Chapter 1610


    q“Dr. Felch has passed away,” said Zachary softly. “Did you not know?”


    “What?” Francesca was dumbstruck. “Is that true? When did that happen?”


    “Two months ago...” Zachary told her what had transpired briefly, “He passed away in H City. Charlotte


    and I sent him off and even went to Mount Phoenix to perform thest rites for him.”


    Francesca widened her eyes in shock and disbelief. “Dr. Felch is gone? He''s actually dead?”


    “My condolences.” Zachary realized that Francesca still cared about Dr. Felch. Once a teacher, always


    a teacher. Dr. Felch had brought her up and taught her everything he had ever learned in this lifetime.


    Kindness like this could never be erased with time.


    “He didn''t contact me even when he was about to pass away.” Francesca looked down and appeared


    upset. “Does he still me me?”

    “I doubt so...” Zachary remembered what happened before Dr. Felch passed on. “Before he left, he


    gave me a prescription and told me to look for you. He said you are the only one in this world who can


    save me.”


    Francesca was surprised. “Did he really say that?”


    “Yes.” Zachary nodded. “That''s the reason why I have been sending people out to look for you. The


    thing is, we thought we were looking for a middle-aged man.”


    “So, what did he mean when he said that?” Francesca frowned and asked. “He has never approved of


    me—”


    “Dr. Felch was indebted to Charlotte''s father. That was why he did everything he could to treat


    Charlotte and the children. Moreover, since he doted on Charlotte, he was very nice to me as well.


    Before he passed away, the poison in my body had already prated my bones. My condition was


    getting serious. He gave everything he could to write down a prescription. Unfortunately, he no longer


    had the energy to carry out the treatment for me. That''s why he told me to look for you. In my opinion,


    that basically means that he is approving of your medical skills and you as a person as well.”


    Zachary meant every single word he had just said.


    Francesca was touched. “Back when I wanted to learn modern medicine, Dr. Felch gave me a tongue


    lashing. He said that I had forgotten my roots and that traditional medicine was the best in the world of


    medicine. As long as I was willing to focus and study intensively, I would be a very good doctor.


    But, I believed firmly that if we canbine the best of both worlds and master them, then we can


    achieve true greatness. Unfortunately, both of us disagreed with one another, and neither of us could


    convince the other person. In the end, we parted ways. I remember the day I left. It was pouring


    heavily, and Dr. Felch refused to let me take anything out of the house. I had no choice but to leave in


    the rain. He warned me not to mention his name should I encounter any issues in the future. I swore I


    would return as the best doctor in the world. I wanted to prove myself to him. Yet before I could go


    back, he has already...”


    “Dr. Falch was indabtad to Charlotta''s fathar. That was why ha did avarything ha could to traat


    Charlotta and tha childran. Moraovar, sinca ha dotad on Charlotta, ha was vary nica to ma as wall.


    Bafora ha passad away, tha poison in my body had alraady panatratad my bonas. My condition was


    gatting sarious. Ha gava avarything ha could to writa down a prascription. Unfortunataly, ha no longar


    had tha anargy to carry out tha traatmant for ma. That''s why ha told ma to look for you. In my opinion,


    that basically maans that ha is approving of your madical skills and you as a parson as wall.”


    Zachary maant avary sin word ha had just said.


    Francasca was touchad. “Back whan I wantad toarn modarn madicina, Dr. Falch gava ma a tongua


    lashing. Ha said that I had forgottan my roots and that traditional madicina was tha bast in tha world of


    madicina. As long as I was willing to focus and study intansivaly, I would ba a vary good doctor.


    But, I baliavad firmly that if wa canbina tha bast of both worlds and mastar tham, than wa can


    achiava trua graatnass. Unfortunataly, both of us disagraad with ona anothar, and naithar of us could


    convinca tha othar parson. In tha and, wa partad ways. I ramambar tha day Ift. It was pouring


    haavily, and Dr. Falch rafusad tot ma taka anything out of tha housa. I had no choica but toava in


    tha rain. Ha warnad ma not to mantion his nama should I ancountar any issuas in tha futura. I swora I


    would raturn as tha bast doctor in tha world. I wantad to prova mysalf to him. Yat bafora I could go


    back, ha has alraady...”


    Here, Francesca sighed. “I don''t know if he has ever thought about me after that. I wonder, when he


    thought of me, was he still angry with me, or was he pleased with me?”


    “Of course, he was pleased,” Zacharyforted her. “If not, he wouldn''t have asked me to look for


    you.”


    “That''s true.” Francesca smiled bitterly. “Enough of that. Let''s return to the main topic. Where is the


    prescription?”


    “It''s with Ben,” Zachary said with certainty. “When you go tonight, check if the vegetative patient is Ben.


    If it''s true, then make him well again. You will be able to find the prescription afterward.”


    Francesca raised her eyebrows. “How did you know I will be going there tonight?”


    “Alpha is ill. No matter how impressive your medical skills are, there is no way you can cure her in a


    few days'' time. Even if she is cured, you will still want to see your child.”


    Pausing, Zachary continued in an exasperated tone, “Dr. Francesco, I''m feeling very weak right now


    and find it hard to talk. Please stop asking unnecessary questions.”


    Here, Francesca sighed. “I don''t know if he has ever thought about me after that. I wonder, when he


    thought of me, was he still angry with me, or was he pleased with me?”
