Chapter 35: Graydon Zeigler's request

The young man started to look guilty. He said with great regret, "It's all my fault. I forgot to tell my wife that Alejo has a history of allergies. I didn't pay attention in the morning so..." The young woman beside him immediately said, "It's not your fault, it's mine. If I wasn't lazy and slept in, none of this would have happened." As soon as she said so, there was another commotion, and several people squeezed in. The one leading in front was a young woman with a palm mark on her face. Her makeup was already smeared with tears. As soon as she saw them, she immediately asked anxiously, "Hubby, how is Alejo? Is he okay?" The man seemed a little distressed, but even more so, guilt filled his heart as he said, "Thanks to this miraculous doctor, Alejo is fine now. I'm sorry dear, I shouldn't have hit you just now." The woman shook her head, "I don't blame you at all. You were panicking, so I can understand it. Fortunately, Alejo is fine. Or else if anything happened because of me on the rare occasion that Steffel brings the child here... I wouldn't be able to forgive myself." After saying so, she immediately bowed deeply at Fabricio, "Thank you doctor. You didn't just save Alejo, you also saved our family." The two old men, as well as the youth and Steffel all bowed to express their thanks. Fabricio hurriedly raised his hand, "Okay, okay. No need to thank me. You'd better take the child to get a gastric lavage as soon as possible to completely eliminate the harmful effects.” It was only then that the bunch of them left with hearts full of gratitude. Just as Fabricio breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say hello to Graydon, the crowd suddenly surged towards him, and the person walking in the front shouted loudly, "Doctor, could you please treat me too?" "Yeah, doctor, my stomach has been feeling unwell for several days now. Could it be gastric cancer?" "And me too, I have this gout that comes and goes often. It's really tormenting. Doctor, is there any way to completely cure it?" "Miraculous doctor..." Fabricio was shocked. The reason why he revealed his identity earlier was because he knew he was young, and the child was in critical condition. If he didn't say that he was the hospital's specially appointed expert, he would most likely miss out on the best timing to for treatment. However, he never thought that the situation would progress into what it is now. Promise? Help to take a look? Please, there were dozens of people here. It's either he ignored all of them, or he would have to treat each and everyone of them there. Otherwise, the patients will complain. But his mind is on his little sister, so how can he calm down and treat them? Of course, the most important thing is that none of these people's illnesses are that serious. As long as they queued and waited for a doctor's examination, their problems could also be solved. Fortunately, Graydon was very helpful. He stopped all the patients and said, "Everyone, Doctor Harrison has just arrived. Not only has he not eaten breakfast, he hasn't even changed his clothes. Isn't it a bit... inappropriate for us to block him here like this?" "So, please be understanding, let Doctor Harrison have breakfast first, okay?" After some persuasion, as well as the help of the security and medical staff who came after hearing the news in evacuating the crowd, Fabricio could finally escape. On the way to the main building, Fabricio had a scared look on his face as he said, "Graydon, thank you very much for your help back there." "Well..." Graydon waved his hand gently and said rather shamefully, "It was also my fault. If it weren't for my ignorant granddaughter and what I accidentally blurted, you wouldn't be hogged by the crowd." "Speaking of which, Jagusch, apologise to Fabricio at once!" Jagusch's attitude had changed totally and now she was speaking meekly, "I'm sorry, Doctor Harrison. I shouldn't have interrupted just now. You were nearly misunderstood too. I'm really, very sorry. Please forgive me." Fabricio shrugged, "Nah, you didn't know, so I don't blame you either. After all, I am indeed too young, so it is normal for there to be doubts." "Look at Fabricio," Graydon said, "Both of you are the same age, but his magnanimity and accomplishments are way ahead of you." Jagusch was still respectful and had absolutely no intention of arguing. Not only that, she secretly nudged her grandfather twice with her elbow. When Graydon looked at her, she immediately blinked hard. Graydon was amused, "What? Have you changed your mind now?" "Grandpa!!!" Jagusch stomped vigorously, fearing that he would say something he shouldn't. This intrigued Fabricio, who couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Graydon, the both of you...?" "Oh, here's the thing." Graydon didn't hide anything, and said very simply, "Didn't you mention that you wanted to open your own clinic yesterday? I was just wondering if I could send my granddaughter over to help you. " After a pause, he continued, "I almost forgot to introduce the both of you. My granddaughter, Jagusch, graduated from the Central City University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is currently an intern at the Harchester Public Hospital." "She may still be lacking in various aspects, but she should be fine as an apprentice. That's why I wanted to ask if you could grant me this favour?" Upon hearing this, Jagusch immediately looked at Fabricio expectantly. It's not that she was fickle, but Fabricio's skills were just... amazing. Chinese medicine, she studied Chinese medicine too, so how could she not know what Fabricio was doing previously? Even if she described it as a magical skill, it wouldn't be an exaggeration either. Using silver needles instead of surgery, a patient suffering from anaphylactic shock was brought back from the brink of death in less than two minutes. She had never heard of such a method before, let alone seeing it with her own eyes. From then till now, it was definitely the only time she would see this in her entire life. What's even rarer is that he didn't use any drugs during the whole process, which was actually quite unfathomable. Finally, coupled with his incredible diagnostic skills and everything grandpa told her last night... She was really in awe, and sincerely wanted to follow in the footsteps of such a miraculous doctor. Her sixth sense was also hinting her. Perhaps becoming his disciple would be the wisest decision she had ever made in her life. But Fabricio was startled. He smiled bitterly and said, "Graydon, stop pulling my leg. The Central City University of Traditional Chinese Medicine... that is one of the top fifty universities in the country. Wouldn't it be a joke to let your granddaughter work as an apprentice in an unknown clinic? No, no, absolutely not!" Central City University of Traditional Chinese Medicine was off the charts. It wasn't just the university where the national "Project 211" and "Innovation Platform for Key Disciplines in Project 985" was carried out, it was also the most prestigious school of traditional Chinese medicine. Such an outstanding student would have a bright future if she practiced in any hospital for a few years. Why would she work with him? It's not that he doesn't have the qualifications. What he's afraid of is that she would be arrogant and would refuse to listen to his instructions. When the time comes, wouldn't he still need to consider Graydon's reputation and feelings? He didn't want to put everyone in an awkward situation just because of this incident, so to be on the safe side, he simply refused.
