Chapter 597: I Kowtow to You
At this moment, the patient from bed number two had just finished his IV drip.
Knowing that there was a meeting with a legendary doctor happening in the lobby, he impatiently rushed over, pressing on the needle hole.
"Honey, slow down. You just had an esophagectomy..." the patient's wife, filled with concern, ran after him.
Ivy casually glanced at the couple and said to everyone, "I forgot to tell you all, the true Qi in my body is something I've painstakingly cultivated myself. It is limited every day. Helping patients get rid of viruses means I lose my true Qi in the process. That's why I can only come to the hospital once a week and can only treat three patients at a time. I've already treated two patients just now, so there's one more opportunity left.
If anyone wants this chance, they'll have to wait for a week and make an appointment in advance. Without an appointment, there won't be any slots available. Even if you try to bribe me with money, it won't work because my husband is the wealthiest man in ancient Europe, and I don't need money."
There was an uproar from the audience.
"Pfft, the wealthiest man in ancient Europe? The lies are getting more and more ridiculous..."
"Yeah, the richest man is busy making money every day, and his wife is busy counting money. When would they have time to come to our small town to treat patients and save lives?"
"It's obviously a scam..."
Anthony, the mayor, the vice mayor, and the others felt incredibly angry upon hearing these words.
Why was there absolutely no trust between people anymore?
Everyone always assumed others were scammers without any evidence!
The patient from bed number two suddenly knelt down in front of Ivy, wanting to say: "Divine doctor, I believe in you. Please treat me!" However, he had just undergone surgery on his throat and couldn't speak casually. He pointed at his throat and then kowtowed with great effort.
This kowtow was not without consequences. As his surgically removed esophagus seemed to have burst open at the incision, he fell to the ground in pain.
At this point, Ivy couldn't just ignore him.
However, when she saw the wife of the patient from bed number two, she felt a surge of anger.
Intentionally turning her face away, she pretended not to see the person on the ground. After all, she had the Magic Pearl with her. Even if this person died and stopped breathing, even if they were reduced to just bones, she could still revive them and restore their health.
"Honey, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" The patient's wife panicked.
Upon seeing Ivy's indifference, she made up her mind. In front of everyone, she slapped herself hard.
Then, she knelt down in front of Ivy and cried, "Dr. Foster, please save my husband. I will kowtow to you. I will kowtow a hundred times, I promise not to miss any, please save him quickly, please!"
"Dong...1, dong...2, dong...3, dong...4, dong...5..."
Indeed, the patient's wife started kowtowing, counting as she did so. It appeared that she truly intended to kowtow a hundred times.
To err is human, to forgive divine!
She really kowtowed, so what more could Ivy quibble about?
However, no matter how cruel Ivy was in her heart, she couldn't bear to make this woman actually kowtow a hundred times.
She was still so young, and she couldn't endure such hardship!
"Enough, enough, no need to kowtow. I will treat your husband!"
"Really?" The woman had just kowtowed five times, but upon hearing Ivy's words, she immediately stopped.
But when she saw Bluey and...
Florence's warning face continued, immediately continuing to knock, "Thud...6, thud...7, thud...8..."
Since this woman insisted on knocking her head, Ivy also didn't care much anymore.
Squatting down, using the energy from the Magic Pearl, she diligently treated the patient on the second bed.
After a few seconds, the patient on the second bed woke up and was incredibly healthy.
Sitting up, he coughed and felt that his throat wasn't uncomfortable at all. Incredibly, he said, "I'm better? I'm really better, I can speak!"
Happily getting up, he bounced and jumped around the scene, purposely raising his fist and hitting his chest twice.
"It doesn't hurt! Haha, it doesn't hurt at all! Darling, I'm better, I'm completely healed, I have no more illnesses, I'm so hungry, I really want to eat. Darling, I want to eat!"
