Translator: 549690339
Before Harriet Bennett could speak, Linda Wilson imdiately said, “Miss Thompson, we believe in you.”
Linda is an experienced and knowledgeable person.
At a glance, she could see that Viola Thompson was different from ordinary girls.
Calm, self-possessed, elegant in conversation, she exuded a temperant that children of her age lacked.
Experienced.
“Alright.” Viola Thompson nodded slightly, then asked, “Do you have paper and pen?”
“Yes.” Linda imdiately asked the servant to bring paper and pen.
Viola took the paper, wrote a prescription, noted the contraindications and materials needed for dressing the wound, and then handed the paper to Linda, “Prepare the things written on the paper, and I’ll co back tomorrow afternoon.’
“Alright.” Linda took the prescription, and when she saw the writing on it, she was amazed for a mont.
The artistic charm was flowing, the thin strokes were elegant, and it was a very beautiful thin gold script. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would hardly believe that such beautiful handwriting ca from the hand of a young girl.
As expected, you can tell a person by their handwriting.
Viola Thompson’s handwriting, just like her whole person.
So beautiful that it could overthrow a city. “Then, I’ll leave first.” Viola Thompson continued.
“I’ll walk you out.”
Linda walked Viola to the door.
At the door, Viola Thompson looked back at Linda and said, “Mrs. Bennett, please stay.”
Linda chuckled, “I must be about the sa age as Miss Thompson’s mother. If
Miss Thompson doesn’t mind, you can call Aunt Linda.”
“Aunt Linda.”
Linda continued, “I’ll have the driver take you ho.”
Viola pointed to the shared bicycle parked by the roadside, “I can ride a bike ho, it’s very fast.”
“Miss Thompson, please let the driver take you.”
“No need, please stay.”
With that, Viola walked over to a shared bicycle by the roadside, took it, and rode away.
The breeze scattered her hair, drawing a perfect arc in the air, leaving a chaotic beauty.
Watching the figure gradually disappear, the heavy stone that had been weighing on Linda’s heart for days began to fade.
After a mont, Linda turned and went back into the house.
Harriet Bennett asked, “Has Miss Thompson left?”
Linda nodded.
Harriet continued, “Do you think Miss Thompson is trustworthy?”
“Yes.” Linda nodded again.
Angus Wilson walked in from the side, “Brother-in-law, don’t worry! Miss Thompson will definitely make Edith better!” Anyway, Angus was now thoroughly convinced.
Harriet frowned slightly, “But I always feel like she’s too young.”
Young, lacking experience, and seen little.
Harriet was very worried.
“Age is just a number, and it doesn’t define soone’s abilities.” Angus continued, “Gunther’s grandson was only twelve years old when he beca an official, brother-in-law, don’t judge a person by their appearance.”
At that mont, a servant approached, “Sir, Mrs., Old Doctor Bruce has arrived. ”
Hearing the words “Old Doctor Bruce,” Linda frowned slightly.
This Old Doctor Bruce had almost ruined her daughter!
Linda was about to say sothing, but Harriet held her hand, “Let Old Doctor
Bruce in quickly.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
After the servant left, Linda said unhappily, “Why are you letting him in again?”
Harriet said, “Let’s hear what Old Doctor Bruce has to say.”
Soon, the housekeeper led Old Doctor Bruce in.
After examining Edith Bennett’s condition, Old Doctor Bruce stroked his beard, “Mr. Bennett, Mrs. Bennett, your daughter’s condition is very bad right now. Her face is rejecting the dication. I will do my best to make the wound heal, but as for restoring her appearance, I’m afraid…”
In the end, he shook his head, “I’m afraid there is no hope in this life, so you two need to be ntally prepared.”
“That’s not what you said before!” Linda was sowhat angry, her tone naturally not pleasant, “You said you could cure my daughter!”
Hearing that, Old Doctor Bruce looked up calmly, “Mrs. Bennett, no doctor and no surgery is a hundred percent certain. Unforeseen factors are unavoidable. Moreover, your daughter’s situation is too serious! In my entire dical career, I have never seen such a situation! I can understand your feelings, but please also understand the doctor’s heart. If there were any dicine for your daughter, I would not have co to this conclusion.”
The compassion of the doctor.
He wanted to cure Edith more than anyone else, but things didn’t go as planned.
“If your dical skills are not up to par, don’t deny everyone else!” Linda’s voice held so anger, “There’s always soone better! There’s always a higher mountain!”
Old Doctor Bruce looked up, “Is Mrs. Bennett implying that soone can heal your daughter’s face?”
It’s really strange!
He had never heard of soone like this in River City!
dical skills surpassing his?
He had never heard of it!
Old Doctor Bruce had been arrogant all his life, receiving people’s respect, but he couldn’t stand to hear such words.
“Yes!” Mrs. Bennett said.
“Absolutely impossible!” Old Doctor Bruce stood up and continued, “It’s not that I’m arrogant, but your daughter’s face has reached a dead end. How can there be a turning point when it’s a dead end?”
At this point, Angus stepped forward:
“Old Doctor Bruce, let tell you the truth. When I went to pick up the dicine, a young lady who studied dicine spotted the problem with your prescription just by looking at it, and accurately stated that my niece’s wound would definitely beco ulcerated if she took your dicine. If only we had taken her words to heart at the beginning.”
Angus Wilson continued, “But luckily, we have contacted her in ti. We believe that she has the ability.”
Old Doctor Bruce squinted, sowhat curious about who this person was. How could she deduce from the prescription alone that Edith Bennett’s face would ulcerate?
It must be a random guess.
He had dedicated his life to studying dicine and couldn’t cure Edith. How could a young girl studying dicine do it?
Absurd!
“Mr. Wilson, don’t be deceived by others!” Old Doctor Bruce continued, “There’s poison in every dicine, and Miss Bennett’s face is already at a dead end.
Tily stopping the loss is the best plan. If you force treatnt, it will endanger her life! ”
With Edith Bennett’s current situation, apart from him, anyone else taking over the treatnt would arrive at the sa outco.
Death.
At this point, Old Doctor Bruce paused, turned his head to look at Harriet Bennett, “Mr. Bennett, as a husband, as a father, I hope you think carefully, don’t let the thoughts of so won ruin Miss Bennett!”
Won mostly had long hair and short knowledge!
Linda’s case in point, she would actually believe that a young girl from who-knows-where could cure Edith.
“Stop frightening us!” Linda raised her voice angrily, “Housekeeper! Show the guest out!”
The housekeeper hesitated and bowed, “Please.”
Old Doctor Bruce was extrely angry and just before he left, he took one last glance at Harriet, “Mr. Bennett, you are the head of the household, and Miss Bennett has only one life, don’t do anything you’ll regret!”
With that, he left without looking back.
Linda frowned tightly.
Harriet was about to say sothing, but Linda interrupted, “Nothing more to say, I believe in Miss Thompson!”
After saying that, she turned her head to look at Edith, “What about you, Edith?”
Edith was silent for a few seconds, then nodded, “I also believe in Miss Thompson.”
She was more afraid of living a half-human, half-ghost life for the rest of her days than she was of dying.
With both his wife and daughter trusting Viola, Harriet couldn’t say anything more. He only looked at Edith and said, “As long as you don’t regret it, I respect your and your mother’s decision..”
