Female NovelNo matter who it was, nobody would dare to offend a doctor.
However, Pierre was different. He felt that he did not need Johann's help with treatment now. Moreover,without the help of Luca, he would find it difficult to stand up normally. He just decided to go for it, andhe did not care anymore.
Johann loosened his clenched fist. If he could, he really wanted to punch him in the face!
However, he could not do that because he was a doctor. No matter how capable a doctor he was, if helaid hands on a patient, his career in A City would be over.
Johann took a deep breath, pulled a chair over, and sat down. As the rage in his eyes dissipated, helooked at Pierre again. This time, his gaze contained a hint of mockery.
"Mr. Pierre, how important do you think your reputation is, anyway?" asked Johann.
Pierre noticed Johann’s tone had changed, and he could not help but wonder if this was some kind ofmagic trick? How could his emotions shift so easily?
"I just want you to ask Luca, that bitch, to perform dry needling on me. Is that such a difficult thing? Shewas able to perform dry needling treatment for your patient before, so why can't she do it for me now?"
"Let me make this clear. Luca helping that patient with dry needling wasn't about preserving my or yourbrother's reputation. It was because she wanted to help your sister-in-law." Johann knew that Pierrehad always harbored ill feelings toward Nina, so he emphasized that she was his sister-in-law.
Pierre's expression turned ugly when he heard Johann emphasize that Luca could not be botheredabout the Mallory family and that Nina was his sister-in-law.
"Jean got into trouble, and your sister-in-law took the heat for it. That's why Luca stepped in to help.Otherwise, do you really think Dr. Craw would have the time to deal with some troublemaker'sproblems?
"She doesn't waste her time on troublemakers or on rich kids like you. Simply put, she's not obligatedto treat you. She's not a hospital doctor, and you can't force her to treat you, got it?
"Mr. Pierre, you're not a kid anymore, so why haven't you grasped such a simple thing? I suggest youwise up, accept the physical therapy I've arranged for you, and aim for the best recovery possible."
After Johann said that, he immediately rose to his feet.
"Answer me one more question," Pierre quickly added when he saw Johann was about to leave.
Johann stopped in his tracks and turned around. The smile in his eyes was already gone.
He could not bring himself to smile at someone like Pierre. He had never seen someone as shamelessas him!
"Yes?" asked Johann. He was wondering how to make Pierre give up.
What he said just now was meant to discourage Pierre, but it inadvertently sparked another plan in hismind.
"If Luca agrees to help me with dry needling, can my leg recover?" asked Pierre.
"As a doctor, I can't answer such hypothetical questions. Even if someone were a genius or a miracledoctor, they wouldn't dare to guarantee they can definitely cure someone.
"All I can say is, with Dr. Craw's help, you should be able to stand up and walk normally. But theremight still be issues when it's windy or rainy,” replied Johann.
Even after a fracture had healed, there might be some residual effects. For instance, the previouslyfractured area might ache during bad weather. However, with good care and if the fracture was notsevere, these effects would be minimal.
"Just hearing that from you is enough!" Pierre's expression darkened. As long as he could stand upand walk normally, he did not care about any residual effects.
He just needed to be a normal person!
After all, the Mallory family did not need a cripple as their heir. It would be hard for people to trust acripple in business partnerships.
He had to become normal.
Johann frowned. When he saw the look on Pierre’s face, he suddenly had a bad feeling. Should he nothave said those words?
However, he could not lie to Pierre and say that Luca's dry needling would not help his leg recover...
"Mr. Pierre, I advise you to give up on that idea and actively cooperate with physical therapy. Whoknows, it might have the same effect?" added Johann. Then, he walked out of the ward.
Pierre clenched his fists. The joints in his fingers made a cracking sound from the force.
He was not the type to accept such a fate!
If Johann said that Luca could help him, then she definitely could!
Pierre refused to resign himself to this fate. His plan became clearer in his mind.
Luca sat in her office and suddenly sneezed.
"Sorry." She sniffed and turned to look at Rhett, feeling a bit embarrassed. Her nose was not evenitchy, so why did she suddenly sneeze?
Fortunately, she was fast enough to react. She turned her head away to avoid further embarrassment.
"It's okay, Dr, Craw. Is the air conditioning in your office too cold?" Rhett asked with concern. "Shall Iadjust it higher for you? Be careful not to catch a cold."
"No need. It's fine like this." Luca rubbed her nose. "Is there anything else? Have you received thematerials sent by the professor at Capital University?"
"Yes, I have. The materials indicate that he has covered up to the fourth section of the fifth chapter inhis lectures, and he also brought the textbooks. He seemed to know that I'd be preparing the lessons,so he gave me two copies of the textbook." Rhett handed one of the textbooks to Luca.
Luca nodded, knowing that these materials were not prepared by the professor at Capital University butby Evan after he communicated with the dean of the university president.
"Could you please work on preparing the teaching materials at home this weekend? Can you havethem ready by Monday?" asked Luca.
"No problem, Dr. Craw." Rhett nodded. He would complete every task assigned by Luca.
If it were not for her appreciation of his talent, he would not have had the opportunity to enter thelaboratory, let alone receive the bonus from the previous research...
Typically, assistants in such projects only received a small portion of the bonus as they mainly didpaperwork.
However, Luca brought him into the laboratory, allowing him to participate in experimental research andlearn things he could not learn at school. At the same time, he was also considered half a researchernow.
Therefore, working overtime like this was no big deal.
"You don't have to prepare the teaching materials too thoroughly. Just outline the general content asI'm not sure how much we'll cover in two classes.
"How about this? you prepare a few more sections of content, and after I teach the students next week,we'll know how much we can cover in one class. Then we'll know how much material to prepare fornext time,” Luca pondered for a moment and added.
"It's okay, Dr. Craw. I have nothing to do this weekend anyway. I'll prepare as much as I can. This way,when things get busy at the company, I won't neglect my work," replied Rhett.novelbin
Luca was very satisfied with his work attitude, but she was not the kind of boss to exploit heremployees. Hence, she said, "Don't just focus on work all the time. Sometimes, you should go on datestoo."
Rhett’s face turned red as he replied in a low voice, "Dr. Craw, I don't have a partner right now, and Idon't want one either. I just want to focus on work."
He knew his own situation. If he did not step up his game, he would be left in the dust.
"I’m not trying to push you or anything. I just think it's important for you to have a life outside of worktoo,” Luca explained with a smile.
"Don't get too caught up in work all the time. Remember to balance work with some leisure too.”
