The Ex-Husband’s Revenge Chapter 41
"Mister Wolf has some medical knowledge, so he offered to come to visit our mother and see if there's anything he can be of help with." Lily explained with a blush.
"Is he a doctor?"
Jared was both surprised and confused. As Lily's colleague, Leon was supposed to be a secretary, so why was he suddenly described as if he was a doctor?
"I'm not a doctor, but I have medical skills that were passed down from my ancestors."
Leon smiled and put the fruit basket in his hand on the cabinet beside the hospital bed.
"You're a quack, then!" Jared frowned and said bluntly, Lily, there are plenty of professional doctors in the hospital, but none of them can cure mom's sickness. Do you think letting a quack would do any good?"
"Watch your words, Jared! How could you be so rude! Mister Wolf is just trying to be kind!" Lily reprimanded in displeasure and then smiled apologetically at Leon. " Mister Wolf, my brother is ignorant and speaks without a filter. Please don't take his words to heart."
"Don't worry about it. I understand where he's coming from," Leon said with a smile.
Jared opened his mouth but refrained from saying
anything else out of courtesy.
However, he was not convinced of Leon's abilities and remained wary of the man.
He was aware that his sister was a very beautiful woman who had no shortage of suitors. When their mother first fell sick, some of those men attempted to get close to his sister under all sorts of pretexts.
Therefore, he had serious doubts over Leon's sincerity toward his sister and felt that the man was only using medical skills' as an excuse.
As the only man in the family, Jared had to take on the responsibility of protecting his sister from being deceived by vile men!
"May I check your pulse, please?"
Leon sat down beside the hospital bed.
"Sure. Thank you…" Serena nodded weakly.
Having overheard the conversation between Leon, Lily, and Jared, she still felt grateful for Leon's kindness even though he was not a professional doctor.
Leon proceeded to take Serena's pulse.
By reference to the medical knowledge imparted in his mind, he was able to swiftly figure out Serena's issue.
It was her spinal cord that got injured due to overworking, leading to complications such as inflammation.
The condition was not very serious initially, but it worsened considerably due to the lack of timely and effective treatment during the recent period. As a result, paralysis could occur at any time.
"Miss Cameron, may I ask if you know what medication your mother usually takes? Do you have any prescriptions or anything similar? I'd like to have a look," Leon
requested.
"I do have them. My mother goes through several drips a day and takes some herbal medication…"
Lily took out her mother's prescription and a small bottle of herbs, which she then gave to Leon.
There were both herbal medication and conventional medications written on the prescription. Leon knew nothing about the latter, but he was able to understand the effects of the herbal ones.
Leon then poured out some of the dried herbs from the bottle and smelled them. Within seconds, he rapidly identified them as ordinary herbs used to tone one's internal energy and nourish one's blood.
From all the signs at hand, Leon could easily guess that the hospital detected Serena's spinal cord damage but
found no hidden complications.
The herbal medicine that Serena consumed daily was beneficial in treating her spinal cord injury but had little use against her complications.
In layman's terms, the medicine did not deal with the root cause, which led to little or no improvement in Serena's condition even after so long. One could say that the medication made her condition worse!
