“Sure.” Headmaster Hill nodded and immediately arranged for a nurse to fetch it.
Soon, the examination report and medical record were brought over.
Betty Cooper studied it seriously, with a slight frown on her face.
The ward was quiet, and no one dared to raise their voice.
A moment later, Betty Cooper put down the examination report.
Her assistant immediately walked over to her side.
Betty Cooper whispered a few words into the assistant’s ear, covering her mouth.
Her voice was very soft.
No one else could hear it.
Upon hearing her words, the assistant first nodded and then straightened up, and said to everyone, “The old man’s illness is quite serious and requires surgery. The success rate is only around fifty percent. Miss Cooper suggests that you all think carefully, as there are risks involved in everything.”
Upon hearing this, Headmaster Hill couldn’t help but admire Miss Cooper’s remarkable medical skills.
She could cure diseases that their hospital had no solution for.
Headmaster Hill smiled and said, “Miss Cooper, if there’s going to be surgery, could we arrange for several doctors to follow and learn from you?”
After all, she was Betty Cooper.
If it was possible, their hospital would benefit greatly.
The assistant frowned slightly, “Miss Cooper only passes her medical skills down to the descendants of the Dreamstone Family.”
Did they really think anyone could learn from Miss Cooper?
Wishful thinking.
Upon hearing this, Headmaster Hill felt a bit embarrassed, “I’m sorry, Miss Cooper, I didn’t mean to impose. Please forget what I just said.”
Betty Cooper still didn’t say a word.
Harlan Lentz continued, “Miss Cooper, does my father have to have surgery?” “Yes.” The assistant nodded.
As soon as the assistant finished speaking, she asked, “Is there a divine doctor who can cure the old man without surgery and by just taking medicine?”
Who would dare to call themselves a great doctor in front of Miss Cooper?
Wouldn’t that be like showing off their axe in front of Lu Ban (a famous Chinese carpenter)?
Inviting ridicule upon themselves.
Without waiting for Harlan Lentz to answer, Bianca Lentz said, “Here’s the thing, my brother’s daughter-in-law, who is a doctor but hasn’t been married into the family yet, said that my father doesn’t need surgery and can be cured with some medicine. Now that Miss Cooper is here, Big Brother, quickly bring out the medicine your daughter-in-law mentioned and let Miss Cooper appraise it.”
Hearing this, even the usually calm Betty Cooper raised her eyes to glance at
Harlan.
No one had ever questioned her medical skills before.
Harlan Lentz frowned slightly.
What did bringing out Viola Thompson’s medicine for Betty Cooper to appraise mean?
Wasn’t that doubting Viola’s medical skills?
“What’s the matter, Big Brother? Are you afraid?” Bianca Lentz mocked, “I knew you had no good intentions!”
Eleanor Armstrong was somewhat angry.
They hadn’t done anything wrong, but now Bianca had stirred things up, making it seem like they were unfilial children who couldn’t wait for the old man to die.
“Bianca, wait a minute, I’ll go and fetch the Soothing Pills right away.”
Soothing Pills.
Upon hearing these three words, Betty Cooper’s eyes flickered.
“I’ll go with you!” Bianca Lentz immediately followed Eleanor Armstrongs footsteps.
Lilly White also went out with them.
The LentzFamily Old Mansion was not far from the hospital. Soon, Eleanor Armstrong returned with the Soothing Pills in hand.
“Please take a look, Miss Cooper.”
Betty Cooper received the small wooden box.
It was made of purple sandalwood.
It had a faint fragrance.
Upon opening the lid, Betty saw a single brown pill lying inside.
Not large.
Betty glanced at her assistant without saying anything, and her assistant understood her intentions immediately stepped forward and said,
“Headmaster Hill, could you arrange a laboratory for Miss Cooper?”
“Sure.”
Headmaster Hill nodded, “Miss Cooper, please come with me.”
Betty Cooper followed Headmaster Hill’s footsteps.
The assistant explained, “This pill has a complex composition, so Miss Cooper needs to borrow the laboratory to study it.”
Having said that, the assistant also followed Headmaster Hill and Betty Cooper’s footsteps.
Watching the Soothing Pills being taken away, Eleanor grew anxious and tried to follow them but was stopped by the assistant, “Madam, Miss Cooper doesn’t like being disturbed by outsiders when she’s experimenting.”
Bianca interjected, “Sister-in-law, are you worried that Miss Cooper will steal the pill with an unknown origin?”
Even if they gave such a thing to Miss Cooper, she wouldn’t even bother to glance at it.
Eleanor didn’t say anything.
Soon, Betty Cooper and her assistant returned to the ward.
The assistant walked up to Eleanor, “Madam, Miss Cooper has carefully studied the pill you gave her. It’s not a Soothing Pill, and doesn’t have the effects you mentioned. It’s just an ordinary health pill.”
Upon hearing this, Bianca laughed out loud.
Turned out it was just a health pill, and Eleanor valued it so much.
Eleanor then asked, “Where’s my item?”
The assistant said, “I’m sorry, but Miss Cooper crushed the pill in the laboratory to study its composition more thoroughly. As an apology, Miss Cooper is offering you a nine-clearance pill compensation.”
The nine-clearance pill was developed by Betty Cooper in two years of research.
It is said that if a person takes one at the moment of death, it can save their life.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Eleanor with envy.
Trading a health pill for a nine-clearance pill—Eleanor must have been extremely lucky!
“What?” Eleanor couldn’t believe it and frowned, “The Soothing Pill was crushed? Even if you’re Miss Cooper, you don’t have the right to crush someone else’s pill without their consent. Did you ask for my permission?”
It was outrageous!
The assistant didn’t expect Eleanor to be so ungrateful, and frowned, “Madam, the nine-clearance pill is extremely valuable and hard to come by. You’re not losing out.”
“Sister-in-law, don’t act aggrieved after benefiting from something!” Bianca took the nine-clearance pill from the assistant and smiled, “Miss Cooper, please don’t mind my sister-in-law. I’ll accept this pill on her behalf..”
