Chapter 390 The Fool


    “Alright, Caylie. Wait for me. I’ll be there shortly.”


    After Emrys finished speaking loudly, he quickly arrived at Apricot Hall.


    “Quick! The patient has already started convulsing all over. The situation is extremely serious, Caylie


    anxiously said. However, upon ncing at Emrys, she noticed his calm demeanor. Unable to contain


    herself, she rushed over, grabbed his arm, and hurried toward the acupuncture room.


    Emrys arrived at the acupuncture room, pretending to conduct a thorough examination. With a serious


    expression, he said, “The patient’s condition is extremelyplex. Ordinary treatment methods have


    proven ineffective. It requires my application of a unique acupuncture technique.”


    “Well, hurry up and proceed then!” urged Caylie.


    Emrys replied. “The acupoints corresponding to this unique acupuncture technique are quite specific.


    Caylie, it’s not suitable for you to stay here. Let Mr. Rodrigueze in and assist me!”


    Immediately, Caylie responded, “Oh, I see. I understand now.”


    Obediently, she left the acupuncture room and called Duncan in.


    As soon as Duncan entered, he lightly tapped the patient’s forehead and said. “Enough, enough, stop


    pretending. Your performance today is quite impressive.”


    “Hehe!”


    Just moments ago, the patient who had been convulsing non–stop suddenly transformed. With a


    cheerful smile, he climbed out of the sick bed.


    Duncan introduced, “Master Lund, this is my great–grandson, Josiah Rodriguez”


    Emrys nodded with a smile, then gave Duncan a meaningful look and said, “Old man, I didn’t expect


    you to be quite skilled. You must have caused quite a stir among the youngdies in your youth, didn’t


    you?”


    “No, no, don’t say such things, Master Lund, Duncan said, waving his hand and blushing.


    “You all…”


    Just as the three were enjoying their conversation, Caylie suddenly pushed the door open and walked


    in. Upon seeing the scene before her, she was momentarily taken aback.


    She had just taken a moment outside to carefully consider things.


    As a doctor, she believed that there should be no distinction between male and female patients.


    Therefore, even if the acupuncture points required by the male patient inside were somewhat unusual,


    she should face it head–on..


    Driven by curiosity, Caylie found the patient’s condition extremely peculiar. She was eager to see how


    Emrys would treat him. Therefore, she decided to go in and observe.


    This would greatly enhance her own needlework skills.


    However, when she pushed the door open and looked inside, the three of them were seen chatting and


    laughing.


    Furthermore, the patient in question had not been pricked by a single needle.


    How could Caylie not have realized after seeing that scene? The three of them had staged a


    performance to deceive her.


    “Mr. Rodriguez, even you joined in with that scoundrel Emrys‘ nonsense. It’s truly outrageous!”


    Caylie became even angrier.


    The three individuals inside the acupuncture room exchanged nces.


    Great, this act has been for nothing.


    Duncan said with a pained expression. I suspect Ms. White holds a grudge against me as well. Master


    Lund, I believe you’ll have to resolve this matter yourself. After all, I’m helpless in this situation.”


    Emrys could only respond with a bitter smile.


    When he entered the hall, Caylie was sitting at the consultation desk, seething with anger.


    Emrys cautiously approached, offering an apologetic smile as he said, “Hehe, Caylie. please don’t be


    angry with me. I had already told him that this n wouldn’t work. I was truly reluctant to deceive you.


    but that old man insisted on dragging me into this charade.”


    Duncan, who had just stepped out of the acupuncture room, nearly stumbled upon hearing these


    words.


    Damn it.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    I ended up being the scapegoat.


    However, he was indeed the one who came up with this idea, and upon reflection, he truly didn’t know


    how to refute it.


    Even if the idea wasn’t his own, whatever Emrys said was taken as truth, and Duncan would definitely


    not expose him. After all, who could challenge Emrys, the teacher?


    Hutfily. Caylie eximed, “Hmph, Emrys, you really are something. You’ve deceived me once again,


    treating me like a fool. The worst part is that I actually believed you. It seems I truly am a fool.”


    “Please don’t say that, Caylie. It’s my fault.”


    “No, no, no, you did the right thing. You made me realize something. I’m not the brightest person. I’ve


    gotten this far in life purely by good luck.”
