The Great Medical Saint

Jenny's voice carried a hint of melancholy as she spoke, "What choice do I have but to give it to you? Should I wait for you to beat me to death? My grandpa and parents died because of this book. I can't let my brother and I suffer the same fate." Liam considered her words for a moment and then nodded slightly. "You have a valid point. To possess something valuable often invites trouble.

"Since you've handled it over so willingly, there's no need for me to resort to violence. Well then, I'll be on my way. Goodbye."

With that, Liam signaled his men, and they followed him out of the clinic.

Matthew felt a wave of relief wash over him. The plan had worked smoothly, and the siblings were finally safe from the threats looming over them.

As Liam and his men walked away, Cosmo watched them with a gaze filled with bitterness and hatred far too intense for a child his age.

As Liam and his men reached the entrance of the clinic, Jenny suddenly felt a surge of pent-up frustration and shouted, "Liam!"

Liam stopped in his tracks and slowly turned to face her, his expression wary. "Regretting your decision?" he asked.

Matthew's heart skipped a beat, sensing the tension rising. Everything had been going smoothly, and now he was anxious about what Jenny might say next. He silently hoped she wouldn't mess things up.

Jenny shook her head, her voice steady but laced with curiosity. "No, I just want to know why do you want that book so badly. Are you really going to study it?"

Liam's eyebrows lifted slightly in surprise as if he hadn't expected such a straightforward question. The polite smile he had worn earlier faded, replaced by a look of smug confidence.

His demeanor shifted noticeably, taking on an air of arrogance and superiority. Even his tone changed, becoming colder and more condescending.

"There are certain treasures that are simply wasted on people like you," he said, each word dripping with disdain.

"Intellect, emotional depth, perseverance, patience, tenacity-these are qualities you and your kind sorely lack."

Liam continued, "Having that book in your possession is like casting pearls before swine-wasting its potential. But in our hands, it's a different story.

"We possess the resilience to endure hardships, the superior genes that set us apart, the wisdom to understand its depth, and the unwavering perseverance to unlock the book's full potential. We're able to take what seems like a simple medical book and amplify its value a hundredfold."

Jenny frowned as she listened, feeling the sting of his words. They were long-winded, but the message was clear-he looked down on her.

However, she couldn't let that slip. "I've given you the book," she said, her voice firm, "but I don't agree with your opinion about us."

Liam gave her a scornful smile. "Actions speak louder than words. Traditional medicine is on the brink of extinction here because your wisdom and abilities have failed to grasp its true essence."

His words made Jenny pause. There was something deeper in what he was saying. "You're not from here, are you?" she asked.

Liam answered proudly, "I'm from a place far better than this, and I'm far superior to the people here. I'm also a doctor, and they often call me the 'Miracle Medic'."

He sneered, "Your medical skills are like a child's compared to an adult-completely out of your league!"

Matthew frowned upon hearing that. He knew Jenny's skills were impressive, and Liam's arrogance was just ridiculous. Liam was full of himself.

He stayed quiet, holding back his frustration. Matthew knew that for the sake of Jenny and Cosmo's safety, it was better not to escalate the situation.

He sat there quietly and hoped Jenny to keep her cool. If they could let these people leave with the book, they would finally get rid of the danger.

However, Jenny couldn't let it slide

She had opened her clinic because she was confident in her skills, and Liam's dismissal of her

hit a

nerve. She finally snap

"If you think so little of me, why not put your skills to the test against mine?"

Liam's expression twisted into disdain. "You dare to challenge my skills? That's pathetic. Your skills aren't even good enough to make you my apprentice."

At this point, even Matthew couldn't

hide his frustration. Jenny's medical skills were competent, but Liam still dared to claim she wasn't even qualified to be his apprentice Liam's arrogance was staggering

Matthew began to suspect something deeper-perhaps Liam was from Eastoria.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Jenny bit her lip, steeling herself. "Medical skills aren't just about talking big. True ability is shown by treating patients. I want to challenge you."

Liam glanced at his watch and scanned the clinic. He saw a child doing homework, a woman, and someone who seemed to be a patient. None of them appeared threatening.

He nodded in agreement. "Alright then. I'll let you witness true medical skill. How should we determine the winner?"

Liam gestured toward the door. "The clinic's open, so there'll surely be patients coming in for consultations. When they arrive, we each present a treatment plan.

"We'll see whose method is quicker, more cost-effective, and offers no side effects. That'll determine the winner."

Jenny also nodded, "Okay. I'll put up an advertisement for today's half-price consultations right away. I believe there'll be patients coming in soon."

With the sign in hand, she headed toward the door. Liam saw her and stepped aside to let her through.
