Chapter 14 Too Enthusiastic

Emily was stunned. This was the first time she had seen Mr. Hawking so excited. She didn’t know howto respond for a moment. Just as she was in a daze, Mr. Hawking had already gently led her to thelounge. “It’s so hot outside. Come, Ms. Armstrong, let’s go inside where it’s nice and cool!” Emily wasstunned. Today, Mr. Hawking seemed to be a little too enthusiastic? What was going on? Looking at thecup of tea he poured her in the lounge, she felt a little flattered. Mr. Hawking had excellent medicalskills and was highly respected. He was not an ordinary person. She nodded politely and looked at Mr.Hawking who was still holding her hand tightly. She was a little embarrassed. “I’m here, Mr. Hawking.You… this is?” Realizing that he was a little too excited, Mr. Hawking smiled and let go of her hand. Hesaid a little self-deprecatingly, “Aiya, look at how worked up I am!” Emily smiled and retracted herhand.

She turned around and found that Leona, Young Master Greens, and his assistant were all standingtogether. She fixed her eyes on Lucas, who was standing in the middle. He looked very energetic. Itseemed that her treatment had worked quite well. Of course, she knew that was why he could recoverso fast. Looking at the unfathomable expression of Mr. Hawking, she understood in her heart that sheseemed to know why Mr. Hawking was acting this way. Sure enough, Mr. Hawking went straight to thepoint and said: “Ms. Armstrong, you came today. I want to ask you something. I heard from Leona thatit was you who performed the acupuncture on Lucas. That’s why he can be so energetic and healthynow. His condition is so serious, his heart and pulse are damaged, and his health is damaged insideand out. If his old illness recurs, he is as good as dead. I want to know, how did you get him to recoverso quickly? Also, how did you create the prescription you gave him? I’ve seen the prescription. There isa medicinal herb called ‘Ice Snow Lotus’ in it. This medicinal herb is rarely seen in the market. How didyou get it? After knowing you for so long, I can’t believe I only just found out you know medicine too.May I ask you where you learned your skills from?” Mr. Hawking was relentless in his directquestioning. Emily looked a little troubled.

Mr. Hawking did not have any ill intentions in his questioning. Whether it was the ancient medicalprescription or her ancient medical techniques, they were all taught to Emily by her master.

Her master had told her before that she should not reveal too much about ancient medicine tooutsiders.

She deliberated for a moment and decided to hide it from them. “Actually, I don’t know much aboutmedical skills. I met a master before and learned some things from him. I only know a little.” Sherevealed almost nothing. Mr. Hawking looked at her curiously. “Then may I ask who your master is?”This was probably asking for her master’s name. She pretended not to understand and avoided thequestion. “He is just an idle old Chinese medicine doctor. There is nothing special about him. I was justlucky I was able to help today. You don’t have to take it to heart.”

Mason looked at her curiously and did not believe her.

Lucas narrowed his eyes. His pair of calm eyes were as deep as a cold pond, mysterious andunfathomable. It was impossible to see his emotions.

Mr. Hawking smiled. He was experienced and knowledgeable. He naturally knew that there was anexpert behind her. She was hiding it from him.

He was not angry and only said, “Ms. Armstrong, you are modest. Do you know? I have studiedmedicine for a lifetime and treated this kid for a long time. I have never had as great an effect on him asyou have today. I know. You don’t want to tell me everything. I don’t blame you. However, there issomething I want to ask you. I hope that for the sake of our friendship over these years, you will agreeto this.” “Please speak.” Emily glanced at him. Mr. Hawking shifted his gaze to Lucas. “You… Do youhave a way to save this kid? He is the son of my friend. If you can save him, you can choose yourreward. Just name your price!”

Emily looked at Lucas indifferently.
