Bound to the Lord Protector
They wished to head over to Madeleine's Savior Clinic to check on the Divine Doctor they had invited. Zeke and Daniel wished to figure out if he would be capable of treating stroke as mentioned. Susan wished to tag along too, but she had to deliver her speech on stage soon. Hence, she had to stay back. However, she told Zeke she would meet up with him right after she was done because she had to introduce two of her friends to him. Zeke replied indifferently as usual, “Mm.” Susan felt helpless. Why does he treat me in such an indifferent manner? I should be the indifferent one! Why is it the exact opposite way round? Do you seriously consider yourself a man? ... There were many people surrounding Savior Clinic. They had been invited by Madeleine to witness how the Divine Doctor would treat a stroke patient. Apart from that, the doctor was a foreigner. They couldn't wait to find out if he would perform better than a local doctor. George was delighted because he needed as much attention as possible to prove the validity of the news. It would be essential for him to enhance his influence. While George was in the middle of preparation, Daniel and Zeke finally arrived at Madeleine's clinic. They were shocked when they figured out what was going on. The doctor Madeleine had invited was none other than the one who had been defeated by Zeke. Apart from that, the patient on the bed was Daniel's father, Adam. The pale and haggard man on the bed was unconscious. They figured out what was wrong with Adam through the crowd's chatter. The onlookers told them Adam had been diagnosed with ischemic stroke.Daniel's heart wrenched the moment he heard those words. Previously, he thought his father had passed out since he had gotten overly worked up back then. However, he was surprised because it had turned out to be a stroke. If it was really a stroke, Adam had to be rushed over to the hospital immediately. The equipment available in Madeleine's clinic wasn't sufficient to carry out the required operation. In fact, it had been several days since Adam had passed out. It seemed like Madeleine had paid no heed to Adam's health. Daniel rushed over and yelled, “Stop! Stop whatever you're trying to do! Madeleine, you're such a cunning woman!” “Damn it! My dad currently undergoes stroke, yet you've leveraged on him and made use of him as your publicity stunt!” Madeleine tried to stop him and yelled in return, “Hold it right there! You have no rights over my patient!” “Bulls***! He's my father!” replied Daniel. “It's a doctor's role to be responsible for their patient! According to the rules of our industry, I'm his attending physician. He's currently under my care!” “Are you sure you want to get in my way? Others will condemn you if you try to go against the rules of the TCM practitioners! I'll call the cops if you try to do anything reckless again!” Daniel was stupefied by Madeleine's words. She had gotten the better of Daniel as she had leveraged on the rules of the TCM industry. Madeleine went on and mocked Daniel, “Hmph! You're the cunning one! It seems like you're trying to get in my way because you're worried the Divine Doctor I've invited will outmatch you, right?” Emily played along with her mother and said, “Don't worry! Feel free to stay around if you're here to learn! However, I'll chase you guys away if you guys try to do anything silly again!” The onlookers whispered to one another and perceived that Daniel must have had been there because he was afraid Madeleine's clinic would soon outperform his own. Daniel remained silent thereafter. Zeke tried to comfort Daniel. “Dad, don't worry! You have my word! I won't allow anything bad to befall grandpa today.” Daniel replied anxiously, “Forget about it! I'll call the hospital and get them to dispatch an ambulance! If George can't deal with dad's condition, I'll have him sent to the hospital immediately!” Suddenly, Zeke received a call from Susan. He picked up the call reluctantly, feeling irritated. Susan asked in an excited manner, “Mr. Williams, where are you? I've finished delivering my speech! I'll head over and pick you up right now!” Zeke replied, “I'm at Merwin District.” Susan replied with a delightful voice, “Merwin District? What a coincidence! The friends of mine are currently at Merwin District too! I'll get them to pick you up right away!” Susan called Emily right after she hung up the call with Zeke.
