Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Just then , an elderly man in a long robe , with a prominent nose and a long face , stepped into the Stevens family home .

He barked impatiently , Dont waste my time ! Wheres the patient ? I have other matters to attend to ! Irene rushed to greet him with a fawning smile , saying , You must be the renowned Dr.

Cedric Aicker front Jayrodale ! Please , Dr.

Aicker , have a seat and enjoy some tea before we begin ! She intended to flatter him , but Cedric merely shot her dismissively as if looking at a complete fool .

Are you dumb ? This is a matter of life and death .

Instead of rushing to save someone , youre offering tea ? Do you want the patient to die ? Irenes face flushed red with embarrassment as she shrank back meekly .

Christina and the others quickly led Cedric to examine Douglas .

After examining the patient from his seat by the bed , Cedrics brows furrowed in concentration .

Strange , very strange indeed … he muttered to himself .

Dr.

Aicker , whats strange ? Harvey asked .

Is it something beyond even your medical expertise ? Cedric exploded in anger .

Nonsense ! No one in all of Jayrodale can match my medical skills .

If I cant treat him , then nobody can ! Harveys face darkened with displeasure , but he dared not provoke Cedric further .

Please tell us whats wrong with Mr.

Stevens Senior , he asked , forcing patience into his voice .

Christina added anxiously , Please help my grandpa , Dr.

Aicker .

With your incredible skills , Im sure hell be fine .

An ugly smile spread across Cedrics weathered face as he said , At least this young lady speaks more sense than the rest of you fools .

Anyway , your grandpa is perfectly fine .
