Chapter 9

I had no idea that a miracle doctor like that is in this little River City.“I would have met him if I hadn’t had to leave in a hurry.”Hugh nodded his head, and his tone was firm.“Who is it? Who is the miracle doctor?”Homer asked, sitting up straight.“The man who brought this pill.”Hugh slowly took out a small wooden box containing the crushed pill.“This…”“Master Clark, you don’t know this, but the Quinn family took in a catatonic cripple out of nowhere two years ago.“I heard that he is engaged to Willow, the heiress of the Quinn family, so he stayed with the Quinn family.“This pill is from him. What… kind of doctor could he be?”Homer could not believe that a cripple in a wheelchair could be some miracle doctor.“Do you know what this pill represents?“Even if he wasn’t a miracle doctor, he was definitely close to a miracle doctor.“There are very few people in the world who can come up with such a pill.“That’s all I have to say, Mr. Larson.

I just want to take care of him.“Even if he’s not engaged to me, his disability is the result of defending the country.“For that alone, I should take care of him.”Willow’s tone of voice could not be more firm.“He’s now crippled in both legs and unable to take care of himself.“Aren’t you just telling me to let him get killed by kicking him out?“I absolutely disagree!”Willow clenched her teeth and still refused to agree to Fion’s request.“It’s not up to you!“It’s what the Quinn family and Old Madam want!“He’s been living off the Quinn family for two years. He doesn’t have to pay us anything, but he has to leave now that he’s regained his senses!“The Quinn family even took care of him for two years. How dare he give such a piece of garbage? I was humiliated. He might
