Chapter 364: I Can Wait
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This caretaker was famous for being a good caretaker. She had taken care of several paralyzed old people in families. Even though the elder pa.s.sed away in the end, the elder’s family even gave her a silk banner and praised her endlessly.
Amelia was calm. She grabbed Alex’s hand and said, “Dad, none of them believe me.’
Alex’s eyes were filled with hostility, but when he faced Amelia, he was very gentle. “It’s okay. Daddy will make them believe you.” He took out his phone and called Ryan. “Come over and help me check the surveillance cameras.”
Ryan, who was on the other end of the line: No, Master, isn’t it a matter of minutes for you to check the surveillance cameras? Why do you need him… But very quickly, Ryan reacted. The surveillance cameras you want to check aren’t simple. For example, you need to cut out some images or something…
“Yes, Master. I’ll be right there,” Ryan said.
Alex hung up and said with a fake smile, “l can’t bear to see my daughter suffer, so everyone, sit down and wait.”
Mayor Haslet: “…” Who could sit here? Who could sit in front of a Burton? Wasn’t that be like sitting on needles? He looked at the director angrily!
The director: He was also very confused and angry. He glanced at Amelia obscurely. It was all this child’s fault! She was so troublesome! What did the caregiver’s well-being have to do with her?! Anyway, Mayor Haslet’s father was going to be transferred to his sanatorium! Now, after this incident, Mayor Haslet did not have a good impression of him. He might not even go to his sanatorium!
Amelia said, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. We can let the old man say it himself!”
Mayor Haslet was stunned, and so was the old man.
A nurse reminded her awkwardly, “Um… Little kid, you might not know, but the old man’s health is not good. He can’t speak now…”
Amelia said, “l know, but I can cure the old man. I just need… um… one, two,
three, four… a hundred minutes?”
The director suddenly smiled. What was this called? This was a situation where there was no way out. There was a silver lining! Just as he was thinking about how to explain the Old Master’s illness and remind him to go to the sanatorium to recover, this child delivered an opportunity to him! This time, he had to seize the opportunity. He was absolute authority in the field of rehabilitation!
The director put his hands behind his back and shook his head. “A child is still a child. Not to mention a hundred minutes, even if you were given two days or even two years, you wouldn’t be able to do it. Old Master’s hemiplegia was caused by cerebral hemorrhage. We also know that hemiplegia is very difficult to treat. It’s almost a lifetime regret. However, our sanatorium is very knowledgeable about hemiplegia and has a lot of experience, Old Master has just been discharged from the hospital. If we strike while the iron is hot and use professional and useful rehabilitation training methods before he completely loses his muscle memory, I dare to guarantee with my position that in less than two years, Old Master will be able to speak again. At least… he won’t drool anymore! ”
The director spoke with a.s.surance and confidence. He spoke eloquently, confident that he could make Mayor Haslet reconsider. But he saw Mayor Haslet glance at his watch. “A hundred minutes. It’s just over an hour. I can wait.”
The director was speechless. So he had wasted his breath? His excuse was very professional. Basically, after he finished speaking, there was no patient’s family that he could not handle!
However, Mayor Haslet didn’t even look at the director. Instead, he looked at Amelia and asked, “But what are you going to do? Will it be dangerous?” He was giving Amelia a chance for Alex’s sake and asking her to give it a try. He had already thought it through. If Amelia was just ma.s.saging his back and legs, then so be it. But if she used a knife or took medicine or something… Although he had scruples about Alex’s ident.i.ty, he couldn’t exchange his biological father’s health for wealth.
Mayor Haslet thought as Amelia took out a soft cloth bag from her bag. When she opened it, there was a set of silver needles.
“l need to give Grandpa acupuncture.” Amelia picked up a silver needle. Mayor Haslet seemed to see the cold light from the silver needle.
“This… this won’t do…” Mayor Haslet quickly said.
The director immediately wanted to laugh again.. He thought that he had no hope again and again, but Amelia had given him hope again! He lectured with a straight face, “What does a child know about acupuncture? It’s simply nonsense! Aren’t you making the Old Master suffer?”
