Chapter 468 Professor John

"Professor John?" Avery inquired because she wasn't familiar with the name.

"Professor John is not only the dean of Harvard Medical School but also a world-class, Nobel Prize-winning physician. He has treated the President. If Professor John can't cure someone, then no onecan." Down praised the professor effusively.

Daniel couldn't help but snort derisively and interjected, "The most powerful medicine in the world isnot in his practice, but within our own USA's shamanic healing. Modern medicine is just scratchingthe surface. It's akin to butchery—cutting here, slicing there. Wherever there’s a problem, they usetheir surgical blades to cut it out. Though those methods may treat illness, they don't get to the rootof the problem. Our USA shamanic culture pursues divine intervention. Our shamanic ways are acontinuation of USA’s cultural heritage. Instead of just cutting and excising, we aim to eliminate theroot cause of the illness."

Daniel's critique prompted Down to respond with a contemptuous laugh before sizing up theseemingly rustic Daniel. To Down, Daniel appeared unimpressive and unfamiliar—a clear outsiderfrom a village.

Accordingly, Down turned to Avery and asked, "Avery, who is this country-looking fellow?"

"Just a country boy spouting nonsense. Pay no attention to him," Avery dismissed.

Down was Avery’s choice for a son-in-law—the future head of New York's top family, The Perkins,was a suitable match for her.

Daniel, however, took exception to this and quickly retorted, "Mom, your lack of conscience isshowing. I just called you 'mom,' and now you're disowning me? The prettier the woman, the morefickle, they say!"

Down was perplexed by Daniel's words and sought clarification, "Avery, is he your illegitimate son?"

"Down! How can you speak like that? How could I possibly have an illegitimate son? This countryboy came from the mountains. I helped him with his education out of goodwill, and he recognizedme as his godmother. But I never acknowledged him as my godson. That's why he calls me 'mom.'Just ignore him as if he were air."

As Daniel started to speak again, Avery shot him a fierce glare and roared, "Shut up!"

Even the fierce Jessica was wary, so of course, Daniel was also frightened of Avery, the formidabletiger mother.

He quickly clammed up and stayed quiet.

As the group entered the emergency room, they saw Kind lying in bed, surrounded by tubes,hovering on the edge of consciousness. The medical equipment monitoring his vital signs indicatedhis condition was dangerous though not yet devoid of hope.

After a brief glance at the data, Professor John spoke, "The patient's condition is grave. I need hismedical records and all diagnostic reports immediately."

Bright promptly handed over the required documents, and Professor John perused them seriously.
