The Urban Romance of Miracle Doctor

Chapter 50 Meeting Master Connor again

　　　　The nurse hurriedly took the prescription and left.

　　　　After treating Brandon Feng, it was getting dark. Jacob Ye refused Gavin Feng's invitation for dinner and left the hospital.

　　　　As soon as he walked out of the room, an old man came over. It was Elder Master Connor, whom he had met once that night.

　　　　"Jacob Ye?" Elder Master Connor had already known Jacob Ye's name from the Chief Physicist. He came over with a surprised face and said, "I finally meet you again."

　　　　Jacob Ye smiled and said, "It's you, Master Connor. What's the matter?"

　　　　Master Connor said with admiration, "Doctor Ye's medical skills are really unparalleled in this world. I left in a hurry that night, so I have no chance to discuss medical treatments with you."

　　　　Jacob Ye smiled and said, "Master Connor must be joking. You are the best doctor in Oakdale. As an intern, I don't deserve your praise."

　　　　Elder Master Connor shook his hand and said, "Jacob, don't be so modest. I know what happened that night. Even if I were to do that operation, I only had 20 to 30 percent confidence. And you did it so easily. You are really bold. Haha!"

　　　　Thinking of the situation that night, Jacob Ye also sighed. "That night, there was no other way. The patient was in a critical situation. If we didn't take action, I was afraid that we couldn't save his life. As a doctor, I couldn't bear to do so."

　　　　Elder Master Connor also sighed, "Sigh, everyone is afraid of taking responsibility! By the way, Jacob, where did you learn your medical skills from? How can you have such excellent medical skills at such a young age?" Elder Master Connor suddenly remembered.

　　　　Jacob Ye said, "My grandfather taught me. My ancestors have been practicing medicine for generations. Although my uncles don't like it, the inheritance can't be broken. So they forced me to learn medicine since I was a child."

　　　　"Oh, then your grandfather must be a great Master. If you have time, you must introduce us," Elder Master Connor said.

　　　　Jacob Ye sighed. "It's been nearly ten years since my grandfather passed away."

　　　　"Well, that’s a pity." Elder Master Connor was stunned and then felt a little sorry.

　　　　"Jacob, there is a case that I want to consult your opinion..."

　　　　They were discussing medical skills in the corridor. When they were about to leave, it was already late. Before leaving, Elder Master Connor took out his business card and said, "Jacob, I'm teaching at a Chinese Medicine University. I have time. I want to invite you to help me with two classes. What do you think?"

　　　　Jacob Ye smiled bitterly and said, "Master Connor, I am just a student. How can I teach your students?"

　　　　Elder Master Connor said, "It doesn't matter how old you are, only your medical skills matter. That's settled. I'll call you when school starts."

　　　　After that, Elder Master Connor took Jacob’s phone number and left.

　　　　Jacob Ye returned to the internship department to take a look. Dr. Xu, the doctor who used to be his supervisor, had not gotten off work yet.

　　　　Before this, Dr. Xu had treated him well, Jacob Ye went forward to say hello to Dr. Xu.

　　　　Seeing that it was Jacob Ye, Dr. Xu immediately stood up enthusiastically.

　　　　After chatting with Dr. Xu for a while, Jacob learned that Director Liu had been fired for accepting patients’ bribes.

　　　　As the saying goes, karma is a b*tch. Director Liu, who was insufferably arrogant, finally got what he deserved.

　　　　After leaving the hospital, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Jacob Ye drove around and inadvertently reached the bank of the Qing River.

　　　　The breeze by the river was cooling. On the riverbank, there were many barbecue stalls.

　　　　Barbecue is the staple food of summer. Eating delicious kebabs and drinking cool beer while feeling the cool wind by the river could be so refreshing.

　　　　After finding a place to park his car, Jacob Ye came to an open-air barbecue restaurant. The business of this barbecue restaurant was extremely good, dozens of tables were all full of guests.

　　　　Looking around, a table just freed up. The waiter quickly cleaned up the table.

　　　　Jacob Ye walked to the table and sat down.

　　　　As soon as he sat down, an old man came over. Seeing Jacob Ye sitting there alone, he smiled and said, "Kid, can I share the table with you?"

　　　　Jacob Ye smiled and said, "I'm alone. Please."

　　　　The old man nodded and sat opposite Jacob Ye. He smiled and said, "This young man very straightforward. Well, I'll treat you tonight."

　　　　Jacob Ye saw that although the old man was old, he was in good spirits. His words and actions were decisive. Obviously, he was not an ordinary person.

　　　　So he didn't try to reject out of politeness, and said with a smile, "Well, I'll take your offer."

　　　　The old man laughed and said, "Well, that’s good. Please eat whatever you like."

　　　　Jacob Ye said, "This is my first time here and I don't know much. You can order whatever you like."

　　　　The old man nodded and then casually ordered a dozen of lamb skewers and some vegetables. He passed the menu over and said, "What kind of wine do you drink?"

　　　　Jacob Ye thought for a moment and said, "You have an extraordinary prsence. You are probably a veteran. You seem straightforward and temperament. Of course we should drink liqour. ErGuoTou please!"

　　　　The old man was stunned, then laughed and said, "Good boy, good taste. This is exactly what I want. Two bottles of Erguotou."

　　　　In actual fact, it was summer at that time, most people would choose to drink cool beer to reduce the summer heat. Even if they drank liqour, they would not opt the strong ones like Erguotou. In this hot summer day, it might be too much for an old man.

　　　　The waiter reminded, "Sir, Erguotou is too strong. You may be better off drinking something lighter."

　　　　The old man waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay. I know my body well. It's not easy for me to come out and have fun, let me have a good time."

　　　　"Well alright then, please wait a moment." The waiter said and left.

　　　　The old man looked at the lively scene around him and sighed, "This is how we should live. I am bored all the time. Even if I were not ill, the boredom would have killed me."

　　　　Jacob Ye smiled and said, "You're right. You'd better come out and take a walk. It's good for your health."

　　　　The old man nodded and said, "Now, living conditions are good. It's different from the past when we couldn’t even secure 3 meals a day. Thinking about it, I really don't know how we got through it so that young people like you can enjoy happiness."

　　　　After sighing for a while, the old man asked, "You don't look like a native, do you?"

　　　　Jacob Ye nodded and said, "No, I'm not from here. I'm here to study medicine. You seem familiar with this place. I guess you've been here a long time."

　　　　The old man nodded and said, "I have left home for more than ten years. When I grew old, I came back. Who would have thought that some old friends have already gone."

　　　　There was a hint of loneliness in the old man's words.

　　　　As he spoke, dozens of kebabs were served. The waiter was holding a tray with two bottles of Erguotou on it.

　　　　When the old man saw the wine, he couldn’t help salivating. He toasted to Jacob Ye, then opened the bottle cap and poured it into his mouth rapidly.

　　　　As soon as he raised his neck, half a bottle of wine was gone. The old man put down the bottle and laughed, "It feels so good. I haven't drank so happily for a long time."

　　　　Before he could finish his sentence, his chest heaved, followed by a violent cough.

　　　　Jacob Ye frowned. From the old man's lungs, he obviously felt something was wrong. Looking at the old man's red face and thick neck, his expression changed and he immediately took away the old man's bottle.

　　　　Jacob Ye said, "You can't drink, with this disease, can you?"

　　　　The old man coughed for a while, then waved his hand and said, "I can't drink, but I'm old and I only liked to drink in my life. If you don't allow me to drink, I'd rather die."

　　　　Then he took the bottle and wanted to drink more.

　　　　Jacob Ye sighed and said, "You must have been sick for some years. I'm afraid that your lung disease has been here for decades. It seems that you suffered from a cold fever at a young age and it injured your lungs, which led to a lung problem. If it is serious, you will bleed."

　　　　The old man took a sip of wine and said, "Yes, it was once upon a time, it was snowing heavily..."

　　　　Before he finished speaking, he suddenly realised and asked, "How do you know I have lung problem? I remember looking for a national doctor. He said that too, but it can't be cured completely."

　　　　Jacob Ye smiled and said, "I know a little about traditional Chinese medicine. It's better if you don't drink wine. It was still alright when you were younger. But now you're old. If you go on like this, you'll be very sick."

　　　　The old man shook his head and said, "If I can't drink, it's better for me to die."

　　　　Jacob Ye smiled and said, "You have to think about your family. If I'm not mistaken, your family does not allow you to drink. So you sneaked out."

　　　　The old man laughed loudly and said, "That's right. Those little brats are so strict, I have to secretly drink. They had once found out and even confiscated all my wine. Isn't it equivalent of taking this old man's life?"

　　　　Jacob Ye smiled bitterly. It was said that the older a person gets, the more he behaved like a child. This old man was really funny. He thought for a moment and said, "Have you not tried Chinese medicine?"

　　　　The old man said, "Yes, I have been growing old these years. My body is getting worse and worse, and the cough is getting worse and worse. Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine, I have tried it all. Even national doctors who are rare and exclusive. In the end, no one can do anything about it."

　　　　Jacob Ye said, "Actually, it's not difficult for you to cure this completely."

　　　　"What, can you cure it?" The old man glared at Jacob Ye, thinking, "This guy is bragging. Even national experts can’t cure it. How can he find a way?"

　　　　Jacob Ye smiled and said, "I can really cure it, and you can drink as much as you like after that."

　　　　He instinctively did not believe Jacob Ye, but Jacob Ye's last sentence made him hesitate.

　　　　He said, "Really?"

　　　　Jacob Ye smiled and said, "Of course it is true, as long as you believe me."

　　　　The old man gritted his teeth, patted the table and said, "Okay, I’ll trust you once. I’m old already anyway."

　　　　A waiter came to Jacob Ye's table with a plate of roasted vegetables.

　　　　However, an arrogant voice came over. "Little girl, bring it here first."

　　　　The old man looked back and saw five or six gangsters coming over. They sat on an empty table and shouted at the waiter arrogantly.

　　　　The waiter hesitated for a moment and said, "Please wait a moment. This is for the guest on this table."

　　　　The gangster was furious. He slapped her and shouted, "Damn, I told you to put it here. Didn't you hear that? Didn't you see that Spectacle Brother is here?"

　　　　The waitress screamed and the plate in her hand fell to the ground. There were a red palm prints on her face.

　　　　"Spectacle Bro?" Jacob Ye was stunned and looked up. The little gangster who looked like the boss, looked very perverted and wore a pair of glasses. Wasn't he the one who had molested the young woman on the bus and was beaten by Jacob the other day? He had even sent him to the police station.

　　　　He didn't expect this guy to come out so soon.

　　　　Before Jacob Ye could speak, the old man was already furious. He slammed the table and shouted, "B*stards, how can you b*stards hit people like that?"

　　　　"Old thing, it's none of your business. I just slapped her. So what?" A gangster shouted.

　　　　"Is there no law in your eyes?"

　　　　"Law? Spectacle Bro is law. If you are not convinced, you can call the police!" The gangster shouted arrogantly.

　　　　At this time, the owner of the barbecue restaurant ran over and said with a smile, "Ah, its you, Spectacle Bro. Haha, I am going to prepare your dishes immediately. This little girl is new and offended you. Please don't take it to heart."

　　　　The owner turned around and shouted, "Apologize to Spectacle Bro!"

　　　　"Yes, I'm sorry." The little girl was so scared that her face turned pale. She trembled with fear and said softly.

　　　　"Louder! F*ck, have you not eaten?" Spectacle bro shouted.

　　　　The little girl was only 17 or 18 years old. Obviously, she had came here to help out during the summer vacation. She had never seen much of the world. She was so scared by Spectacle Bro and burst into tears.

　　　　However, her beautiful face lit up Spectacle Bro's eyes.

　　　　This guy was p*****t. He smiled lasciviously and said, "Little girl, don't be afraid. Come and drink with me."

　　　　As he spoke, his pair of hairy hands reached out towards the little girl.

　　　　The owner sensed trouble, he quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Spectacle Bro, this is my relative. She is still young. She is still studying. Please let her off the hook, okay? Today is on me."

　　　　As he spoke, the boss moved in front Spectacle Bro.

　　　　Spectacle Bro was furious and slapped him, shouting, "Get out of my way. Damn it, she is lucky that I take a liking for her..."

　　　　The restaurant owner’s mouth was bleeding, but he still had to smile apologetically and say, "Spectacle Bro, if you like it, please slap me a few more times. Please let her go. She's still young."

　　　　Spectacle Bro had a lot of influence in this area. The restaurant owner couldn't afford to offend him.

　　　　The little girl was so scared that her face turned paler.

　　　　Jacob Ye frowned and went forward to shout, "Spectacle Bro, right? Do you remember me?"

　　　　Spectacle bro was stunned and looked at Jacob Ye in confusion. After a while, he recognized Jacob Ye. He said angrily, "D*mn, it's you. Whack him!"

　　　　The last time, when he was beaten up by Jacob Ye, Spectacle bro had suffered a lot. Now that the enemy was here, he needed to seek revenge.

　　　　"So this is the guy who beat you up? D*mn it, you are dead!" A little gangster stepped forward and pointed at Jacob Ye.

　　　　Jacob Ye grabbed the gangster's finger. The gangster felt a piercing pain in his finger. He screamed in pain and shouted, "D*mn, you b*stard, how dare you hurt me!"
