Mighty soldier king (Peter Wang)

Chapter 43



Chapter 43

"Daaaad! It's for you!" Peter woke up from his ringtone abruptly, ending his dream. 'This sucks!' was the

first thought in his head.

"Who is this?" Peter answered impatiently.

"Peter, my mom is very ill. Please come to the hospital and treat her. NOW!" The anxious voice from

the other end of the line immediately sobered Peter up.

Not bothering to change or shower, Peter rushed to the hospital.

The girl who called was Audrey. He couldn't understand why Grace's illness was still recurrent even

after he had treated her several times. The treatments should have been enough to cure her totally.

Peter pushed his thoughts aside. They wouldn't help for now. The most important thing was that he got

to see Grace as soon as possible.

"There you are. Go to my mom, now!" Audrey said, greeting Peter immediately at the hospital entrance.

Her eyes were red and swollen. It looked like she had been crying.

"What happened?" Peter asked as they were running towards the ward.

"Yesterday, my auntie visited, bringing along a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. She

suggested that mom would get treatment from that person, and my mom felt too shy to say no.

The person did acupuncture on mom several times. We didn't pay much attention to it because it

seemed harmless; but today, her illness seems to have gotten worse!"

Audrey narrated.

Finally arriving at the floor of Grace's ward, They navigated through a crowd, all looking anxious. It was

impossible to tell if they were sincere or not.

Accompanying James were a man and a woman. He was clearly in a bad mood, but he maintained a

respectful demeanor.

"Dad, Peter is here, " Audrey told James loudly as they approached.

James walked towards Peter. "You're finally here!" he said, relieved. "We're all counting on you. Please

save Grace."

"Let me see her first." Peter rushed towards the ward, wasting no time.

Vicky, the woman beside James stopped him abruptly. "James, who is he? My sister is being treated by

Doctor Wu and Director Wang. They shouldn't be disturbed!"

She was about forty and had a voluptuous figure. She looked really good for her age. However, her

intrusive tone made Peter feel uncomfortable.

"Auntie, this is the doctor who treated mom last time. He can help!" Audrey answered quickly.

"Doctor? How can he cure my sister?" Vicky looked at Peter, unconvinced. "Are you sure he's a doctor,

Audrey? He looks too young to be one."

Before Audrey could answer, Vicky shouted at Peter, "Which hospital do you work for?"

"I don't work for any hospital, but I can cure her, " Peter replied, scrunching his eyebrows.

"How can you cure my sister without even being a doctor?" Vicky asked, skeptic. "You want my sister to

die, don't you? How could you let a random guy come in and treat her?" she accused James. "Don't

pretend like you care! I can see through you, you hypocrite!"

"Auntie, Peter can really..." Audrey tried to say something but she was stopped by her aunt. "Shut up,

Audrey! You're a university student! You should know a scam when you see one!"

"And you, fraud!" she said, addressing Peter, "How dare you prey on a sick woman like my sister. I

should be calling the police now and have you arrested!"

"Stop it!" James couldn't take it anymore. "Just stop it. I know you look down on me, but please don't

insult anyone else."

"Insult? Well, I'm just insulting you! Who do you think you are? I'm not like other people who fear you,

James! It's just too obvious that this guy is not qualified to give out treatments! He's a quack doctor! He

will not be able to treat my sister!"

James stayed calm despite his rising anger at his sister-in-law making a commotion out of nothing.

Audrey, though, didn't care much about what other people thought. "Auntie, how could you be so

shameless? Mom is in a comma now because of the quack doctor YOU brought. How can you blame

my dad for what YOU did?"

Pak!

Vicky slapped Audrey furiously. "Quack doctor? How dare you address Doctor Wu as a quack one? Are

you saying I intentionally hurt my own sister?"

Audrey was about to answer when the door of the ward opened suddenly and out came two men.

Vicky quickly approached them. "Doctor Wu, how is my sister? Are there improvements?"

Doctor Wu was about sixty years old and had a long grizzled beard. He had an air of calm wisdom and

superiority, similar to Chinese ancient gods.

"I'm sorry. I did everything I could. I should have been able to cure her, but she seems to have received

too many wrong treatments before. Now her illness is worse and there is no way for me to salvage the

situation anymore, " he replied with a heavy sigh.

Vicky's face turned cold.

Audrey almost burst in fury. 'Who does this Doctor Wu think he is? Bastard! How dare he!'

In her fury, she drove a kick towards the old man, but Peter stopped her before her foot could land on

her target.

Peter was about to enter the ward after calming Audrey down.

He wanted to beat the quack doctor himself and tie Audrey's auntie up, but he knew that he had to

focus on Grace first.

Someone stopped him again as he was about to enter the room.

This time, it was Doctor Wu.

"You can't go in there, young man. The patient needs to rest and cannot be disturbed."

"I know some good treatments that could address her symptoms. I want to give it a shot, maybe I can

cure her, " Peter replied.

"Doctor Wu, this is the quack doctor who gave the wrong treatments to my sister! He's the reason why

she's very sick now. I'll call the police and have him arrested!" Audrey's aunt took out her phone and

started to dial.

Doctor Wu's grasp at Peter grew tighter when he heard Vicky's words. "You! If it weren't for you, we

would have cured Mrs. Xie! I will not allow you to do any more harm!"

"You old bastard!" Peter screamed, fed up with all the false accusations. "You're the quack doctor here!

Everything you did was wrong, and that's the reason why Mrs. Xie is in the worst situation now. You're

despicable! Shame on you! Get out of my way!" NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"How dare you! You can't talk to me like that!" Mr. Wu was infuriated. "Even I can't cure her, what can

you do..."

"So what now?" Peter boomed. "If you can cure her, be my guest. If not, don't waste my time. Every

second counts and the longer we take fighting, the fewer chances we have for saving Mrs. Xie, "

Peter said, shoving Mr. Wu aside and entering the ward. "Do not let anybody disturb me in the next two

hours!" he told James as he was rushing in.

Doctor Wu followed, wanting to fight Peter, but James closed the door before him, guarding it with cold

finality.

Doctor Wu couldn't be angrier. "What the hell are you doing? You trust this guy more than me?"
