Chapter 407 Tentative
Still, there was reaction from Samuel. Kathleen sighed and poked his face with her finger.
“You’ve fallen into a coma because you thought I was dead, right? But now, I'm right in front of you.Why won't you open your eyes and look at me?” He's such a headache! She lost her patience soon.
“I'm ignoring you! I have a lot of things to do, and I don’t have time to keep you company.If you don't wake up soon, I'll leave you here, and you’ll be all alone!” After a few moments, she still received no response.
“Samuel, please wake up.Let's fall into a deep slumber together after we die, but not now.You have to wake up, okay?” Kathleen took his hand and pressed it against her face, her voice hoarse.
” What should I do if you stay in a coma forever? Samuel remained motionless.The only noise that echoed in the room was his breathing. She blinked her moist eyes and fumed, “D*mn you,Samuel.I'm going to leave you here!”
Upon finishing her sentence, she turned to leave and went to her bedroom. Her things had just been moved into the room. She took two of her medical books before going to look for Zion, who had just returned from his walk around the manor.
“Kathleen, this manor is huge.I've been walking forever, yet I haven't even toured half of it.” He wiped the sweat on his forehead.
“You should take care of your health.Don't think you're fine now and tire yourself out.” Kathleen handed him the medical books and continued, “Read these two books and memorize the contents.I'll give you a spot test a few days later.If you fail to memorize the points, I won't accept you as my apprentice.”
Zion held the books in his arms like they were the most precious treasure in the world.
“Don’t worry.I have a sharp memory.Just give me a week, and I'll memorize everything like the back of my hand.” Kathleen chuckled.
“Stop bluffing.A week? These two books may not look thick, but I bet you’d at least need a month.”
“I’ll prove it to you then!” Zion was determined.
“Fine,” she replied indifferently.
“Where are you going?” he asked curiously.
“I'm going to check on Yareli.”
“I'll go with you!” He caught up with her.
“Why are you tagging along?” She looked at him in surprise.
“I want to watch how you treat patients.”
“I'm just like any other doctor.The only thing different about me is that I excel at both traditional and modern medicine.I'm not that impressive,” she said wryly.
Does he think I have a special way to treat my patients? As they talked, they reached Yareli’s ward.It was one of the rooms that was situated on the first floor. Florinia Manor was huge, with around a dozen rooms on the first floor.
Thus, Kathleen transformed some of the rooms on the first floor into her office and wards. Yareli lay motionless on her sickbed. Kathleen checked her pulse with a solemn expression before examining her eyes and body. Zion imitated her and felt Yareli's pulse, too. Kathleen lifted her eyebrow.
“Well? What do you think?”
“Her pulse is weak.I can't feel anything at times,” he uttered with a frown, unsure whether his observation was accurate or not.
“That's a sign of poisoning.”
As she spoke, she took a scroll out and spread it open, revealing a row of silver needles. She took one of the silver needles and jabbed it in between the thumb and forefinger of Yareli's right hand.
Moments later, a bulge appeared on Yareli's abdomen which began moving. When Zion saw that, he felt goosebumps all over his skin.
“What is that?”
“That’s just a parasite.Don't make a huge fuss.” She glanced at him.
“Oh.” He tried his best to stay calm.
Although he knew about parasites,that was the first time he ever saw one in real life.
After Kathleen removed the silver needle, the bulge in Yareli's abdomen disappeared. Zion queried in shock, “Kathleen, is this the reason she remains unconscious?”
