The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

As soon as Elaine heard that Jason had brought a renowned doctor to their ward, she shrieked in excitement and said, "Oh, Jason, thank you so much! Thank you for coming, Dr. Lynch!" 3

Jason smiled lightly and said, "You’re welcome, I'm just offering some help whenever I can."

Then, he turned and respectfully said to Joshua behind him, "Dr. Lynch, this is Uncle Jacob, please check on him."

Joshua stepped forward and said in a confident tone, " Don't worry, he hurt his spine, didn’t he? Although it sounds like a horrible injury, I can assure you it's a piece of cake for me." 4 Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The doctor gasped in surprise. "As far as I’m concerned, no one can cure spinal injuries. Even the richest people in the world can only lie on the bed after they have injured their spine. Just look at Stephen Hawking-he is so bright and awesome, but he's only able to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life and can only move three fingers due to motor neuron disease. Why are you so confident?" 4

Joshua laughed and said in an arrogant tone," Because I have a magical elixir. If the patient takes it, he will recover in no time." 5

Then, he reached into his bag and carefully retrieved a

crystal clear pill that was cut in half.

He lifted it into the air and said pompously, "Look, this is the magical elixir I've developed! It can even revive a vegetative person, let alone cure a spinal injury!" 1

Claire, who was sobbing quietly, asked, "Does the pill really work?"

"Of course!" Joshua stroked his beard and said, "This i s the world's number one magical elixir. It was made with the essence of life and painstaking effort by an expert with great medical skills before he passed away. It's a priceless treasure. If it wasn’t for Mr.

Grant, I would never have taken this medicine out." 5

Charlie grinned after he saw the small pill in Joshua’s hand.

It was the pill from his preliminary refining attempts t o heal Jacob's injury earlier, wasn't it? 1

The effect of the pill was actually one-tenth of the actual product. It was good enough for the general injuries, but it would not work wonders on serious injuries and illnesses.

He found it rather funny when Joshua treated it like a n invaluable treasure. He even held it so carefully for fear that he would break and damage it.

However, Charlie shrugged indifferently-it was just a stupid little pill that he could mass produce as much a s he wanted! 3

The magical elixir that he had refined for the second time could indeed heal Jacob's spinal injury and make him recover, but he was certain that the halffinished product in Joshua’s hand would fail. 3

Hence, Charlie shook his head and said, "Forget it, Dr. Lynch. You can't cure my father-in-law’s injury with your pill."

Jason sneered contemptuously. "Charlie, who the f*ck do you think you are? How dare you question Dr. Lynch's authority here?!"

Joshua laughed loudly like he had just heard the funniest joke ever and said, "Buddy, just shut up if you don't know anything. Do you know Anthony Simmons, the famous Chinese medicine expert?

His old injuries were cured by my magical elixir! This is the special drug that even medicine experts recognize but you're calling it useless! Don't make me laugh!" 4

Everyone in the ward gasped in extreme shock!

Who was Anthony Simmons?

He was the eminent authority in Chinese medicine. His medical skills were superb and he had helped a lot of people throughout his life. He didn't accept just any case, and even if one was rich and powerful, it didn't mean that they could see him as they pleased!

Even his own injuries that he was helpless of were cured by the magical elixir developed by Dr. Lynch! How amazing was that?!

And now, Charlie had the nerve to say that the pill didn't work?! He was kidding, right?!
