“I’m guessing it must be because of her poor health,” Miss Woods answered carnestly.
“I think so too.” Vincent sighed with a look of despair.
His wife was always, and on top of that, she stuck with him through poverty while he was trying to
make a name for himself in the Gangster World, and this predisposed to her poor health in later life.
This was made even worse by her giving birth to their children, and gradually, her health deteriorated to
a point where she frequently got sick and had to spend months in bed at a time.
Vincent sought out many doctors and spent a lot of money and effort trying to treat his wife’s condition
to no avail. On the contrary, Gloria’s health deteriorated over the last two years, and she occasionally
would collapse on even the mildest exertion.
This was not good at all!
Vincent despaired at this, but there was nothing much he could do.

invaded her body. She’ll be fine,” Leon reassured them.
Traditional medicine was built based on observing, smelling, listening, and analyzing; just from a
glance, Leon could see that the cold forces have built up to significant levels within Gloria’s body, but
she was not in
any immediate danger.
However, if she did not receive treatment soon, it would eventually cause her to get sicker over time
and endanger her life!
“The cold forces?” Both Snow and Fane froze at this. They knew since a long time ago that their
mother had poor health, but none of them knew of the exact cause.
“The truth is, I’m quite well–versed in medicine. If you don’t mind, I can give Missus Poole a quick
examination to see what’s going on, and perhaps come up with a treatment plan,” Leon explained.
He was only able to diagnose Gloria’s condition based on observation but treating her required more
extensive examination.
“Sure, go ahead!” Snow and Fane were both delighted at this and immediately retreated from the bed
to allow Leon to approach.
Vincent hesitated when he saw Leon approaching his wife. He tugged on his son’s sleeve and asked in
a low voice, “Fane, I didn’t know Mister Wolf practiced medicine too. Is he very good at it?”
“I don’t know either. I’ve never heard him mention it.” Fane shook his head blankly. All he knew was
that
Leon was a powerful man and has close connections with the Shears, but he never heard of Leon’s
abilities in
medicine.
“Well,” vincent’s heart leaped into his throat as his blood ran cold.
He knew that Fane was close friends with Leon, and if even Fane did not know the extent of Leon’s
capabilities, this meant that Leon probably only scratched the surface and did not know too much at all!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe sought out many famous doctors to treat his wife to no avail, so how can an amateur like Leon
possibly
do so?
However, when he was reminded that Leon was just doing this out of kindness, Vincent hesitated and
finally did not stop Leon from examining Gloria.
“Stop!” all of a sudden, a sharp voice rang out.
Mister Hendrix was leading a man in his late thirties, who was dressed in a suit with a white coat
draped over it, into the room. He was holding some medical gadgets and equipment in his hands, and
an arrogant expression was plastered on his face.
This was Doctor Chase, the physician that Fane spent a lot of money to hire as Gloria’s doctor; he was
the one who nursed Gloria back to health over the years.
Doctor Chase shot Leon a look of disapproval, and turned to ask Vincent, “Who’s this man, Mister
Poole?”
