They hadn’t seen such a happy smile on Isabelle’s face in a long time.
Next, Leo walked over to Isabelle and started playing volleyball with her.
Before long, Isabelle’s white princess dress was dirty.
At this moment, Isabelle was a completely different person from the one lying in bed earlier.
Her face no longer had a sickly pallor but was instead flushed with a healthy glow.
Her previously dull eyes now sparkled with the brightness of a child.
Anyone could see that Isabelle was healthier than she had ever been.
Prince George, surprised, couldn’t help but run over and pick up his sister. “Isabelle, how do you feel now? Is there any discomfort?”
“George, I’m dirty. Put me down. I feel great. I’ve never felt this way before,” Isabelle laughed.
In contrast to Isabelle’s rosy complexion, Brier’s face was pale, and he kept muttering, “How is this possible… How could this happen…”
Leo walked up to Brier with a smile. “Doc Brier, you can call me Master now.”
“The apprenticeship ceremony of Atraria requires three kneels and nine kowtows with tea. Since there’s no tea, just kneel and kowtow.”
Cold sweat appeared on Brier’s forehead.
Kneel and kowtow?
He was the president of the European Medical Research Society, and now he had to kneel to an Atrarian kid?
The most humiliating part was that this Atrarian kid practiced traditional medicine.
In other words, it meant that European modern doctors, represented by him, had to bow to Atrarian traditional medicine!
Seeing Brier wipe his sweat without saying a word, Leo’s voice turned cold. “Doc Brier, are you planning to renege on your promise?”
Prince George put Isabelle down and looked at Brier with a cold voice. “Brier, I witnessed your bet with Dr. Leo. If you don’t honor it, today’s events will quickly spread back to Europe. Your reputation will collapse, and you can’t blame me.”
Isabelle’s improvement was evident, all thanks to Leo, so Prince George naturally stood by Leo.
“I…” Brier’s face was extremely awkward. As the Royal House of Albion’s physician, he knew their influence well.
If he didn’t fulfill the bet today, it would be equivalent to offending the Royal House of Albion. His decades-long reputation would be ruined, and he might even lose his position as president of the European Medical Research Society.
Thinking of this, Brier deeply regretted betting with Leo.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Brier looked at Leo with a pleading expression. “Dr. Leo, can we change the terms of the bet?”
Leo shook his head firmly. “No! I believe Doc Brier is a man of his word. Otherwise, no one will trust you as a doctor anymore.”
For his reputation and career, Brier finally chose to honor the bet. “Alright, I can acknowledge you as my master, but can I not stay in Atraria? I have many things to handle back home.”
“Not staying isn’t impossible, but it depends on your attitude towards your master,” Leo said with a smile.
Brier understood Leo’s meaning. Swallowing hard and glancing at Prince George, he gritted his teeth and knelt before Leo, kowtowing.
As he kowtowed, Brier said, “Master, your disciple Brier greets you…”
Leo couldn’t help but laugh. He hadn’t expected Brier to humble himself so much.
At this moment, Brier’s previous pride and arrogance were gone.
Hearing Leo laugh, Brier looked up in surprise. “Leo-no, Master, did I do something wrong?”
Leo helped him up and solemnly said, “Brier, from today on, you are my second disciple. Congratulations on joining Atrarian traditional medicine.”
“Second disciple?” Brier was slightly stunned.
Leo nodded. “Yes, I have another female disciple who is your senior sister. Her name is Shiloh.”
“Oh, alright,” Brier said bitterly.
Leo secretly laughed. If Brier knew his senior sister was younger than him, who knows what he’d think.
Seeing the bet fulfilled, Prince George smiled and said, “Doc Brier, I have a strong feeling that becoming Dr. Leo’s disciple is your good fortune. Let’s take a photo together.”
Prince George called Isabelle over for a group photo.
Standing next to Leo, Brier’s smile looked like he was crying.
At this moment, his heart bled. A man over sixty years old bowing to a young Atrarian traditional medicine practitioner-was this really good fortune?
Later events proved that it indeed was Brier’s good fortune.
In the evening, Leo stayed for dinner with Prince George and others.
Prince George eagerly asked, “Dr. Leo, how many more treatments like today will my sister need to fully recover?”
Prince George’s question puzzled everyone. The doctors exchanged glances with strange expressions.
Leo’s treatment method was too peculiar yet effective.
Leo thought for a moment and said, “Four or five more days should stabilize her condition. Tomorrow have someone come to my clinic; I’ll prescribe medicine to strengthen her body. Follow my instructions for brewing and administering it.”
“One last thing: when you return home, don’t confine Isabelle to her room. Let her go outside and connect with nature.”
“Thank you, Dr. Leo. I’ll take good care of my sister as you advised,” Prince George said gratefully. “When I return home, I’ll definitely promote Atrarian traditional medicine!”
After dinner, Prince George arranged for a car to take Leo back to Cloud Dream Mountain Villa.
