Thea knew what the Hills were like.
Back then, when she was belittled and looked down upon, she could not say anything.
Now, she was disgusted by how they disparaged her husband.
Facing the Hills, she exclaimed, “My husband’s not useless. He’s Asclepius. He treated my injuries. He can be the number one doctor in all of Cansington if he wishes to be.”
Gladys, who was hanging her head in shame, chimed in upon hearing Thea’s words, “Yes, he’s not entirely useless. You should know how grave Thea’s injuries were. Her body was badly burnt, and there were scars all over her. However, James treated all of her injuries in just ten short days. If he isn’t Asclepius, who is?”
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
They could not refute her words.
Meanwhile, Jedidiah fixed his gaze on James.
He was a veteran and had suffered long-term sequelae after sustaining injuries.
Now that he was aging by the day, his body condition was deteriorating.
He had gone to Cansington to look for Dr. Fallon.
However, he would have to wait for years for his turn.
Thus, he could only consult a mediocre doctor in Cansington to regulate his bodily functions.
Before he could speak, a young member of the Hills said, “Grandpa has problems with his body. Since he’s Asclepius, why don’t we ask him to diagnose grandpa? Then, we’ll get to see whether his claims hold true or not.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Thea looked at James pleadingly. “Honey, please take a look at grandpa.”
One’s reputation was worth a lot these days.
Thea did not want to be looked down upon, nor did she wish for James to be belittled.
James was reluctant.
Under normal circumstances, he would not provide medical treatment just like that.
However, since it was Thea’s request, he nodded and stood up. Then, he made his way toward Jedidiah.
