Chapter 43: Confrontation!

Clarence’s words echoed throughout the room.
Boris stopped in his tracks. He felt an urge to curse right there and then.
Joshua Hayes’ condition was indeed tricky, and he already had the intention to back out of this case.
Just as he was about to come up with some excuse to leave, Jeremy had indirectly helped him by bringing Clarence over.
He had tried to look angry on the outside, but on the inside, he was overjoyed!
However, who on earth could have expected Clarence to insult him like that?
If Boris left now, that would prove what Clarence had said against him, would it not?
No!
He could not leave.
“What did you say, little runt?” Boris glared angrily at Clarence.
Clarence stood his ground, “Old man, are your ears as bad as your skills now?”
Boris had already insulted him by calling him a little runt, so why should Clarence show him any respect?
What was the meaning of this?
Everyone in the room looked at Clarence in surprise and horror.
What did he just say? Did he just call Boris an old man?
“Young man, what in the world are you talking about?” Doctor Mike Tare’s expression suddenly changed.
“Do you know who he is? How dare someone like you speak to Master Lowe like that!”
“Master Lowe is the best specialist in Beth City. Almost no one knows medicine as well as Master Lowe does, so who are you to insult Master like that?”
“Boy, apologize to Master Lowe right now!”
“Didn’t you hear him? Apologize now!”
A few doctors glared at Clarence furiously, chiding him.
“Somebody, get these people out of here!” Jackson shouted with an exasperated expression on his face.
A bunch of guards charged into the room.
“Master Lowe, please don’t be mad, I’ll get him out of here right away. This young man hasn’t seen enough of the world yet, so please forgive him,” Helena apologized profusely.
If Boris got angry and refused to treat the old master, that would be a disaster.
Johnson broke into a cold sweat. “Master… Master Howard, your big mouth is going to get us into trouble!”
Johnson regretted his decision now. He stomped on the floor anxiously, feeling like he should not have brought Clarence here.
If Jackson were to blame anyone about this kerfuffle, Johnson would surely be involved as well.
Just as the guards were about to rush forward and throw Clarence out of the room, a shout rang out.
“Stop!”
Boris stopped the guards and glared at Clarence, “Young man, you say that I’m not skilled enough. Do you think you have what it takes to cure Old Master Hayes, then?”
“Yes, I can cure him.” Clarence nodded.
The moment he stepped into the room, he had thoroughly assessed Joshua’s condition. It was still the same problem as it had been in front of the restaurant the day before. There was a clot in his head that had rendered him comatose.
If the blood was drained, Joshua might regain some consciousness.
Even though only one night had passed since his hospitalization, quite a significant volume of blood had accumulated.
However, that was not a huge problem for Clarence.
Boris laughed, “Haha! Alright! Alright! Alright!”
He repeated those words.
“If you can treat his illness, I shall get on my knees and kowtow thrice.
“If you can’t, however…” Boris narrowed his eyes as he stared at Clarence.
“If I can’t treat him, then I will kneel at the entrance of this hospital for three days and three nights, and I will also gladly receive any other punishment you give to me.” Clarence finished Boris’ sentence.
“Deal!”
Boris agreed right away.
He simply could not believe that a kid like Clarence could come up with a treatment, when he and the other specialists had no idea how to treat Joshua, even after an entire night of brainstorming and discussion.
The thing was, a surgery would be very risky for a person at Joshua’s age. In fact, the brain hemorrhage complicated things further.
The best way was to drill a hole into Joshua’s skull and let the blood out.
However, that method was also very risky. What if they accidentally punctured Joshua’s brain? In that case, he would be left paralyzed, even if they managed to save him.
“Master Lowe, why did you…”
Jackson was angry. How could Boris take such a risk, at his father’s expense?
Boris then coolly said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Hayes. I will ensure Old Master Hayes’ safety.”
Helena nudged her husband a little.
Only then did Jackson keep quiet for a while!
“Young man, after you!” Boris raised his hand to invite Clarence forward.
Clarence did not hesitate. He pushed the crowd aside and walked up to Joshua. He took out his bag of silver needles.
Ginny said to him nervously, “Brother, you have to save Grandpa.”
Clarence smiled casually and replied, “Don’t worry, there is still hope for your grandpa.”
Boris smiled coldly, “Boy, don’t tell me that you think a few silver needles can save Old Master Hayes?
“There is no one in the medical industry who could ever do that!”
“Just because you can’t do it, doesn’t mean that others can’t.
“Just watch and learn, and shut up while you’re at it,” Clarence retorted rudely.
“Why, you!”
Boris was livid, but he kept his mouth shut because Clarence had already begun his treatment.
When a doctor begins treating his patient, everyone around him must be quiet to avoid disturbing him.
Boris still had his etiquette down pat, even in a scenario like this.
He watched Clarence work.
Clarence took four silver needles from his bag and pierced them through the Shangxing, Shenting, Touwei, and Yangguan points.
In just a couple of seconds, dark-colored blood began to pour out of Joshua’s mouth and nose.
“What are you doing?”
Jackson was shocked. He tried to rush forward and stop Clarence.
“Shut up and stay still if you don’t want your father to die.” Clarence glanced back coldly at Jackson.
Jackson stopped and stared fiercely at Clarence. He wanted to tear the little runt to shreds so badly.
Fresh blood streamed out for two full minutes before stopping completely. When the bleeding stopped, Clarence removed the needles.
After the last needle was removed, Joshua opened both his eyes, much to everyone’s surprise and joy.
“Dad, you’re awake?” Jackson was overjoyed and surprised at the same time.
Boris widened his eyes and staggered back, almost collapsing to the ground, “How… how is this possible?!”
