Larry flipped through the medical report and said, “The patient has been bedridden for too long. He haslow levels of immunity, and there are signs of joint contracture along his Achilles tendon. Also, he didnot maintain a proper dietary intake, so his body lacks the necessary vitamins and nutrients, or in otherwords, he is malnourished.”When Larry noticed the frown on Kingsley’s face, he hurriedly added,“However, due to the patient’s active lifestyle prior to this, his body is still in relatively good health. Theaforementioned symptoms will not pose too much of a problem.”“Explain.”“Malnutrition can be easilyaddressed with a gradual increase in dietary intake, while the Achilles tendon contracture can beremedied with physical therapy,” Larry elaborated. “It’s clear that the patient’s family has taken verygood care of him. The patient doesn’t have any of the usual rashes, sores, or inflammation that weusually see in bedridden patients.”Kingsley nodded. “This means that he will fully recover once we lookinto his nutrition, treat his paralysis, and conduct physical therapy?”“Yes… Uhh, actually no…” Larry’sexpression became a little awkward. “About that… Let me be frank with you. His injury is on his lumbarspine, and it has been a very long time, so there is very little hope of him regaining the ability towalk…”Kingsley had a faint smile on his face. “You don’t need to worry about that. I have my ways oftreating him.”All the other doctors present, including Larry, were left speechless.Even Alice mutteredunder her breath, “Kingsley, what are you saying? Even I can tell that there’s no hope in treating hisinjury. Don’t make a fool out of yourself by speaking so carelessly.”Kingsley smirked and did not botherdefending himself.All would be proven once he performed acupuncture on Joshua the day aftertomorrow!Kingsley lowered his eyes to gaze at Joshua, who was lying on the hospital bed. He spokereassuringly, “Did you hear that, Mr. Johnson? The doctors said that your body is in good condition.The hospital will be giving you nutritional supplements for the next two days, so just stay here and havea good rest. You don’t need to worry about anything else.”Overwhelmed with emotion, Joshua trembledas he grasped Kingsley’s hand and declared, “Thank you. Really, Thank you so much, Mr. Nicholson. Inever thought that I would be able to get such a thorough medical checkup.”“You don’t need to thankme. This is all credited to Leroy’s excellent performance at the company, and it’s the company that’s
providing this benefit in return.” He took a look around the room and asked curiously, “Didn’t you tellLeroy about you coming to the hospital? Why isn’t he here?”Joshua wiped his grateful tears away andexplained, “I did tell him, but he said that he was supervising on-site, so he couldn’t leave.”Kingsleynodded in understanding. He recognized that this was Leroy’s way of repaying him.He could not helpbut sigh at Leroy’s innocence and sincerity.“Don’t worry, Mr. Johnson. The company will ensure thatLeroy takes a few days off to come and accompany you,” Kingsley said. “Make sure you rest well overthese two days. I’ll start your treatment the day after tomorrow.”“Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Nicholson. Iam forever in your debt…”Joshua’s tears were streaming down his face as he thanked Kingsleyprofusely.At the same time, all the other doctors exchanged glances with one another and sharedsimilar looks of derision.They were all specialists in different medical fields, and they had looked intoJoshua’s injury in great detail. There was no hope for recovery at all.Yet Kingsley kept repeating that hewould be treating Joshua in a few days.How could that even happen?However, none of them dared tovoice their doubts due to Kingsley’s status.They could only purse their lips and exchange scornfulexpressions with one another.Alice noticed their behaviors.Her lips twitched as she decided to replace atime to knock some sense into Kingsley.Where did he learn to talk big at such a young age?Now thatKingsley was assured about Joshua’s condition, there was no need for him to stay on any longer.Heneeded to head back to Coliree Group and see if Lancer had any updates after his interrogation withJonas Kolstad and Karl Osberg.“Alice, could you look after Mr. Johnson for a bit?” Kingsley asked. “I’llget his son to come over this afternoon.”“Alright. Don’t worry, I’ll be here at the hospital, so you don’tneed to be concerned about Reene or Mr. Johnson.”Just a moment ago, Alice had been contemplatinghow she intended to lecture Kingsley for his actions, but looking at his face, she lost all the fight in her.Itseemed like no matter what Kingsley asked of her, she would agree without a second thought.Shewouldn’t even hesitate at all.After instructing Larry and the other doctors to take good care of Joshua,Kingsley and Alice exited the ward.In the corridor, two people stepped out from the restrooms dressedin cleaners’ uniforms.They were carrying a mop and several rags with them, and their expressionswere filled with discomfort and contempt.It turned out to be Jennifer Crawford and Brian Malkovich, thetwo who had mocked Alice.“It’s you?”
