The madwoman’s body trembled when she heard this. She looked at Clarence in disbelief, covering her mouth. “What… What did you say?
“My daughter can still be saved…”
“Yes, but what you have to do now is shut up.” Clarence looked at the madwoman coldly.
The madwoman stepped back as she nodded frantically, both terrified and delighted..
She looked so pitiful.
Clarence sighed. Every parent was truly admirable.
With everyone watching, Clarence prepared to insert the needles necessary to save the patient.
Belle seemed to suddenly recall something. “Clarence, don’t touch her. The girl’s heart has stopped beating, but she might be able to be saved if we send her to the hospital.
“If you touch her and she dies, then this is on you.
“Don’t blame Humanity Hall!”
Master Williams was livid. “Belle, do you have no shame?”
“Master Williams, what are you talking about?” Belle’s expression sank.
Master Williams was furious. “When the girl came into Humanity Hall, I said she should go to a big hospital for treatment if she has heart disease.
“However, you took a fancy to what the girl’s parents said about paying us one million dollars if we could cure her.
“Didn’t you want those one million dollars?
“Now you’re trying to pass the buck. How dare you!”
Belle’s pretty face turned ghastly pale. Almost blacking out from her anger, she pointed at Master Williams’s nose. “Damn you, Master Williams. How dare you say that when you’ve worked for Humanity Hall for more than twenty years?
“You ungrateful thing. I’ll ask my mom to fire you after this!”
“Hmph!” Master Williams snorted coldly. “Fire me, then. I don’t want to stay in Humanity Hall any longer.”
In the week since Belle and Melody had taken over Humanity Hall, the entire place had become a mess.
Clarence roared, “Will all of you shut up?
“If you want to quarrel, do it outside!”
He was trying to save a life, yet they were being so noisy and annoying that he could not concentrate.
Master Williams shut up.
Belle snorted coldly, “What’s the big deal? I’ll see what happens if you fail.”
Clarence began treatment once it became quieter.
With his X-ray vision activated, Clarence saw through the girl’s insides and discovered that her cardiovascular system was fragile, and her heart was slightly smaller than average.
The muscles of her heart were underdeveloped.
That could easily lead to heart disease.
It could also cause cardiac arrest once triggered or frightened.
However, the girl’s ‘energy’ was still there and had not gone out. She had just had a cardiac arrest. It was not a big deal.
Clarence inserted several needles to stabilize the girl’s energy.
Then, he secretly held the girl’s hand as he held the necklace with a cross, repairing her damaged heart in silence.
“Mom…”
A weak voice rang out, making the madwoman cry tears of joy. “Luna, you’re awake.”
“Really?” Master Williams was overjoyed.
Belle and Melody paused and curled their lips. “That’s pure coincidence.”
They would not believe Clarence knew anything about medicine, even if they saw proof with their own eyes.
Their impression of Clarence had already been fixed in place—he was a loser and also a loser son-in-law, he had not graduated junior high, and he was uneducated and illiterate.
Would such a guy know medicine?
It had to be a joke!
It was definitely pure coincidence.
The girl’s father stepped forward, looking grateful. “Doctor, I’m Chip Larson, the girl’s father. Thank you.”
Clarence removed the silver needles from the girl. “It’s no big deal. Just take some of the medicine I’ll prescribe.
“Don’t trigger her.
“Don’t frighten her.
“Proper exercise can help her heart develop, and she should be fine in the future.”
Chip froze. “She should be fine in the future? What do you mean, Doctor?”
His daughter had a congenital heart condition that delayed the growth of her heart. Her heart was now of a size better suited to a three or four-year-old child.
As the girl’s body grew, her heart simply would not be able to support it.
The hospital had already proclaimed that his daughter would not live past twelve.
His daughter had happened to turn twelve this year.
Clarence explained slowly, “I just fixed her heart.
“As long as she grows up healthy, her heart should be normal by the time she’s eighteen.
“She’ll be able to get married, have kids, and not be afraid of having a heart attack again.”
“What?” A fiery blaze flashed through Chip’s eyes. “Will she really be alright?”
Clarence nodded, then shook his head. “Theoretically speaking, she’ll be alright.
“I’ve repaired your daughter’s heart, but it’s still like a five or six-year-old’s heart.
“How can the body of a twelve-year-old bear the heart of a five or six-year-old?
“Thus, she needs recuperation. She really will be alright once she’s eighteen and fully grown.”
Chip clenched his fists in excitement. All he wanted was simple—to keep his daughter alive.
Clarence had given him a great surprise.
Not only would his daughter grow up healthily until she turned eighteen, but after that, she could also go on to live a normal life?
How could Chip not be excited?
He took a checkbook out of his pocket on the spot and wrote a check for ten million dollars. “Here’s ten million dollars, Doctor. Think of it as my payment to you.
“I’ll bring my daughter here for a follow-up every month.
“If she’s really alright, there will be a greater reward!”
“Ten million dollars!” With her eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets, Belle rushed to grab the check from Chip’s hand and stuff it into her pocket as fast as she could.
“What are you doing?” Chip glared at Belle.
Belle threw her head back with a haughty look on her face.
She pointed at Clarence. “Do you know who he is?
“His name is Clarence Howard, and he’s the son-in-law of the Murphy family. I’m his oldest sister, and his wife is my third sister.
“Clarence has lived off the Murphy family for three years.
“Everything he uses is from the Murphy family.
“He runs Thirteen Hall, while the Murphy family runs Humanity Hall. In other words, Thirteen Hall is Humanity Hall’s branch.
“In that case, this money should go to Humanity Hall too.”
Belle spoke matter-of-factly. She had no shame.
Chip frowned. “Mr. Howard, this…”
Clarence shook his head. “Forget it. Give it to her.”
Clarence turned around to check on Chip’s daughter.
The little girl was timidly nestled in her mother’s arms.
The madwoman from earlier had become quiet now, holding her daughter tightly and not letting anyone touch her.
After making sure his daughter was alright, Chip left with her and his wife. Belle walked over and said with a smile, “Master Williams, I was wrong just now. Will you come back with me?”
“Hmph!”
Master Williams snorted coldly, his face haughty. “You just called me ungrateful. Didn’t you want to fire me?
“Do you think I’ll go back to Humanity Hall?”
Belle nodded grimly, “Fine, don’t go back, then.
“Don’t you regret it later!”
Belle and Melody left in hatred. They gave Clarence and Master Williams a nasty glare before leaving.
An hour later, Belle and Melody returned, bringing Peony with them.
Peony scolded mercilessly, “Clarence, how dare you? Are you poaching Master Williams after failing to destroy the Murphy family?”
