The moment James spoke, a young member of the Hills stepped forward and rebuked him. “James, grandpa’s doing fine and is in good health. How could you say he’s in terrible shape? Are you trying to jinx him?”
“That’s right!”
“This guy doesn’t know anything about medicine.”
“Get lost.”
Dissatisfied, the rest of the Hills chastised James.
“Who’s the one bullsh*tting?”
A voice came.
A tall and skinny middle-aged man in a white mandarin jacket walked in.
“You’re here, Dr. Lincoln.”
Everyone stood up.
Even Jedidiah stood and greeted the man.
The man’s name was Yitzchak Lincoln. He was a doctor from Cansington who was highly paid by Cyrus to provide medical treatment to Jedidiah.
It was due to Yitzchak’s medicine that Jedidiah slowly regained his strength over the past few years.
Yitzchak looked at Cyrus and greeted him, “Mr. Cyrus.”
He then turned and greeted Jedidiah, “A good day to you, Mr. Jedidiah.”
Lastly, he fixed his gaze on James with a look of disdain. “All these years, Mr. Jedidiah has been nourishing his body based on my remedies. Although he’s over eighty years of age, he’s still in good health. I wouldn’t be surprised if he lives for another twenty years.”
“Exactly, Dr. Lincoln’s a member of the Doctor’s Association in Cansington and was an attending physician of a large hospital. If not for our connections, we wouldn’t be able to get him here.”
“Dr. Lincoln, I’ve been feeling fatigued for the past few days. If you have time, please take my pulse and prescribe medication so that I may nourish my body.”
The Hills were currying favor with Yitzchak.
James, on the other hand, glanced at him. “So, you were the one recklessly prescribing medication for grandpa?”
“What? Recklessly prescribing medication?”
Upon hearing this, Yitzchak’s face darkened, and he barked, “Do you even practice medicine?”
Cyrus, too, wore a surly expression. “Apologize to Dr. Lincoln immediately, James. He’s been in the profession for twenty years. How could you possibly compare to him?”
