Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Doing What One Can
Back at the Cole Family’s house, July Quinn asked Shelly Cole to settle the elderly man in the guest room, while she went back to her room to find the silver needle.
Shelly Cole and July Quinn had gone out and brought back an unconscious elderly man, which was not a small matter, and soon alarmed Elder Cole and Nora Cole.
"Who is this?"
Looking at the unconsciously frail, sick-looking old man, Nora Cole was full of questions.
"We were at Apothecary Hale’s clinic..."
Shelly Cole recounted what they saw and heard at the clinic today, including July Quinn’s claim that she could cure the elderly man.
"July can heal him? Dad, can July treat illnesses and save people?"
Nora Cole didn’t know much about July Quinn and could only look at Elder Cole with doubt.
"I’ve heard from Quinn that July previously learned some medical skills under an elder with the last name Mu, but I’m not sure to what extent she learned."
Quinn was worried that July Quinn and Laura Quinn looked too similar. If July became too famous, she might attract the attention of the ruthless Joseph Mason, so he always asked July to conceal her abilities.
So even Elder Cole wasn’t very sure how capable July Quinn was at present, or if she could really cure the elderly man’s illness.
"What should we do? What if July fails to cure him and even causes him to..."
Nora didn’t finish the sentence.
But everyone understood that the elderly man’s condition looked quite bad now. If July Quinn failed to cure him and instead accidentally caused his death, it could potentially lead to a lawsuit.
Elder Cole pondered for a long time and finally said, "It’s okay; if anything goes wrong, we’ll first send him to the hospital for treatment. If it doesn’t work out, at most, I’ll bear the responsibility for her."
"Dad?"
"It’s nothing. My everything now, including my life, was given by Miss Laura, so now for her daughter, I will protect her as much as I can."
When Elder Cole was young, he failed in business and attempted suicide by jumping into a river, but Laura Quinn saved him.
Later, Elder Cole joined the Quinn Family’s security team.
Until Laura Quinn later left the Quinn Family and had Elder Cole stay in the country to protect the children, only then did Elder Cole have the opportunity to develop the Cole Family to its current scale.
However, he never forgot his roots and always remembered Laura Quinn’s debt of gratitude.
So regardless of what happened, he would always protect Laura Quinn’s children, allowing them to grow up without worries.
Nora Cole initially wanted to persuade Elder Cole, but after hearing him mention Laura Quinn’s life-saving kindness, she said no more.
Just as Elder Cole stated, indeed, the Cole Family owed a lot of favors to the Quinn Family.
So as long as there was a chance to repay them, they would do it to the best of their ability.
As the Cole family discussed this, July Quinn also arrived at the guest room with the silver needle.
Unaware of the previous conversation, July Quinn quickly started acupuncture on the elderly man.
Amidst the Cole Family’s anxiousness, not only did the elderly man gradually regain consciousness, but his sallow complexion also improved significantly.
At that moment, almost everyone’s faces in the Cole Family showed a hint of surprise.
The surprise was not just because the elderly man didn’t die, but also because July Quinn indeed possessed astounding medical skills...
At this point, the elderly man, realizing he was still alive, was both happy and sad.
"Why did you bring me back home?"
Living was good, but carrying such an illness would only burden the family.
"Grandpa, I told you I could cure you, and I really can. Haven’t you noticed that the unbearable abdominal pain from before is already gone?"
