The bodyguard next to Leah was enraged. He walked over and roared, “What did you just say? Do you know who Master Sanders is? How dare you curse Master Sanders? Are you already tired of living?” The middle-aged bodyguard had a ferocious look on his face.

Leah had an unpleasant look on her face. She waved her hand at the bodyguard and said, “That’s enough. Quiet.”

“Master Sanders?” The bodyguard was stunned.

Leah scolded, “Dismissed.”

“Understood.”

He walked behind Leah in dissatisfaction, still looking at Clarence with hostility.

Clarence was calm, so he did not take the threat to heart.

Leah asked in a deep voice, “Clarence, are you telling the truth? Who are you to say that I have too much poison in my body and that I’ll die without warning in three months?”

Clarence smiled. “I am a doctor. Why would I want to lie to you? Also, what good would I gain from lying to you? I can tell you honestly that you have poison in your body.”

After Clarence said this, he continued to prove that he was right. “Even though your cheeks are rosy and you look like you have sufficient vitality, in reality, this is the result of consuming female ginseng pills to replenish your blood, and also more ginseng pills, this time to warm and tone your energy and blood, right?

“Those two pills consist of ginseng, female ginseng, poria-cocos mushrooms, parched white peony roots, dried orange peel, cinnamon, atractylodes rhizome, candied licorice roots, and more.”

Leah was stunned.

Clarence was right.

“These herbs don’t look too different from each other, but you should have consumed other supplements along with them as well.”

Clarence paused for a second. “If I’m not wrong, there are wolfberries, isatis tinctoria root, poa nubigena, nux vomica, and more in your supplements. It’d be fine if you only consumed them occasionally, but you’re eating them as regularly as your main meals. That’s why poison has accumulated in your body.”

Clarence shook his head, “However, since you’ve also consumed female ginseng pills to replenish your blood and ginseng pills to warm and tone your energy and blood, those two things are currently suppressing the poison in your body. If I’m not wrong, the person who gave you those supplements might want to kill you.

“Once the supplements lose their balance, you will feel discomfort and you’ll die without warning.

“The person who did this was very smart or at least very familiar with traditional medicine. They also knew how to control the dosage of each herb.”

When Leah heard this, her face went dark.

She had indeed been consuming such supplements in recent years. The supplements had been given to her by a very dear junior of hers.

Jackson sensed that something was wrong. “Clarence, stop talking nonsense.”

Chip nodded too. “Clarence, that’s enough. We already know the extent of your medical skills. Stop showing off in front of Master Sanders. You should stop before things get worse. You’re still young, so Master Sanders won’t blame you.”

Julian spoke as well. “Clarence, stop talking nonsense, my boy. Master Sanders is very respectable, and there are so many medical professionals in Beth City to check Master Sanders’ health every week. Even they didn’t know about Master Sanders being poisoned. How could you know?”

In order to prove himself, Clarence said, “I’m not talking nonsense.”

He shook his head and looked at Leah. “If I’m not wrong, Master Sanders, you’ll have a splitting headache every day at noon, and you’ll need to rest for two hours because of it. After your afternoon nap, you’ll feel weak for an hour. You will only fully recover after that.

“At night, you struggle to fall asleep. You will only fall asleep around 3 or 4 in the morning, even if you’ve been lying in bed the whole night.”

Clarence took out his phone. “It’s noon.”

After he said that, Leah’s face turned pale. Then, she reached out a hand to hold her forehead. She was shaking slightly.

“Master Sanders!”

The middle-aged bodyguard behind her rushed forward to hold Leah.

Clarence frowned and took a few steps forward. He took out a silver needle to stab into Leah’s head.

“What are you doing?” The middle-aged bodyguard was horrified. He used his hand to stop Clarence.

Clarence said coldly, “I’m a doctor. I have a method to soothe her pain. Do you want her to continue to suffer?”

The middle-aged bodyguard was dazed but soon retracted the hand that was stopping Clarence.

Clarence did not hesitate. He stabbed Leah thrice. The needles were stabbed into Leah’s upper temple acupoint, lower temple acupoint, and head acupoint. Leah grunted softly as she woke up. She was feeling much better.

“Master Sanders, are you okay?” The middle-aged bodyguard was worried.

Leah shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Then, she looked at Clarence. “You’re right. My condition is just as you’ve said. I wonder, do you have a way to cure me?”

Clarence nodded. “Of course. However, I’ve just treated Bob and I need to rest for two days. You can come two days from now, and I’ll help you get rid of the poison.”

In reality, the green light in the cross necklace had been exhausted after saving Bob.

He might not be able to completely heal Leah with just the teachings of Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture.

Thus, Clarence delayed the treatment for two days.

Over those two days, he would look at some normal patients in Thirteen Hall so he could accumulate enough green light to eventually save Leah.

“Okay, I’ll come again in two days.” Leah nodded and left Thirteen Hall hurriedly.

Bob and Selina also bid their farewells.

After they left, Julian sighed. “Clarence, would it kill you to just shut up?”

Jackson and Chip were also looking at Clarence helplessly.

‘What’s wrong?” Clarence asked.

Julian shook his head. “Who is Leah Sanders? She’s from Beth City. Beth City is full of trickery and scams that none of us dare dip our toes into. Even if Leah has been poisoned, you should just pretend you didn’t see anything. Mr. Hayes, Mr. Larson, and I were already warning you. Why couldn’t you tell?”

Julian felt very helpless.

Anyone could tell that someone wanted Leah dead.

However, Clarence had no appreciation for the gravity of things. He had exposed how Leah was being poisoned publicly.

Would he not get into trouble again if the person poisoning Leah found out about this?

Jackson looked at Clarence. “Beth City is very dangerous and the people there are vicious. Mediterranean City is complex enough, but to the people in Beth City, it’s child’s play. If the person poisoning Leah discovers that you’re the one who exposed their plans, you might get into trouble as well.”

Clarence chuckled nonchalantly. “Oh, you’re worried about that? I know what you mean, but there’s nothing to be worried about.”

Even the people from the world’s most powerful consortium wanted Clarence gone, so did he need to fear a few more people from Beth City?

He would just figure things out as issues presented themselves.

Chip reminded him, “Clarence, things are not as easy as you think.”

He continued, “Aside from you, can anyone else cure Leah’s condition?”

Clarence thought about it. He would need to combine Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture and the green light from his cross necklace to completely heal Leah.

Aside from him, there should be no one else in the world able to heal Leah.

The person who had poisoned her was obviously trying to kill her. They were not giving her any chance to escape from this.

Clarence shook his head. “I don’t think there’s anyone else who can do this.”

Chip raised an eyebrow. “Okay! Tonight, you’ll fly away from this country. You can go anywhere you want to have fun with the ten billion Selina promised you. After three months, you can come back once Leah is dead. When that happens, the person who poisoned her will know that you went abroad to hide from them, so they will know you don’t mean to fight them. Then, they will not cause trouble for you.

“Out of so many potential solutions, the best one is to get away. You can go to Sandy Country, Europe, America, or even Maple Country. Anywhere you want! I’ll buy the tickets for you.”

Chip took out his phone, about to call his secretary to ask her to buy flight tickets for Clarence.

Clarence shook his head decisively. “I’m not leaving.. I’m curing Leah no matter what.”
