Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 9

Upon hearing this, Simon felt embarrassed.

He had originally asked Leonard to come out of retirement, and Leonard had sent his disciple to treat his wife, which Simon was already grateful for.

Although the girl was indeed a bit young, her reputation in recent years had been built on her medical skills. She had just arrived, and now James was bringing another doctor, which made it seem as though Simon didn't trust her abilities.

Elena felt apologetic too. She held Lillian's hand and gently patted her hand to comfort her.

Though Simon was displeased, he still felt the need to show respect to his brother-in-law, so he said, "James, I've already invited a traditional medicine doctor. If your friend doesn't mind, why not sit down and have some coffee?"

James was taken aback for a moment, then laughed dismissively, "Simon, you're too old-fashioned. Who still believes in traditional medicine these days?"

"Traditional medicine? How could traditional medicine treat Mrs. Carter's condition?" Larry also laughed, pushing up his glasses. He glanced at Elena and coldly added, "I'm afraid her leg's condition is not something that can be treated by a few needles for show."

"Yeah, Simon," James continued, "Where's the traditional medicine doctor you invited? Let's hear how he plans to treat it."

Lillian's expression immediately became colder. She didn't mind James inviting someone else to treat Elena. After all, he was Elena's brother, and as long as the illness could be cured, she couldn't object.

But their attitude toward traditional medicine was disrespectful, their words dripping with disdain and superiority, which made Lillian very displeased.

Simon's face turned awkward, but he didn't respond to them. Instead, he sincerely apologized to Lillian, saying, "Ms. Harrington, I'm sorry, James meant well, wanting to cure my wife. Please bear with any offense."

James froze in shock and exclaimed, "Simon, the traditional medicine doctor you're talking about is not this young lady, is it?"

Larry also looked incredulous. They had expected that someone of Simon's status would have invited an elderly doctor for traditional medicine, or at least someone they could recognize, and then maybe they would show them some respect and let them try treating the patient.

But the young girl standing before them was only in her teens! They found it hard to believe that she was truly a doctor, let alone the traditional medicine expert Simon had personally invited.

"Yes," Simon nodded, not wanting to say much more.

James had indeed been rude, and Larry was a bit arrogant; neither of them liked the situation.
