Chapter 99 - Saving a Life
Chapter 99: Saving a Life
“Where are you going?” Xenia Lewis asked curiously.
“I’ll go take a look,” William Scott replied.
Xenia Lewis also stood up and said, “Yes, we should indeed take a look. A doctor saving a patient is worth watching.”
They reached the entry of the first class train carriage. A staff member immediately came up to them and said, “Are you two doctors?”
“No!” Xenia Lewis immediately said.
The staff immediately said curtly, “We need a doctor. Please don’t enter.”
At this moment, William Scott announced, “I’m a doctor.”
“Ah…” Xenia Lewis’ eyes widened, but she immediately admired William Scott in her heart. Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to enter.
“Then please come in.” The staff quickly let them in.
There were a total of six seats inside, and there were only four people inside. Among them were the young man and woman from before. The two of them surveyed them with looks of disdain on their faces.
The other was a white-haired old man who was now lying back on his seat. His face was pale and his lips were blue.
Beside him was a girl in her early twenties. Her eyes were filled with tears as she paced around anxiously. However, it didn’t hide her beautiful face.
“The doctor is here,” the staff announced as she introduced William Scott.
......
“He’s a doctor?” the rude woman asked, her eyes wide.
Xenia Lewis glared and hissed, “What does it have to do with you? Human lives are at stake. You guys better shut up.”
“Doctor, doctor! Please save my grandfather!” The beautiful girl took a step forward and grabbed William Scott’s arm tightly.
William Scott said, “The patient should have a history of heart disease, right?”
The girl said with tears in her eyes, “Yes! My grandfather has a heart condition. I’ve already given him his medicine, but it’s not working.”
“Okay, let me take a look first.” William Scott went over to the old man and checked his eyelids first. Then he placed his fingers on his wrist.
The rude man suddenly laughed and said in a sarcastic tone, “Pulse reading? Traditional Chinese medicine… This is really funny. This is an urgent situation. Can Traditional Chinese medicine save lives? You have to find another occasion to show off. Don’t delay the patient anymore.”
Xenia Lewis originally thought that William Scott just wanted to sneak in and take a look at the situation. Who knew that he would really assess the patient’s condition? He seemed to really want to save the old man. She couldn’t help but be shocked. William Scott had never told her that he was a doctor. Wasn’t he just messing around?
Therefore, when that scum mocked him, she did not dare to retort.
The pretty girl was at a loss when she heard this.
William Scott ignored his sarcastic remarks and said calmly, “It’s not a major problem.”
The rude woman pursed her lips and said, “How arrogant. I wonder where this liar is from. I advise that you better not let him treat the old man. Otherwise, if he dies, it’s too late for tears.”
William Scott turned around and looked at the two of them coldly. “Do you two know how to save lives? If not, you’d better shut your stinky mouths and get out!”
The rude woman giggled and said, “You’re still pretending. Go ahead and carry on acting. If you kill him later, you’ll be in trouble.”
“Shut up! Get out!” The beautiful girl was suddenly furious.
The staff quickly intervened, “Please leave first. Don’t delay the doctor’s treatment.”
Regardless of whether they believed in William Scott, who seemed to practice Traditional Chinese medicine, the only doctor who was present was William Scott. Therefore, he was the only hope for the patient. But the couple was still mocking him, and they were incensed.
Only then did the two of them walk out resentfully. At the door, the woman curled her lips and said, “How stupid. You really believe that guy? Just wait to send your grandfather off on his final journey.”
“Shut up!”
The beautiful girl, Xenia Lewis, and the staff roared in unison. Their eyes were filled with anger.
William Scott ignored all of them. At this moment, he placed one hand on the old man’s heart and the other massaged his chest.
The others stared at the patient nervously. They did not understand William Scott’s treatment method at all. They could only pray in their hearts.
Xenia Lewis was also feeling uneasy. Not only was she concerned about the old man’s condition, but she was also worried that he would not be able to treat him. If the old man died, William Scott would probably have to bear some responsibility.
The atmosphere was indescribably tense, but William Scott’s expression was quite calm, and his hands did not stop moving.
“Phew…”
It seemed like only a few minutes, but it also seemed like hours. The old man’s lips moved a few times, and then he let out a long breath.
“Grandpa!” the old man’s granddaughter exclaimed in delight.
“Be quiet. It’ll take a while more,” Wilson said calmly.
The girl quickly covered her mouth, but her face was already filled with intense joy.
Xenia Lewis also heaved a long sigh of relief. She was really scared to death just now.
After another short while, the old man’s breathing slowly steadied, and then he opened his eyes.
Only then did William Scott move and said, “All right, go and have a check up at the hospital. He should be fine for the time being.”
“Grandpa! Grandpa! How are you?” The old man’s granddaughter rushed to his side and grabbed his hand with tears in her eyes.
“It’s killing me…” The old man let out another long breath.
“I’m glad you’re okay. I’m glad you’re okay! You really scared me.” The girl could no longer hold back her tears. Her tears streamed down her cheeks.
“Don’t be afraid, my dear. Hades hasn’t thought of taking me away yet. I’m fine.” The old man stroked his granddaughter’s face and smiled.
The staff came over at that moment and said, “Sir, the ambulance will be at the next station soon. We’ve already contacted the paramedics.”
The girl hurriedly packed her belongings, but she suddenly remembered about the doctor. She hadn’t even thanked him. She turned around and realized that William Scott had already disappeared.
“What about the doctor?” the girl asked quickly.
“I didn’t notice when he left. His medical skills are really brilliant. This is the first time I know that Chinese medicine can save lives in such a situation. He didn’t even leave his name and just left. His medical ethics are quite admirable.” As she spoke, the staff glanced at the couple at the door. The comparison made only highlighted how obnoxious they were.
“He saved my grandfather’s life. I haven’t thanked him properly.”
“Then I’ll help you to locate him. But the ambulance will be at the station in two minutes.”
“This… then please find that doctor. This is my name card. Call this number when you find him.” The girl handed the staff her name card.
