Everyone scoffed lightly.
Who do you think you are? It doesn’t matter if you’re here or not, so there’s no need to apologize.
However, Zeke was amused by all this.
The person standing before them was the esteemed guest of the day, Master Healer Lowe himself!
He was amused by how cold everyone was towards the Master Healer.
Dawn, who had been looking out of the window, suddenly spoke up. “Lacey? What’s going on outside?”
“Huh?” Lacey frowned and turned around to face the window.
To her surprise, the entrance to Linton Group, which had been completely empty just moments ago, was sudden filled to the brim with people chattering away loudly.
Her first instinct was to think that they had been sent by Mance Raider to stir up trouble.
She flew into a rage. “What a bully! He’s forcing us to do the unthinkable! We should go and talk to them.”
Lacey walked out of the building with a group of people behind her.
“What are you doing in front of our office?” she asked the crowd coldly. “You’re being a public nuisance which is punishable by law!”
However, the crowd’s reaction shocked her. “We’re here for your opening ceremony!”
Huh?
Lacey’s mind was filled with questions all of a sudden. “What opening ceremony? What are you talking about?”
The people in the crowd ignored her and started to call out to the Master Healer frantically.
“Mr. Lowe! You promised to give ten checkups for free!”
“Mr. Lowe, we came today just to meet you! Please don’t disappoint us!”
“Please save me, Mr. Lowe! My family needs me!”
The Master Healer nodded. “Don’t worry. I didn’t forget about my promise. I’ll pick ten of you later on for a free checkup.”
The crowd roared in excitement.
W-what’s going on?
Lacey and her party stood by in shock and disbelief.
Why are they calling that old geezer ‘Master Healer Lowe’, and why is he playing along with it?
Could he be the Master Healer himself?
Lacey looked at the Master Healer apprehensively and asked, “A-Are you the Master Healer?”
“I thought you recognize me, so I didn’t bother to introduce myself,” Master Healer Lowe replied. “Indeed, I am the Master Healer.”
Lacey was taken aback by the revelation.
It was a massive honor for the legendary healer to grace their opening ceremony with his presence, but they had given him the cold shoulder!
There’s hope for Linton Group!
Lacey regretted her actions deeply, yet she was undeniably excited.
“I apologize for disrespecting you, Mr. Lowe!” she said.
The Master Healer simply waved his hand and said, “No, I should be the one apologizing! I was tardy!”
“No, Mr. Lowe! You’re not tardy, you’re early!” Lacey said hurriedly.
“Hey! Where are our lanterns? Where did the stage go? What about the banner?” she asked, pretending to look around in confusion.
“Ms. Hinton, you told us to dismantle them just now...” the staff reminded her.
“Quick, restore them! We need to start our opening ceremony as soon as possible!” Lacey said quickly.
Meanwhile, Daniel was jittery with excitement.
He would never have dreamed to be in such close proximity with the Master Healer himself.
Daniel tried to go up to Master Healer Lowe and strike up a conversation, but his words got stuck at his throat whenever he glanced at the old man.
He did not have the courage to approach the Master Healer.
Witnessing Daniel’s hesitance, Zeke decided to intervene. “Mr. Lowe, our company still needs a medical consultant. Are you interested?”
“Of course! It would be my honor to serve Linton Group,” the Master Healer said gratefully.
Zeke nodded and pulled Daniel over. “This is Daniel Hinton, the manager of our services in the medical sector. You will be working under him from now onwards.”
Master Healer Lowe held Daniel’s hand tightly and said, “I look forward to working alongside you, Mr. Hinton!”
Daniel was on cloud nine.
The Master Healer had been his idol and muse, yet now he had become his subordinate.
Daniel’s happiness was overwhelming.
“M-Mr. Lowe, y-you’re being too polite!” he stammered.
Nancy walked over to Zeke’s side and stared at him in disbelief. “How did you know that the Master Healer is coming? Were you the one who invited him?”
That was the question that everyone was dying to ask.
