immunity, and there are signs of joint contracture along his Achilles tendon. Also, he did not maintain a proper dietary intake, so his body lacks the necessary vitamins and nutrients, or in other words, he is malnourished.”When Larry noticed the frown on Kingsley’s face, he hurriedly added, “However, due to the patient’s active lifestyle prior to this, his body is still in relatively good health. The aforementioned symptoms will not pose too much of a problem.”“Explain.”“Malnutrition can be easily addressed with a gradual increase in dietary intake, while the Achilles tendon contracture can be remedied with physical therapy,” Larry elaborated. “It’s clear that the patient’s family has taken very good care of him. The patient doesn’t have any of the usual rashes, sores, or inflammation that we usually see in bedridden patients.”Kingsley nodded. “This means that he will fully recover once we look into his nutrition, treat his paralysis, and conduct physical therapy?”“Yes… Uhh, actually no…” Larry’s expression became a little awkward. “About that… Let me be frank with you.

You don’t need to worry about anything else.”Overwhelmed with emotion, Joshua trembled as he grasped Kingsley’s hand and declared, “Thank you. Really, Thank you so much, Mr. Nicholson. I never thought that I would be able to get such a thorough medical checkup.”“You don’t need to thank me. This is all credited to Leroy’s excellent performance at the company, and it’s the company that’s providing this benefit in return.” He took a look around the room and asked curiously, “Didn’t you tell Leroy about you coming to the hospital? Why isn’t he here?”Joshua wiped his grateful tears away and explained, “I did tell him, but he said that he was supervising on-site, so he couldn’t leave.”Kingsley nodded in understanding. He recognized that this was Leroy’s way
