morris would not be able to live for a month.
Even if Morris was sick, he could cure himself.
"Shut up." Morris put on a long face as he said to Finn.
Finn was shocked.
Morris was usually very kind to Finn. Otherwise, Morris would not agree to support Finn so as to
humiliate Jacob.
However, Morris' words were a humiliation for Finn.
Finn wanted to retort, but he didn't have the courage. He had a cold stare at Jacob without saying
anything.
It looked somewhat funny and ridiculous.
"Sir, are you sure?" Morris' voice sounded trembling.
He called Jacob in a different way again, and then he couldn't help but walk towards Jacob.
Morris expected he could live for two to three years, which meant he still had time and a chance.
However, according to Jacob's comment, Morris would definitely die within a month. What should
Morris do? He didn't want to die.
Even though he didn't believe in Jacob's judgement, he pinned all his hope on Jacob, who could tell at
a glance that he was sick.
"Do you feel hot and cold by turns these days? When you are cold, you feel as if your organs are
frozen stiff. When hot, you feel like you're in a furnace. But your body temperature is normal," Jacob
said unhurriedly.
...
Hardly had Jacob finished when Morris' breathing turned quick and uneven.
What Jacob said was completely correct.
"Under the current circumstance, symptom disappears soon, so you can endure. But in the next month,
the situation will become more and more serious. Until a certain moment, your entire body will be
frozen into ice and then melt instantly, turning into a pool of water!"
Hearing this, Morris quivered.
He was a highly skilled doctor, knowing exactly that what Jacob said was the truth.
Morris thought that this kind of situation would happen after two to three years. But Jacob concluded
that it would happen within a month, so Morris couldn't help but be afraid.
Morris immediately bowed to Jacob and said, "Sir, please save me!"
He didn't care about losing face now.
In the past few years, he had been through China so as to find a solution. Few people could tell his
illness, let alone offer suggestions to treat him.
However, Jacob only looked at him and diagnosed his illness. What a miraculous skill!
Jacob was the true highly skilled doctor!
Morris' behavior once again startled all present.
It was unbelievable.
What did they see?
Morris bowed to a brat and begged him for help.
However, Jacob's attitude was incredible.
Everyone was shocked again.
"Have I promised that I would save you?"
Jacob sneered.
He was a devil, not the Buddha who did good deeds.
Furthermore, was the Buddha always good?
"Jacob, who the hell do you think you are?"
Finn could no longer bear Jacob, who was arrogant.
However, before Finn could finish, he had to stop.
To be more specific, he was beat, so he stopped.
...
A slap resounded throughout the ward.
Finn looked at Morris in disbelief. He didn't dare to imagine that his uncle, who usually loved him, would
hit him.
"Do you want me to die?"
Knowing that he could only live for a month, how could Morris be as calm as usual?
After beating Finn, Morris immediately turned around and looked at Jacob. He bowed and said, "Sir,
please save me!" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Morris was afraid that Jacob would refuse again. Thus, he hurriedly continued, "If you are willing to
save me, I will do whatever you ask."
Jacob smiled, "It's not difficult to save your life. But you have to satisfy two requirements!"
"First, from now on, serve me as master."
"Second, Dr. Lee needs to pay a price."
As he spoke, Jacob turned to look at Finn.
