Ch. 581..590
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 581
For a moment, Sheldon was silent. Then, he said, “Can I keep some of the doctors who usually take care of my father here? If there is an emergency, they might be able to act according to the circumstances.”
“Sure,” replied Janet in a flat tone.
Upon hearing that, the eyes of the people present lit up. They would really love to see how skilled this young divine doctor was.
The corners of Ed’s mouth twitched. He also wanted to see if traditional medicine was so magical.
“This way, please.”
The room was large. Under the lead of Sheldon, the group pushed apart the split-screen and walked toward the place where his father was resting. Seeing the sight before them, the crowd slowed down their pace and walked into the room carefully.
Sheldon moved to the bed and woke his father up.
With blurry eyes, Old Master Fuller woke up from his slumber.
“The divine doctor is here.” Sheldon gently helped his father up from the bed.
Old Master Fuller looked up and his eyes met Janet. The moment he saw her, he stiffened. Based on the way she dressed up, he could see that she was probably just a young girl.
What is Sheldon doing? Did he find the wrong person? The divine doctor he imagined was someone in their forties or fifties with a lot of experience. However, the person standing before him was nothing like his expectation.
Casually, Janet pulled a chair and sat down by the bed. With a cool voice, she said, “I’m going to start my examination.”
Old Master Fuller was taken aback by her attitude. The divine doctor in front of him had an imposing aura.
“Please lift your arms.” Her frosty voice rose again.
Hesitating for a few seconds, Old Master Fuller lifted his arms, but he could only lift them a little.
“Please raise your calves.” Her cool voice was heard again.
Old Master Fuller raised his calves slowly. His legs weren’t as flexible as his arms.
Slowly, Janet helped him to put his legs down. She then lifted his arm and took his pulse.
All symptoms shown by Old Master Fuller are characteristics of ALS. We have been giving him active treatment. Why is she still taking his pulse? Because all the doctors present at the scene were specialized in Western medicine, they were bewildered by her diagnostic methods.
As the minutes ticked away, the doctors continued to stand by the side. Although they were confused, they remained silent, waiting for the diagnosis results.
Finally, about ten minutes later, Janet retracted her hands.
“How is my father?” Sheldon’s expression was gloomy and his voice was cold. Even the other doctors were staring at her with anticipation, especially Ed!
For a moment, Janet found their scrutinizing gazes uncomfortable. Her eyes gleamed; she pressed her hat lower and began, “He has poor limb coordination and poor flexibility.”
“Exactly.” Sheldon added, “It’s very difficult for him to get in and out of bed now.”
“When did it start?”
“Two months ago.”
Janet raised her brows at the answer. Then, as if she was talking to herself, she said, “In the beginning, there was a frequent feeling of numbness and pain in the limbs, followed by a deterioration of vision and speech. There was also constant dizziness and nausea.” Word by word, Janet recited Old Master Fuller’s condition and the latter was staring at her in astonishment.
Janet then stared at Sheldon coldly. “Am I right?”
Before Sheldon could answer her question, Old Master Fuller looked at Janet excitedly. He seemed to have every symptom that the girl in front of him had mentioned… Thus, he nodded his head heavily. “You’re completely right!”
After he said that, all the doctors present at the scene were shocked. What? Are all the symptoms correct? How did she manage to tell the exact symptoms just from taking the pulse? This is ridiculous!
There was a subtle change in their expressions and they started whispering to one another.
“No one has revealed the old master’s condition to her, right?”
“I don’t think so. We just met her. Where did we get the chance to tell her?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 582
“Isn’t it a little too outrageous that she can identify the symptoms just by taking his pulse?”
All the doctors present were discussing with each other in hushed whispers. Only a middle-aged man stood to one side with a sneer on his lips.
So what if she can identify the symptoms? The real talent is curing the patients.
After all, they were all doctors with knowledge of the fundamentals. Who wouldn’t know how to identify these symptoms? They think that Sandra’s so great just because she’s young and has some basic skills?
Ed found it amusing!
“Has he done an EMG and muscle biopsy?” Just as the group of doctors was talking, a cold female voice sounded in the ward.
Sheldon immediately pursed his lips and shook his head. When he spoke, his voice was heavy and a little hoarse. “No.” His father dared not face the fact that he was sick, so he refused to go to the hospital for examination as he was afraid that he would actually be diagnosed with ALS.
This was just self-deception!
As soon as she got her answer, Janet took her bag from Lee and rummaged through it for something.
Old Master Fuller’s eyes sank as he faltered, “C-Can I still be saved?”
“I don’t know,” Janet said flatly, then took out an acupuncture set from her bag.
Upon hearing Janet’s reply, Sheldon couldn’t help but frown. He glanced sideways at the doctors standing on the side.
At that moment, the doctors were confused as well!
What did she mean by ‘I don’t know’? Is a divine doctor even supposed to utter these three words? How can she be considered a divine doctor if she doesn’t even know if he can be saved?
One of the doctors stepped forward and said mildly, “Doctor Sandra, what do you mean you don’t know? Is that what a divine doctor would say?”
Janet did not answer but simply continued to sterilize the silver needles with alcohol.
Seeing that she wasn’t speaking, another doctor followed suit and asked, “Doctor Sandra, isn’t it obvious that Old Master Fuller is suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis? How can you say that you don’t know if there’s a cure? If you don’t know, then why are you still using acupuncture? Are you just going to muddle through your work after getting paid?”
“Exactly. Acupuncture is good, but it can’t be used blindly. If you’re not fully confident that you can treat him, I suggest you put those needles away now!”
Is she really the omnipotent divine doctor if she’s just going to do something as simple as acupuncture? The Fullers must have asked the wrong person for help! Not to mention, she’s young, and she won’t even show her face. She’s not serious at all!
Listening to their arguments, Old Master Fuller grew hesitant. He was unsure whether he should trust the woman in front of him.
Is this just a last resort to save me?
At this moment, Ed, who had been on the sidelines the whole time, finally opened his mouth to speak. “Doctor Sandra, why aren’t you saying anything? All you did was take his pulse, yet you’re going to perform acupuncture. You have quite the nerve! I’m afraid using acupuncture to cure ALS would just destroy your reputation as a divine doctor!”
Not only would her reputation as a divine doctor be ruined, but the whole traditional medicine community would probably be ashamed of her!
Ed’s words were clearly laced with doubt and ridicule.
Janet raised an eyebrow, then lowered herself and sat down. Crossing her legs, she said in a laid-back manner, “Oh? Mr. Fuller said that the patient has not done an EMG and muscle biopsy, so why are you all so sure that he’s suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis?”
At those words, Ed’s face fell.
The other doctors standing at the side frowned at her as well.
“Doctor Sandra, what do you mean? Are you questioning our expertise as experienced doctors?” One of the male doctors queried with displeasure.
They were all experienced and had been practicing medicine for more than a decade. They were undoubtedly skilled, but here they were being questioned by a little girl. It was making them really upset!
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 583
Janet said nothing but proceeded to scrutinize them instead.
Her delicate pink lips curled up and she let loose a chuckle.
This laughter ignited the anger of the doctors present. Standing opposite Janet, they gritted their teeth and tried to suppress the fury burning inside them.
“Why are you laughing? You’re just a little girl, but we’re listening to your diagnosis because we respect you! Nevertheless, I don’t see how your medical skills and ethics are worthy of our respect.”
“Did the Fuller Family really offer more than a billion just to employ a divine doctor that knows nothing?”
“Pfft. From the first moment I saw you, I had the feeling that you were a fraud. You must be a swindler, aren’t you?”
Pressing his lips together, Sheldon studied the woman in front of him. She didn’t seem to be the kind of person who would deceive others.
Old Master Fuller lowered his gaze. In fact, he thought that this young lady was quite something. After all, she had correctly listed all of his symptoms.
“I think you guys are the swindlers.” Janet paused, then widened her eyes as if she had just realized something. “No, to be precise, I should say that you guys are fools! You lot of quack doctors diagnosed him with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis solely based on his symptoms! Did you know that eighteen diseases in the world have similar symptoms as ALS? There’s no way to determine exactly what disease it is without performing scientific tests!”
These quacks were so quick to declare the patient as terminally ill!
Janet found that absolutely ridiculous.
When she was done berating them, the doctors’ faces darkened even more, and they were rendered speechless.
“Doctor, what are you going to do next?” Old Master Fuller asked dejectedly while lying on the bed.
Janet uncrossed her legs and casually stood up. “First, I’m going to give you acupuncture!”
So far, Old Master Fuller had problems in all four limbs, but he didn’t want to go to the hospital for a full body examination, so Janet could only perform acupuncture to see if the disease had affected his joints.
Old Master Fuller gave a slight nod, agreeing to receive the treatment.
Sitting on a stool, Janet retrieved the sterilized needles and inserted them into multiple pressure points on Old Master Fuller’s body.
She then placed a needle into the old man’s finger.
Soon, blood began to flow out from his fingertip.
The doctors became troubled. “Mr. Fuller, this… What the hell is she doing?”
It was frightening to see Old Master Fuller covered from head to toe with silver needles.
“Young Master Fuller, this is too dangerous. If the needles are accidentally misplaced, it will damage the nerves! Old Master Fuller will be in danger. Young Master Fuller, hurry up and stop her!”
Janet whirled around to look at the male doctor, then fixed him with a stony glare. “Shut up!”
As time slowly passed by, a deathly silence hung over the room, and the atmosphere remained sullen. Everyone’s attention was fixed on the old man lying in bed.
Ed and the doctors around him exchanged looks and smiled. This divine doctor is simply destroying her own reputation, bragging and boasting about her abilities. Using the traditional method of acupuncture is a vain attempt at improving Old Master Fuller’s condition! It’s ridiculous!
It seemed like they would have big news to share today!
If something happened to Old Master Fuller, then the traditional medicine industry would become the butt of jokes once again!
Sandra will pay the price for her ignorance and arrogance! Ed thought.
Suddenly, violent coughing broke the silence in the ward.
Then, Old Master Fuller spat out a mouthful of blood, and his hands and feet started to twitch!
Sheldon’s expression changed at once, and he was stunned.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 584
“Old Master Fuller!” Several of the doctors panicked and ran to the hospital bed.
After spitting out the blood, Old Master Fuller closed his eyes. No matter how they called him, he wouldn’t wake up.
“What happened to Old Master Fuller?” Ed demanded in an almost interrogative tone.
Janet spared him a glance, then answered nonchalantly, “He’s asleep for now, but he’ll wake up soon. No need to make such a fuss!” With that, she pulled the silver needles out from Old Master Fuller’s body and kept them in her bag.
“He’s obviously fainted! What do you mean ‘asleep for now’?”
“Are you sure you’re a divine doctor? I think you’re the quack!”
“That’s right. Are you even sure this works? This man’s life is at stake, and yet you’re so relaxed!”
At this moment, the ward was in chaos.
“Young Master Fuller, let me do it.” Just then, Ed stood up. “I’ll do a full-body examination for Old Master Fuller!”
Sheldon pursed his lips. He was too worried to care now, so he simply nodded and agreed. “All right.”
Within seconds, everyone except Ed vacated the ward.
Janet and Lee walked to the lounge while the others stood outside the ward waiting anxiously.
Lee settled into a soft couch. “You’re not going to stop him? Aren’t you afraid that those people will make a mistake?”
Janet’s eyebrows twitched, but she was still rather unbothered.
Since those people were doubtful of her medical skills, she would let them wake Old Master Fuller. What was the point of joining in on the commotion?
Inside the ward, Sheldon dismissed everyone, leaving only him, his assistant, Ray, and Ed.
Ed hurriedly examined the acupuncture wounds on Old Master Fuller.
After checking him from head to toe, he didn’t find anything unusual.
He then used his stethoscope to check Old Master Fuller’s heartbeat and found that it was normal!
All the signs indicated that Old Master Fuller’s physical condition was normal, but he was still unconscious.
Ed frowned and looked up at Sheldon. In a low voice, he said, “Young Master Fuller, there’s nothing abnormal about Old Master Fuller’s physical condition at present!”
Upon hearing this, Sheldon’s eyes darkened. His voice was extremely bitter when he responded, “He vomited blood and he’s still unconscious. Yet, you say that there’s nothing abnormal? Weren’t you the most anxious one just now?”
“Well… Old Master Fuller was fine until the so-called divine doctor inserted needles into him and he started to vomit blood. I think it’s better that we ask her for clarification.”
Ed ground his teeth and wondered what Sandra had done to make Old Master Fuller unconscious.
If she had knocked him out just to prove her medical skills, then she’s simply too inhumane! It’s no surprise that women are more shrewd. Obviously, those who study traditional medicine aren’t any good.
“Since the divine doctor made the old master faint, maybe we should ask her to come back in?” Ray suggested.
Just now, in his haste, he had chased Sandra out of the ward. Thinking about it now made Sheldon feel embarrassed.
His mind had been too muddled earlier!
“Dr. Brown, ask her to come back in!” Since Ed was the one who kicked her out, he ought to invite her back himself.
As soon as he heard this, Ed looked abashed.
Am I supposed to humble myself and bring Sandra back in? Isn’t this clearly showing that my medical skills are inferior to hers? How shameful is that?
Ed viciously gritted his teeth, feeling upset. Nonetheless, he couldn’t possibly ignore the request.
He walked out reluctantly. The moment he opened the door, the doctors standing outside were startled.
“Dr. Brown, how is Old Master Fuller? Is he awake?”
“Do you have to ask? If Dr. Brown is out, that means Old Master Fuller is awake!
“That’s amazing! He’s truly the sage of Western medicine. He woke Old Master Fuller up in just a few minutes!”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 585
“That’s right! In comparison, Western medicine is really more reliable than traditional medicine!”
“I don’t think it’s traditional medicine that’s unreliable; it’s just that girl that’s unreliable!”
“Oh, did you notice how she walked to the lounge like nothing happened after Old Master Fuller fainted?”
“Tsk, tsk. Old Master Fuller has fainted, yet she still has the guts to rest?”
“Heh, seems like Dr. Brown is still the more experienced and reliable one!”
Listening to their conversation, a shadow passed over Ed’s face.
Knowing where Sandra was, he headed in the direction of the lounge.
Looking at Ed’s retreating back, the doctors noticed the direction he was walking in and couldn’t help but wonder.
“Is Dr. Brown going to the lounge?”
“It seems like it! That’s the direction of the lounge!”
“Is Dr. Brown going to reprimand her?”
“Hmm, that’s possible! I guess he’s going to reprimand that little girl!”
“Hah! And here I thought that she’s skilled. Turns out she’s just a fraud!”
“Exactly! I wonder how the Fullers are going to handle this situation.”
“What else is there to do? They will have to get back the money they’ve given her!”
The few doctors engaged in a lively conversation with everyone chiming in one after another.
Just as they were about to go into the ward to see Old Master Fuller, Ed returned.
Ed had indeed gone to seize the swindler!
“Look, look. Dr. Brown has brought that girl here!”
“Tsk. A divine doctor? More like a liar!”
The doctors then followed him into the room.
“Young Master Fuller, the doctor is back!” Ed reported.
Janet walked into the room, then sat lazily to one side. Raising her eyebrows at Ed, she said lightly, “Didn’t you just ask me to leave? How come… Dr. Brown, you haven’t woken Old Master Fuller yet?”
Ed was at a loss for words.
Sheldon frowned. “We acted too rashly just now. I called you back to ask when my father would wake up.”
As soon as he said that, the doctors drew a sharp breath.
They looked toward the hospital bed and saw that Old Master Fuller was still lying unconscious on the bed.
It turned out that Ed didn’t go to the lounge to reprimand her but to invite her back in.
The doctors looked awkwardly at each other.
Remaining silent, Janet got up to measure Old Master Fuller’s pulse.
Sheldon was nervous as he looked at her serious gaze. “Miss Sandra, how’s my father?”
“He’ll wake up in a short while.”
Sheldon was puzzled. “Why is my father in such a deep sleep?” No matter how they called him, he wouldn’t wake up.
Janet lifted an eyebrow, then scoffed, “All day long, you people have claimed that he’s terminally ill. How is the old man supposed to sleep well after that?”
To put it simply, Old Master Fuller was constantly experiencing discomfort because his blood flow wasn’t smooth. After giving him acupuncture, his blood vessels had dilated, which improved his blood flow and enabled him to sleep soundly.
The doctors’ expressions turned stony at her accusations.
Is this girl trying to say that our senseless fussing caused Old Master Fuller’s mind to be restless and hindered him from having a good rest? That’s clearly a baseless allegation!
Sheldon was silent for a moment before he asked, “Miss Sandra, is there anything in particular that my father needs to eat when he wakes up?”
Janet walked past Sheldon to take her bag from Lee. From it, she retrieved some herbs and prepared a prescription on the spot.
As she arranged them, her cold voice rang out across the room. “Gentian, skullcap, psyllium, Angelica, Rehmannia, Bupleurum, licorice, and raw keel.”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 586
The Western health practitioners glanced at each other. They had never heard of a single herb Janet just mentioned.
She passed all the ingredients to Sheldon. “Divide these herbs into ten portions, then decoct it for him once a day.”
The decoction would cause drowsiness, so she added, “If the patient is sleepy after taking the medicine, it’s normal.”
Sheldon nodded. “Okay.”
“By the way, if the patient is willing to do an EMG and muscle biopsy, then I will come again in ten days. If he doesn’t want to go through with the tests, then there’s no need for me to come here anymore!”
Indeed, she wouldn’t be able to prescribe him the right medication without a proper examination.
Sheldon pondered for a moment and his gaze was intent. “I’ll try to persuade my father.”
Meanwhile, in the music practice room, Hilbert nodded with satisfaction as soon as Hazel played the last note, then dismissed her.
Emily could tell that Hazel was in a particularly good mood today, so something huge had to be going on!
Pressing her lips together, she stated cautiously, “Hazel, you’ve been smiling all day. Did something good happen?”
Hazel nodded. “Yeah. The divine doctor came today, so I have to go back earlier to visit Dad!”
Emily’s eyes lit up. “Today?” Wasn’t the doctor going on the tenth? If I remember correctly, today’s only the fifth.
“Yeah, with my dad’s condition, we can’t afford to delay any longer. So, my brother added another few hundred million to get the doctor to come a few days in advance.”
Emily gaped at the mention of this and she stared at Hazel in disbelief. “A few hundred million? This divine doctor charges way too much!”
Emily knew that Hazel’s family was rich, but she didn’t expect them to be rolling in money.
She suddenly felt that befriending Hazel was the right choice!
“Well, that’s how divine doctors are. Many people in the world need their help. If anyone could hire them, then they would be working their socks off!” Hazel explained.
A few hundred million was a lot, but it was nothing compared to their father’s life.
The Fullers would only be able to survive in Yobril if their father was around.
“Emily, would you like to come to my house to see what the doctor looks like?”
Emily blinked several times, feeling thrilled at the thought. “Are you sure that’s okay?”
“Of course. We’ve known each other for so long, but you haven’t been to our house yet.” Looking at Emily’s stunned expression, Hazel figured that she was probably also eager to see what the doctor looked like.
“Well, then. Let’s pack up and get going.”
The two girls talked and laughed along the way, and Emily felt like she had finally made a real friend in Yobril.
Not only was the Fuller family rich, but Hazel was also easy to get along with. And if she remembered correctly, Hazel had an elder brother.
Emily’s smile grew even brighter at the thought of this.
Inadvertently, she pulled on the hem of her skirt and looked at her reflection in the window to tidy up her hair.
Not long after, the car came to a slow stop and was parked on the side of the road.
Hazel got down from the car, then glanced at her friend on the other side of the seat. “Emily, this is my house. Get down quickly!”
Emily slowly looked up.
All of a sudden, her eyes widened in shock, and disbelief was written all over her face.
The enormous villa had a total of three floors, and since it was built on a mountain, every floor had its own magnificent view.
The whole building was unique and resembled a little palace.
On each side of the courtyard entrance stood a group of tall and imposing bodyguards, which presented a spectacular view.
Emily knew that Hazel’s family was well off, but she didn’t think that they were so wealthy.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 587
Thus far, the only people Emily could think of who were as rich as the Fuller Family were the three major families in Sandfort City.
“Hazel, so this is what your house looks like!” Emily was in a daze for a long while.
Hazel gave a nod. “There’s quite a lot of people around, but don’t be nervous. You’re my friend, so they won’t hurt you.”
Only then did Emily recover from her shock. She broke into a grin and nodded.
“Let’s hurry inside. Maybe the divine doctor hasn’t left yet.”
“Okay.” Emily hooked her arm through Hazel’s, feeling secretly delighted.
Meanwhile, everything inside the ward was settled. After taking a look at the time, Janet said idly, “I’m leaving now. I’ll be back in ten days!”
Sheldon’s dark eyes dimmed, and he suddenly asked, “Miss Sandra, can I add you on Messenger? I can contact you if there’s anything wrong with my father.”
Janet was silent for a while before agreeing. “Sure. You can scan my QR code.”
Smiling, Sheldon took out his phone and scanned her QR code, successfully adding her on Messenger.
“I’ll send you off.”
Janet waved her hand dismissively. “No, it’s fine. Stay here and take care of your father.”
Sheldon looked at her and murmured his assent.
Janet and Lee proceeded to walk toward the door with two men following behind them.
Ed hurriedly walked up to Janet and stopped her. In a low and steady voice, he snapped, “What were you doing back there? You completely humiliated me.” Janet glanced at him and a smile tugged on the corner of her lips. She snickered, “Humiliated you? Didn’t you also humiliate me when you kicked me out just now, Dr. Brown?”
Ed narrowed his eyes at her. “Sandra, you’re just too arrogant!”
In terms of seniority, he was higher than her; in terms of experience, he had more than her too.
Don’t think that you’re so great just because you can perform acupuncture. Traditional medicine is still no match for Western medicine.
“Western medicine is far more recognized than traditional medicine,” Ed proudly pointed out.
Seeing that the woman before him was speechless, he was about to speak again, when suddenly, a cool voice rang out. “So what if it’s far more recognized? Didn’t the Fullers spend more than a billion to invite me to Yobril from Sandfort City?”
“You…” Ed faltered and clenched his fists. “We’ll know how well traditional medicine works in ten days. Miss Sandra, I hope you don’t end up embarrassing the world of traditional medicine!”
With that, Ed tugged on his sleeve and left.
Looking at the middle-aged man’s back, Lee chuckled. “It seems like Ed is quite angry with you.”
Janet’s eyebrows arched as the corners of her lips curled up wickedly. “He isn’t very good anyway…”
If Western medicine was indeed better than traditional medicine, Ed wouldn’t have appeared so desperate.
All of a sudden, Janet caught a glimpse of a familiar figure coming their way.
Her eyes narrowed, and an indiscernible expression crossed her face.
She lowered her hat and muttered a curse.
Lee was confused. His gaze lifted and he abruptly exclaimed, “What a coincidence!”
Janet carried on walking forward with no expression on her face.
Hazel and Emily were talking and laughing as they walked, completely unaware of the two people in front of them.
It wasn’t until Emily reached the courtyard entrance that her smile went rigid as she stared blankly at the man who had just brushed past her.
She turned back and was frozen in place for a moment.
That man… Why does he seem so familiar?
The woman with the hat and mask felt rather familiar to Emily too, especially her gait and the aura she exuded.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 588
After pondering for a while, realization dawned on Emily. Was that man Lee Sanders from one of Sandfort City’s three major families? Lee Sanders? Why’s he at the Fullers’ place? Did he come here to talk business with them? Then, who’s the woman next to him wearing a hat and a mask? Why does she seem so familiar?
Emily frowned, obviously puzzled.
“Emily, what’s wrong?” Hazel watched her in confusion, unsure why she was staring at the two people just now.
Emily retracted her gaze and gave a wave of her hand. “Nothing, let’s hurry inside.”
After leaving the Fuller residence, Lee and Janet went straight to the car.
Janet nestled into the back seat and began to listlessly play with her phone.
Lee stepped on the gas and asked casually, “Janet, that was your sister, right?”
Without lifting her head, she responded, “Obviously.”
Whatever the case, she had nothing to do with Emily whatsoever.
The word ‘sister’ was just a joke to her.
Lee frowned at her reply but said nothing.
Janet was about to turn off her phone and take a nap, when her phone suddenly rang, notifying her that she just received a message on Messenger.
She glanced at it and saw that it was from Sheldon, whom she just added.
Sheldon’s message read: ‘I’m very sorry for the poor hospitality today. I’ll treat you to dinner next time.’
Janet squinted her eyes; her expression was unreadable. She turned off the phone screen without responding to his message.
Meanwhile, Hazel took Emily’s hand and walked toward the living room.
As soon as they entered, several servants gathered around, “Young Miss Fuller, is school over?”
Hazel nodded. “Where’s my brother?”
“He’s on the second floor taking care of Old Master Fuller.”
“Okay!” Hazel turned to Emily. “ Let’s go up together.”
Sheldon—who was on the second floor taking care of their father—heard Hazel’s voice coming from outside the door, so he went out. “Hazel, back already?”
“Sheldon, how’s Dad?” Hazel’s brows furrowed as she asked worriedly.
The moment Emily saw Sheldon, her heart began to beat wildly in her chest.
She swallowed hard.
Sure enough, he looked exactly the way she imagined!
“Dad’s still unconscious,” Sheldon explained. “He’s been sleeping since the doctor gave him acupuncture and hasn’t woken up since.”
Upon hearing this, Hazel’s face fell as panic flooded her features. “How could this happen? Where’s the divine doctor?”
“Don’t worry. The doctor said it’s not a big deal. He’ll be fine when he wakes up!” reassured Sheldon.
Hearing him say that made Hazel feel worse. Exasperated, she exclaimed, “He’s still unconscious! How can you say that he’s fine? Are you going to consider it a problem only when he stops breathing?”
Seeing that Hazel was so worried, Ray intervened, “Old Master Fuller is just too tired. He’ll wake up in a while!”
“Really?” Hazel was still doubtful.
“Yes. And the doctor will be back in ten days,” Sheldon added expressionlessly.
It was as she had expected. It was impossible for a divine doctor that they had spent more than a billion on to be so irresponsible.
After getting a grasp of the situation, Hazel finally introduced Emily. “Sheldon, this is my
Pursing her lips, Emily shyly bowed. Her voice was gentle and soft when she greeted him. “Hello, I’m Emily Jackson, Hazel’s friend. I’m also studying music at the Royal Academy.”
Sheldon replied, “Ah, yes. Hazel mentions you often.”
At that, Emily’s grin widened.
Just then, a thought seemed to have struck Hazel. The smile on her face faded. “Sheldon, where’s the doctor? Can I go in and meet them?”
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 589
Sheldon raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, “She just left. Didn’t you guys run into her?”
Hazel and Emily were dumbfounded. The two of them look at each other, wondering if it was the two people they saw earlier.
Hazel sighed, feeling a little regretful. She had passed by the doctor just like that. They had hurried back home, only to miss the doctor and lose the chance to speak to her! But, didn’t Sheldon say that she would come back in ten days? Then, there’s still an opportunity!
Emily, on the other hand, was getting more and more bemused. Is Lee the divine doctor? But, I’ve never heard of Lee having medical skills before. Besides, didn’t Sheldon refer to the doctor as ‘she’? Could the woman be the doctor? Who on earth is important enough to deserve the company of a Sanders, a member of one of Sandfort City’s three major families?
Inside the ward, Sheldon and Hazel were sitting by the hospital bed, waiting for their father to wake up.
The doctors present were very worried.
“Why isn’t Old Master Fuller waking up? Did that so-called divine doctor do something to him?”
“Who knows? It’s been five hours, but there’s been no movement since!”
“What should we do? What if she just runs away with the money?”
Hearing this, Sheldon snapped coldly, “Don’t talk nonsense!” Sandra isn’t such an irresponsible person! After today’s incident, Sheldon’s feelings for her seemed to have grown stronger. He knitted his brows and tried to control the emotions stirring inside him.
At this moment, the person on the hospital bed suddenly turned over, then opened his eyes in a daze.
“Dad?” Hazel exclaimed excitedly. “Dad, are you awake?”
All at once, everyone’s eyes landed on Old Master Fuller on the hospital bed. He’s awake?
Old Master Fuller slowly got up and rubbed his eyes. “How long have I been sleeping?” It felt like he had been sleeping all day long. He felt as if he had not slept this well in a long time.
“Five hours,” Sheldon answered, then ordered his servants, “Go and heat up his medicine.”
The doctors looked at Old Master Fuller’s face, not quite believing what they were seeing. Why does it seem like Old Master Fuller looks better than he did just now? Did that doctor’s acupuncture really help him? The few of them exchanged puzzled looks.
“My father is all right. You guys can go out now.” Hazel looked at the doctors in the room and felt that they were an eyesore.
Since she had given the order, it wouldn’t do them any good to stay there, so they quickly left the room. After they exited, they burst into chatter.
“Old Master Fuller looks well!”
“He does! You can’t tell that he’s sick at all!”
“Could this be an effect of her acupuncture?”
“Well, when you put it that way, it seems like acupuncture is really quite powerful!”
Hearing their praises only displeased Ed. Traditional medicine is powerful? It’s all superficial! It’s only powerful if it can cure him completely. However, in his opinion, there was absolutely no way for traditional medicine to cure the old man’s illness. His good physique now was only temporary. He would let Sandra be proud now. Ten days later, they would be able to see the actual results!
When Old Master Fuller woke up, it was already evening. Sheldon could finally relax after an entire day of being tense with nerves, and he was even in a good enough mood to eat.
At the table, Hazel was particularly cheerful and enthusiastic. She was constantly looking for topics to talk about with Emily.
However, Emily kept quiet most of the time, not daring to speak too loudly. From time to time, she would glance at the man seated opposite her.
“Emily, why don’t you stay over tonight? We’ll go shopping after we’re done eating!” Hazel blurted all of a sudden.
Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 590
“That’s okay. I don’t want to be a burden,” Emily said with a hint of shyness on her face.
“It’s fine! Let’s go shopping; it’s my treat. You can buy whatever you want!” Hazel offered generously as she was obviously in a good mood.
Sheldon hadn’t seen Hazel smiling so brightly in a really long time, so he tried to persuade Emily. “Miss Jackson, please stay. I rarely see Hazel this happy.” Then, he took out a card and placed it in Hazel’s hand. “There’s no limit, so buy as much as you want!”
Overjoyed, Hazel took the black card from him. “Thank you, Sheldon!”
Emily gulped, trying to hide the delight she was feeling.
Since Hazel had said that it was her treat, she could not keep on rejecting her offer.
“We’ll go shopping after dinner, and we can buy some supplements for my dad.”
Emily agreed as her face split into a grin.
Meanwhile, Lee was driving to a restaurant for dinner.
However, he noticed that someone was tailing them.
Lee pursed his lips, then called out, “Janet, it looks like someone’s following us.”
Janet lazily opened her eyes and looked into the rearview mirror, then laughed. “It doesn’t just look like it!” Someone was indeed following them.
“What should we do?”
Janet raised an eyebrow. She didn’t recall having any enemies in Yobril!
How strange!
She narrowed her eyes. “It’s all right. Just go to the restaurant.”
The car that was following Janet reached the five-star hotel where they were having dinner.
The two men in the car sighed, feeling distressed. “D*mn it! Where did they go?”
“Tsk. I reckon she thinks we’re bad guys!”
“Hmm. Let’s go into the hotel and look for her!”
“Oh, how much do we have to suffer?”
With that, the two men got out of the car.
They knew Janet very well, so they went straight to the place with the least people.
“Ugh! F*ck! Where did they go?”
“Sh*t! What should we do? I don’t want to go to Africa to mine coal!”
Just when they thought they had lost her, a figure suddenly drifted down the stairwell and stopped directly in front of them.
The two men were startled. After they got a clear glimpse of who it was, they breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh, my God! You scared us!”
“Miss Jackson, don’t be so cheeky! We can’t do our work well like this!”
When she was in the car, Janet had wondered who could possibly be following her.
When they got out of the car, her stalkers turned out to be White Python and Black Python.
She gave them a knowing look, and a hint of annoyance flashed across her eyes. “So, you’re stalking me now? Is it fun? Did Mason send you guys?”
They were speechless.
What? Does Miss Jackson actually think that? Young Master Mason never told us to follow her! Did we look like we were stalking her just now? Work habit maybe? It must be a work habit.
Black Python and White Python were utterly embarrassed. In order to avoid a serious misunderstanding, Black Python said, “No, no. Young Master Mason asked White Python and me to protect you…”
Who knew that they would end up mucking up the job, sneaking around like thieves?
Just when the atmosphere was beginning to calm down, the phone in Janet’s pocket rang.
She took out her phone and looked down to see that it was a message from Mason.
Without hesitating, Janet opened her Messenger.
Mason said: ‘Have you seen White Python and Black Python? I sent them to protect you. If anything happens, remember to tell me immediately!’
Janet was at a loss for words.
Black Python and White Python had turned the job of protecting her into a stalking operation. At this point, they had just greatly embarrassed themselves!
