Cedric was now lying unconscious in the bed. His hair was gray, and his face was wrinkled. His complexion showed that he was in poor health.
In particular, his cheeks and lips were pale. His deep-set eye sockets made him appear haggard and thin, which was a feature of long-term illness.
Fortunately, Cedric’s breathing was weak but steady, indicating his life was not in immediate danger.
Clinton picked up the medical kit on the table and stepped forward to begin Cedric’s treatment. He opened the medical kit with a thud, and various small tools and medicine neatly placed in the medical kit were all displayed in front of everyone.
The left half of the kit was full of traditional medicine and special needle treatment, which belonged to the traditional medicine system. On the right side of the kit were scalpels, tweezers, sewing needles, other tools, and many modern medicine, which belonged to the modern medicine system.
Clinton knew both traditional medicine and modern medicine, and he could work in any hospital in Dragon Kingdom after studying abroad.
Rose said nothing, watching Clinton treat his grandfather, Cedric.
Sherman came over and said in a hushed voice, “I’m sorry, Mr. George. My eldest brother’s temper has always been like that. Don’t take it personally. He’s not a bad person, but he’s too competitive to allow others to be better than him…”
“I understand,” Rose said with a nod.
Sherman then told Rose about his grandfather Cedric’s illness.
“My grandfather, Cedric Yale, suddenly became bedridden four years ago. We’ve taken him to many major hospitals across the country, but they couldn’t find the cause of his illness…”
“Many famous doctors have treated him, but his condition has worsened day by day instead of improving. In the past year or so, my grandpa would slip into a coma from time to time. We’re worried that he will suddenly die one day…”
Listening to Sherman’s explanation, Rose got lost in thought.
