Nanako Ito was taken aback to learn that Charlie was regarded as Master Wade by the esteemed Dr. Simmons, even referring to him as the “true dragon on earth.”
Japan, too, has its share of dragon legends, as its civilization has roots in Chinese culture, making the two closely intertwined.
In Japanese tradition, dragons are revered as supreme beings, holding a status akin to that of deities.
However, she couldn’t fathom why this elderly doctor wouldbel a young man as a true dragon.
Unbeknownst to her, Charlie’s profound impact on Dr. Simmons hadpletely reshaped the doctor’s understanding, which had remained unchanged for decades.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Dr. Simmons viewed Charlie’s exceptional medical skills and unparalleled ability to refine medicine as unparalleled in his lifetime and in the entire world.
This deep respect for Charlie stemmed from the significant benefits he had received from him, including a healing medicine and a rejuvenating pill that transformed his life.
Such immense kindness was something Dr. Simmons would always cherish and never forget.
At that moment, Nanako Ito noticed Dr. Simmons’s growing anger. She quickly interjected, pleading, “It was just a moment of impulse that led my mentor to offend Mr. Wade. While she is certainly at fault, the consequences shouldn’t be so severe. Please, show somepassion!”
Dr. Simmons waved his hand dismissively, his expression resolute: “Youngdy, Master Wade has saved my life. I chose to remain in Aurous Hill to open a clinic to treat the sick and help others solely as a way to repay Master Wade’s kindness. Anyone who offends him bes an enemy in my eyes. I am trying to be diplomatic here, and I do not wish to speak harshly to you, but I must ask you to leave.”
With tears in her eyes, Nanako Ito responded, “But a genius doctor like you is kind; you can’t just turn away someone in need…”
Dr. Simmons replied, “A doctor’s kindness is as heavy as a mountain, and I can stand with a clear conscience. There’s no need for further discussion; I must insist you leave!”
He then turned to X, saying, “X, please see our guest out!”
Though Nanako Ito wished to plead further, Dr. Simmons had already turned away and strode back into the hospital room.
Before she could speak again, X gestured for her to exit, saying, “Miss, please return.”
With a heavy heart, Nanako Ito replied respectfully, “I apologize for the interruption…”
She then turned and left, feeling defeated.
Jiro Kobayashi had remained silent throughout, knowing better than to speak up. For him, flirting with girls was important, but staying safe was paramount. After all, his brother had encountered trouble at this Serene Medical Clinic, and he had no intention of stirring up any issues.<fn5667> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? find?novel</fn5667>
As they exited Jesedang, Jiro Kobayashi gently advised Nanako Ito, “Don’t take it too hard. This kind of hidden master can be quite peculiar. Let’s head back to the hotel for a rest and return another day. There’s a famous Chinese historical tale called Sangu Maolu, where a man visited Zhuge Liang three times before he agreed toe out of retirement. Perhaps we can take a simr approach with the Serene Medical Clinic.”
Nanako Ito shook her head, saying, “I saw the determination in the genius doctor’s eyes. When he turned me down, he meant it without any hesitation. Even if I came back three times or thirty, the oue would likely remain unchanged. If there’s a way to resolve this, it begins with Mr. Wade.”
“Charlie?!”
