Lincoln had a terrible temper, and even Apricot Hall’s owner, Caylie, was afraid of him. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

As expected, Lincoln scolded Caylie the moment the call connected. He was telling her off for calling him during his time off.

Caylie hung up the phone aggrievedly and said to the young man in the most gentle tone possible, “Dr. Faraday is busy, so please let me help you.”

“No. No. I would rather go to an orthopedic clinic somewhere further away.” The young man was

ng his father out of the clinic.

Just then, Emrys uttered, “Since you don’t trust a female doctor, please let me help you.”

“You?” The young man shot Emrys a suspicious look.

Caylie wanted to say something, but she went quiet upon receiving a signaling gaze from Emrys.

With a smile, Emrys answered, “That’s right. I’m a new doctor at Apricot Hall specializing in treating bone injuries.”

“Okay, then. Take a look at my dad’s arm quickly.” The young man was rather convinced.

Emrys

stepped forward to examine the patient’s arm, and his expression suddenly turned grim. “Your dad’s condition is dire!”

“What’s wrong?” The young man got worried.

“This is a severe dislocation of the elbow joint, which is compressing the ulnar nerve and causing dysfunction in the movement of the finger joints.”

“And?” the young man questioned immediately.

Emrys gave it some thought and uttered in a serious tone, “In this case, we have to proceed with amputation.”

“Amputation?” The young man widened his eyes in shock.

Caylie’s expression also changed dramatically when she heard that. How could Rys say such nonsense? Since when is amputation needed for treating bone fractures? When he gave me the look just now, I thought he knew what he was doing! Who would’ve thought that he was fooling around?

Caylie had always been treating medical cases with the utmost professionalism and seriousness. Therefore, despite loving Emrys dearly, she was disappointed in him. He vanished fifteen years ago and has returned now to be such an unreliable person.

When the young man finally came to his senses, he fumed, “Why don’t you amputate your own arm? Do you really know what you’re doing?”

At the same time, the patient was also trembling all over. “You’re a quack doctor, aren’t you? What have I ever done to you? Why must you hurt me-”

Crack!

All of a sudden, Emrys moved at the speed of light to press the patient’s elbow to reposition it.

The patient was still in a fit of rage, so he didn’t feel the slightest pain. Both the patient and the young man were stunned by what had happened. Huh? Is it healed? Oh! When the young doctor told us about amputation, he was merely distracting us so that there wouldn’t be any pain when he repositioned the

old man’s elbow.

Indeed, that was the truth. The patient was too focused on venting his anger, and that was why he didn’t feel any pain.

By the time they realized what had happened, the patient had regained the mobility of his arm.

“Doctor, I think you’re even better than Dr. Faraday. From now on, I only want to seek treatment from you whenever I visit Apricot Hall,” the patient said.

The patient and his son paid for the treatment, asked for Emrys name, and thanked him before leaving the clinic.

Caylie’s eyes were also sparkling in delight. “Emrys, I didn’t know you were an orthopedic doctor. When did you get your medical license?”

Caylie was a professional doctor, so she knew how good Emrys‘ medical skills were. Although the method was simple, it required an excellent technique. How he distracted the patient isn’t uncommon in

medical treatment. In fact, dentists do that all the time. They would tell their patients to do a countdown of three seconds and remove their patients‘ teeth before the countdown ends. Practitioners do that to divert the patients attention. That doesn’t apply to orthopedic doctors, though. Doctors in this field must assess thoroughly before applying pressure on the patients to reposition their bones. That process can cause anxiousness in patients, and some might also struggle due to the pain. Emrys used less than thirty seconds to diagnose the patient when the patient was still moving around, and that required a very strong ability to identify the spot to apply pressure. That’s a technique that one has to practice for decades to perfect/ Wait! Rys is only in his early twenties. How could he have learned such an advanced repositioning technique?
