Chapter 054 A curse of a lifetime 3
…
"What are you doing? Get away from my husband!" a middle-aged-looking woman enters the room followed by a middle-aged doctor.
The woman is Geana Ao, the grandmother of Arthur. The one following behind her is her son, Arthur's uncle, Jun Tang. Jun Tang is a doctor which specialized in internal medicine and general surgery. He is a genius doctor that could only be seen once in a hundred years.
As the two entered, Doctor Fu stood on the side along with his team of doctors. Since this is an internal issue with the Tang family, he dares not intrude as he is only here for the well-being of old man Tang.
But when he saw Jun Tang, his brows crease a bit. He is well aware of who Jun Tang is. His accomplishment in the medical society is something that he has knowledge of.
However, no matter how much of a genius this guy is, he still looks down on him because of his haughty attitude and his prideful demeanor.
As the two people enter, behind them follow three more people that look like professionals.
"Arthur! Why are you letting just anyone touches your grandfather?! She…" Geana Ao or Mrs. Tang reprimanded her grandson but stopped when Sung Jisoo turns around to look at the people behind her.
The group was stunned to see a beautiful young woman and the fact that she is being led by Arthur meant something.
"Who is she, Arthur?" Geana asked with a frown when she recovered from her stupor.
The beauty of the young woman is tantalizing but she did not like it. She did not like someone being close to Arthur as she is already working with a family's young daughter to be her granddaughter-in-law.
"You should not let just anyone touch your grandfather…" she repeated this time her words are a bit amiable towards Arthur.
But she shot a cold glance at Sung Jisoo.
Jisoo showed a hint of awkwardness on her beautiful face. She wanted to help but if these people would not let her, she would not mind turning away and leaving. Though she is attracted to the guy, it is not enough for her to be concerned about his family matters.
Jisoo showed a faint smile on her face and then nodded at Arthur.
"I will be waiting outside…" she said then nodded at the people inside the room.
But before she could walk away, Arthur stopped her.
"Doctor Sung… I invited you here to check on my grandpa. Please…" he suddenly caught up and held her soft hand.
Jisoo felt like electricity running down her spine when Arthur touches her hand. Redness could be seen forming on her ears.
Arthur also noticed that his action was a bit inappropriate but he seem to not want to let go of the sensation he is feeling for the first time in his life.
Though he has held women before, he has not experienced such a sensation just from anyone.
The slight flirting between the two made Geana's face turn ugly. The others also showed annoyance towards Arthur as they did not want such a beauty to be with any other guy. This feeling is true towards those young doctors in the room.
"No… Let go of her hand! " Geana shouted as she walked beside her grandson.
"Who is she? Is she a doctor? But even if she is, this is not the right thing to do… Do you think just any doctor can cure your grandfather, you know his situation… right?" Geana said trying to show concern towards her grandson's feelings.
"Grandmother… I know what I'm doing… You may not have heard of Doctor Sung, but soon your will." Arthur said with confidence.
"Hehe… Dear nephew… You don't have to worry about your father anymore. Since I have returned from abroad, I will be able to help Father with his sickness… Me, and my team, will take care of father from now on." Jun Tang said with confidence brimming in his smile.
When Geana heard this from his son, her face showed delight in them. Jun being a renowned doctor became her pride as his mother.
Arthur showed a complicated expression as he looks at Doctor Fu. But Doctor Fu just nodded his head as if it was nothing.
"You should not trust any vixen that is trying to seduce you and let your grandfather be in danger." One of the female doctors behind Jun Tang said in annoyance.
She liked Jun Tang for a while now, and the relationship between the two is getting better. But when she saw him ogling the woman, she immediately felt hatred and jealousy at the vixen.
"Haha… Let her be. She is trying to impress young master Tang here. It's not that bad to use your beauty to your advantage… However, you should know your place young lady." A middle-aged doctor standing beside the young woman commented with a smirk.
Then the others began to whisper among themselves mocking Sung Jisoo for being too shameless.
Sung Jisoo might have long patience with people, but when she is being insulted because of her ability and integrity is something that would always tick her. If it is in passing, she would not mind. But those blatant words they are whispering and those looks of condescension towards her made her suddenly lose her temper.
"You say that I'm an opportunistic… bitch, right? Then let's do it like this… I'm confident that I can cure, Mr. Tang… How about you guys?" she said with a smirk.
When the people in the room heard her words, they were all stunned.
Then not long later, the room was enveloped in laughter.
"Hahaha… Young lady, you should not joke around in something like this. We are talking about a life here. This is not a mere game that you can play…" Jun Tang scolded with a chuckle.
"Well, as I said… I can cure him. Let's make a bet… 1 million credits. If you can find his actual disease in 1 week… then I will pay you a million, I can even resign as a doctor in the hospital…" Jisoo said with confidence on her face.
Upon hearing these challenges the expression of the doctors turned gloomy. One week to find the symptoms and the actual disease is a bit short. They needed to observe the situation for at least 2 weeks to a month.
"This is not possible, right?" Jun Tang frowned.
"I set to one week because… the old man only has ten days to live… If you cannot find the true disease in one week, then it would be hopeless…" Jisoo blurted the bad news.
"No, you lying bitch! How dare you curse my husband?!" shouted Giana as she charges at Jisoo.
But before she could reach Jisoo, Arthur has already grabbed his grandmother.
"Calm down grandma…" he said with a frown.
"Doctor Sung… is what you're telling us the truth?" he said with a frown.
"Ahem…" this time Doctor Fu cleared his throat and step forward.
"I… I think what this young lady is saying is the truth… According to our estimation, Old man Tang's internal organs will be failing him soon. In 2 weeks, we will have to prepare for the worst." He said the bad news.
"No! No! You're lying… My husband is not going to die… He is still as healthy as a cow. Huhuhu…" Geana started to cry.
Jun Tang frowned and has a hint of disbelief on his face.
He wanted to refute, but he also knew of Doctor Fu's reputation. He might be a genius doctor abroad but even in that place, he has heard of Doctor Fu's name. Felipe Fu, a renowned doctor, developed many treatment processes for curing heart disease and other diseases, with his team.
So how could he refute the words of such a doctor?
"Mom, it's alright… If what Doctor Fu is saying is the truth, then I would only need 3 days to diagnose dad… If I can't do anything in these 3 days, then even if the woman will try it she would not be able to do anything…" he said with a stern voice.
"But I want you to do as you have promised. If you are unable to cure my father, then you will pay us 1 million credits and stop being a doctor… That is the true essence of this bet, right?" Jun said with a serious face.
Arthur could not help but squint upon hearing the words of his uncle. He knows that his uncle is a calculative man and is very intelligent. He just did not expect him to be so shameless.
Jisoo also knew of the stake at hand. She could not help but have her eyes glow when imagining that 1 million credits and the number of jades she could buy and turn into Reiki Absorbing Talismans.
If she could have such a fund, she can also help Anne and Aunt Sonya live a slightly better life.
With that in mind, she did not hesitate to nod her head.
However, Geana still showed animosity toward the young woman as she glares at Jisoo.
"I would need to check his condition first so that I too can prepare what I need to prepare… I was interrupted by you guys a while ago… would that be possible?" Jisoo requested with a smile.
When they heard her words, no one protested. Geana wanted to but was held by her son, so she kept her silence.
Jisoo walks to the side of the bed and looks at the old man's thin body. She would touch here and there and would sometimes nod her head then sometimes would shake them as if she is contemplating something.
Afterward, she took out a small notebook from her pocket and then writes something in it.
She then looks at the people before her and smiles.
"I'm done… I will be going now… See you in 3 days then…" she said as she turns around to leave.
"Wait! What do you mean 3 days?" Jun Tang asked with a frown.
"You said you just need 3 days…" she asked in confusion.
"You said I have 1 week…" Jun sneered.
"Are you really his son? You would rather delay the treatment of your father for your own pride and prejudice? Hah… What an unfilial brat…" Jisoo snorted then turns to leave.
