Female Novel
Chapter 305
The moment James spoke, a young member of the Hills stepped forward and rebuked him. “James,
grandpa’s doing fine and is in good health. How could you say he’s in terrible shape? Are you trying to
jinx him?”
“That’s right!”
“This guy doesn’t know anything about medicine.”
“Get lost.”
Dissatisfied, the rest of the Hills chastised James.
“Who’s the one bullsh*tting?”
A voice came.
A tall and skinny middle-aged man in a white mandarin jacket walked in.
“You’re here, Dr. Lincoln.”
Everyone stood up.
Even Jedidiah stood and greeted the man.
The man’s name was Yitzchak Lincoln. He was a doctor from Cansington who was highly paid by
Cyrus to provide medical treatment to Jedidiah.
It was due to Yitzchak’s medicine that Jedidiah slowly regained his strength over the past few years.
Yitzchak looked at Cyrus and greeted him, “Mr. Cyrus.”
He then turned and greeted Jedidiah, “A good day to you, Mr. Jedidiah.”
Lastly, he fixed his gaze on James with a look of disdain. “All these years, Mr. Jedidiah has been
nourishing his body based on my remedies. Although he’s over eighty years of age, he’s still in good
health. I wouldn’t be surprised if he lives for another twenty years.”
“Exactly, Dr. Lincoln’s a member of the Doctor’s Association in Cansington and was an attending
physician of a large hospital. If not for our connections, we wouldn’t be able to get him here.”
“Dr. Lincoln, I’ve been feeling fatigued for the past few days. If you have time, please take my pulse
and prescribe medication so that I may nourish my body.”
The Hills were currying favor with Yitzchak.
James, on the other hand, glanced at him. “So, you were the one recklessly prescribing medication for
grandpa?”
“What? Recklessly prescribing medication?”
Upon hearing this, Yitzchak’s face darkened, and he barked, “Do you even practice medicine?”
Cyrus, too, wore a surly expression. “Apologize to Dr. Lincoln immediately, James. He’s been in the
profession for twenty years. How could you possibly compare to him?”novelbin
James snorted. “Though he seems to be in good health from the outside, this is unsustainable in the
long run. He’s aging. His organs are gradually deteriorating, and his metabolism rate is decreasing. Yet,
you prescribed him such a strong medication. How could his body possibly withstand that?”
Saying that, he looked at Jedidiah. “Grandpa, try holding your chest and take a deep breath. Then, hold
your breath for a few seconds.”
Jedidiah looked at James and gently nodded. He took a deep breath and held it.
A few seconds later…
“Ah!”
Jedidiah cried. He clutched his chest with a painful expression on his face.
“What?”
The Hills were stunned.
Meanwhile, James continued, “Grandpa’s body has absorbed too many nutrients. This method of
sustaining his life is only temporary. The abundance of nutrients will eventually be a burden on his
organs.”
The Hills were dumbfounded.
Was James truly Asclepius?
James crouched down and applied force on Jedidiah’s knee.
“Ah…”
Jedidiah groaned in pain once more.
James continued, “When he was young, he suffered a gunshot injury to his knee. Although the
operation was a success, there were lingering effects. On rainy days, he suffers excruciating pain even
from a gentle collision.”
“Besides, his blood gas level is extremely high as there are too many nutrients in his body. With the
deterioration of his blood vessels, however, he’s no longer able to withstand it, and his blood vessels
have burst as a result. If I’m not mistaken, he had just undergone an operation to restore his blood
vessels three months ago.
James’ words astonished the Hills.
He even knew of the operation three months ago.
Meanwhile, Cyrus kept calm and looked at Thea with a smile. “Thea, you were the one who told him
about grandpa’s condition, weren’t you? In truth, he knows nothing about medicine. He was just
pretending to take a pulse and telling us information he had known in advance, wasn’t he?”
Hearing his words, everyone was suddenly enlightened.
“Oh, so that’s how it is.”
“I thought it was unbelievable. It turns out that James had known in advance.”
“I told you so. How could he understand grandpa’s condition just by taking his pulse?”
