The Luckiest Dumb Doctor - Chapter 144
Chapter 144: Chapter 144: You Misunderstood 1
Greg Jensen heard the words and immediately perked up. If he wanted to open a hotel in the city, talent was indispensable.
Since Kingsley Harrison could be a deputy general manager, running a hotel shouldn’t be a big problem.
If he could recruit him back, it would save a lot of trouble.
“You start packing up. After I wash my face, we’ll head out. I’ll tell you something on the way,”
Greg said, then hurried into the restroom.
Lois Abbott found it strange, as Greg was always the type to not get out of bed unless he had had enough sleep, unless there was something important. What was going on today?
Why was he so excited?
It was as if a shark had smelled blood.
It wasn’t long before Greg had tidied himself up and then, grabbing Lois, got into the car.
“What did you want to talk to me about?”
Hehe, didn’t I tell you before? I want to open another hotel in the city. I think now is the right time,”
At these words, Lois couldn’t help but express shock, “How is it the right time now? We don’t have any money.”
“Hehe, don’t worry about the money. It should be in our account in a few days,” Greg said with a smile.
Lois exclaimed in surprise, “I’ve calculated it. Opening a hotel in the city would cost at least four or five million in capital. Where are you going to find so much money?”
“Kenny Walker’s…”
Greg didn’t hide it and immediately recounted the affair regarding Kenny Walker’s assets.
After hearing this, Lois was dumbfounded and muttered, “Can you even do that?”
Isn t that very normal? Anyway, Kenny Walker’s assets are already in our hands, how we handle them is our business.”
“That’s true…”
Lois pondered aloud, “If we really can get that much money, then this is indeed worth a try.”
The two discussed the hotel matter and soon arrived at Kingsley Harrison’s home.
“Lois, what brings you here?”
At over fifty years of age, Kingsley Harrison appeared somewhat haggard, but upon seeing Lois, a happy smile spread across his face.
Uncle Kingsley, my dad heard that Grandpa Harrison is seriously ill, so he specifically asked me to come and visit,”
Lois said with a mischievous smile, “I was in such a hurry I forgot to buy a gift.”
Kingsley Harrison laughed, “I’m happy as long as you’re here. Gifts or no gifts, it doesn’t matter, come in.”
He invited them to sit down in the living room, then went to the kitchen to wash some fruit.
Lois grabbed an apple and began to eat.
Kingsley Harrison glanced at Greg and said with a smile, “You must be Lois’s boyfriend, right? Have some fruit.”
Lois laughed, “Haha, Uncle Kingsley, don’t mind him. He’s the gift I brought for you; he doesn’t need any fruit.”
Kingsley Harrison looked at her reproachfully and said, “How can you speak about someone like that?”
Lois laughed, “Uncle Kingsley, I’m not kidding. He really is the gift I brought you. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you ask him?”
Kingsley Harrison paused, turning to look at Greg.
Seeing this, Greg hurriedly explained, “Uncle Kingsley, don’t listen to her nonsense. Here’s the thing, I know some medicine, and Uncle Webb heard that the old man was ill, so he asked me to come over and take a look.”
“You’re a doctor?”
“Yes, I’m a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.”
When Kingsley Harrison learned Greg was a doctor, his eyes immediately lit up, but learning that he practiced traditional Chinese medicine caused his expression to dim again.
He was about to say something when suddenly a middle-aged woman who also looked worn with fatigue and had a face full of exhaustion, came out from an inner room.
“Aunt Kingsley.”
“Oh my, Iris is here. Sit down, make yourself comfortable.”
Kylie Lampe’s face lit up with a smile before she turned to Kingsley Harrison and said, “Help me turn my dad over when we go in, and I’ll wipe his back as well.”
“Hmm.”
Kingsley Harrison nodded.
Greg Jensen hesitated and said, “Uncle Kingsley, why don’t we go check on the old man first?”
“This…” Kingsley Harrison hesitated.
Kylie Lampe gave Greg a look and then asked with a smile, “Are you Iris’s boyfriend?”
Lois Abbott saw Kingsley Harrison’s concerns and explained with a smile, “Yes, he is also a doctor. It was he who cured my father’s illness.”
Upon hearing her words, Kingsley Harrison was taken aback and said in astonishment, “Your father’s illness was cured by him?”
“Yes, we saw so many doctors and none could do anything, but then Greg made all the difference.”
“Oh, I see.”
Kingsley Harrison was much more at ease and smiled, “Then let’s go see how the old man is doing.”
Kylie Lampe’s expression shifted subtly as she smiled and said, “You all sit for
a while, I need to speak to Uncle Kingsley.”
Having said that, she pulled Kingsley Harrison into the next room.
Lois expressed her apology, “Greg, I’m sorry, huh.”
“It’s okay. I’m young, so it’s normal for them not to believe in my medical skills.”
Greg knew what Lois meant. He just shook his head with a smile, all the while keeping his ears perked, trying to catch what the couple was discussing.
With his hearing far better than an ordinary person, Kylie’s words fell distinctly into his ears.
“Old Zhang, he’s so young. How could you let him treat Dad?”
“What’s the problem? Dad is already like this. What harm is there in letting him have a look? Old Webb made a special effort to bring him here. We can’t just not let him see, can we?
Besides, you saw Old Webb’s condition at the beginning. If he could cure Old
Webb, maybe he could cure our dad too?”
“But…”
“Alright, I know you’re worried about Dad’s health. Now, we can only hope for a miracle.”
“Okay then.”
A moment later, the couple emerged from the room, donning genuine smiles on their faces once again.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to see the old man.”
“Alright.”
Greg Jensen and Lois Abbott stood up and followed them into the master bedroom.
The air in the room carried a faint stale smell that was so light ordinary people wouldn’t notice it.
An elderly man with graying hair lay on the sickbed, an oxygen mask covering his face, breathing faintly, with a monitor placed beside him.
The man’s skin was extremely pale with not a hint of color, indicating he had been in a coma for a long time.
Kingsley Harrison and Kylie had purposefully not mentioned the old man’s condition, wanting to see if Greg could figure it out.
Greg was fully aware of this and thus didn’t ask. He walked over to the elderly man, examined his pupils, and took his pulse.
Finally, he gently shifted the old man’s head to glance at the back of his skull.
Turning back around, he inquired, “Did the old man have a fall? A hit causing a brain hemorrhage, increased intracranial pressure? A mass compressing the nerves, which is why he hasn’t awakened yet?”
Kingsley Harrison’s face brightened, and he said with a smile, “Exactly, that’s the cause. Young Greg’s medical skills are indeed not bad.”
Kylie Lampe frowned, suspecting that Adeline Conner might have told Greg about the old man’s condition.
Greg was silent for a moment, then spoke, “The old man’s condition has been neglected too long. If it were addressed earlier, it might have been simpler, but now…”
Kingsley Harrison’s heart leapt into his throat, looking at Greg with a face full of tension, like an accused awaiting sentence.
Kylie Lampe simply sighed in resignation, her expression growing colder. She said calmly, “After all these years, the old man’s condition has become hopeless. If it can’t be cured, then it can’t be cured.”
“Uh, Aunt Kylie, you might have misunderstood…”
