Chapter 407: No Matter How You Look at It, It Seems Like a Scam!_1
Carson Flores looked at the old man’s warm and encouraging eyes, sighed softly in his heart, and acknowledged that the gentleman was indeed kind-hearted.
Just moments before, Mr. Gong from the Sect of Natural Birth had examined the old man and found himself at a loss, unable to determine the cause of the illness. Even Leonard Reid, who had witnessed Carson’s extraordinary medical skills, dared not claim that Carson could cure him, let alone anyone else believing that Carson would have a way.
Ford Howell had already subtly declined, but the old gentleman took the initiative to ask for treatment, admitting he feared death. Where in truth was the fear of death? It was clearly a way for Ford Howell and Carson Flores to step down gracefully.
He might not believe in his heart that Carson would have a way, but he was willing to accept Leonard Reid’s goodwill and kindly spared Carson Flores any embarrassment.
Good man!
Of course, Ford Howell wished for his father’s recovery. His earlier hesitation was, in fact, to avoid burdening his frail father with the rigors of a medical examination, which would involve some distress and questions and might pose a burden to his weakened state.
Seeing his father speak in this manner, Ford Howell knew his father’s good-hearted nature was showing through. He could only point to the chair in front of the sickbed and say, "Please... make it quick."
Carson Flores nodded: "Mr. Howell, don’t worry, it won’t take too long. The gentleman can simply lie down."
Ford Howell, seeing Carson’s compliance, relaxed somewhat, gestured for him to proceed, and said no more.
