In a previous encounter, he witnessed Baron's henchmen coming to find Kingsley.
Now, hearing the conversation between Kingsley and Cassius, he was completely convinced that Kingsley was a "ruthless" figure in the underworld.
Amid Jude's trembling and torment, Alice walked in.
Upon seeing Alice, Jude rushed forward as if seeing a savior. "Dr. Kramer, you finally came! This patient will be under your care!"
With that, he turned to Kingsley. "Mr. Nicholson, I have other patients to treat, so… I won't stay here with you…"
Kingsley nodded in response. "Go ahead, attend to your duties."
With his permission, Jude felt like he had been granted amnesty and left in a hurry.
He was afraid that these two underworld figures might silence him forever for hearing too much.
"What brings you here, Kingsley?" Alice walked up and asked, "Is this patient… your friend?"
Kingsley stood up and smiled "Yes, she's the wife of my friend. She has a hereditary heart condition, so I brought her here specifically for you, our esteemed healer, to diagnose."
"Pfft! Me? An esteemed healer?" Alice's gloom disappeared instantly after hearing her brother's familiar self-deprecating humor.
She chuckled and said, "You're the renowned Dr. Nicholson! Is there any illness you can't treat?"
"Mainly… I'm concerned about potential cardiac abnormalities that might require surgery," Kingsley explained. "After all, ancient healing methods aren't omnipotent. Many cases still require surgical intervention."
Alice nodded in agreement. "For conditions like valve replacement or atrial septal defect, surgery is indeed necessary."
