“It’s all your fault!” Dashiell said fiercely, “If it weren’t for you, the child wouldn’t suffer so much, and her life wouldn’t be in danger! How dare you mess around again!”
“I’m not messing around and have to take her wrist pulse. Step aside!” Lily said coldly.
“Please! Take her pulse? What the hell for? Do you think your fingers can detect more than our professional equipment? It’s nothing more than a party trick since herbal medicine is unreliable! Now that things have come to this, what else must you say?” He scolded angrily.
Some of the other herbal medicine practitioners got upset. “Hey, how could you say we’re performing party tricks? How is herbal medicine not reliable?”
“It’s just not!”
“Without the equipment, mainstream medicine can do nothing. All you know is to perform surgeries or ask the patients to wait for their deaths.”
“It’s the herbal medicine that’s…”
The two parties suddenly ended up in a fierce quarrel. Although some herbal medicine practitioners also thought Lily was too young to be counted on, they united to defend their practice. They argued with their counterparts, suddenly kicking up a ruckus.
Lily did not bother to argue with anyone, as time was equal to life. She eagerly wanted to take the child’s pulse to see how she was doing.
However, Dashiell quickly blocked it when he saw her outstretched hand. “Cut it out! We’re still trying to save her life, so stop getting in our way! Dr. Blanc said we could hold her responsible if anything happened to the child. We all remember it well, so you can’t let her do as she pleases!”
