“What does Ms. Woods plan to use as a wager? Tell me, I’ll do whatever you want if I lose!” Flynn’s lips curved into a smirk, feeling pleased with himself.
She took the bait!
It was not easy to provoke this woman!
Layla Woods approached Flynn, her face as cold as ice, and whispered in his ear,
“If I win, you have to call my father and personally break off this engagement.”
Flynn couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Huh?
Layla Woods breaking off the engagement wasn’t at the behest of her family?
The patriarch of the Woods family didn’t know?
It was strange.
When he was just released from prison, Flynn thought it was the decision of the Woods family.
And from Layla Woods’ words, it seemed that the patriarch of the Woods family was more in favor of this engagement.
But ten years ago, wasn’t it the patriarch of the Woods family who instigated the Clark family to imprison him in the Demon Island Prison, where he almost lost his life?
It didn’t make any sense.
Incomprehensible!
Strange!
Ripples of confusion surged in Flynn’s mind, and he couldn’t quite understand.
“What? Don’t agree? Can’t let go of me?” Layla Woods sneered.
Her words brought Flynn back to reality.
“Fine! I agree,” Flynn said straightforwardly.
He couldn’t wait to distance himself from Layla Woods.
“Remember, you’re a man. Keep your word and don’t deny it afterwards.” Layla Woods turned away like she was avoiding a plague and quickly returned to her original position.
Everyone was puzzled.
They didn’t know what Layla Woods whispered to Flynn.
But one thing was certain, Flynn agreed.
Layla Woods was a Great Grandmaster with astonishing hearing ability. She heard the doubts from the audience below.
But this matter was private and couldn’t be openly discussed. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have endured getting close to Flynn despite feeling disgusted.
“Tell me your conditions,” Layla Woods said with an icy face, her voice cold.
Flynn smiled wryly. “My conditions are simple. If you lose, give me that clay pot you had earlier.”
“The one Kimber Doyle took away for brewing medicine.”
“Dragonsfire Cauldron?” Layla Woods couldn’t help but be taken aback. She sneered, “You must have heard about Dragonsfire Cauldron from someone else.”
“You know it’s a treasure given to me by my master. Do you want to win it and humiliate me?”
Flynn was slightly stunned.
Dragonsfire Cauldron was helpful for brewing medicine. It could maximize the efficacy of medical herbs.
It had some spiritual energy.
Layla Woods probably only knew this much.
In fact, Dragonsfire Cauldron had more uses than that.
Using it to refine iron was its true purpose.
Dragonsfire Cauldron could melt anything in the world, even diamonds.
“Yes! That’s what I want,” Flynn smiled faintly, naturally not telling Layla Woods the truth.
Layla Woods sneered disdainfully, “Alright then, but you might be disappointed.”
“You won’t win.”
She had a basic understanding of the patient’s condition, and she was confident in her treatment method.
Flynn, as an amateur, wanted to win with some secret recipe. It was harder than plucking stars from the sky.
In fact, she didn’t care about making any wager with Flynn. He wasn’t worthy of it.
But recently, the patriarch of the Woods family had been pressuring her to find Flynn.
Without hearing the reason from the patriarch, Layla Woods guessed that they wanted to force her to marry him.
This way, the patriarch of the Woods family could repay his debt.
But she would rather live alone for the rest of her life than marry Flynn against her will.
Forced by circumstances, she could only let Flynn meet her father in person and break off the engagement face-to-face.
If the man wanted to break off the engagement, her father wouldn’t say anything.
“Young man, are you sure you want to continue?” Mr. Hawthorne confirmed again.
Flynn’s words just now had truly angered him. In his decades of medical practice, it was the first time he had seen such an arrogant young man.
How dare he say Mr. Price and Green Liniment Ghost Doctor were just ordinary people?!
Ignorant brat!
Those two were pillars of Ostrad’s medical community!
Weren’t they worth anything in this young man’s eyes?
Flynn’s impression had hit rock bottom for Mr. Hawthorne.
But even though he was angry, Mr. Hawthorne wouldn’t lose his temper in front of so many people.
“Mr. Hawthorne, you can announce that we can begin,” Flynn said calmly.
Mr. Hawthorne nodded. “Since you insist on treating the patient, let’s begin.”
As soon as Mr. Hawthorne finished speaking…
Flynn picked up a pen and wrote a prescription. He handed it to Harriet and gave instructions on how to brew the medicine before sitting back in his chair and closing his eyes to rest.
He couldn’t play with his phone and felt bored.
“Wow! Is he sleeping? It seems like he’s putting all his hopes on that secret recipe!”
“Even Mr. Price had to use acupuncture to treat the patient. What makes him so special? Just a bragger!”
“I’ve never seen such a show-off before! Just wait for him to be slapped in the face. I’m embarrassed for this ignorant fool!”
Flynn’s words just now had completely offended the medical community.
Everyone was eagerly waiting for the results so they could mock Flynn afterwards.
Too arrogant!
Arrogant beyond measure!
Over hundreds of years, no one had ever seen a case where urticaria was cured with just one bowl of medicine.
Especially when the patient also had heart disease and it was aquagenic urticaria, which was the most complicated one.
Acupuncture and medicine could only control the disease. Yet, this guy wanted to cure them with just one bowl of medicine? What a joke!
If he killed people with his secret recipe, he deserved even greater blame!
After Mr. Hawthorne announced that they could begin, Layla Woods took out silver needles and focused on giving acupuncture treatment to the patient.
She didn’t even glance at Flynn.
That was just how she was. Once she started treating someone, she would give it her all and not be affected by anything around her.
Even if there was an earthquake, it wouldn’t affect her.
Lilia Hussain compared both of them and smiled with ease.
Flynn thought he could provoke Layla Woods with words and affect her performance? How naive!
Mr. Hawthorne also stopped paying attention to Flynn after announcing they could begin. He went directly to Layla Woods’ side and when she inserted the eighteenth acupuncture points, he couldn’t help but exclaim,
“Huh? Ms. Woods, I’ve never seen this needle technique before!”
It was well known that treating urticaria required increasing blood flow first. Acupuncture would open up all pores on the body for exchange with external airflow.
This needle technique perfectly avoided disturbing the heart acupoint while using a small circulation breathing technique to facilitate better blood circulation.
It was amazing. This method completely avoided closing off heart acupoints while making patients’ bodies feel as cool as water.
Their pores expanded. Their body temperature dropped.
The pores opened up like fish gills moving.
Obviously, natural energy from outside was entering the patient’s body.
Normally speaking, if there were problems with a patient’s heart and such cool things entered their bodies without closing off their heart acupoints… why wouldn’t their hearts be affected?
“This is called Dragonbane Needle. A technique I learned from my master three years ago.” Layla Woods didn’t lift her head and replied expressionlessly as she gently flicked her silver needles.
For a moment, eighteen silver needles hummed vibrantly.
The scene exploded!
“What! Dragonbane Needle? An ancient needle technique! Wasn’t it lost?”
“Dragonbane Needle technique can perfectly avoid disturbing the heart acupoint by using a small circulation breathing technique to increase the blood flow. It’s incredible! This method is incredible! Truly an extraordinary doctor! She has her own theories!”
“Dragonbane Needle technique is extremely difficult to control. Even a slight difference in depth won’t work. Dr. Woods handles it effortlessly while patients don’t feel any discomfort at all. Truly a medical genius! She surpasses everyone! I truly admire her!”
To prevent cheating during the treatment process, everything was projected onto a large screen through cameras.
Everyone in attendance saw everything clearly.
Layla Woods wasn’t afraid of others learning her needle technique either because ordinary people who hadn’t used Dragonbane Needle for decades or more wouldn’t dare use it for treatment.
It was too mystical, too difficult to control!
Layla Woods’ medical talent was terrifying. She mastered it perfectly within three years. If she wasn’t a prodigy, then who else could claim that?
A sigh rose from below. Their admiration for Layla Woods grew even crazier. Their eyes burned hotter.
Calling Layla Woods a star in heaven-wasn’t that an exaggeration?
Not at all!
All the young people in Ostrad looked up at her!
Even Mr. Hawthorne had to bow down!
What did Flynn have to compare with her?
