The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1082

The sheer will to live among these patients was terrifyingly strong.

But then again, people like Kendrick were wealthy and had dedicated family doctors.

Even with top-tier medical care, they couldn't fully cure their rheumatism. If a poor person contracted this disease, the agony would plague them for the rest of their life.

Actually, they might not even last that long; they would likely just give up when the pain became unbearable.

As Claire massaged the old man's legs with the medicinal oil she brought, she fell deep in thought.

The efficacy of this medicinal oil was extraordinary.

Maybe she could have Owen look into mass-producing it.

Hale's medicinal oil for dispelling wind and dampness was legendary.

Producing it on a larger scale could benefit countless people.

After massaging Kendrick for half an hour, Claire asked how he felt.

He gave her a massive thumbs-up. "You truly are Hale's successor."

"After your massage, it feels like my legs have finally come back to life."

It was nothing short of a miracle.

Kendrick sighed in pure relief; he hadn't felt this comfortable in years.

Unless he was sitting under a heat lamp at home, his legs constantly felt like they were submerged in a freezing lake.

"Claire, could you teach this technique to my family doctor?"

"And I'll buy this medicinal oil from you."

"Don't worry, I won't short you a single cent."

Truthfully, Kendrick wanted to keep Claire on retainer as his personal physician.

But with Dane sitting right there, he knew better than to even suggest it.

Forget Claire—Dane himself would never allow his girlfriend to become someone's on-call private doctor.

"Of course. Whenever you find a doctor or nurse you trust, I'll teach them the technique."

"I'll leave this oil with you as well. If you get a massage twice a day, you'll feel a noticeable difference within a month."

"As for the acupuncture—"

Before Claire could finish, Kendrick interrupted her. "Acupuncture isn't something just anyone can learn. You'll have to do that yourself."

Kendrick understood the unwritten rules.

Claire's skills were genuinely masterful.

"You two should stay for dinner tonight. I'll call the family doctor over right now, and Claire can teach him the massage technique later?"

Kendrick was overwhelmingly grateful to her.

He genuinely wanted her to stay for dinner so they could build a better relationship.

With the chaotic crowd yesterday, he hadn't gotten a chance to properly assess the situation.

Claire glanced at Dane.

Dane smiled and smoothly declined. "Kendrick, we have plans tonight. Baldrick is also expecting Claire home for dinner."

"We'll have to take a raincheck."

"Besides, Claire will be coming here once a week from now on. There will be plenty of time for dinner."

Kendrick thought about it and realized he shouldn't interrupt the young couple's date night.

"Alright, next time then. But about the family doctor..."

Kendrick was worried the doctor wouldn't make it in time.

"Grandpa, I'll learn it!"
