The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 920
After hearing everything, Neera gained clarity. So, this is indeed the reason why he sought me out. However, the origin of this old man remains a mystery. Adding the situation with the wug, it's really rare. Who knows what kind of trouble will ensue?
After a brief moment of consideration, Neera quickly and politely declined, “I'm sorry, Mr. Saunders. I know you came to me with hope, but unfortunately, I've been quite busy lately and can't spare the time at the moment. Moreover, I've only managed to temporarily suppress your illness, not fully understand it. So, I'm afraid I might disappoint you. I kindly suggest you seek help from a more skilled professional.”
Her rejection did not surprise Willard.
He could tell that she was still on guard against him, and he understood that what was inside him was indeed too rare.
Left with no choice, he had to reveal his true identity.
“Ms. Garcia, please don't rush to reject me. I know you have doubts, especially about my identity. In fact, there's really nothing I can't share.” Willard let out a sigh. “The Saunders family, in fact, is an ancient medical family hidden within the country. Hundreds of years ago, during the peak of ancient medical skills, the Saunders family was renowned. However, as ancient medical skills gradually declined, so did our family's reputation. Now, we're no longer as illustrious as before. Later on, some changes occurred within the Saunders family. We lost our standing in the medical profession and feared retaliation from our rivals. Left with no choice, we had to hide abroad, and after much turmoil, we ended up here...”
It seemed he was worried that what he was saying was too out of touch with the present, so, fearing Neera wouldn't believe him, he quickly reassured, “Ms. Garcia, what I've told you might be hard to digest all at once, but I swear on my family that everything I've said is true. If you don't believe me, you're more than welcome to send someone to investigate in our home country.”
Neera didn't find it all that fantastical.
She already knew about the affairs of the ancient medical families.
However, what surprised her was that this person was actually from an ancient medical family.
Over the years, apart from the Meyer family's siblings she met at the World Medical Alliance, she really hadn't encountered anyone else.
Rumor had it that within those ancient medical families, there might be even more precious ancient medical texts hidden, ones that even the alliance didn't possess!
At that thought, Neera felt a stir of excitement. Her interest was finally piqued.
However, she didn't let it show on her face. Instead, she continued to probe with a calm demeanor, “Mr. Saunders, you claim to be a descendant of an ancient medical family, so how is it that you can't treat your own illness and instead come looking for me? Doesn't that seem a bit illogical?”
Willard understood her doubts. He hesitated for a moment, then explained with a bitter smile on his face, “I've said it before. The heyday of ancient medical skills is a thing of the past. The ancient medical families of today are no longer what they used to be. Moreover, with the decline of the ancient medical families, many ancient medical texts have become indecipherable due to some unique characters and the obscurity of the language. Therefore, there are many complex and puzzling conditions that even I cannot unravel! In terms of interpretation, the party with the most widely deciphered ancient medical texts now should be the World Medical Alliance!”
His words were indeed the truth.
Neera's long eyelashes hung down slightly.
If given the opportunity to delve deeper into ancient medical texts, it would be an absolute blessing for her.
As it happened, Eugene was well-versed in the obscure ancient medical texts.
Over the years, she often hung around Eugene and had learned quite a bit in the process.
At that moment, she had already made up her mind, yet she feigned careful consideration on her face.
After a long while, she finally conceded. “Mr. Saunders, since you've asked in such a way, I can agree. However, treating you is possible, but it comes with a cost.”
Willard's face lit up with joy. He nodded excitedly. “Sure! It doesn't matter how much money you want. Just name your price!”
Neera shook her head, calmly saying, “I don't want money! However, if possible, I hope that after the treatment, you can lend me your family's treasured ancient medical books for a read. To be honest, I've long wanted to learn these ancient medical skills.”
After a brief moment of consideration, Neera quickly and politely declined, “I'm sorry, Mr. Saunders.
