The speaker was Grace, she had always disliked Jonathan. If it were not for her grandfather's intervention, she would have long thrown Jonathan out.
"Woman, who are you calling a liar?" Jonathan grumbled.
"What did you just call me!"
"Grace, don't be unreasonable. I'm already grateful for this doctor's help. From now on, he is a distinguished guest of the Leigh family, and no one should treat him with disrespect!"
Seeing her grandfather speaking, Grace could only suppress her anger and sit down unhappily.
Jonathan nodded, this old man was okay, much more sensible than that woman.
At this moment, William asked, "Dr. Cornell, can you really cure Mr. Leigh's illness?"
"Of course, it's just a matter of organ failure. But I can't treat it today, this woman ruined my mood. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
After speaking, Jonathan glared at Grace.
Grace was in her early twenties, extraordinarily beautiful. Normally, Jonathan would have taken a few more glances.
But who would have thought that this woman spoke so harshly. If it weren't for her good looks, Jonathan would have wanted to teach her a lesson.
"Well... alright, I will invite Dr. Cornell to my house to treat the illness tomorrow."
After speaking, Liam also glared at Grace.
It was all because of this ignorant granddaughter that Dr. Cornell couldn't treat him today.
Grace felt wronged. She didn't understand why her grandfather would believe in Jonathan, this liar.
"This guy, wait until tomorrow, I will definitely expose him!" Grace vowed in her heart.
After dinner, Jonathan and the others left first.
After Jonathan and the others left, Liam asked, “Grace, have you contacted Dr. Welch?"
"I have. Dr. Welch said he could come for a visit tomorrow, but you are planning to let that man treat you tomorrow."
Liam sighed, “Cancel it. Apologize to Dr. Welch and pay the consultation fee as usual. Dr. Cornell could see my condition at a glance, which shows that his medical skills are extraordinary. Maybe he can really cure my illness."
After finishing speaking, he got into the car.
"Grace, what did the old man say to you?" Noah asked as he walked over.
"Grandfather asked me to cancel Dr. Welch's consultation, but to still pay the consultation fee."
"This... Dr. Welch is a highly skilled doctor in Skyward State, and it's extremely difficult for ordinary people to invite him. What's going on with the old man?" Noah asked in surprise.
Grace angrily said, “It's all because of Jonathan. I don't know what kind of magic soup he fed my grandfather, but my grandfather insists on letting him treat him. Dad, do you really believe he can cure my grandfather's illness?"
Noah frowned and said, “There is indeed something wrong with that kid. How about this, we still invite Dr. Welch. In case that kid can't cure it, we still have Dr. Welch."
Grace nodded, “That's what I thought. You can tell at a glance that that guy is a liar. It's perfect to let Dr. Welch expose his scam and let my grandfather know what kind of person he is."
"Alright, then you handle it."
...
Early the next morning, Noah took Grace to the Goldkeep Hotel.
He had asked the Ford family for Jonathan's address yesterday. When he found out that the Ford family had arranged for Jonathan to stay in the presidential suite of the Goldkeep Hotel, he couldn't help but ponder.
Mr. Ford was calm and had lived for most of his life, his ability to judge people far exceeded his own. How could the person he fancied be ordinary?
Moreover, Mr. Ford had arranged for Jonathan to stay in the presidential suite. Staying here for a day costs tens of thousands, although it's nothing to the Ford family, it shows the Ford family's importance to Jonathan.
Could it be that he really misjudged him, and Jonathan is in fact a highly skilled individual?
"Grace, when you see Dr. Cornell today, you can't be disrespectful like yesterday. You need to show respect, understand?"
After entering the elevator, Noah said to Grace.
Grace, with a puzzled face, “Why, Dad? I can't respect that guy, let alone he's a liar!"
"How do you know he's a liar? What if he cures your grandfather's illness?"
"Impossible!"
"Don't be so absolute. If Jonathan really cures your grandfather's illness and you change your attitude towards him, it will be too late. Remember, never be arbitrary in your actions, think long-term."
Now in charge of the Leigh family, Noah naturally had his own set of principles. After pondering for a night, he began to change his attitude towards Jonathan.
"Absolutely impossible, Dad, you've seen what he's like. Which divine doctor would act like him? Today we'll see him get exposed by Dr. Welch!" Grace insisted.
Seeing his daughter's attitude, Noah shook his head. Grace was spoiled by the old man...
"No matter what, you can't be rude to Dr. Cornell, understand?" Noah's tone became sterner.
"I... I know. But if he can't cure my grandfather's illness, I'll make him look good!"
Although dissatisfied, Grace still nodded.
She was angry in her heart, all thanks to that bastard Jonathan, otherwise her father wouldn't talk to her like this.
The two came to Jonathan's room and knocked on the door, but no one came out for a long time.
"Could he not be in?" Noah furrowed his brows.
Grace disdainfully said, “Maybe he saw he couldn't deceive us and ran away."
Noah shook his head. He thought that since Jonathan was favored by the Ford family, he must have some abilities and wouldn't run away. Just as he was about to continue knocking, the door suddenly opened. Jonathan, rubbing his eyes, looked very impatient.
"What's up, so early in the morning!"
"Ah! Scoundrel!"
Grace screamed and immediately covered her eyes.
This bastard... he... he's actually not wearing any clothes!
Although she covered her eyes, Grace's fingers parted slightly... Unexpectedly, this damn pervert has a good figure, even has abs, and the chest muscles are not bad... gulp...
Ah! Grace! Have some dignity!
Meanwhile, Liam was also very embarrassed because Jonathan was only wearing a pair of boxers, and the rest of him was bare.
Jonathan was completely awakened by the scream. He scratched his head, “Sorry, wait a moment."
After speaking, he slammed the door shut.
Five minutes later, Jonathan came out in his clothes, “What's the matter?"
"Dr. Cornell, we agreed today that you would treat my father's illness, you see..."
Noah's voice carried a hint of respect.
"I almost forgot about it, let's go."
Jonathan got into Noah's car, and they quickly arrived at the Leigh family's residence.
The Leigh family lived in a manor with a beautiful environment and fresh air. It's very suitable for nurturing the mind and body. At the entrance of the villa, there was also a fountain with a huge Shoushan stone standing inside. It was very spectacular.
"My goodness, you guys really live in luxury, living in such a big place!" Jonathan exclaimed.
"Hey, who are you calling a dog!" Grace retorted unhappily.
"Whoever responds is the dog."
"You..."
"Alright, Grace, be polite to our guest," Noah first reprimanded Grace, then turned to Jonathan and said, "Dr. Cornell, the old man is in the bedroom, I'll take you there."
Jonathan nodded and entered the villa.
In the bedroom, Liam was lying on the bed, a white-haired man in his sixties was taking his pulse.
"Dr. Welch, how's my body?" Liam asked.
The old man stroked his beard, “There's no big problem, you just have some internal heat. I'll perform some acupuncture, and your body will feel better."
Liam nodded, “Then I'll have to trouble Dr. Welch."
"Treating patients is my duty, there's no trouble."
The old man smiled slightly, turned around to take the silver needle from his medicine box, and was about to perform acupuncture when a voice rang out.
"Wait!"
Jonathan quickly walked in and stopped the old man.
"Where did you come from? Don't mess around with treating patients, you know? If you cause a problem with my patient, is it your responsibility or mine?"
