"You want me to kneel for you?" Marico raised his head in shock and anger.
"What? You don't want to? " Ashburn stepped on Marico's hand on the ground with a poker face.
Marico clearly heard the sound of broken hand bones, and let out a scream like a slaughtered pig, and said hurriedly, "No! No! I will, I will! " Kowtowing like pounding garlic, and tears flowed down his face.
The incident happened on the street, attracting a large number of passers-by. The well-dressed Marico knelt in front of the tattered Ashburn. The style of this scene was ridiculous.
Ashburn picked up the electromobile that fell on the roadside and pushed it away step by step.
Narada College of Economics and Management.
After searching for a long time, Ashburn found a place where he could charge, the reception office at the entrance of the school.
Chatting with the old man in the reception room, watching the people coming in and out of the door, a graceful figure caught his attention. She was wearing a black and gold-toned classic printed dress and a pair of gold diamond-encrusted pointed-toe high heels, which were graceful with a hint of intellectuality.
"This is Reina York, a distinguished alumna of our school. This time she was invited by the school to come back to give a speech." The old man in the reception office explained to Ashburn.
Next to Reina was a petite girl, probably her assistant, helping her hold things.
A group of school leaders followed her, what a scene!
"Looking forward to next our gathering." Reina bowed slightly and asked those after her to hold on and go back.
Then she said to the assistant, "Lucine, bring the car over."
Lucine went to the car.
Reina wore high heels and walked to the roadside to wait. Suddenly, she covered her belly and slowly squatted down. Big beads of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead.
Then she fell to the side of the road as if her whole body couldn't hold it up, attracting the attention of several passers-by, who gathered around her, but had no clue.
"Get out of the way!" Ashburn rushed forward and dispersed the crowd, "Don't crowd around, keep ventilating."
Then he put his hand on Reina's right wrist and looked at her face again. Her beautiful face turned blue in an instant. Even though her lips were covered with lipstick, some faint purple and black colours could still be seen.
She bit her lip tightly and found it difficult to speak.
The old man in the reception room hurriedly came over, "Food poisoning?"
"No, it's twisted intestinal fever." Ashburn said firmly, "Dude, are there any needles in the reception office?"
"The last time my wife came over to sew clothes for me, she seemed to have left behind a box of embroidery needles."
"I need it!"
The old man hurriedly went to get the needles and asked, "Young man, what are you doing with these needles?"
Ashburn didn't answer. He took out an embroidery needle from the needle box, then grabbed Reina's delicate hand and without hesitation, pricked the needle into her thumb.
"Ouch, what are you doing!" the old man screamed.
The people watching criticized him one after another as well.
"Is this guy crazy? What kind of hatred do they have? Just prick her finger with a needle. How painful it is!"
"Does he think he is Lydia in ‘The Handmaid's Tale’?"
"The nerves of the fingertips are linked with the heart. This is a beast, taking advantage of others' danger."
Ashburn neglected the judgments pricked Reina's thumb, and pressed hard to squeeze out her blood. The blood was a little dark red.
Lucine parked the car on the side of the road and quickly squeezed into the crowd. When she saw the scene in front of her, she pushed Ashburn away.
"Who are you? What are you doing!"
While supporting Reina, Lucine said to the old man, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Call the security guard!"
The old man hurriedly called the security guard.
The crowd had a strong sense of justice and surrounded Ashburn for fear that he would escape.
But Ashburn had no intention of running away, and said to Lucine, "Miss. York suddenly suffered from the twisted intestinal fever, and she must be treated with bloodletting immediately, otherwise she may be endangered." This disease could be serious or minor. In ancient times with backward medical conditions, it was not uncommon for people to lose their lives due to delayed treatment, so Ashburn was also very anxious.
But Lucine didn't believe him, "Who are you? Are you a doctor?"
Ashburn knew that if he said that he was not a doctor, Lucine would not continue to let him treat her, so he lied, "I am a student of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
Lucine was doubtful but half-believed in.
Ashburn ignored her doubts and continued to grab Reina's hand and insert the needle.
Ten fingers were pricked all over. The acupuncture point on the fingers was the Shixuan acupoint, which was usually used for bloodletting.
The old man came with the security guards. When they were about to push Ashburn away, Reina suddenly spoke, "Let off this gentleman."
"Miss York, you...are you okay?" Lucine was surprised and happy.
Reina stood up holding Lucine's shoulders and looked at Ashburn gratefully, "Thank you."
"My pleasure."
"Lucine, give this gentleman my business card." Reina called Lucine to get the business card, and then asked, "Oh, I don't have your name yet."
" Ashburn."
"Just now you said...what kind of disease did I get?"
" Twisted intestinal fever, this is a type of acute filthy disease." Ashburn dug out the information in his mind and explained to her, "According to modern medicine, it is dry cholera, with no vomiting or diarrhoea, but abdominal pain like colic."
The people who had just criticized Ashburn, seeing that Ashburn had saved people, were speechless all of a sudden.
Lucine also said embarrassedly, " Ashburn, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were a medical student. My words just now were very offensive. Please forgive me."
Ashburn smiled and waved his hands, not taking it seriously, knowing that she was also worried about Reina.
He lowered his head and glanced at the business card, CEO of York Group Youth Development Investment in East State.
"You are from the York family in East State."
" Yes, but why do you ask?"
Ashburn frowned slightly, "There is a man named Marico in your family. Are you familiar?" He had just beaten Marico, and this scene was somewhat embarrassing.
"Marico?" Reina looked confused, "Although our family has a large population, we don't have this person."
Ashburn was stunned for a long time, also confused.
No such a person?
Didn't this shit keep saying that he was the young master of the York family in East State?
At this time, mother-in-law Hebe suddenly called. Before Ashburn could say anything, she started to curse, "Ashburn, did you hit Marico? What's the matter with you? I thought you were an honest man before, but now you are morally depraved! Let me tell you, Marico is the young master of the York family in East State and doesn’t like trash like you. You beat him, do you know the consequences? He is lying in the hospital now! Come here and apologize to him properly until he forgives you! If it’s because of you that this wealthy son-in-law of mine runs away, huh, don’t blame me for turning my back on you!"
Ashburn sneered in his heart, Marico, this coward, complained to Hebe so fast!
Originally, he filed for divorce with Gina and had no intention of talking to Hebe anymore. As long as he paid back one million, he could completely break away from the Willow family.
But now he decided to go to the hospital.
