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."


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    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 Zaynemandeer 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''s 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?"
