Chapter 181
At first, the seniors and leading authorities in medicine didn't want to get involved in this. After all, they were all busy with scientific research. To them, time was even more valuable than gold, so why would they be willing to waste time watching a cock and bull story that couldn't possibly come true?
However, Matt and Felix had donated a lot of money to local medical foundations and medical research institutes over these years for the purpose of tax evasion. At their spoken requests, these people had no choice but to agree to be present at the scene for fear of offending them. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The instant the bigwigs in medicine accepted the invitation, it caused a huge sensation in Cleapolis. Even those who weren't part of the medical community got wind of what was going to happen.
The next day, many news outlets began to ride on the hype of this matter, filling the headlines with eye- catching news titles like 'A 20-Year-Old Youth Claimed He Could Bring the Dead Back to Life! Could This Be a Hoax?' 'A Major Breakthrough in Medicine? Could a Man Who'd Been Paralyzed for Over 10 Years Have a Chance to Stand on His Feet Again?' and 'Traditional Medicine Reduced to Clown's Vaudeville? Is the Passing on of Knowledge in Traditional Medicine Necessary?'.
Seeing the articles on the news websites, Matt and Felix grinned from ear to ear in pleasure. The greater the hype, the better! The more people know about this, the more humiliated Kingsley will be, and the happier we'll be!
At first, those leading authorities in medicine didn't take this to heart. At this moment, however, they could no longer sit still upon seeing that the news media had begun to sensationalize the passing on of skills and knowledge in traditional medicine. As a result, they all declared that they would personally teach the conceited and ignorant young man a lesson to restore the name of Qustia's traditional medicine.
For a time, Hill Crest Hospital's hotline was almost overwhelmed by calls from all the associations, research institutes, medical centers, and development committees. Not only that, but countless letters from all walks of life also came flooding in.
Upon seeing this, Jeffred, the director of Hill Crest Hospital, was close to tears with worry. At the thought of how over 100 leading medical experts and authorities, as well as his fellows in the medical community, would be visiting his hospital tomorrow, he felt that his head was going to explode. Of course, he didn't believe that Kingsley had such capabilities, but he dared not say anything at the thought of the Larsons and the Foxes' wealth and influence. Leaning back in the sofa, he sighed sorrowfully to himself. Hill Crest Hospital will probably become the laughing stock of my fellows in medicine after the exhibition tomorrow. I wonder how long I can stay in my position as hospital director…
On the other hand, though, Kingsley was completely unaware of all of this. He was still at home, pondering how to smoothly capture the website's administrator and the other three members of Earthworm.
It wasn't until Alice came over in the evening with food she had bought for him that he finally heard about this from her.
Seeing Kingsley sitting cross-legged on the sofa in a completely unperturbed manner, Alice couldn't help but say anxiously, "Kingsley, how could you not be worried at all? Do you know how many people are gonna be there tomorrow to watch you make a fool of yourself? I saw people from TV stations and news websites waiting outside when I left the hospital just now! If you don't hurry up and find a way soon, you'll become a universally condemned blowhard tomorrow!" Upon speaking of this, she took a deep breath and continued with a terror-stricken expression, "It's okay if you're only defined as a
blowhard. If they charge you with profaning traditional medicine or medical quackery, you're gonna have a criminal record!"
Seeing the worry written all over Alice's clear, big eyes, Kingsley let out a chuckle. "Alice, do you disbelieve me that much? I'm really sure that I can cure Mr. Johnson."
"Are you taking me for a fool?" Alice raised her eyebrows in anger. "I'm a doctor! Even if I specialize in cardiac surgery, I can tell at a glance whether or not that patient can be cured!"
"What if I can cure his paralysis?" Kingsley leaned over to Alice. "Alice, how are you gonna reward me?"
Alice's anger vanished in an instant when she saw how Kingsley asked her for a reward. Poking his forehead affectionately, she replied in resignation, "You're already an adult, but now you look just like when you were asking for sweets as a boy."
"I'm not asking for sweets! I've got to ask for something else. He he…" Kingsley said while leaning closer to Alice. Sniffing the mixture of disinfectants and her unique body scent, he continued with a cheeky grin, "Seriously, Alice, if I can cure him, how are you gonna reward me?"
