"He's already over eighty years old, so there will come a day when… You shouldn't be too sad," someone tried to comfort him.
"Yes, and I heard that the young master found some kind of God of Medicine. Maybe there's still hope for Grandpa's condition!" another chimed in.
"Right, and didn't you also find an acupuncture master? Modern medicine couldn't diagnose the cause, but maybe our ancient medical practices in the Empire of Qustia could be of use!" a third person added.
Listening to the various consolations of the crowd, Stanley let out a sigh. "We can only hope for that God of Medicine and acupuncture master..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Andrew came in with Kingsley. "Dad, the... the God of Medicine is here," he said, lacking confidence in his own words.
Andrew himself felt that this "God of Medicine" was a little underwhelming.
When Stanley heard that, his eyes lit up!
"The God of Medicine has arrived? Please..." he eagerly asked, turning around.
But midway through his sentence, he suddenly stopped, leaving his hands hanging in the air.
"Which one is the God of Medicine?" he asked, looking at Kingsley and then at Xaria.
His face grew dimmer with each passing moment.
The other Kean family members also turned their gaze toward Kingsley. "Who is this guy? Is he the so-called God of Medicine?"
"Tsk tsk tsk! Ancient medical practices have always been based on experience. This guy who hasn't even grown a beard probably doesn't even know what ancient medical practices are."
Unhappy looks were exchanged before some of them bluntly remarked, "I heard that Andrew's teacher from the Sweoya disappeared, and his academic forum has also been abandoned! Could that have left an impact on Andrew's mental state and judgments? How else could he trust this youngster as the God of Medicine?"
"Right! Even if you're desperate for a cure, you can't possibly trust an inexperienced kid. I really don't know what Andrew is thinking."
Andrew listened to the family's conversations with a depressing look on his face.
He had made a big deal about his return from the Sweoya, intending to hold an academic forum and make a name for himself.
