Monica, at such a young age, could become the Vice President of the American Medical Research Society not only due to her exceptional abilities but also because of her family connections and the inherent advantage of being a woman, especially a beautiful one.
This natural advantage lay in her attractive appearance and a mouth that could spin lies.
Before Zhang Wuji’s mother passed away, she had warned him that the more beautiful a woman, the more likely she was to deceive. This statement, in fact, held some truth.
Monica had more confidence in her looks than in her medical skills. At one point, she believed that any normal man would fall under her charms.
In the United States, some admirers even thought that being deceived by Monica was an honor.
In Monica’s view, most men were creatures that thought with their lower halves. As long as she teased a bit, they would circle around her like money wolves catching a whiff of blood. The so-called enthusiasm was just their desire for her body.
Having studied psychology, Monica was adept at manipulating people’s minds, especially men’s hearts. The more unattainable something was, the more men wanted it. Therefore, Monica might get close to a man, but she would never give herself to him.
“Since President Monica wants to treat me to a meal, I won’t be polite. Let’s go,” Leo nodded in agreement.
Leo’s acceptance was within Monica’s expectations. In her heart, she couldn’t help but scoff, “Men, all the same.”
The restaurant Monica chose to dine with Leo was high-end in Langstel. She didn’t bring any companions, opting for a solo meal with Leo.
Before the delicious food arrived, Monica looked at Leo and couldn’t contain her curiosity. “Dr. Bloomer, now that it’s just you and me, can you tell me how you cured Paul, the more details, the better?”
“Uh, Miss Monica, how come you’re here!?” As Monica finished speaking, a surprised male voice sounded not far away. Soon after, a man in a well-fitted suit hurried over, his eyes filled with eagerness and excitement.
Hearing the man’s words, Monica couldn’t help but frown. She wasn’t really keen on being disturbed right now.
However, when Monica saw the man who suddenly appeared, a hint of joy appeared on her face. “Mr. Grace, it’s you!”
“Miss Monica, it’s been a while. You’ve become more beautiful. When did you come to Langstel? I was planning to visit you in the United States in a couple of days.” The man named Chad Grace spoke with great respect to Monica.
Looking at Leo, Monica said with a satisfied expression, “Dr. Bloomer, let me introduce you. This gentleman is Chad Grace, my patient.”
“Last year, he contracted a strange illness. Despite visiting renowned doctors and major hospitals in Langstel, the disease couldn’t be cured. Finally, Mr. Chad Grace went to the United States and became my patient. I administered our research society’s latest developed medicine to him. After three months, Mr. Chad Grace’s illness was successfully cured.”
Successfully curing Chad Grace was a source of pride for Monica, especially mentioning it in front of Leo, adding to her sense of triumph.
Upon hearing that Chad Grace’s peculiar illness couldn’t be cured nationwide, Leo couldn’t help but become interested. He asked, “Miss Monica, do you mind sharing what illness Mr. Chad Grace had?”
Monica looked at Chad Grace and said, “Mr. Grace, why don’t you tell Dr. Bloomer yourself.”
Chad Grace nodded and addressed Leo, “Two years ago, I suddenly started experiencing headaches. It would occur every day, accompanied by intense dizziness, as if the whole world was spinning before my eyes.”
“In this unbearable torment, I visited numerous hospitals at home and abroad. I underwent various examinations, but the cause couldn’t be identified. Not only that, but doctors also claimed my body was healthy and free of diseases.”
“I couldn’t accept these examination results because my headaches would strike every day at noon, and as time passed, there was no sign of relief.”
“Failing to find a cause or cure domestically, I had to go to the United States. Once there, through a friend’s connection, I underwent a detailed examination at the American Medical Research Society.”
“However, the results still showed no issues. In my extreme disappointment, President Monica personally met with me and diagnosed me. Three days later, President Monica let me try a new Western medicine they had recently developed. After taking it continuously for three months, the symptoms miraculously disappeared.”
In Chad Grace’s view, Leo sitting down to eat with Monica indicated Leo’s extraordinary identity. Therefore, he politely explained his situation to Leo.
After Chad Grace finished speaking, Monica intentionally asked, “Mr. Grace, before you came to the United States for treatment, did you see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?”
Chad Grace nodded, “Yes, I consulted more than ten old TCM doctors. They prescribed many Chinese herbal medicines, but instead of helping, they worsened my headaches.”
Monica didn’t say anything more but looked at Leo, wearing a smile of a triumphant victor.
Leo couldn’t help but chuckle at Monica’s childlike behavior. Oddly enough, Monica’s expression, in this context, appeared even more endearing.
“Mr. Grace, are your headache symptoms completely gone now?” Leo inquired.
Chad Grace showed a hint of difficulty on his face. “Since stopping the medication, I personally feel that it’s better. However, in the past few days, I occasionally experience slight headaches. I’m afraid of a relapse, so I planned to visit President Monica again in the United States. Unexpectedly, I ran into her here. It’s really a coincidence.”
Upon hearing this, Monica confidently stated, “Mr. Grace, you don’t need to worry about a relapse. The medicine you took before has been improved by our research society. I can assure you that with this new medicine, if you take it continuously for a month, your headache symptoms will not recur.”
Monica’s words delighted Chad Grace. “President Monica, do you have the medicine with you now? I want to buy it and continue taking it.”
Hearing their conversation, Leo smiled wryly and shook his head slightly.
Monica had been paying attention to Leo all along. Seeing this expression on his face, her previously triumphant and happy demeanor suddenly changed. She asked with some displeasure, “Dr. Bloomer, what does your wry smile and head shake mean? Are you questioning the authority and medical technology of the American Medical Research Society?”
