Chapter 160
As soon as the car pulled up at the entrance of the Traditional Chinese Medicine College, Philip Andrew’s call came through.
The voice from the other end sounded imposing: “Where are you now?” Having waited for Anna Stuat to come back to the ward after taking the medicine, Philip Andrew sent someone to inquire only to find out that she had already left. He initially thought something might have gone wrong, but after Nicola Bery’s check, he learned that Anna Stuat had gone out. “I am outside dealing with something,” Anna Stuat said vaguely, not wanting to let Philip Andrew know why she came to the Traditional Chinese Medicine College. Unexpectedly, her words made the man’s face turn grim. “Are you with Sadin Andrew?”
Anna Stuat was a little puzzled about how Philip Andrew knew she was with Sadin Andrew, but she didn’t think too much about it. She nodded and casually said, “I hurt my leg and can’t walk properly, so I asked him to bring me here.”
She also remembered what Sadin Andrew had said about the time before, and it was indeed lunchtime now. So she added, “I might be late coming back to the hospital. You have lunch first and be sure to keep it light.” “I have something else to do, so I’ll hang up now.” The security guard had just finished checking and registering them, and returned their IDs.
Anna Stuat didn’t have time to talk to Philip Andrew any further and hastily said goodbye before hanging up the phone. Sadin Andrew obviously noticed her recent call and looked over, asking, “Was that your cousin?” “Yeah.”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing that Anna Stuat didn’t want to say more, Sadin Andrew didn’t ask any further, but his eyes couldn’t help but dim a bit.
Meanwhile, on the other end, Philip Andrew, still lying on the hospital bed, clenched his hand tightly as he watched the phone being hung up.
Nicola Bery stood by the bed, witnessing the entire process of Philip Andrew’s conversation with Anna Stuat. At this moment, she dared not even breathe too loudly.
“Where did she go?” Philip Andrew asked when he decided to call Anna Stuat. It was Nicola Bery who was reporting Anna Stuat’s whereabouts to Philip Andrew. It was also because of Nicola Bery’s investigation and report that Philip Andrew found out that Anna Stuat was with Sadin Andrew.
For a moment, Nicola Bery couldn’t quite figure out what was going on in Philip Andrew’s mind. She cautiously said, “She went to the Chinese hospital.”
“The Chinese hospital.”
Philip Andrew softly repeated the name in his mind.
He was aware of Anna Stuat’s social circle in the capital.
Anna Stuat did not have many friends in the capital city. Mike Berly could be considered one, Dr. Turner could also be considered one, and the recently recruited Zhou Yuan could barely be counted as another.
Other than that, there were no others.
If she was looking for a friend, then the only reason she would go to the Chinese hospital would be to see Dr. Turner.
“Go and investigate what she went to the Chinese hospital for, who she met, and report back to me immediately,” Philip Andrew instructed as he turned his head.
Nicola Bery went out to make a call and quickly came back with the investigation results.
He held onto his phone, looking conflicted and hesitant to speak.
“Just say it.”
“Miss Stuat went to the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine to see Professor Turner. Coincidentally, Dr. Turner was also there. From what I asked, it seems to be…”
“What is it?”
“She was discussing with Professor Turner to see if you could improve the prescription you currently use, hoping to shorten the treatment time and heal your leg as soon as possible,” Nicola Bery said.
Philip Andrew’s face immediately darkened.
Nicola Bery swallowed nervously and tried to remedy the situation. “Maybe Miss Stuat is just worried that your leg is recovering too slowly, so she’s in a hurry to… ”
It was difficult to convince oneself with such words.
No wonder others would misunderstand.
She got close to Sadin Andrew on one foot and was in a hurry to cure Philip Andrew’s leg on the other.
It’s hard not to think that she wanted to quickly distance herself from Philip Andrew and think about being with Sadin Andrew in that area.
Even Nicola Bery thought so, let alone Philip Andrew.
His face looked dark, and was speechless for a while.
“Tell Dr. Turner to keep an eye on it carefully and report any situation to me at any time.” Nicola Bery dared not delay, so he quickly contacted Dr Turner, tell Philip Andrew what he has to say. Dr. Turner also looked confused after answering the phone. “Surveillance… surveillance of Miss Stuat?” He turned his head across the glass door of the kitchen and glanced at Anna Stuat from a distance.
Anna Stuat is currently in a heated discussion with Professor Turner before the government commits the crime.
As they speak, they also brush and write on paper from time to time, and even exchange views on what to write. Obviously, they were immersed in it. Dr. Turner was also listening, but he couldn’t quite get in.
“Just as Nicola Bery called one after another, Professor Turner became annoyed with him and rushed him to the kitchen.”. He’s really confused at the moment
Why did Philip Andrew have to keep an eye on Anna Stuat?
“It’s not surveillance, nor oversight!” Nicola Bery said exasperatedly. “Just pay a little attention and contact me immediately if anything happens.”
Dr. Turner still didn’t quite understand what “anything happens” meant from Nicola Bery’s words.
However, since Nicola Bery sounded somewhat frustrated, he dared not ask any more questions and simply replied, “Yes, don’t worry, I understand.”
After hanging up, he hesitated for a moment, brewed a pot of tea, and walked to the kitchen.
“It’s not about monitoring, no, just paying a little bit of attention to Anna Stuat, right? But you can’t pay attention to someone from the kitchen behind a closed door, can you?”
“Grandpa, are you thirsty from talking with Miss Stuat? Here, have a cup of tea.” Dr. Turner said with a smile, pouring them both some tea.
Unexpectedly, this only provoked Professor Turner’s anger. “You scoundrel, who told you to come out here?”
“Grandpa?”
At that moment, Professor Turner and Anna Stuat were discussing something very important and their minds were fully engrossed in it. So when they were interrupted, he became very unhappy.
Thankfully, Anna Stuat quickly came to his rescue. “Grandpa Turner, don’t be angry. It just so happens that we don’t have any clear thoughts right now. Why don’t we take a break and rest for a while?”
Considering Anna Stuat’s request, Mr. Turner calmed down and decided to hold back his anger.
However, he still looked down his nose at his grandson, who was so knowledgeable about traditional Chinese medicine.
Fortunately, Dr. Turner was used to this kind of treatment since childhood and was not ashamed.
He leaned over and took a look at the preliminary prescription draft that Anna Stuat and Professor Turner had modified after discussing it for a while. After examining it for a while, he couldn’t figure out the reason behind the changes and couldn’t help but ask, “Wasn’t Miss Stuat’s previous prescription good enough? Why did you suddenly want to change it?”
In theory, there was nothing wrong with the previous prescription.
The doctors were all at a loss when it came to Philip Andrews’ leg, and Anna Stuat’s ability to help him recover to this extent showed just how effective her prescription and acupuncture were.
From Dr. Turner’s point of view, changing the prescription suddenly was completely unnecessary!
