Doctor Jeff 2 old Master Scavo had four children and five grandchildren. Regarded as the patriarch of the Scavo family, he was respected by his siblings and sisters.
He was responsible for the Scavo family's rise to prominence in those days and for keeping them that way.
Sophia being the second born has a son, Jamie's Father was the third born and he has two children, the fourth born also had a son. The firstborn was not living with them. She travelled to her husband's country after they were married and seldom returned.
In addition to Old Master Scavo, there are other elderly members who are
| either nephews, nieces, or cousins of the Old Master. They have a very intricate family structure. a | Grace Scavo, the younger sibling of Old Master Scavo from a different mother, was the woman who had been insulting Jeff earlier.
She was the next elderly and well- respected person after Old Master Scavo.
When Jeff pulled the Housekeeper's collars, she found it intolerable and thought it was a foolish move. She did not really expect anything from the young physician, but by yanking the housekeeper's collar, he went too far.
"Who do you think you are?" Grace's gaze burned with an intensity that could scorch the earth, a fiery inferno
of anger and resentment, as she locked eyes with the source of her fury, Jeff.
With his blazing eyes fixed on the | Housekeeper, Jeff did not respond to her. "Housekeeper Lee. Respond to me when I am being polite.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven Sophia was surprised at Jeff's action and was starting to feel regretful. "Jeff, please tell me if something is happening!" "That's not the miscep syrup. It's soy sauce" Jeff replied, his hand still grappling the Housekeepers collar.
"And soy sauce has a very high sodium content!" Unblinking, Sophia stood there as though trying to take it all in.
"If the Old Master truly requested that
| the chefs cease including foods high in sodium in his meal, then it indicates that someone has been surreptitiously adding it to the Old Man's meal," Jeff clarified, causing everyone to become silent.
Who could possibly dare to do that? All of a sudden, nothing made sense.
Housekeeper Lee has been with Old Master Scavo for over forty years. That he would do something like that is really unbelievable.
"Housekeeper Lee, did you do it?" With emotion straining her voice, Sophia questioned.
Housekeeper Lee suddenly fell to his feet, tears welling in his eyes. "I would never do such a thing, Madam. Even though I was aware of this, I had to
keep quiet because of my condition." Sime "Don't let us listen to this man, it's obvious that he's guilty" With a sudden interruption, Grace spoke. "Get outside Mr. Lee!" '"Hmm' It was the feeble elderly man on the bed who let out a silent moan.
Jeff moved to his side without delay.
""Please get me silver acupuncture needles." "Acupuncture needles? After we have exhausted every option, do you think a traditional approach can save him? Don't be ridiculous, Kid." "Aunty Sophia, please be quick" Ignoring the jeers, Jeff pressed the Old man's lower abdomen, causing him to
groan in agony.
After a few minutes, Jeff rernoved the eT 01d Man's clothing and gently tapped his hands against his stomach.
He inserted the needles quickly and expertly, making sure they landed on the right pressure points. Even Sophia had to let go of the breath she was holding when he made gentle yet firm movements.
Although she was not well-versed in acupuncture, she knew some elderly professionals and could tell the young man was skilled.
"You have a lot of skill," said Sophia's son. "Despite your youth, you are knowledgeable about acupuncture." Jeff looked at the needles he had placed
| correctly and said, "I am quite | intelligent," feeling satisfied. If he told | them that he had never tried acupuncture before and had only learned the technique from books and videos, they would all freak out.
"It will take three hours to remove the toxins from his body because he is poisoned," stated Jeff in a professional manner. "You are not allowed to touch or remove the needles during the three hours." "And why should we believe you?" With a taunting voice, Grace spoke.
"What if something goes wrong? Will you be..." "Do you want something to go wrong?" Jeff shot the woman a glare.
"Why do I feel like..." "Don't run your mouth carelessly
young man?!" With a snarl, Grace peered critically at Jeff.
Jeff turned to face Sophia, chuckling quietly. "Aunty, come talk to me for a moment. Could you please tell them to return to the room in three hours?" While Sophia followed Jeff out of the room, the other members departed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWithout holding back, Jeff stated bluntly, "I think something is off." The Housekeeper is obviously not involved in this, but for whatever reason, he will not say anything. I specifically requested that you send everyone outside." Sophia paid close attention to Jeff's plan, wondering why he seemed wiser and more experienced than his years.
His manner of speaking with her was | the same as that of Old Master Scavo.
= "Thank you so much Jeff" Sophia expressed her gratitude, tears glistening on her face.
An hour after everyone had left, however, the Old Man's room was entered by a young man. He was wearing a mask and an ear stud was on his left ear.
After glancing around to make sure nobody was there, the man removed his mask to reveal his beautiful face.
"I'm sorry, Patriarch but I have to this" His eyes briefly flashed with guilt, but it was fleeting. With deliberate movements, he approached the neatly arranged needles, prepared
to remove them.
The door opened momentarily, » revealing a woman of about fifty years of age.
It was Grace.
"Rick! Don't do it, okay?" With a tone full of frustration, Grace said in a breathless manner. "Just let him live, I will find a way to deal with whatever is bothering you!" "No!" Rick snapped. "He will select a different heir when he wakes up, and it will not be me, if he does not leave now. You have given the Scavo family your best shot, but this evil old man does not seem to care." In addition to being Grace's only child, Rick was an idol. He started working in the entertainment business when he
was a teenager, but because he was constantly getting into trouble, things did not always go as planned. —— | He is disliked by Grandpa Scavo, who frequently chastises him for constantly bringing the family into disrepute.
"What if they find out?" Grace spoke up, sounding worried.
In response, Rick said, "So you will assist me in placing the blame on the young physician. He's young too. Thus, everything is quite simple." He reached over and began to remove each needle one by one in the following instant.
