Chapter 196


    Helen was already eighty this year, and apart from having a failing heart, she was pretty much in the


    pink.Now knowing that Kingsley could treat her cardiac disease, she couldn’t care less about seniority


    or whatnot anymore and kneeled before Kingsley on the spot.Kingsley, however, took a in nce at


    her and said, “I can treat your heart condition, no problem. But, we’ll see after Matt has


    awoken.”Megan, who stood aside, hurriedly spoke up. “Kingsley’s right, Mom. Matt has to apologize for


    being disrespectful to Kingsley!”“That’s right! Kingsley’s the Larson Family’s dear son-inw!” bellowed


    Michael as he puffed his chest and raised his chin. “Matt has acted cocky for too long. It’s time he paid


    the price for it!”Helen thought they were right and hurriedly promised Kingsley, “Dr. Nicholson, I’ll


    definitely give my b*stard of a son a good beating after he wakes up and see that he begs for your


    forgiveness.”To that, Kingsley nodded inly, then turned to Joshua. “Mr. Johnson, you’re still rather


    weak. So you have to continue recuperating in the hospital.”“Got it, Mr. Nicholson. I’m already grateful


    that you saved me. You don’t have to bother yourself with an old man like me anymore…” Joshua


    thanked him from the bottom of his heart.Seeing so, Jeffred very astutely promised, “Yes, rest assured,


    Mr. Nicholson. I’ll definitely see that our staff take good care of Mr. Johnson!”He had already believed


    Kingsley was Ares, the God of War, who was traveling incognito. He wouldn’t dare snub Kingsley


    now.After making sure everything was settled, Kingsley finally turned to Alice. “C’mon, sis, let’s go see


    Reene lest she worries.”S-Sis?!Kingsley’s address to Alice rendered Jeffred jaw-dropped.Alice Kramer


    is Mr. Nicholson’s sister?!I, Jeffred Church, fired the God of War’s sister?!And worst, even let Zayne


    commandeer her research results!As the thoughts crossed his mind, Jeffred thought he saw stars, and


    it was as though a hive of bees were living in his ears, buzzing away.Tap, tap, tap… He lurched a few


    steps back and nearly took a terrible fall!n supported him and checked his pulse. “Director, your


    heart and lungs are damaged from being over horrified!”rgh! Jeffred spewed a mouthful of blood as


    soon as n finished his words. “Professor Gershwin, better take Director Church away for a rest,”


    Kingsley said inly. “Damage to the heart and lungs will lead to other deterioration. He’ll be fine after


    ingesting a calming pill added with gold and silver leaf, amber, rhino horn, and dragon tooth.”n’sBelongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    eyes lit up at Kingsley’s words, and he chucked Jeffred aside to pull a notebook out of his pocket. “I’ve


    never heard of such a strange prescription! I must note it down…”On the other hand, Kingsley grabbed


    Alice and headed for the elevator, no longer bothered with Jeffred and the others.Inside the elevator,


    Alice asked while blinking, “Kingsley, what’s going on? How is it that you have such remarkable


    medical knowledge?!”“Um… you know I served in the military for thest decade, right?”“Yeah, Reene


    told me about it.” Alice nodded. “But what does this have to do with your knowledge? Don’t tell me you


    learned all this while you were in the military?!”“Um… Y-Yeah!” Kingsley muttered irresolutely. “I got to


    know someone in the military whose family were ancient doctors for five generations. He taught me all


    these acupuncture techniques.”“Hereditary medical knowledge?” Alice frowned slightly. “It’s… It’s way


    too unbelievable. The Todds, who are known as the medical family, probably don’t even have such


    amazing hereditary medical knowledge…”Kingsley wiped the sweat off his forehead as he looked at


    Alice’s probing yet calm face. “You better believe it! I wouldn’t have believed there was such crazy


    medical knowledge if I hadn’t performed it myself…”“Pfft!” His words got Alice bursting into a chuckle.


    “No matter who you learned it from, as long as you use it to save others, I won’t press you for


    answers.”Kingsley bet she didn’t believe a single word he said just now, knowing Alice was rigorous


    ever since she was a child. At that, he chuckled with a guilty conscience. “Um… Alice, do you want to


    learn ancient healing? I can teach you. You saw it yourself; they had even begged me.”“Nah, forget it.”


    Alice shook her head. “I much prefer the feel of a knife slicing through skin.”“……”Okay… Kingsley


    didn’t know what to say to that.Just then, the elevator pinged—it had reached Floor 17.While the door


    opened slowly, Alice’s promise from the day before popped into Kingsley’s head, and he hurriedly


    asked, “Alice, didn’t you say you’ll agree to any request of mine if I can cure Joshua’s paralysis? You’re


    not having second thoughts, are you?”
