Miraculous Doctor from the Mountain

Chapter 18: Prescription Unveiled

Both career and love had been successful for Lorraine, but the one regret she carried was her marriage of over a decade without any children.

She had undergone numerous hospital examinations, tried countless traditional medicines, but nothing seemed to work. Looking at Oliver, Lorraine asked with surprise, "How do you know I don't have children?"

Oliver smiled calmly and explained, "In traditional Chinese medicine, we observe, smell, ask, and touch. From the moment I laid eyes on Ms. Howard, I could tell she doesn't have children. Chinese medicine also emphasizes that when the channels are blocked, pain arises. It's because of the blockage in Ms. Howard's body that you have trouble conceiving, leading to weight gain. I guess Ms. Howard used to be a slender beauty."

Lorraine was even more astonished. Indeed, a few years ago, she was a tall and shapely beauty. However, her body had started gaining weight, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't lose it.

Despite being a powerful businesswoman, Oliver's words touched a sensitive spot for Lorraine. The lack of children was her deepest pain, especially when her husband dearly wished for them. She had even considered divorce to let her husband fulfill his desire.

Looking at Oliver, Lorraine urgently asked, "Mr. Lowell, can you really help me solve this problem?"

As she spoke, Lorraine's lips trembled. Oliver calmly smiled and assured, "Don't worry; these are minor issues."

With that, Oliver picked up a pen and paper from the meeting table. He effortlessly wrote a prescription and handed it to Lorraine, saying, "Get these herbs according to the prescription, brew and take them for a week. During this week, you might experience abdominal pain and diarrhea. Don't worry; these are normal reactions. Stop the medication after a week, and you'll be ready to have children."

Lorraine cherished the prescription as if it were a treasure. After carefully securing it, she said to Oliver, "Regardless of how our business turns out, if you don't mind, I'd like to be friends with you! In your words, the kind of friends who share everything! If you need anything in the future, feel free to reach out to me!"

Even in Blokoord, where people sought to be friends with Lorraine, it was unexpected that she would actively want to be friends with Oliver. Naturally, Oliver agreed.

After discussing further about their collaboration, Oliver and Flora bid farewell and left. Just as they stepped out, they noticed a black SUV not far away. Godfery, looking at Oliver, said to a bald man wearing sunglasses beside him, "Master John, look, it's that guy dressed like a beggar. His name is Oliver. Help me break his legs, and I'll pay you a hundred thousand!"

Master John had a certain reputation in Blokoord's social circles. His henchmen were numerous, and he was known for his fierceness. Most people feared him.

Watching Oliver's demeanor, Master John took off his sunglasses and snorted, "Mr. Stephen, this guy looks like a junk collector. How did you let yourself get played by someone like him? I really admire you. Don't worry; I'll take care of him in the next few days!"

In the Passat,

Flora was driving. Oliver, as carefree as before, shook his head and hummed a tune, seemingly unaffected by the significant events at Yadé.

Curious about what Oliver had written on the paper for Lorraine, Flora asked, "What did you write on that paper for Ms. Howard?"

Oliver turned to Flora with a mischievous smile and said two words, "Love letter!"

Seeing him casually joking, Flora rolled her eyes at him but still asked, "How did you know Ms. Howard doesn't have children? Did you really just figure it out at a glance?"

Flora acknowledged Oliver's exceptional medical skills but was still somewhat skeptical that he could determine someone's childbearing status with just one meeting.

Oliver, noticing Flora's doubt, turned to her. Pretending to be indignant, he exclaimed, "I say, Miss Carmen, don't forget I'm a doctor—or no, a divine doctor! How could I not know?"

With a mischievous grin, Oliver continued, "Miss Carmen, do you want children? Maybe I can help you with that?"

"Get lost!" Flora shot another eye roll at Oliver. Even though he took advantage of her again, there was no resentment in Flora's heart.

After a moment of silence, Flora suddenly spoke, "Oliver, I really appreciate what you've done. Without you, Corewood might have really disappeared..."

Oliver was about to make another jest, but seeing Flora's solemn expression, he remained silent. Flora continued, "You may not understand why Corewood has been in perpetual loss, and yet I still hold on to it. When the Carmen family was just starting out, Corewood Company already existed. Back then, business was exceptionally good. Many of the Carmen family's subsequent ventures relied on the development of Corewood. At that time, my father was the general manager of Corewood. However, due to market changes, Corewood's situation worsened. Our family blamed my father for it, forcing him to sell the company. My father naturally refused, but the prolonged pressure led to his depression, and he left this world. Before he passed away, he hoped that I could revive Corewood..."

At this point, Flora's face showed a trace of sadness.

"So, since graduating, I joined Corewood. I not only want to revitalize Corewood, but I also want to make it bigger. I want to fulfill my father's last wish..."

Flora's words brought a rare serious expression to Oliver's face. Looking at Flora, he firmly said, "Flora, you can count on me."

Flora turned to glance at Oliver, smiling with relief.

In Blokoord, there was a tradition called "Celebrating Surprises," where a feast was prepared for those who recovered from a serious illness or narrowly avoided a disaster. To make Old Carmen happy, Brook arranged a banquet and invited many relatives and friends.

Early the next morning, after Flora handled the company's affairs, she went to buy gifts. She intentionally brought Oliver along, considering that it was Oliver who cured Old Carmen's illness.

The venue chosen by Brook for the feast was the Palmer Club, Blokoord's most high-end club. Luxuriously decorated, it featured elegant surroundings. In addition to the restaurant and bar, there were also cigar rooms, wine cellars, and a range of entertainment areas.

Unlike regular restaurants, this place operated on a membership system. The threshold for joining was high, requiring a net worth exceeding fifty million and an annual consumption of over five million to qualify as a member.

The people who came here were either wealthy or influential. However, many joined solely to expand their social connections, such as the Carmen family.
