Half a month.
Just half a month.
In half a month, Linda Wilson would know how wrong she was.
If an unknown girl could cure Edith Bennett, then all his medical skills were learned in vain.
Elizabeth Thompson continued, “If Linda apologizes to you, will you save Edith
Bennett?”
“It depends on Linda’s attitude.”
As long as Linda was sincere, he was not the kind of person who would push too hard against others.
Moreover, a healer’s duty is to save lives.
Old Doctor Bruce looked at Elizabeth Thompson and said, “Emma, the same goes for you. I teach you medicine to save lives. Remember, no matter what happens, a person’s life must always come first!”
“I will keep your teachings in my heart.” Elizabeth Thompson nodded her head, “By the way, I have a prescription here. Can you see if there’s any problem with
With that, Elizabeth Thompson handed the prescription to Old Doctor Bruce.
Old Doctor Bruce took it and looked at it, “Is this a prescription for treating burns?”
“Yes.”
Old Doctor Bruce continued, “Have you seen the patient?”
“I have.” Although Elizabeth Thompson had only seen Fiona Knight once, she was sure it was a burn, “The patient’s injury is much more severe than a normal burn. Some tissues and jawbones are only separated by a thin layer of skin.”
Thinking about it now, Elizabeth Thompson still felt a bit creeped out, her body breaking out in goosebumps.
“If the injury is serious, you can add another Chinese medicine that can remove rot and regenerate flesh,” Old Doctor Bruce stroked his beard, “As long as you confirm that the patient’s injury is a burn, the prescription is fine.”
“Understood, Master.”
Old Doctor Bruce turned to look at Elizabeth Thompson, and said earnestly, “Emma, you are my most talented apprentice. It’s up to you to carry on our school of Bian Que’s medical techniques.”
Among all his apprentices, Elizabeth Thompson was the most gifted and the only female disciple who could be compared with Miss Suwen.
Miss Suwen is a legend in the world of traditional Chinese medicine and the only woman who has reached the pinnacle in that field.
It’s said that there’s no one she can’t save except those she doesn’t want to. She is also known as the Medical Fairy!
At the same time, Suwen has always been Old Doctor Bruce’s idol.
Elizabeth Thompson became Old Doctor Bruce’s apprentice at the age of 12 and could identify all kinds of Chinese herbal medicines by the time she was 13!
At 14, she began to practice medicine independently and became somewhat famous in River City at the age of 17.
Now, 18-year-old Elizabeth Thompson has surpassed her teacher.
Old Doctor Bruce believed that Elizabeth Thompson would be able to achieve the dreams he hadn’t been able to.
He wanted everyone in the field of traditional Chinese medicine to know that the school of Bian Que had not declined.
“Emma, I hope one day you can become someone like Miss Suwen.” At that point, Old Doctor Bruce paused, “I don’t know if I’ll ever get to meet Miss
Suwen during my lifetime.”
If he could, he would die without regrets.
“Miss Suwen has always been the guiding light of my life.” Elizabeth Thompson continued, “I believe that with my efforts, one day, I will be able to stand in front of her and receive her approval! ”
As a legend in traditional Chinese medicine, gaining Suwen’s recognition would make her a powerful figure in the field.
Elizabeth Thompson had great confidence in herself because Suwen was known to appreciate talent.
She was already River City’s most talented girl, and with a little effort, she would surely catch Suwen’s attention as she made her mark in the world of traditional Chinese medicine.
Curing Fiona Knight’s face would be but the first step in her journey into the world of traditional Chinese medicine!
Meanwhile.
On her way back from the Bennett Clan, Viola Thompson stopped her bike on the side of the road next to the secondhand electronics market.
She wanted to buy a computer in the secondhand market.
Firstly, it was because new computers were too expensive.
Secondly, both new and old computers needed to be reassembled in the end, so the results would be the same. She might as well choose the cheapest one.
After comparing prices at several stores, Viola Thompson chose an inconspicuous stall and pointed to an old, dilapidated laptop, “Boss, how much is this?”
The boss, who looked to be around thirty years old, was sleeping on a rocking chair. Hearing someone ask about a scrapped computer, he casually said, “500.” “500?” Viola Thompson raised her eyebrows slightly, “Can it be cheaper?”
“That’s the lowest price.” The boss didn’t really expect anyone to pay 500 for a useless computer.
Viola Thompson pointed to the parts beside her and asked, “Can these parts come with it for 500?”
The boss finally opened his eyes, looked at Viola Thompson, and then at the pile of rubbish she was pointing at, “What are you going to do with this?” “To assemble it.”
“Assemble?” The boss laughed, “Young lady, how old are you?”Assembling a computer is not easy, even for someone like him who’s been working with computers for years, he wouldn’t casually say the word “assemble.”
“Eighteen.” Viola Thompson replied.
Just eighteen years old.
Did she understand computers?
Did she know what assembling meant?
If she really knew how to assemble, she wouldn’t have chosen a scrapped computer!
The boss continued, “These parts and the computer are all scrapped. If you like them, I’ll give you everything for 500 yuan. But let me be clear, if you can’t assemble it after you take it home, you can’t come and bother me!” Perhaps the computer and parts were just junk in the boss’s eyes.
But in Viola Thompson’s eyes, they were rare treasures.
“Don’t worry, no matter what the result is, I won’t come back and return it.”
“Alright, take it.”
Viola Thompson paid with a QR code scan.
After she paid, the boss put the computer and parts in a bag and handed it to Viola, “Young lady, now that we have completed our transaction, you must not regret it.”
“No regrets.” Viola Thompson reached for the bag.
The boss smiled and didn’t say anything.
He probably thought that this girl spent 500 yuan for a pile of junk and was brazen enough to say she would assemble it. Which family raised such a prodigal daughter?
Just as she walked out of the second-hand market gates carrying her stuff, Viola Thompson saw two acquaintances.
“Miss Marseille, Teacher Ye.” She approached and politely greeted them.
That’s right.
These two acquaintances were her former homeroom teacher, Ye Jun, and her current homeroom teacher, Jessica Girma.
Jessica Girma had a deep impression of Viola Thompson and asked with a smile, “Viola, what are you doing here?”
“Buying something.” Viola Thompson replied.
Jessica Girma nodded and reminded her, “It’s getting late, and it’s not safe for a girl like you to be out. Go home early and don’t worry your family.” “Okay.” Viola Thompson nodded slightly, “I’ll go home, then. Goodbye, teachers.”
“Goodbye.”
Jessica Girma waved her hand.
Watching this scene, Ye Jun was a little stunned. Not until Viola Thompson’s figure gradually disappeared into the night did she turn to Jessica Girma and ask, “Do you know Viola Thompson?”
Jessica Girma nodded, “Yeah, she’s a new transfer student in our class.” “She transferred to your school? And in your class?” Ye Jun was very surprised.
“Do you know her too?” Jessica Girma was equally surprised.
Ye Jun continued, “Viola Thompson used to be a transient student in our class. Is she a transient student or a regular student in your class now?”
“A regular student.” Jessica Girma answered.
It turned out to be a regular student!
Viola Thompson really did everything to achieve her goal.
One could easily guess that Viola Thompson must have threatened the Thompson family with her liver transplant again.
Just because she had donated a liver to Emma once, she could exploit Emma without limits like this?!
Such despicable behavior is truly contemptible!
Ye Jun continued, “Students like her who come in through the back door will only lower the class’s average score. You are being so foolish! How could you let such a person transfer to your class?
“Backdoor? Are you misunderstanding something about Viola Thompson?” Jessica Girma frowned and then said, “She got admitted through a normal examination.”
Viola Thompson was able to pass the entrance exam for North Bridge High School?
That’s wishful thinking!
Ye Jun laughed directly, “Viola Thompson is Emma Thompson’s sister from our class, and I know her better than you do. She’s just a petty girl who thinks highly of herself but is good for nothing. She must have cheated!”
It’s normal for Jessica Girma not to know the inside story since the Thompson family directly sought the principal for backdoor cheating.
“It’s really not like that,” Jessica Girma explained. “You know our school’s enrollment rules. No one can cheat through the backdoor…’
Ye Jun shook her head helplessly, “Jessica Girma, you’ve been deceived. If you believe me, ask her to withdraw from school as soon as possible to minimize the loss, or you’ll regret it. If she were any good, I wouldn’t have let her leave our class for Emma Thompson’s sake.”
Jessica Girma was a very responsible teacher. “I’ve seen Viola Thompson’s exam papers, and it’s really not what you think. Since she’s now a part of our class, I’ll take full responsibility for her.”
Ye Jun was almost moved to tears by Jessica Girma’s foolishness. No wonder none of the students in the classes Jessica had taught over the years had ever achieved the top position in the College Entrance Examination.
That’s fate!
With a teacher like Jessica Girma, one could never hope to lead a top-ranking student.
Thinking of Emma Thompson becoming the top student in the College Entrance Examination next year, Ye Jun couldn’t help feeling proud. “As you wish, just don’t be jealous when Emma Thompson from our class becomes the top student in next year’s College Entrance Examination..”
