Chapter 15 His Private Doctor
Hearing that the topic was about him, Lucas just crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows silently.
It was Mason who spoke first, “Yes, any reward is negotiable. Speaking of which, we must be fated to meet Doctor Armstrong.” Mr. Hawking looked at Emily with some surprise, then looked at them. “What, you know each other?” Mason smiled. “Isn’t that right?” He touched his nose and explained their previous meeting. “Young Master Greens and I were in the car. It just so happened that Ms. Armstrong and I had a little… traffic dispute. The cars crashed into each other, and we got to know each other. At that time, I didn’t know that Ms. Armstrong was such a master.”
When this matter was mentioned, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Mason turned to Emily and said in a serious tone, “Ms. Armstrong, regarding the accident, we can drop it. We won’t ask for any compensation from you. Even… If possible, we hope to hire you to be our young master’s private doctor.” Lucas did not express his opinion, which meant that he agreed. Emily was stunned. She did not expect that things would go this way. It was too sudden. She had not thought about these things and her mind was a little confused Now she had to respond. She said, “I don’t dare to take on such a specialized role. If I were an expert, I wouldn’t be living such a miserable life right now.” Her words were self-deprecating. She was so down and out now, she didn’t dare to aspire to such lofty heights. It was just that… when they heard her say ‘miserable life’, they took it as meaning something else. “Ms. Armstrong is not satisfied with our offer? Is it because of the payment? No need to be shy. Name your price.” Lucas finally spoke. This was the first time Emily had heard his voice. His voice was very pleasant, low and magnetic, like the whisper of the rolling ocean. She felt like she would sink into its depths, especially when she looked at his exceedingly rapturous face. Emily thought about his true identity. This man looked extremely noble and wealthy. his family background must be incredible.
If she agreed to their terms for 100,000 yuan, she would definitely have to bear responsibility for his treatment. And if something happened, there was no way she could shoulder the negative consequences. The best way was to pay back the money she owed them and continue on with her simple but happy life. Thinking of this, she gently expressed her refusal: “I know my own limits. I’m afraid I’m not as great of a healer as you may imagine me to be, today was just a fluke.”
After two rejections, Mr. Hawking could tell that Emily was truly unwilling.
“Ms. Armstrong, you are not willing to treat him. Can you tell me the reason?”
He did not give up. He wanted to fight for Lucas. Ancient medical skills were not common. If she was willing to treat him, whether she could cure him or not, it would definitely improve his physical condition.
“My medical skills are not good. I dare not act as his doctor.”
In front of them, she naturally could not say the true reason, she just continue to muddle her way through. Mr. Hawking still wanted to say something, but Lucas’ cold voice came out first, “If Ms. Armstrong doesn’t agree, then don’t force her. Grandpa Hawking, it’s okay just let
it go.”
He glanced at Emily, his gaze so cold that it seemed as if it would turn her into ice. “Perhaps this time, Ms. Armstrong really was just lucky. If Ms. Armstrong really has
excellent medical skills, why would she refuse like this?” He did not hide the distrust and sarcasm in his words at all, he was trying to goad Emily Emily raised her eyebrows. Just as she was about to say something, Mr. Hawking became anxious. He walked forward and patted Lucas on the shoulder. “Brat, what are you doing? It wasn’t easy to find someone who can treat you. Are you going to give up just like that? Do you want to die?” Lucas didn’t say anything and walked over to the bed. Mr. Hawking turned to Emily and said in a softer tone, “Little girl, as the saying goes, saving a life is better than
building a seven-storied pagoda. For the two years you have been doing business with me, I have taken care of you. Can you help me save this kid?”
Emily’s heart softened. She thought about how she and Mr. Hawking had known each other for so many years, and he was indeed good to her.
When doing business, he was never stingy with money, nor did he ever try to cheat her.
Wasn’t this because he felt pity for her, a woman raising two children by herself?

If she did not agree, she was afraid that it be a slight to Mr. Hawking and make things awkward between them. In the future, she still had to come here to do business. She was a little hesitant, whether she should agree.
She glanced at Lucas. His eyes were cold and he did not look at anyone.
He casually sat on the bed buttoning up his black shirt. His collar was slightly open.
With just a casual glance, she saw his chest. His white skin was shining under the sunlight.
She spotted something on his chest, a colored tattoo. It looked like the sharp eye of an eagle.
The moment she saw the tattoo, Emily felt all the blood in her body freeze, and she froze in place.
The pattern of the eagle eye was familiar.
For five years, every time she dreamed and fell into a nightmare, the man in the dream who had ruined her reputation had a similar tattoo on his chest.
