Chapter 265 Saving Your Dad

"I've just examined your dad! I’m a doctor, and I can treat his condition," Daniel insisted, preparingto administer acupuncture with his Needle of the Seven Dragons.

"What are you doing?" Abigail stopped Daniel, refusing to let him perform the procedure.

"Saving your dad!"

"Saving him? I think you're trying to harm him. What the heck are you holding? Where did you pickup that filthy needle? Did you even sterilize it? What if you infect my dad with it?"

Abigail bombarded Daniel with rapid-fire questions, her mini-tirade leaving his good intentionsshattered.

"Your dad's having a heart attack! If I don’t perform acupuncture right away, he might die. Then allyou can do is hold him and cry."

"You call yourself a doctor? I can tell you're a fraud. Acupuncture? It’s all nonsense!"

"It’s infuriating that you’re questioning my sincere attempt to save your father’s life. My medical skillsare a treasure of the United States, they’ve been here for thousands of years. You should know,Native Americans have been using shamanistic healing for that long!"

"Relying on shamans for thousands of years, and how high is the average lifespan of NativeAmericans? I haven’t seen any who lived past a hundred!"

"That’s because the settlers came!"

"Heh," Abigail chuckled dismissively. "I knew that would be your excuse. Scammers like you whorely on shamanistic trickery always make this claim. You can maybe deceive country housewiveswith that rubbish, but you can’t fool me, I won’t believe it!"

"So you don’t care if your dad dies?"

"Who said I don’t care? I graduated from the New York Medical University, and I’m a resident doctorat the hospital. I’ll call my supervisor right now."

After declaring this, Abigail took out her phone and made a call.

Witnessing Daniel being overwhelmed by the young girl’s defiance, Brittany couldn't help but replacejoy in his struggle. She taunted Daniel with a smug smile. "Country boy, weren’t you oftenunstoppable with your tricks, and no one ever resisted you? How come your charm has failed now,in front of a young lady? Especially one graduated from New York Medical University, rankedamong the top three medical schools in the country. You think you could deceive her with your lowlytricks? You're more naive than I thought. So let's just leave; it's getting late and it would betroublesome if you had an accident in the dark."

Despite witnessing Daniel's medical talents before, Brittany still believed his successes were mereflukes, not genuine competence. Besides, her primary reason to bring Daniel back was to make himpose as her boyfriend, so her mother would stop nagging about replaceing one. Daniel theoreticallycure her grandfather’s chronic ailments was nothing more than a pretext; she was acutely awarethat Daniel couldn’t possibly cure her grandfather's long-standing everyday illnesses.
