Chapter 36
“Sir, we really lucked out today. I can’t believe we ran into a great healer on the road. I don’t know what we would’ve done otherwise.”
Normally, the old man’s episodes didn’t happen at this time, so they hadn’t brought any medication. It was a surprise, and quite frankly, a fright.
After calming down, the gentleman seemed much better.
“Yeah, that young lady… she just used a single needle and I felt better. Is she a doctor?” he mused quietly. “I’ve been to doctors before, and none of them could treat me like that.”
The driver nodded. “I thought it was incredible too. Sir, you should’ve seen her technique. It was better than anything you see on TV. At first, I thought she might be a con artist.”
The old man took a deep breath. “I’ve had this condition for years and never have I recovered without medication. I can’t believe this young girl has such skills.”
“It’s just a shame we don’t know her name,” the driver chuckled.
The old man chuckled too. “Didn’t she say she was called the Good Samaritan?”
The driver laughed along. Just then, a call came through the driver’s earpiece.
“Yes, we’re almost there. We had a bit of an unexpected stop. Mr. Ashcroft is fine, no worries. Yes, young master.”
After hanging up, the driver grinned, “That was the young master, wondering why we’re not there yet.”
Hearing who it was, the old man showed a hint of mild irritation.
“That rascal, seems like he’s living quite the easy life now.”
Meanwhile, back at the villa, Miranda took out the needle she used today. She scraped off the residue and examined it under a microscope.
She hadn’t encountered this particular ailment before, so she wanted to study it thoroughly. It was part of her routine and a family tradition.
Though many rare diseases had similar classifications, their causes could be vastly different. She couldn’t be sure she’d seen them all.
The world was constantly changing. For instance, cases of radiation sickness were unheard of in the past.
As a healer, continuous learning and exploration were essential.
During this time, a servant came by to drop off the dress for the event three days later. Seeing Miranda absorbed in her work, the servant quietly left.
At another estate.
“I heard from Louis that you had a bit of a mishap on your way here,” Elian said, pouring some tea and handing it to Mr. Ashcroft with a smile.
Mr. Ashcroft sát up straight with his cane, eyeing Elian. Suddenly, he tapped Elian’s leg with his cane.
Elian winced but managed a strained smile. “Grandpa, you don’t have to be so thrilled seeing your grandson.”
Mr. Ashcroft huffed, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve been up to these past three years. I’ve heard all about your misdeeds, enough to wear my ears out. You abandoned your friends, shirked your responsibilities, and came back just to embarrass the family, huh?”
With that, Elian got another tap from Mr. Ashcroft’s cane.
