No matter who it was, nobody would dare to offend a doctor.
However, Pierre was different. He felt that he did not need Johann's help with treatment now. Moreover, without the help of Luca, he would find it difficult to stand up normally. He just decided to go for it, and he did not care anymore.
Johann loosened his clenched fist. If he could, he really wanted to punch him in the face!
However, he could not do that because he was a doctor. No matter how capable a doctor he was, if he laid hands on a patient, his career in A City would be over.
Johann took a deep breath, pulled a chair over, and sat down. As the rage in his eyes dissipated, he looked at Pierre again. This time, his gaze contained a hint of mockery.
"Mr. Pierre, how important do you think your reputation is, anyway?" asked Johann.
Pierre noticed Johann’s tone had changed, and he could not help but wonder if this was some kind of magic trick? How could his emotions shift so easily?
"I just want you to ask Luca, that bitch, to perform dry needling on me. Is that such a difficult thing? She was able to perform dry needling treatment for your patient before, so why can't she do it for me now?"
"Let me make this clear. Luca helping that patient with dry needling wasn't about preserving my or your brother's reputation. It was because she wanted to help your sister-in-law." Johann knew that Pierre had always harbored ill feelings toward Nina, so he emphasized that she was his sister-in-law.
Pierre's expression turned ugly when he heard Johann emphasize that Luca could not be bothered about the Mallory family and that Nina was his sister-in-law.
"Jean got into trouble, and your sister-in-law took the heat for it. That's why Luca stepped in to help. Otherwise, do you really think Dr. Craw would have the time to deal with some troublemaker's problems?
"She doesn't waste her time on troublemakers or on rich kids like you. Simply put, she's not obligated to treat you. She's not a hospital doctor, and you can't force her to treat you, got it?
"Mr. Pierre, you're not a kid anymore, so why haven't you grasped such a simple thing? I suggest you wise up, accept the physical therapy I've arranged for you, and aim for the best recovery possible."
After Johann said that, he immediately rose to his feet.
"Answer me one more question," Pierre quickly added when he saw Johann was about to leave.
Johann stopped in his tracks and turned around. The smile in his eyes was already gone.
He could not bring himself to smile at someone like Pierre. He had never seen someone as shameless as him!
"Yes?" asked Johann. He was wondering how to make Pierre give up.
What he said just now was meant to discourage Pierre, but it inadvertently sparked another plan in his mind.
"If Luca agrees to help me with dry needling, can my leg recover?" asked Pierre.
"As a doctor, I can't answer such hypothetical questions. Even if someone were a genius or a miracle doctor, they wouldn't dare to guarantee they can definitely cure someone.
"All I can say is, with Dr. Craw's help, you should be able to stand up and walk normally. But there might still be issues when it's windy or rainy,” replied Johann.
Even after a fracture had healed, there might be some residual effects. For instance, the previously fractured area might ache during bad weather. However, with good care and if the fracture was not severe, these effects would be minimal.
"Just hearing that from you is enough!" Pierre's expression darkened. As long as he could stand up and walk normally, he did not care about any residual effects.
He just needed to be a normal person!
After all, the Mallory family did not need a cripple as their heir. It would be hard for people to trust a cripple in business partnerships.
He had to become normal.
Johann frowned. When he saw the look on Pierre’s face, he suddenly had a bad feeling. Should he not have said those words?
