58 -58: Vest Number One, Dropped
Carlos was just about to speak.
A security guard from Cloud Lake Villa walked in with an anxious expression and said,
“Master, Young Master, a police car has arrived outside, along with a few officers.
They said they just received a report claiming someone here is practicing medicine without a license, engaging in illegal medical practice.”
“Did you call the police?”
Carlos’s gaze turned sharp, and his tone was highly dissatisfied.
This woman really knows how to take matters into her own hands.
This is Cloud Lake Villa; since when is it her place to call the police?
“It was I who asked Doctor Bennet to call the police,”
Evan Palmer looked somewhat smugly at Emily Parker; he had long known that Carlos was not good at business, and even worse at judging people, having chosen a doctor who is nothing but a fraud.
Evan let the officers in.
He pointed at Emily Parker, who was dressed in black,
“Officers, it’s him.
This man is a swindler; he took twenty million from my son, claiming he could treat my wife.
But to our surprise, he doesn’t even have a medical license.
Such a fraudster should not be allowed to roam free, continuing to harm us upstanding citizens.”
Doctor Bennet also took the opportunity to fan the flames,
“Officers, practicing medicine without a license is illegal.
According to our laws, this is punishable by detention for up to three years.”
Doctor Bennet thought to herself that as long as the Ghost Doctor is caught, her mentor might let her take over Mrs.
Carter’s case.
The officers approached Emily Parker and showed their credentials,
“Comrade, if you cannot produce a valid medical license, we will have to arrest you according to the law.”
Emily Parker thought for a moment, then opened her backpack.
“Sorry, I was in a hurry when I left, and didn’t bring my domestic medical license.
However, I do have an international medical license.”
Upon saying this, Emily Parker pulled out a certificate filled with foreign text.
Carlos, standing nearby, took a glance and saw Latin on the license; even the name was in Latin, obscuring the Chinese name.
“Ha, who are you trying to fool with an international medical license?”
Doctor Bennet heard this and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
She purposely spoke loudly,
“Officers, please don’t be fooled.
I’ve been a doctor for so long, and I’ve never heard of anyone using an international medical license.
This person is a fraudster, and in an attempt to cover up his criminal acts, he even dares to forge a qualification certificate.
This will only add to his crimes.”
The officers also looked troubled; they had never heard of an international medical license.
Emily Parker spread his hands, “If you don’t believe me, you can call the relevant department to verify.”
One of the officers immediately went out to make the call.
The roomful of people all fixed their gazes on Emily Parker.
Yet Emily Parker was the picture of calm, sipping his tea.
After a short wait, the officer returned.
Upon his return, the officer looked at Emily Parker with immense respect, handed the certificate back to him with both hands, and repeatedly apologized.
“Comrade, sorry for the misunderstanding.
It was all a mistake.
We have called to confirm, and your certificate is valid; you are authorized to practice medicine in this country.”
The officer who made the phone call was also surprised; the higher-ups said that this medical license was issued by the State Council in conjunction with international government organizations, exclusively for special talents, and only five such licenses have been awarded in fifty years.
Even the Ministry of Health was unaware of the existence of this type of medical license.
The higher-ups also stressed that they must be polite to him, and within reasonable limits, they should accommodate any requests he might have.
“It’s okay, you are just enforcing the law within your duties,” Emily Parker smiled, and put the certificate away.
Evan Palmer’s face was ashen.
He had not expected Emily Parker to really possess some sort of international medical license.
Dr.
Bennet’s complexion also turned unsightly.
As the details at the scene were clarified, several officers were about to leave when Emily suddenly spoke up, stopping them,
“Comrades of the police, what are the consequences for making a false alarm?”
Emily said this while pointing at Dr.
Bennet nearby.
“She made a false alarm and wasted police resources, shouldn’t you handle this matter?”
Dr.
Bennet was taken aback; she never expected the Ghost Doctor to turn the tables on her.
She quickly looked at Evan for help with a pleading gaze, but before he could speak, the officers exchanged looks, recalling what their superiors had told them.
They approached Dr.
Bennet,
“Miss, you are suspected of making a false alarm and obstructing official duties.
According to the law, we will detain you for disturbing the peace for a period of seven days.”
“What?
I’m a doctor from People’s Hospital, my mentor is Dr.
Reed.
You can’t just arrest me.
I’m going to report you!”
Dr.
Bennet kept shouting, but the two police officers paid her no heed and forcefully took her away.
With Dr.
Bennet gone, Emily felt a sense of relief in her ears.
“Gentlemen, may I now treat Mrs.
Carter?”
Emily asked, bringing everyone back to reality.
Carlos led the way forward, Evan’s expression was grim; he glared at Emily’s back, begrudgingly following.
In the bedroom, Mrs.
Carter was lying in the bed, her complexion very pale.
Emily learned that due to her poor health, Mrs.
Carter had been sleeping separately from Evan for years, inhabiting her own room.
“Mother, this is the Ghost Doctor, she’s here to treat you.”
Carlos introduced Emily to Mrs.
Carter.
Mrs.
Carter looked at Emily, who wore a mask, and nodded.
“I prefer to be alone when I’m being treated.
Everyone, please leave.”
“Both of you go out.”
Mrs.
Carter also spoke up.
It was then that Carlos and Evan withdrew from the room.
Emily casually scanned the surroundings; the bedroom was normal, and she noticed nothing out of the ordinary.
She then approached Mrs.
Carter and took her pulse.
“Madam,
I have a rough understanding of your condition.
Today is our first treatment session; the poison has already reached your internal organs, and one treatment will not be sufficient.
I need to treat you a total of ten times.
During the process, you might feel some discomfort, but it will soon improve.
Please bear with it for now.”
As Emily spoke, she took out a needle pack from her backpack.
Emily studied nursing in college and had been working in the pharmacy at People’s Hospital ever since, which is why few people knew that she was not only proficient in Western medicine but also understood Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Mrs.
Carter hesitated for a moment and saw a flicker of disturbance in her calm eyes when she saw Emily take out the needle pack.
She opened her mouth, thinking of asking something.
But at that moment, Emily had already begun administering acupuncture.
Mrs.
Carter had to close her mouth for the time being.
An hour passed by the time Emily finished administering the needles.
Emily was about to speak and call Carlos and Evan, who had been waiting outside the door, to come in.
But just as she was about to stand up, Mrs.
Carter suddenly caught her hand,
“Emily?”
