Chapter 4 Be My Wife
- "Leave this place!"
- The icy woman snapped with disdain.
- This man's flippant attitude is disgustingly off-putting!
- "Miss, considering how good-looking you are, I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said and give you another chance."
- Gale spoke kindly.
- Nora Wheeler's brow creased, a chill settling over her demeanour.
- She placed a call.
- Her voice was resolute.
- "Mr. Raven, I'm in the Traditional Medicine Department. Could you come here, please?"
- "You're in deep trouble now, creep! Do you even realise who she is? Haha, my cousin won't have to lift a finger; you'll be thrown out of this hospital!"
- Paige exclaimed triumphantly, hands planted firmly on her hips.
- Gale lounged against the nurse's station, letting out a lazy yawn.
- "Miss, do you understand the consequences of Yin Energy Cold Syndrome?
- "Feeling burn on the night of summer.
- "Body cold and broken on the night of winter.
- "But these are not the worst consequences!
- "Within half a year, the chill will ravage your central meridian, leading to a painful demise!"
- Nora scowled at him.
- What he said is exactly the same as what Ms. Fleet said.
- But Ms. Fleet can't cure it. She can only provide temporary relief.
- "Now that you know my condition, do you have a remedy?"
- "I do, but it depends on you."
- Gale nodded subtly in acknowledgement.
- "I'll give you 1.5 million dollars."
- Nora stretched out a slender, porcelain-white finger.
- "It's not about wealth."
- "Then what is it about?"
- "Nora, don't fall for this twisted nonsense! He talks of sincerity, but it might just be a ploy to make you his wife!" Paige interjected sharply.
- To everyone's surprise, Gale nodded in accord.
- "Exactly!"
- "Wow, you pervert, is this really your plan?"
- Paige was truly impressed by his boldness.
- Aura Amore, founded by Nora, was the largest cosmetics company in Rockville.
- Valued at 2.7 billion dollars in the market!
- Supported by the Wheeler family, the largest distributor of traditional medicine in the province.
- She's truly a pampered lady!
- Can this insignificant man sway her?
- "Miss, the Yin Energy within you is innate, and after over two decades of cultivation, it's no longer that simple.
- "Even for me, it requires a solid three months, with potential risks to my life. If you weren't my wife, why would I undertake such peril?
- "Look far and wide across the country, only I possess the remedy for you!
- "Even if Lorrenvia's Wonder Doctor were to arrive, he'd be powerless!"
- His words hushed the entire nurse station.
- Everyone scoffed at him.
- Lorrenvia's Wonder Doctor?
- The revered figure among all doctors in Lorrenvia.
- Even modern medicine doctors returning from overseas studies must pay respect!
- "Young man, who granted you permission to boast in my hospital?
- "And profess superiority over the Wonder Doctor?
- "Have your parents and elders not taught you any manners?"
- A stern rebuke followed.
- A man in his sixties, with hair half-white, hurried over, his countenance marked by solemnity and dignity.
- "Mr. Raven, is this the new director of the Traditional Medicine Department that the hospital has appointed?"
- Nora let out a cold chuckle.
- The elderly man was visibly startled.
- Director of the Traditional Medicine Department? Isn't Gianna Fleet the director?
- Furthermore, this person isn't even from our hospital!
- If he truly holds a directorial position, there should have been an official appointment process.
- However, I have never laid eyes on this arrogant guy before.
- "Posing as our hospital staff can get you a minimum of three years in prison!
- "Contact the police officer and have them arrest this person!"
- The elderly man looked at the young nurses in the nurse's station and gave the order.
- As the hospital director, his words carried absolute authority.
- "Hmph, this audacious scoundrel had the nerve to inquire about my measurements earlier, utterly shameless."
- "He barged in and queried if any of us were his fiancée, pestering everyone. How irritating."
- "Exactly."
- Clang!
- Gale stumbled, causing a sandalwood box to crash to the ground.
- The lid slammed open!
- Inside the box, a perfectly arranged set of 180 silver needles lay on a plush cushion.
- Each needle sported a slender, firm, and flexible tip, embellished with intricate dragon-shaped engravings.
- "This ... this!"
- Upon seeing the silver needles, the elderly man regarded them as if he had seen a deity.
- In an instant, he rushed over, deeply moved and agitated.
- His sweat poured down like rain!
- "Old man, don't touch my silver needles. These are treasures passed down by my sect for a thousand years!"
- Gale pretended to be distressed as he snatched them back.
- But how could these things break so easily?
- After millennia of inheritance and refinement by the sect's ancestors, these things were virtually indestructible! Even if you tried to chop them with a knife, the blade would chip off.
- The elderly man felt a chill down his spine, as if the wonder doctor had arrived.
- He was so overwhelmed with excitement that words failed him.
- He bowed respectfully, hands clasped in greeting.
- "I am Arlo Raven, the Director of the Grand Hospital. I am honoured to welcome your esteemed visit, Sir."
- This man is a direct disciple of Wonder Doctor!
