Lorenz did not know what to do or say as he was severely chided in front of everyone.

What Clarence had said had indeed come true!

Roger could stand now.

Not only could he stand, but he could jump and run too.

Lorenz ran out of the villa and saw Roger, who was running down the road. He rubbed his eyes fiercely to make sure he was not seeing things.

“What’s going on? What the hell is going on?” Lorenz had a look of disbelief on his face as he stared straight at Clarence. “T-the nerves of his vertebrae have undergone necrosis, so he shouldn’t be able to stand! This is a medical miracle, it should’ve never happened! How did you do that? Tell me, and I will become your disciple!”

Clarence looked at him calmly. “I’ll tell you when you decide to really become my disciple.”

“Okay.”

Lorenz took a deep breath and looked straight at Clarence. “I still need to look at a very important patient. After I’m done, I’ll go to Thirteen Hall to formally take you as my master.”

After he said that, Lorenz and his team turned around to leave.

About five minutes later, Roger walked back into the villa. His aged face was red. “Master, you’re a true master. I can walk now! I can even run! I thought my legs were done for, and I worried that I’d have to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair.”

Roger was extremely excited.

“Master Howard, thank you. I shouldn’t have treated you like that in the morning!”

Kate quickly apologized, admitting to her mistakes.

Bill patted his chest and promised, “Master Howard, from now on, your troubles are my troubles too. I’d like to see who would want to bring trouble to Thirteen Hall. The Reeds will be the first ones to fight them.”

Clarence smiled at Roger. “Mr. Reed, even though you can run now, I’ll still have to prescribe you some medicine. You still need to spend about half a month in the wheelchair, but you’ll be back to normal and able to move freely after that half month is over.

“I’ve just opened your meridians. With the opening just now, you still need to recuperate, so you can’t exert too much force.”

When Roger heard that he still needed to spend half a month in the wheelchair, he was very impatient. However, he forcefully suppressed the feeling, nodding instead. “Understood. I understand. My legs are in a hurry, but I’ll listen to you and spend the next half a month in the wheelchair.”

After Clarence prescribed Roger some medicine, he left the Reeds’ villa in Cloud Hill.

“Mr. Howard, please stay for lunch. I’ll repay you properly.”

Bill wanted to keep Clarence around for lunch. Bill was about to thank him properly, but Clarence rejected him.

“It’s fine. I still have to go back to the clinic in the afternoon.”

“Okay, you guys, send the master back. Issue a check of a hundred million to Master Howard and hand it to him personally.” When Roger heard Clarence’s rejection, he did not forcefully keep Clarence in the villa. He just asked Bill and Kate to send Clarence back to Thirteen Hall.

When he got back to Thirteen Hall, Clarence continued treating his patients like nothing had happened.

When VIPs or billionaires worth billions or even tens of billions became his patients, their consultation fees could cost over a hundred million for a single round.

However, normal people, like his neighbors, migrant workers who could not afford to go to the hospital and could only visit a small clinic, and people who only made a measly amount every month, were also among Clarence’s patients.

Clarence treated them all equally.

He would accept 100 million bucks, and he would also accept 30 bucks.

Clarence had the heart of a true doctor.

Clarence looked at more than ten people over the entire afternoon. He gained more green light in his necklace with a cross.

In the evening, Cecilia came back from work, and she went to Thirteen Hall again to bring Clarence some fruits.

Cecilia ate dinner with Clarence and went on a walk with him in the park nearby. There were some old people doing exercise nearby.

While they walked, Cecilia held Clarence’s arm and refused to let go.

Clarence felt helpless.

Cecilia was quite the clingy little woman. She glanced at the old couple in front of them. “Do you think we’ll be like them when we grow old?”

“Pfft!”

Clarence almost vomited blood. He started sweating in awkwardness. “Cecilia, we haven’t started anything yet. It’s too early to be thinking about such a thing.”

“Hmph!”

Cecilia huffed and held onto Clarence’s arm even tighter. “You’re going to be mine sooner or later. Why don’t you just submit yourself to me now? Those old people earlier said that we looked good together, so what’s so bad about us being together?

“Are you still thinking about your ex-wife?

“What’s so good about her? That woman is too domineering and she’s not a good match for you anyway. It’s only been a few days since you two have gotten a divorce, yet her mother’s already in a hurry to look for another son-in-law. Your ex-wife didn’t look like she opposed her mother’s idea at all, too.”

Cecilia pulled Clarence over to a bench nearby and asked seriously, “Clarence, do you think she really likes you? I’ve known you for a month and throughout that month, she has had a lot of interaction with her first boyfriend.

“Also, she has that ambiguous relationship with William. She maintained so many ambiguous relationships with multiple men while you two were still married, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there have only been more men after the divorce.”

Cecilia leaned against Clarence’s shoulder. “Do you look down on me? Do you think I’m not worthy of you because I’ve been married before?”

Clarence chuckled bitterly. “Cecilia, I don’t think that. Right now, I just want to manage Thirteen Hall well. After that, I’ll think about the future. As for marriage, I still haven’t figured it out yet.”

Cecilia smiled understandingly. “Fine, if you haven’t figured it out yet, I’ll just have to wait for you.”

Cecilia’s eyes were twinkling under the streetlights.

Clarence had never seen that kind of twinkle in Miranda’s eyes before.

Today, he was seeing it in Cecilia’s eyes.

Clarence shuddered, and his heart throbbed.

Suddenly, the seniors exercising in the park exclaimed, “Someone’s fainted!”

“Call 911!’

“Can anyone help?”

Everyone looked over and saw an old man looking to be in his sixties or seventies lying amongst the crowd. He was convulsing uncontrollably and foaming at the mouth.

People around him were backing away. This was not because they were cold and detached, but because they were scared to get involved.

Nowadays, the internet was very advanced, and there had been many extortion cases that had gone viral online. They had created very bad social practices.

No one knew this old man who had fainted, so no one wanted to take the risk to help him.

What if they were extorted?

They were old, so they would likely be fine, but what if they had children? They could not become a burden to their children.

The less trouble, the better.

Clarence was eager to save the old man. He pushed the crowd away. “Please make way. I’m a doctor, so let me take a look.”

“Kid, don’t be so nosy. What if he extorts you?” one of the old men reminded out of kindness.

Clarence shook his head. “Right now, it’s more important to save him. I’ll worry about potential extortion later.”

Clarence did not care about such things. He squatted beside the old man who had passed out and checked the insides of his body.

At that moment, Clarence heard someone sneer behind him. “Clarence, you dare to save him with your limited medical skills? Aren’t you scared that you’ll bankrupt yourself paying for compensation? Thank goodness my daughter divorced you. If she hadn’t, judging by your character, we wouldn’t be able to pay it for you even if we had assets worth hundreds of millions.”

It was Peony and Armstrong. They had also been taking a walk in the park after dinner.

When they saw Clarence trying to save the old man and overestimating his own capabilities, they immediately started to ridicule him..
