Chapter 270
Hard Life Emily did not know about Chase Smith’s discovery. For the next two days, she became a little busy. She had been working at Hawking Family’s medical center, plus the appreciation of Mr. Hawking and Master Meng, which made her famous in Y City. Nowadays, many people came to see her every day. Emily originally did not want to treat these people. After all, she could not be considered a master yet.
However, she could not stand the pleading, especially when she saw those old grannies who were as old as her grandmother were tortured to the point that they looked inhuman, so she could not bear it. In the end, she agreed to see a doctor. However, in order to make it convenient and not affect the other households, she only treated ten people every day. That evening, Emily finished the treatment and went to make dinner. Not long after, the doorbell rang again. She heard it and ordered the two little ones to open the door. “Ethan, Sofia, go and see who is knocking on the door.” “Got it.” The two little ones answered and ran towards the door. When they opened the door, they saw a haggard old granny and a young man with an impatient face.
Ethan saw that the two were here to see his mother. He politely reminded them, “Grandma, today’s consultation is over. You can come back tomorrow.”
Without waiting for the old lady to speak, the young man became picky. “What lousy place? It’s not a hospital. Why are there so many rules.” “Shut up!” The old lady immediately scolded the young man, and then she couldn’t help but cough, and the more she coughed, the angrier she became. “Ethan, what’s wrong?” Lucy heard the noise in the living room and walked out worriedly.
“Great-Grandma, this old lady is here to see Mommy. She doesn’t seem to be in a good condition. Do you want to ask Mommy to come out and have a look?” Sofia looked at the old lady who was already coughing until her face was red, and she
was a little confused.
Lucy couldn’t bear it and said to the two children, “Take her to the sofa and sit down. I will call your mother out.” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the kitchen. Behind her, the old woman thanked her with difficulty.
When Emily learned that a patient had come, she quickly put down the spatula in her hand and followed her grandmother out.
As soon as she went out, the scene in front of her made her frown with displeasure.
It was because the young man who came with the old granny was like a local ruffian. He had no manners at all and was flipping around in the living room.
The old lady sat at the side awkwardly. She wanted to scold her son, but she did not have any authority over him. However, when the young man saw Emily, his eyes lit up. He rubbed his hands and walked over, “Are you that miracle doctor?” “I won’t call myself that. I’m just someone who knows a little about medicine.” Emily did not like the way this person looked at her. She turned to look at the old lady and asked, “Give me your hand. I’ll take your pulse first.” When the old lady heard this, she was very grateful. She extended her hand and thanked her.
In the end, she was embarrassed and said, “I know that Doctor Armstrong only takes in ten patients every day, but I really couldn’t make it during the day. My family is poor, and my son is useless. He doesn’t have a stable job. The daughter-in-law also ran away with someone, leaving a grandson behind. Now the whole family counts on me. I have to collect trash every day to sell.” Hearing this, Emily felt deep sympathy for the old lady and disliked the young man next to her. On the other hand, when the young man heard that the old lady had directly exposed him, he immediately changed his face. “You’re here to see a doctor, not a therapist!”
After that, he revealed a smile that he thought was very handsome to Emily and defended himself. “Don’t listen to my mother’s nonsense. I am not useless. I have been studying a project. If I succeed, I can become rich overnight.” Emily was not willing to pay any attention to him. She gave a perfunctory nod and concentrated on treating the old lady. After taking the pulse, she asked a few more questions. In her heart, she understood the old lady’s illness.
“Your illness has been accumulated over the years. In addition, now that you are old, many of the organs in your body have begun to age. You can’t afford to overwork yourself. That’s why you sometimes feel pain in your heart, chest tightness, head dizziness, and sometimes even short- sightedness. It is difficult to cure your illness. You need to take your time to recuperate and stop doing heavy work.”
“I have to do heavy work. The family needs me.”
The old lady shook her head helplessly.
* When Emily heard this, she looked at the young man who was playing with his phone
on the sofa and could not help but shake her head. People often say you should have children so that they can take care of you when you get old. How ironic! But in the end, it was not her own family, so she did not say anything. She just urged, “How about this, I will prescribe you medicine for two days first. You eat it first, adjust your body first, and try not to do heavy work as much as possible. I will not make any money from you, just pay me the cost of the herbs.” “Thank you, doctor, thank you.” The old lady was very grateful.
