Chapter 20 The Woman Upstairs
A hint of surprise and panic flashed across the middle–aged man, and he pushed the door open, shouting “Dad, you’re awake!”
Ezekiel was talking to Genevieve when the man barged in, and the elder said plainly, I’m fine, Abraham. Let us speak in private, please.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Abraham Ford was taken aback. Never one to challenge his father’s authority, he exited the emergency room at once. That said, the man was grim.
When he saw William still standing outside, he forced a smile and said, “I’m sorry, Dr. Barrett. I was wrong about you.”
“It’s cool. I won’t mind as long as you pay a little extra,” William monotoned.
Abraham seemed to be on edge as he made a call far away very quickly.
Five minutes later. Genevieve came out and thanked the miracle doctor from the bottom of her heart, saying. “We’re forever in your debt, Mr. Barrett. Does my grandfather still need to stay in the hospital?”
“It’s best that he does, advised William. “Find a ward with a nicer environment. I’ll treat him for the next few days.
“Okay, I’ll see to it right away.” She beckoned her subordinate at that, instructing them to find a ward and also telling them to inform the doctor about the situation.
When the doctor hurried over, he was gobsmacked that the patient was fully conscious and that his readings had returned to normal.
William didn’t have the patience to explain to the doctor, so he followed Ezekiel to the ward and immediately scribbled down a prescription and handed it to the Ford–Welbys.
The medicine used this time was rarer and more expensive, and one of them was a century–old wild ginseng. But for the deep–pocketed Fords, this was not an issue at all; they got everything in less than an hour, and Genevieve went to prepare the medicine herself.
The sun had gone down at this point, and William continued with Ezekiel’s acupuncture treatment while also nursing the elder’s body to health using Qi. Sometime after 10.00PM, Ezekiel recovered mostly after taking his second batch of medicine. In fact, he could sit and chat now.
“Ginny, write a check for 150,000 Talons to Mr. Barrett,” instructed the elder. “Please accept our token of appreciation, Mr. Barrett. I will give you proper thanks once I’m done dealing with the matters at hand.”
There was nothing wrong with a doctor accepting money from the patient he treated, and William didn’t stand on ceremony as he accepted the check right away. “Rest well tonight. I’ll come back again tomorrow.”
At that, Genevieve saw William to the door and instructed the chauffeur to send the doctor straight to Wyvern Hotel..
After returning to his room, William made a call home to say that he won’t be returning home for the night. Melisenna’s cancer cells had been suppressed after two days of treatment. Plus, her condition didn’t require daily treatment, and she’d be fine even if William performed acupuncture on her every other day.

Chapter 20 The Woman Upstairs
He looked up at once and found the beauty doing yoga earlier in the afternoon pinned to the floor by a stalwart drunk man, who was reacting with carnal instincts right then as he shredded the young woman’s clothes in two shakes.
“No!” William hit the roof upon seeing the woman being defiled. At that, he climbed out of the window. pressed his hands against the wall, and sprang a few feet up in the air. Then, he gently opened the window upstairs and landed on the floor like an agile cat.
That said, the boorish man didn’t even notice a grown man barging in. With that, William walked toward him and pressed a pressure point on his back, causing the man to stiffen up before he fell to the floor.
The young woman had already lost all hope, for her undergarments were all that was standing between her and the boorish man. Fortunately for her, a man appeared, and the boorish man dropped to the floor.
Meanwhile, William turned around and said plainly, “Put your clothes on.”
The young woman’s clothes were pretty much unwearable at this point; all that was left was a pair of pink panties. At that, she hurriedly wrapped a throw around her body and thanked with teary eyes, saying,
Thank you.”
It was only then William turned around and glanced at the man on the floor. “Who is he? Do you want me to call the cops on him?”
“It’s fine.” The young woman lowered her head. “He’s my boss.”
William frowned in response. “If you don’t call the cops on him when he has already attempted to defile you, there will be a next time.”
Suddenly, the young woman buried her face in her hands and bawled. “But I don’t have any other choice! My mom needs a pair of kidneys, but I don’t have money for the transplant. I don’t want my mom to leave me, so I asked my boss to lend me some money. He told me to wait for him here, but who’d have thought”
William sighed at that. What a gullible woman!
The young woman wiped her tears away, then suddenly recalled something. “H–How did you get in?”
Now, that wasn’t a simple question to answer William cleared his throat awkwardly and lied, “Your door wasn’t shut, and I heard screaming, so I came to check.”
I swear I shut the door or did I? The young woman was baffled.
“With what your boss just did to you, I suggest you quit your job,” William advised, but the young woman shook her head. “I really need money. I won’t have the funds to treat my mother if I quit now.”
“I’m a doctor,” revealed William after some thought. “Perhaps I can help you out. How about this? I’m staying on the floor below yours. Bring your mother to me tomorrow morning
“You’re a doctor?” The young woman was taken aback.
“Yes, so I can help you,” William affirmed, then squatted down and slapped the man’s face a few times. The boorish man gradually regained consciousness, yet he was still immobile.
“Who are you?!” He looked fearfully at William. “What do you want?!”
“How dare you touch my girlfriend?! Do you want tie so badly?” William threatened icily, causing the

boorish man’s face to blanch while he denied instantly. “No, I didn’t!”
“Did you not? What is this about, then? Are you telling me she shredded her own clothes?!” William sneered. “Guess what? I’ve put up cameras in this room. It’s cool if you don’t want to admit it. I’ll hand you over to the cops now, Given your crime, you’ll probably be spending at least three years in jail.”
The boorish man’s heart skipped a beat at that. “No, no. Please don’t! I’m sorry, man! I slipped up! Please spare me. I–I’ll give you money!”
At that. William turned to the young woman to find her stunned on the spot, unsure of what to say at all.
Hence, William gave the boorish man a solid slap in the face. “Do you think I want your f*cking money?! Heed my words. Give my girlfriend her salary tomorrow, and she’ll quit her job. Do you hear me?!”
“Yes, yes!” The boorish man acknowledged at once.
Then, William smacked his body, and he could finally move again. Relieved, he dashed out of the room right away for fear that William would change his mind the next second.
Meanwhile, the young woman swaddled the throw more tightly and said while biting her lip, “Thank you. It really wouldn’t know how to deal with this if it wasn’t for you.”
but the young woman
“I won’t bother you anymore. Get some rest.” At that, William turned to leave, but the young woman stopped him. “Wait! What’s your name? Can I have your number?”
“The name’s William Barrett,” revealed William before giving her his phone number.
After saving the number, the young woman introduced herself. “Pleased to meet you, Mr. William. I’m Elsa Limsey.
There was a hint of an amorous purr in the way she called him ‘Mr. William, and he became infatuated at once. Then, he dashed out the door, for he nearly wanted to do what the boorish man did.
After taking the elevator ride back to his room, William looked up and found Elsa spacing out on the couch. She seemed to be at a loss for what to do with the future.
A few minutes later, she took a shower, put on a jacket, and left the hotel.

With the pretty lady gone, William was bored as hell. Hence, he decided to clear his head and cultivate the Way of Heaven and Earth. At present, he was in the Qi Cultivation State. His Qi had long opened up twelve meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians, and the next thing for him to do now was to open up the secondary meridians.
The second meridians referred to the minor meridians attached to the organs, bones, and muscles of the entire body, and once William opened them up, he would become a new man!
