"Come on quickly go get a bowl of hot water!"
"Yes sir"
"Hey you too come help her up!"
"Okay sir"
"Go get a towel, sterilize it with hot water and bring it over!"
"Right away, sir"
Charles Wellington had already returned to the clinic.
After examining the girl's condition, he immediately began giving the various assistants inside the clinic various instructions as he got ready to begin treatment.
The Logan couple and Dr Martins naturally did not hesitate to follow Charles's instructions.
Naturally as for Dr Martins who claimed to be a divine doctor, he had become Charles Wellington's first assistant after exhausting all his skills.
To him this wasn't bad, after human life is at stake, and not just anyone but the Logan's family heiress.
The arrogance of the old divine doctor towards Charles had undoubtedly disappeared.
Watching Charles take out a silver needle from his needle bag, find the acupoint, and decisively insert the needle, Dr Martins was amazed.
Because Charles's needle technique, whether it was the needle technique or the style of treatment he used , was completely different from what he had learned in his life.
This was simply amazing because he had only heard of needle treatment techniques but had never seen anyone practice it. Even at that it was impossible because this was The United States and Western medicine was the top boss in the whole medical world, but here was someone doing it so efficiently and a young man at that.
Dr Martins seized Charles Wellington up, and based on his conclusions told himself that Charles wasn't up to thirty years old, and this surprised him the more.
How could there be such man at this young age practicing such a needle technique in this world?
At first, Dr Martins doubted this needle technique, thinking that Charles Wellington was acting recklessly and violating medical ethics, and that it would be ineffective. He was forced to want to scold Charles and expose his true intentions, because to him western medicine and treatment would always be the top shot in the world.
But just as he was about to do so, he saw the woman's breath gradually calm down, her pulse recover, and her face begin to turn rosy.
Dr Martins was shocked, and at this point had to admit defeat and tremblingly asked,
"Young man, what kind of needle technique is this?"
"This needle technique is called 'Ji Qi Fa Needle' technique"
After a brief emergency treatment, Charles Wellington withdrew the silver needle and replied. Then, he turned his head to look at the James Logan and asked
"Uncle Logan, have you recently had any relatives pass away?"
Mr Logan was immediately surprised, "How did you know?"
Charles calmly replied
"Miss Logan only has a complication of a cold, but the main cause of her coma is excessive sadness and long-term emotional stress, which has led to poor blood circulation and at some point blocked her meridians. At this age, such a heavy heart can only be due to either love or the death of a loved one."
"No wonder, no wonder my previous treatment for her cold had no effect. I found the wrong root cause and misjudged it for something else" Dr Martins suddenly realized, and while feeling emotional, his attitude towards Charles Wellington had changed.
While Mr and Mrs Logan admired him, Mrs Logan also sighed, saying
"Yes, to be honest, a few months ago, my father in-law just passed away. Our daughter had a deep relationship with him, and she has been depressed for the past few months."
"What? You mean, Mr Logan has already passed away?" Charles was immediately surprised.
Seeing Mr Logan nod, Charles couldn't help but sigh.
Unexpectedly, he was too late.
"Dad, Mom, what's wrong with me?"
At this point a soft voice suddenly sounded in the room.
Yvonne Logan, who had been in a coma for a long time, finally woke up.
"Yvonne my dear, how are you feeling?"
"You silly girl, you scared your mother to death."
Mr and Mrs Logan hurried over and hugged thier daughter, trembling emotionally as they spoke.
"Auntie, don't worry. I just used some acupuncture to unblock Miss Logan's meridians, and she's fine now." Charles Wellington said.
"However, while physical illnesses can be cured, emotional ones are hard to solve. If Miss Logan cannot get over her grief, this illness may recur again in the future" Charles Wellington spoke once more as he carefully observed his fiancée.
He couldn't help but admit that she was truly beautiful. It was a real thing that the old man didn't deceive him this time.
"Thank you for your help, young man" said Mr James Logan. "Here is 10,000 dollars for medical expenses. Please leave your address and contact information so that I can thank you properly in the future."
It was obvious that James Logan was planning ahead. As Charles had mentioned, his daughter's illness might recur in the future, and he might need to ask for his help again.
Charles Wellington waved his hand and said
"Uncle Shen, there's no need to be polite. Your father, Mr Patrick Logan once did a favor for my master. I came down from the my village this time to repay the favor on behalf of my master. But unfortunately, old master Logan has passed away, so this debt can only be repaid to his descendants."
"Oh? Who is your master?" James Logan couldn't help but tremble. He didn't expect that this young man had some connection with his late father.
"My master is just a simple man from my village, an unknown person and so I won't mention his name. However, I have a letter here that the late Mr Logan left for my master back then."
As he spoke, Charles handed over a letter to James Logan. After reading it, James's
expression changed, and he looked uneasy.
"Honey, what's wrong? What does the letter say? Is it your father's handwriting?" asked Mrs Logan in confusion.
James Logan didn't speak, but instead handed the letter over to his wife.
"The old man wants... wants... wants them to get married?" Mrs Logan was also surprised after reading the letter.
Although Charles Wellington didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious that he came to fulfill the engagement by bringing the letter.
But...
James Logan looked at Charles, who was covered in dirt, and then at his beautiful and lovely daughter. This marriage was really...
For a moment, the Logan couple both looked hesitant.
Finally, James Logan broke the silence and said
"Um, young man, I never expected that the old man had arranged an engagement between Yvonne and you. But as you know, nowadays people value true love. I don't know what you think of Yvonne. If you don't like her, just tell me. Even if it goes against the old man's wishes, I won't force you to marry my daughter."
The truth be told James Logan wanted Charles to take the initiative to break off the engagement. That way his old man's word would be null and void.
But surprisedly Charles Wellington was honest and said
"Uncle, I think you're mistaken. Yvonne is a rare beauty, just my type. If anyone of us dislikes the other, it's would be Yvonne who dislikes me. How could I possibly dislike her?"
James Logan was embarrassed by this answer, which was not what he wanted to hear.
"Dad, I won't marry him. He's poor and dirty. I'd rather die than marry him!"
Yvonne Logan, who was lying in bed, clearly understood the situation and immediately objected.
"Yvonne, don't be rude! After all, this young man saved your life. If you offend him, who will save you if you get sick again in the future?" Mrs Logan immediately rebuked her.
"Mom..." Yvonne felt wronged.
Charles Wellington couldn't help but smile bitterly at this situation.
"Mr Logan, it seems that I have been too presumptuous. You are right. Marriage is a matter of mutual consent. Since Miss Logan is not interested in me, let's just call off the engagement. I won't bother you anymore" Charles said, as he was not the kind of person who would force himself on others.
Although the girl was very beautiful, he would not resort to coercion. Besides, he still had fifteen other marriage proposals waiting for him. He was not in a hurry.
But James Logan and his wife were worried, especially James Logan. He said immediately,
"Young man, what are you talking about?According to tradition and norms, marriage is always arranged by parents and matchmakers. Since the engagement was arranged by my father for the entire Logan family, we cannot go back on our word."
Charles Wellington said nothing.
"How about this? You can stay in my house for sometime and get to know Yvonne. When the time is right, we can have the wedding. What do you think?"
"Dad!" Yvonne was almost in tears.
"Yvonne, listen to your dad. I think this young man is honest and won't mistreat you." Mrs Logan said as she had a good impression of Charles, and since the head of the family had agreed, she had no objection.
"Well, I will follow Uncle Logan's arrangements." Since James Logan had said so, Charles Wellington naturally did not refuse.
Anyway, whether the Logan family recognized the engagement or not, Charles would still stay with them for a while and see if he could be of any help. Although Yvonne's grandfather was no longer alive, he still had to repay the favor owed to his master.
After that, Charles Wellington went back home with Logan family.
....
Logan family villa.
Mrs Linda Logan went to tidy up the guest room for Charles Wellington to stay in.
As for Yvonne Logan, she went to her bedroom to rest, with her dad accompanying her.
"Dad, are you really trying to push your daughter into the fire pit?" Yvonne asked her father with red eyes and a sense of grievance.
"Shhhh, lower your voice!" James glared at her and closed the bedroom door.
Lowering his voice, he said
"Silly girl, you are my only precious daughter. How could I just marry you off to anyone?"
"Then why did you just..." Yvonne was confused.
James Logan smiled and hugging his daughter said calmly,
"It was just a temporary measure. Your illness has not completely healed yet, and we still need him. Naturally, we can't offend him. When you are healthy again, I will find an excuse and give him some money to send him away. My daughter is talented and beautiful, with a gentle and kind heart. Whoever can match my daughter, even if they are not from a wealthy family, must come from a family with political power and influence. How can i let a rustic countryside boy take advantage of my daughter?
A toad wants to eat swan meat? He must be living in a dream!"
He also like Dr Martins didn't doubt Charles's method of treatment because it was so efficient and fast. To him this was truly amazing. But for him to talk about marrying his precious daughter, to him James Logan, that was far fetched and was a very big dream that he Charles or whatever his name is needs to wake up from.
