Mighty soldier king (Peter Wang)

Chapter 44

"Doctor Wu, I didn't mean that I don't believe you, but you said you couldn't cure Grace, so I want to

give others a chance, " James explained politely.

Doctor Wu trembled in anger but decided to stay silent. Since he had already done everything he

could, it made sense to give way to others.

"Fine, I'll wait here. Let's see if he is really as good as he boasts, " Doctor Wu murmured and sat at the

corner.

Audrey's aunt calmed down and likewise sat with a livid look.

Despite the fact that she was mean to James especially regarding this matter, she still cared about her NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

sister and would take every chance to make her better.

Director Wang followed Doctor Wu out the room and waited quietly.

As the head of the First People's Hospital of Golden City, he was well-aware of Grace's illness and was

already convinced that there was nothing they could do.

All the guests in the hall waited patiently. So solemn was the atmosphere that every breath could

almost be heard.

Most of them thought the same thing: Peter perhaps couldn't do anything successfully, for he was too

young.

——

Peter entered the ward and rushed to Grace's side.

Both her breathing and her heartbeak were weak. Although she was in a coma, it was evident that she

was really suffering.

Forcing himself to stay calm and focused, Peter took out his acupuncture pins and started to begin the

treatment.

Her situation was really severe. It would have been too late to save her had he arrived 10 minutes later.

Meanwhile, Peter was infuriated by the quack doctor, Doctor Wu. How despicable could a person be to

danger sick patients?

What the most crucial was to move the sin to a scapegoat by blaming someone else for his ineffective

methods. How could such a person even become a doctor?

In one glance, Peter knew that Grace's current condition was caused by the quack doctor's false

diagnosis.

An hour later, the ward remained still and there seemed to be no signs of Peter coming out anytime

soon.

James' visitors had no choice but to keep waiting despite their legs tired from standing.

'Just get out already if there's nothing you can do anyway. Waiting here sucks.'

Of course, no one dared say this out loud. After all, they were aware that James thought very highly of

Peter.

"Its been an hour already!" Doctor Wu exclaimed impatiently. "For all we know, the guy has already

escaped through the window! Policemen are already waiting for him outside!"

The authorities alerted by Vicky's previous call had already arrived but dared not barge in due to

James' instructions. Doctor Wu's speculation was reasonable given that the ward was only on the third

floor.

James felt nervous and also frustrated that he might be right. Still, he decided to not let his emotions

get ahead of him.

He had faith that Peter wouldn't do such a thing even if he failed to cure the patient.

Audrey, on the other hand, wanted to curse the old quack doctor. Thinking that it might disturb Peter,

she thought it would be best to restrain herself.

Vicky wanted to speak, but seeing James' face, she didn't want to make matters worse.

Ignored, Doctor Wu went back to his corner, closed his eyes and just kept silent as anger welled up

inside him. 'Okay, fine. Let him do what he wants to do. And then what will you do after he realized

she's incurable?'

He was convinced that Peter wouldn't be able to right his wrong.

Another hour passed, and the visitors' legs were tired as ever. One wouldn't be able to guess how

many times they cursed Peter.

James and Audrey were just as uneasy.

Peter only used an hour to treat Grace last time, but now it had been two hours and there has not been

an update.

Was it already so hopeless? Was Peter already at his wits end?

Despite his silence, Doctor Wu was starting to feel quite pleased with Peter's apparent defeat.

"I can't take this anymore!" Vicky exclaimed. "I have waited long enough! I'm checking to see whether

the bastard has escaped or not!"

Boom!

Just as she finished talking, the door of the ward suddenly opened. Out came Peter, clearly exhausted.

"How is she?" James grabbed him and asked anxiously.

Peter looked at him and let out a long sigh, pointing to the inside of the room. James rushed in.

"Grace…"

Tears falling down her eyes, Audrey followed in. "Mom…"

Vicky entered too, ignoring Peter. "Sister…"

Doctor Wu stood up and boomed with laughter. "See? What did I tell you? Did you cure her? You

worthless piece of scum!"

"Officers, arrest this man! He's a scammer pretending to be a doctor! Arrest him right now!"

"You're a fraud!" he said, addressing Peter. "You're clearly unqualified and waste such a long time! You

should be sent to prison!

You're a fool for messing with the mayor's family. How stupid can you be?"

"You're the one who deserves to be shot!" Peter spat at him. "I wonder how many people you've tricked

to be this confident in dealing with the mayor?

Do you know how many people die and how many families are destroyed because of the things that

you do? Even death would be too kind of a punishment for you!"

The crowd didn't seem to believe Peter. They glared at him and started to curse.

The two hours that they waited were all in vain because of his trickery.

Peter was stunned.

'What the hell? I just have cured Grace! What are they saying?'

He didn't know that his body language had been misinterpreted!

He took a breath because he was exhausted. He pointed inside to invite them to see Grace for

themselves. They must had thought that the treatments he did weren't successful and that he invited

them to say goodbye to Grace, themselves.

Hearing Doctor Wu's accusations, the policemen started to approach Peter.

"Arrest the quack!" James finally commanded. "This person is unqualified to be a doctor! Bring him in to

have his crimes investigated!"

The policemen started to rush towards Peter in response to the mayor's direct orders.

Doctor Wu jumped with joy. "Look at you now, you arrogant fool! How dare you accuse me of being a

quack and a scammer! You can't use me as an excuse for your failure! What do you have to say about

yourself now, huh?"

"Wait! You have it all wrong!" Peter cried.

The policemen ignored his protests and proceeded to cuff him.

"Wait, what's wrong with you?" James interrupted, "Why are you arresting him?"

He clearly wanted them to arrest the quack doctor. Why were these idiots arresting Peter?

Confused, one policeman asked, "We're arresting the quack doctor, Peter Wang? Wasn't the instruction

that you wanted us to do?"

"No!" James replied angrily. "How could Peter be a quack doctor? He just have cured Grace!" "Arrest

Doctor Wu, you idiots! He's the quack doctor!"

Realizing their mistake, the policemen quickly turned to Doctor Wu and proceeded with the arrest.
