Chapter Ten

The shareholders meeting ends.

The shareholders walked out of the meeting room.

Only the man with the white hair was still seated.

"Good child, you have finally grown up". The man smiled at her kindly.

" Thank you". Veronica replied.

"No need to be so formal, Lincoln and I are childhood friends, which means you are also my daughter". The man told her.

" Oh I didn't know ". She touched her nose awkwardly.

" You know my name right? It is Brown, You can call me daddy brown". Mr Brown told her.

"Ok Daddy Brown". She replied.

" Good child". Daddy Brown replied.

Sab who was ignored in the conversation "...".

….

After a tiring day, Veronica left the company by six thirty pm.

Sab drove while she sat down at the back, massaging her hand.

The car stopped abruptly, making her hit her head on the chair.

" What the f**k, you can't drive?". Veronica cursed.

"Something happened up ahead, the road seems to be blocked, We are trapped here". Sab replied.

Hearing this, Veronica raised her eyelids and looked forward.

She humphed, closed her eyes and did not say a word.

Her patience was running out.

She opened her eyes and told

" Damn, Go and check the situation". Veronica told him.

"Ok". Sab walked out of the car

Veronica closed and rested her head tiredly.

Sab ran up to front check on the situation and returned to explain there had been a landslide. Judging by the situation, they wouldn't be able to leave anytime soon.

She stepped out of the car. But while she was moving around, she suddenly heard a commotion in the crowd far away.

"Mr Black! Mr Black!What is wrong?"

"Where is your medicine?".

"Oh my God! Doctor! Is there a doctor?".

Veronica furrowed her brows, and slowly walked over.

She stood behind the crowd and watched leisurely. She had clearly seen the process of death, so she did not fear it.

At that very moment, there was an old man white haired-man convulsing on the ground with purplish-blue lips, breathing rapidly. Veronica could tell without checking the man's pulse that he was having a heart attack.

In her previous life, Her adopted Mother had a masters in Chinese medicine. Her adopted mother was a Chinese woman. Her mother was looking for a successor who could pass her Skills too, because she doesn't want to die with it. So she taught Veronica Chinese medicine.

However, she had no intention of doing anything, she just watched on coldly. Until a man in his thirties suddenly ran toward the old man crying sadly. Veronica thought about the moment she stopped breathing in her previous life.

She furrowed her brows in annoyance and said in a dull voice, " If you keep surrounding him like this, he will only die faster".

Hearing this, the crowd immediately retaliated. "Oh young lady, what are you saying?".

"I know, right? How could you curse him like that?".

The middle aged had no time to care about the commotion. All he knew was, there was a landslide and no ambulance could get through. Even If a helicopter came, it won't make it in time.

His face was covered in tears as he asked in a pleasantly surprised manner, " Do you know CPR?".

He was so desperate for help that he didn't notice Veronica's appearance and age.

"Tch, what would a child know".

" Be careful she doesn't kill him instead!".

"I don't think she can do it. Young people these days love to show off".

One word here, one sentence there. It is already making her dizzy.

The middle aged man couldn't stand it and yelled, " Shut the f**k up! If you can cure my father, I can bow to you if you want, but if you can't, then get lost".

Veronica crouched down beside the old man.

Coincidentally, Mona Lisa was also passing by. She was also stuck in the car. She also heard the commotion and came to look at what was happening. She heard what happened from the people that surrounded the old man.

"She is my sister, how could she know anything about medicine, she is just arrogant. Let me persuade her".

In reality, Mona Lisa wanted Veronica to accidentally kill someone and have her reputation ruined.

Then her father will give her all the love and care that bitch got.

She ran over to stop Veronica and apologized to the middle-aged man. "Sorry sir, my sister's never studied medicine before. She has no idea how to save a person. For the sake of the old gentleman's safety, you should think carefully".

" Who said I can't cure?" Veronica asked as she looked at the middle-aged man, "The choice is in your hands. If you believe me, I will treat him".

At this point, there was nothing the middle-aged man could do, so he took a deep breath and nodded his head. " You can treat him".

Mona Lisa felt happy inside, but a look of disappointment appeared on her face, "Veronica! That's a life you are talking about! How can you treat life like a game?".

" Are you done with your act?" Veronica lifted her head, "If you are done, then please move aside and don't delay me from saving a life".

The middle-aged man also felt that Mona Lisa was being a nuisance. "Miss, if there is nothing else, Please leave".

Mona Lisa's face turned green and pale. She pointed at Veronica and said, " Fine! If you kill someone, I will ignore you".

Veronica looked at her coldly. "Get lost…."

After saying this, she crouched down beside the old man and said, "Lie down horizontally and listen to my instructions".

She focused, grabbed the old man's hand, and carefully felt his pulse. At the same time, she found the acupuncture points that connected to the old man's heart and gently pressed on them.

The most important thing about massaging an acupuncture point wasn't just locating it. The technique was crucial.

Veronica pursed her lips. Her forehead was already covered in sweat, she was so focused and calm, and she had a reassuring aura that slowly eased the middle-aged man's fears.

One minutes…. Five minutes…

Mona Lisa thought the old man was dead.

"Ah Veronica I warned you but you didn't listen now, you have killed him". She gloated.

The onlookers also thought the old man was dead, his body suddenly twitched, his eyes flew open, and his breathing slowly stabilized.

"Oh my God! She actually saved him".

" He is alive! This girl has some skill!".

Mona Lisa's face turned pale, her back stiffened and she dug her nails into her palm. How was this possible?

When did Veronica learn Chinese medicine?

As she listened to everyone 's endless praise, she remembered how she confidently claimed that Veronica didn't know any medicine. Now that she had been slapped in the face, her cheeks felt like they were burning in pain.

But it didn't stop there. Soon, all the people that were praising Veronica turned their attention toward her.

"What motive did you have earlier? She clearly knows medicine, yet you were holding her back! That is a life we're dealing with".

"I know right? Luckily the doctor didn't listen to her, Otherwise, the old man would have died".

Monalisa clenched her fist as she listened to the complaints. She did not look pleased.

No! She couldn't allow Veronica to get the better of her. It is better to get rid of her earlier before it is too late.

She made up her mind.
