Chapter 49 The Only Way
Michael forced a smile, "Dr. Smith, you must be joking, right?"
James shook his head, "Absolutely not. And the patient not only needs to be naked, but I also have to touch her body wherever there are snake scales."
"This..." When thinking about his sister's terrible personality, a troublesome complexion appeared on Michael’s face. She had not been in a relationship with any man while growing up, and even he, as her brother, couldn't be close to her. He couldn't imagine his sister's reaction when she heard that she had to be naked in front of a strange man and be touched.
Just thinking about it gave him chills.
"Dr. Smith, is there really no other way?" Michael said with some difficulty.
James shook his head with a bitter smile, "As far as I know, this is the only way."
Michael pondered for a moment and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter, Dr. Smith. I don't know if you can come to my house to take a look?"
"Sure," James nodded.
When they arrived at the Brown family residence, James immediately felt a sense of sadness in the air.
"Dad, look who I brought."
Todd turned around and saw James. His face lit up with joy, and he hurried over to greet him, "Haha, Dr. Smith is here. What a pleasure to meet you."
The other people in the house were also delighted to see James. Ever since James saved Todd with just a few moves last time, they were grateful to James and thought of him as a miracle doctor.
Of course, there were also those who hadn't been present last time. Seeing how young James Smith was and his cheap clothing, they were skeptical.
James smiled, "Congratulations on your recovery."
Todd had regained his health, looking much better than the last time they met.
"Haha, I must thank Dr. Smith for pulling me back from the brink of death last time. Your great kindness deserves my deep gratitude."
As Todd was about to bow to James, James quickly stepped forward to stop him. "Todd, there is no need for you to do that. The success last time was just a coincidence, and it wasn't a big deal."
Todd didn't hide his admiration for James at all, saying, "Dr. Smith, you left in such a hurry last time, and I haven't properly thanked you yet."
James waved his hand, "It was nothing."
"For you, Dr. Smith, it may be nothing, but for me, it's a big deal. Without your generous help, I would have been dead already. Especially since, at that time, my useless descendants were still yelling at you, making me feel guilty and uneasy." Then Todd glared at a few members of the Brown family, "You lot, hurry up and apologize to Dr. Smith!"
Those members of the Brown family immediately came over and bowed to James, sincerely apologizing.
James began to understand why most people in the Brown family had such good characters. With an honest old man like Todd, it would be strange if they were not good people.
Therefore, James also deeply respected Todd from the bottom of his heart. He decided that as long as the Brown family didn't mind his treatment method, he would definitely cure Todd’s daughter.
Suddenly, a sharp scream came from upstairs. "Get out! All of you, get out!!!"
It was a woman's voice, and despite its sharpness, it was clear it belonged to a young woman.
Upon hearing this scream, the faces of the Brown family members changed, showing sad expressions. Todd's eyes turned red, filled with heartache and sorrow.
Upon hearing this scream, James began to take it seriously. Michael's sister's condition was even more serious than he had imagined. Those snake scales were probably spreading all over her body.
If he waited a couple more days, Michael's sister would be beyond saving.
As a doctor, James couldn’t help but share sympathy with the patient. He didn't have the certificate to prove it, but after all, he was a doctor.
"Dr. Smith, I believe Michael has already told you. The one who just screamed is my youngest daughter." Todd seemed to have aged several years in an instant. His previously lively spirit now mostly gone, as he spoke with a sorrowful expression, "Some time ago, my daughter inexplicably contracted a strange illness with snake scales growing on her body. Every midnight, she is in unbearable pain, feeling like she would be better off dead. Seeing this, I..."
At this point, Todd burst into tears and couldn’t hold back his feeling, "Damn it, the Brown family has never done anything to harm others. Why is God punishing us like this?! "
Seeing Todd coughing violently, James hurried over to pat his back gently, infusing a soft force into his body to stop the coughing.
Michael quickly walked over to support his father, "Dad, don't worry, Dr. Smith can cure my sister's strange illness!"
Upon hearing this, Todd trembled with excitement, "Is this true?!"
The other members of the Brown family also gathered around, looking at James with excitement.
James didn't make any absolute promises but said, "If the patient is willing to cooperate with the treatment, it shouldn’t be a problem."
"Hahaha..." Todd immediately burst into tears of joy, laughing heartily, "Thank God, that will be great! Dr. Smith, if you can cure my daughter, I will be endlessly grateful, endlessly grateful!"
James smiled wryly, "Todd, I am quite confident that I can cure your daughter... but my treatment method is a bit unconventional."
Michael quickly explained on the side. After listening, Todd's expression changed, "This..."
The other members of the Brown family also had strange expressions, and some even voiced their doubts, "Could it be that Dr. Smith is taking advantage of our little aunt?"
"That's right, little aunt is as beautiful as a flower, and any man would be attracted to her. This guy must have ulterior motives towards her and using this as an excuse, right?"
"How can you have to undress to treat an illness? Isn't that being lewd? It's not like performing surgery..."
These voices were quiet, but they still reached James's ears. To be honest, James felt a bit uncomfortable after hearing them, not because he was petty. As a doctor, he was unbiased towards gender, viewing only patients in his eyes. He possessed a genuine heart, yet was often misconstrued.
"Todd, if it's inconvenient, then forget it," James said calmly.
Todd immediately glared at the young people who were whispering, then scolding, "What are you chattering about, shut up!"
They were startled by Todd's scolding, trembling all over, too scared to speak again. In the Brown family, Todd's authority was immense.
"Dr. Smith, to be honest, my daughter is still unmarried, a pure young lady... It's not that I don't trust you, Dr. Smith, but my daughter has a strong personality... I wonder if there are any other treatment methods?" Todd said somewhat awkwardly.
James shook his head and said clearly, "This is the only method."
