Chapter 16
After Neera and the three children left, Joanna remained worried.
Will Sire agree to the kids‘ suggestion?

She was worried that she might have to be separated from her crush, so she hastily
explained, “Sire, you might have recovered so quickly this time… because
you
received
immediate treatment! Acupuncture might stimulate your nerves, but who knows what
side effects it might bring? Your condition is very peculiar, and I hope you’ll let us stay
to continue to treat you!”
Jean did not reject the idea, though he said coldly, “I feel fine now. You can wait
outside.”
Joanna was happy to hear that. Does that mean he still needs us around?
It seems that Sire thinks I’m more important to him than that random quack doctor!
“Yes, Sire,” Joanna said, trying to suppress her joy. She led the medical team out of the
suite.
Only lan and Jean were left in the room.
Jean closed his eyes to stop his head from spinning. “That miracle doctor you
contacted. When will she be here?”

lan replied, “You mean Dr. Nancy? Her appointment is in two days! But why are you
asking…”
He paused for a second before continuing, “Are you thinking of replacing Dr. Bridges‘
team?”
Jean opened his eyes again. His voice remained calm. “Why not? Is there any reason I
should retain them? Even a random person from nowhere is better than her! My family
has spent so much money to fund her research, but my condition hasn’t improved.
Doesn’t that prove she’s not as skillful as she claims?”
lan did not have a retort to that. What Jean said made sense.
Even though Joanna’s team had many skilled doctors, it was the cold hard truth that
they did not improve Jean’s condition.
Now that the three children’s mother had saved Jean’s life, the difference in skill was
plain for all to see.
However, he still could not decide if that woman was really skilled, or if it was only a
lucky fluke!
Jean seemed to know what he was thinking. He said, “Don’t tell me you’re wondering if
she got lucky! My health has been declining over the past few years, and every time I
pass out, I won’t wake up for at least three days. This time, I was only out for two hours.

What does that say to you? It says that the woman… is skilled!”
lan was silent.
He recalled how fast and accurate the woman had been when applying the needles. If
she were not confident in her skills, she would not have volunteered to treat Jean!
He had indeed underestimated her!
“You are right. I’ve misjudged her.” lan admitted to his mistake.
Jean waved his hand and dismissed the topic. “That’s not important anymore. Our
paths will never cross again anyway.”
lan nodded. “That’s true. Once the miracle doctor comes in two days, you might be
completely cured!”
“Maybe,” Jean said. He did not put much hope into it.
After so many failures, the thought of being completely cured was an unattainable
luxury.
Moreover, it took the Beauvort family a lot of effort to find the “miracle doctor.” Who ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
could tell what might happen before he could meet her?
Like a self–fulfilling prophecy, lan received a call about half an hour later.

The call was from Dr. Lance Blumberg, a friend from abroad.
Lance said to lan, “Hey, lan, bad news! Dr. Nancy is canceling the appointment, and she
has already refunded the 30 million dollars!”
lan nearly dropped his phone. He said anxiously, “What? How is that possible? Didn’t
she already agree to treat Sire? Why did she suddenly change her mind? To think she’s
a professional doctor!”
Jean frowned when he heard that. He shot a glance at lan to indicate that he wanted to
listen to the conversation.
lan switched to the speaker.
Lance said, “I told you that Dr. Nancy is very eccentric.”
“That’s too irresponsible!” lan said annoyedly. “Doesn’t she care if her patients live or
die?”
Lance could tell that lan was very worried. He said, “Calm down! Even though Nancy
canceled the appointment, I’ve received reliable information that she’ll be in Kingsview
soon… I’m not sure exactly where, but you should have the means to find out for
yourself.”
Tan tried to keep his temper down. “I can look for her, but I don’t know anything about

her! If I don’t have a face or any characteristics to go by, what can I do?”
“I… can’t really give you a proper answer either,” Lance said with a wry smile. “Dr. Nancy
has always kept a low profile, and not many people are lucky enough to meet her. Don’t
worry though, wherever Dr. Nancy appears, you’ll definitely hear about it! She would
usually appear at medical conferences or major hospitals… That’s where you should be
looking for her!”
lan’s expression softened a bit after hearing that.
At least he had a lead now.
He had to find Dr. Nancy to treat Jean no matter what!
Lance and lan chatted for a while before hanging up.
Jean listened to the entire conversation. His expression was as frigid as it could get.
lan tried to comfort him, “Don’t worry, Sire. I’ll do my best to find Dr. Nancy.”
Jean ordered, “Spare no cost in finding Dr. Nancy! I’d like to see why she has such a
huge ego!”
Even though he did not carry too much hope that Dr. Nancy would cure him, he could
not tolerate her canceling the appointment!
