Jacob from the Dark Realm Returns

Chapter 20: Dr. Swift

They didn't solve the problem of the company until that afternoon.

After that, Kaley rushed to the hospital with Jacob.

Hayley and Fiona were waiting.

They were extremely nervous.

"Kaley, you're finally here."

When Jacob and Kaley arrived at the hospital, Hayley immediately walked over.

Then, she realized that she seemed to have subconsciously ignored Jacob. Given the fact that she had

to rely on Jacob to save her father, Hayley greeted Jacob awkwardly.

Then Fiona greeted Jacob for the first time.

Hayley told her about the recent events.

Even if Fiona didn't want to believe Jacob, she had to believe the truth. Moreover, besides being

shocked, Fiona secretly felt joyful.

She detested Jacob, for he was too useless and incompetent, which embarrassed her in front of all her

relatives and friends.

Kaley was under so much pressure from the company. Jacob couldn't help her in the slightest, and he

had been hindering her. Thus, Fiona thought Jacob was unworthy of her daughter.

However, if Jacob became powerful, then Kaley wouldn't be so tired, and Fiona would be proud to be

Jacob's mother-in-law.

However, compared with Fiona's sudden enthusiasm, Jacob was as cold as ever.

He had no good impression of his mother-in-law.

Without saying much, Jacob directly took out the silver needle, intending to save the patient.

Now that Jacob had reached the middle stage of Gasification Phase, he was full of energy. He only

needed to channel the power of chaos into Brian's body through the silver needle so as to stimulate his

nerves and to make him regain consciousness.

However, just as Jacob was about to apply the needle, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed

open.

"Wait!"

An old voice sounded.

Hearing this, everyone turned around.

A white-haired old man with rosy cheeks walked in.

Behind him was Brian's attending doctor, Finn Lee.

"You are in the hospital. May I ask what right you have to give acupuncture to the patient?" Having

walked in, the old man glared at Jacob.

'Fortunately, I come in time. Otherwise, if no one stops the brat messing around and something is

wrong with the patient, who will be responsible?'

"Me? I'm his son-in-law." Reluctant to look at the old man, Jacob narrowed his eyes, and fixing his eyes

on Finn, who was behind the old man.

Finn was staring at Jacob, and a gloating expression flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, he is my son-in-law." Fiona stood up and openly acknowledged that Jacob was her son-in-law.

However, after hearing it, the old man became even angrier. He shifted gaze away from Jacob to Fiona

and said angrily, "He is your son-in-law, but is he a doctor? How dare you let him mess around? You

are an irresponsible wife."

Fiona was shocked. Jacob was indeed not a doctor.

Jacob stopped dealing with the business in hand, wanting to know what this old man prepared to do.

"Who are you?" Kaley stood out.

"He is Morris Swift, the former dean of Riverside Hospital and the president of Chinese Medicine

Association in Riverside City."

Finn immediately introduced Morris. Of course, apart from these two identities, Finn didn't tell them that

Morris was his uncle.

Otherwise, how could he become an attending physician in Riverside Hospital at such a young age?

However, few people knew about the relationship between Finn and Morris.

"Are you Dr. Swift, a highly skilled doctor?"

Hardly did Finn finish than Fiona and Kaley rounded their eyes in disbelief.

Morris was good at both traditional Chinese medicine and Western one.

He had practiced medicine for decades and had never failed an operation. In the medical field, it could

be said that he was a miracle.

What was more, his acupuncture technique was superb.

With his help, patients suffered from illnesses that could not be detected by advanced medical

equipment would be better or even be cured.

However, as he grew older, Morris almost retired. He paid more attention to health preservation and

seldom treated the patient personally.

Brian had become a vegetable for three years. During this period of time, Kaley and her family thought

about seeking help from Morris, but they failed. They even had no chance to see him.

"Yes, I'm. I feel flattered."

Morris was slightly satisfied when he saw the expressions on Kaley's and Fiona's faces.

Kaley and Fiona exchanged glances, their eyes being filled with joy.

Morris had never failed to cure the patient. If he was willing to help, then Brian would definitely wake

up.

"If it weren't for Finn's repeated pleas, I wouldn't come," Morris continued.

Hearing this, Finn couldn't help but straighten himself up, and privately spoke highly of Morris.

A trace of disdain appeared in Finn's eyes as he looked at Jacob. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Thank you, Dr. Lee." Kaley and Fiona immediately thanked Finn.

"You're welcome. I have been working on saving Brian. As long as there's any hope, I'll do my best.

However, I'm still young and my medical skills are not good enough. Therefore, I turn to someone else.

I believe that we can save Brian. I'm willing to do anything to help Brian recover," Finn said righteously.

Ever since he failed to keep his promise after losing the bet with Jacob, his reputation had been ruined

in the hospital. Although many people didn't say anything in his presence, Finn heard people secretly

speak ill of him behind his back several times.

This almost drove Finn crazy. Thus, he had to ask Morris for help. He planned to stop Jacob when

Jacob was about to save Brian so as to create a favorable image.

Sure enough, after Finn finished, the gazes of the doctors and nurses who followed him suddenly

became somewhat different.

After all, most of the people were superficial.

However, a discordant voice suddenly sounded, destroying the image Finn was setting up. "You know

that your medical skills are not good. As a professional doctor, you'd better not admit it openly. You

should keep it as a secret. Otherwise, no patient will dare to ask for your help."

"You...."

Finn's gritted his teeth with hatred.

Under normal circumstances, no doctor would take the initiative to push a patient he couldn't cure to

another doctor. If someone else succeeded, he would embarrass himself by proving that his medical

skills were poor.

However, Finn acted in contravention and turned to Morris.

Morris was known to every household. Finn was no match for Morris at medical skills, which was

normal. Finn was willing to sacrifice his reputation and invited Morris to treat his patients. Finn almost

succeeded in building a favorable image.

Jacob's words disgraced him, immediately ruining his image that he hadn't projected yet.

"Jacob, Dr. Swift is here. Hurry up and get out of the way," Finn said coldly.

...

Jacob coldly glanced at Finn, and Finn felt a cold shiver of fear run through him, as if he had been

targeted by a devil.

Soon, Finn felt he blushed. He trembled in fear after meeting Jacob's gaze, which was too

embarrassing.

Morris frowned slightly when Jacob disgraced his nephew. He could not remember how many years

had passed since one dared to embarrass him.

However, Morris said patiently, "Your name is Jacob, right? It's understandable that you want to save

your father-in-law because you are filial, but..."

"You are too noisy."

Much to Jacob's disgust, Morris was arrogant and liked to preach at others.

In this world, only his master was qualified to preach at him. However, his master had already died

hundreds of years ago.

No one else was qualified to do it.

Even the previous Emperor of the Dark Realm couldn't do it, let alone a mere mortal.

Hardly had Jacob finished when everyone present was shocked.

...

How dare Jacob talk to Morris in this way?

Jacob ridiculed Finn based on sound reason. But he did not respect Morris on no reason, which

instantly irritated everyone.

"Do you know who you're talking about?"

"Hurry up and apologize."

Especially those doctors and nurses who worshipped Morris, they wished they could kill Jacob, as if

their gods had been blasphemed.

Kaley and the other two ladies from her family were also shocked by Jacob's attitude.

"You're an idiot. Continue. The tougher you curse, the better. My uncle becomes more irritable with

age. If you dare to offend him, you won't be able to succeed in the medical circle in Riverside City."

Finn was secretly delighted.

Finn was reluctant to admit he was inferior to Jacob, who was able to save Brian last time. Based on

Jacob's good medical skill, Finn thought that Jacob definitely wanted to be a doctor. As long as Jacob

offended Morris, Jacob would be doomed. He would never be able to stand out in his life.

"Jacob...."

Kaley winked at Jacob as a sign for him to apologize to Morris.

Morris, a superb doctor who had never failed his attempt to save the patient, had a close relationship

with all the influential people in the Riverside City. Wealthy and powerful people were more likely to be

afraid of death and illness.

It could be said that in Riverside City, no one would offend Morris unless he had to. Instead, people had

to curry favor with Morris and maintain a good relationship with him.

Kaley wasn't worried that what trouble Jacob would cause to her family if he offended Morris.

On the contrary, she was worried that if Jacob did so, most dignitaries would be hostile to him. That

would not be worth it.

If Jacob was a mediocrity, it would not be a big deal. But Jacob had become more and more

outstanding. With Jacob's wise, he would definitely deal with these nobles in the future. If he offended

these people now, it would hinder his development.

However, Jacob seemed not to understand Kaley’s gaze.

"Good. Very good."

Morris was shocked for a second after hearing Jacob's complaint, and then his face darkened.

"It looks like I shouldn't have interfered. If so, do as you wish."

After saying that, Morris immediately turned around and left.

"Dr. Swift, please wait a moment!"

Fiona immediately stopped Morris.

After knowing that the old man was Morris, Fiona placed all her hopes on him.

Morris had been praised as a high skilled doctor for decades, and he succeeded in curing all patients

who sought help from him.

Although Hayley kept telling her how awesome Jacob was in the past few days, Fiona preferred to

believe in Morris rather than Jacob.
