Chapter 87

“Mr. York, do you often get cramps? We’ve already called 911! Don’t worry…” The restaurant staff tried to calm him down. Elizabeth pushed through the crowd and walked in.

A group of people stared at her and scolded, “Why are you pushing in?” Voute dost here to watch, and you’re so… modern. “She’s covering herself,” they whispered, eyes full of sarcasm, openly questioning Elizabeth. Elizabeth glanced at them, feeling annoyed. People today were so hostile; they couldn’t go a few sentences without being sarcastic!

“I bet so much?” Nick York gritted his teeth. He had leg cramps before but was too busy to pay much attention! Most doctors diagnosed themselves and thought they were fine! But today, Nick’s condition worsened; this was the worst he’d ever experienced. The pain turned into numbness, like his entire leg was going to be crippled!

Elizabeth observed his twitching leg muscles and thought of acupuncture. She was confident that her acupuncture would give immediate relief. “Is there any way to stop the cramping?” How about a massage, suggested one of the staff. Everyone agreed, “Hurry up, call a masseuse!” Nick frowned deeply, knowing in this situation, a massage would only worsen the condition.

But as the waiter was about to call someone, and Nick was about to object, a firm female voice came from the crowd. “No massage! At this time, a massage would only worsen his condition!” Elizabeth shouted.

Everyone turned to look at Elizabeth, who was covered up tightly, looking quite strange! “Who are you? Why can’t he have a massage?” the waiter questioned Elizabeth, scrutinizing her. She was wrapped up so tightly that if she hadn’t spoken, it would be hard to even determine her gender.

Elizabeth stepped forward, took out acupuncture tools from her pocket, and squatted beside Nick. Lowering her voice and changing her tone, she asked, “Sir, I can help relieve your symptoms with acupuncture. Would you be willing?”

“You?” Nick questioned. Elizabeth nodded confidently. “Yes.” The onlookers started to chatter, “Who is she?” “Can she do it? That’s Nick, the top cardiac surgeon in Lisban!” “If something happens to Nick, she’ll be in big trouble!”

Chapter 07

“Even though we can’t see her face, she seems young. Young people these days are bold, even if their skills aren’t great!” Elizabeth ignored their comments and only looked at Nick. Although Nick couldn’t see Elizabeth’s face, he felt a sense of familiarity from her. Elizabeth’s way of speaking and confident demeanor were very reminiscent of Celine from the Percy family. Nick was a doctor and appreciated real medical skills. He thought, I’m willing to give this stranger a chance! After all, her daring to step up knowing his identity is already very bold!

“I am willing,” Nick said, already sweating profusely from the pain. After he answered, the room fell silent.
