Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Such Principles
"Old man, you look like the eldest here, and probably the most respected, so we need you as a witness for this competition."
"Fine, but could you not call me old man? I remember you called me grandpa before."
Even though July Quinn’s rudeness to Dr. Hale today left Zachary wide-eyed, he still quite liked July calling him grandpa in that soft and sweet voice.
"That’s not going to work. You’re standing on his side now, which makes you my enemy. Since you’re the enemy, being overly polite to you wouldn’t be fitting."
July Quinn had always been someone who clearly distinguished between love and hate.
"What if I stop siding with Dr. Hale in the future?"
For some reason, discovering July Quinn’s strong principles made Zachary like her even more than before.
"Let’s talk about the future in the future."
July Quinn never liked discussing future matters.
After all, her primary doctor had declared that she wouldn’t live past twenty-five.
"Alright then, do your best."
What a principled child!
Zachary couldn’t persuade her, so all he could do was cheer her on.
After this, Zachary had Simon Hale hand over the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill to him.
Meanwhile, Owen Shaw also had two stroke patients brought to the director’s office.
Both stroke patients had been mostly treated and were currently transferred to the hospital’s rehabilitation center.
Due to limited mobility, their relatives brought them in wheelchairs.
Owen Shaw informed them that this treatment would be free, with a certain chance of full recovery, which was very enticing to them.
After examining them, Simon Hale made the following arrangement.
"The symptoms of this lady are more severe, while this gentleman’s are lighter. Considering the age gap between us, I’ll let you take the gentleman with lighter symptoms, to avoid being accused of using my age to bully you."
"Thank you, but it’s not necessary. In treatment, fate with a doctor is what counts, so the choice should be theirs."
In front of the patients, July Quinn was not as sharp as before.
Simon Hale snorted coldly, "Alright, let’s present our treatment plans and let them choose."
Since she refused the compromise, he wouldn’t hold back.
"Sure."
After July Quinn nodded in agreement, Simon Hale started speaking with great flair.
Claiming to be the top Divine Doctor in Esteria, having treated countless people, and ensuring a 30% improvement in mobility for the patients this time, and so forth.
In short, his pitch was pretty thrilling.
Not much different from salespeople peddling health supplements to the elderly.
The male patient and his family were very impressed.
The female patient’s family also leaned towards Simon Hale, though the patient herself showed no expression.
Very soon, it was July Quinn’s turn.
"Hello, I’m July Quinn. I’m not as good at bragging as he is, but I can use my medical skills to have you fully recover in thirty minutes."
July Quinn’s tone was level, as if she were talking about today’s weather.
Yet everything she said left others in shock.
"Full recovery in thirty minutes? Is she kidding?" The male patient questioned with a sneer.
Ever since his stroke and hospitalization, he’d dreamed of full recovery.
But his family had sought doctors everywhere, only to have it end inconclusively.
So he was convinced that July Quinn was definitely bluffing.
And it wasn’t just him; his son thought the same.
"Look at her, she’s so young, definitely lacking in medical expertise. People without real skills are the ones who boast the most. Dad, let’s choose Dr. Hale."
"Absolutely."
