Chapter 14 Too Enthusiastic
Emily was stunned. This was the first time she had seen Mr. Hawking so excited. She didn’t know how
to respond for a moment. Just as she was in a daze, Mr. Hawking had already gently led her to the
lounge. “It’s so hot outside. Come, Ms. Armstrong, let’s go inside where it’s nice and cool!” Emily was
stunned. Today, Mr. Hawking seemed to be a little too enthusiastic? What was going on? Looking at the
cup of tea he poured her in the lounge, she felt a little flattered. Mr. Hawking had excellent medical
skills and was highly respected. He was not an ordinary person. She nodded politely and looked at Mr.
Hawking who was still holding her hand tightly. She was a little embarrassed. “I’m here, Mr. Hawking.
You… this is?” Realizing that he was a little too excited, Mr. Hawking smiled and let go of her hand. He
said a little self-deprecatingly, “Aiya, look at how worked up I am!” Emily smiled and retracted her
hand.
She turned around and found that Leona, Young Master Greens, and his assistant were all standing

seemed that her treatment had worked quite well. Of course, she knew that was why he could recover
so fast. Looking at the unfathomable expression of Mr. Hawking, she understood in her heart that she
seemed to know why Mr. Hawking was acting this way. Sure enough, Mr. Hawking went straight to the
point and said: “Ms. Armstrong, you came today. I want to ask you something. I heard from Leona that
it was you who performed the acupuncture on Lucas. That’s why he can be so energetic and healthy
now. His condition is so serious, his heart and pulse are damaged, and his health is damaged inside
and out. If his old illness recurs, he is as good as dead. I want to know, how did you get him to recover
so quickly? Also, how did you create the prescription you gave him? I’ve seen the prescription. There is
a medicinal herb called ‘Ice Snow Lotus’ in it. This medicinal herb is rarely seen in the market. How did
you get it? After knowing you for so long, I can’t believe I only just found out you know medicine too.
May I ask you where you learned your skills from?” Mr. Hawking was relentless in his direct
questioning. Emily looked a little troubled.
Mr. Hawking did not have any ill intentions in his questioning. Whether it was the ancient medical
prescription or her ancient medical techniques, they were all taught to Emily by her master.
Her master had told her before that she should not reveal too much about ancient medicine to
outsiders.
She deliberated for a moment and decided to hide it from them. “Actually, I don’t know much about
medical skills. I met a master before and learned some things from him. I only know a little.” She
revealed almost nothing. Mr. Hawking looked at her curiously. “Then may I ask who your master is?”
This was probably asking for her master’s name. She pretended not to understand and avoided the
question. “He is just an idle old Chinese medicine doctor. There is nothing special about him. I was just
lucky I was able to help today. You don’t have to take it to heart.”
Mason looked at her curiously and did not believe her.
Lucas narrowed his eyes. His pair of calm eyes were as deep as a cold pond, mysterious and
unfathomable. It was impossible to see his emotions.

expert behind her. She was hiding it from him.
He was not angry and only said, “Ms. Armstrong, you are modest. Do you know? I have studied
medicine for a lifetime and treated this kid for a long time. I have never had as great an effect on him as
you have today. I know. You don’t want to tell me everything. I don’t blame you. However, there is
something I want to ask you. I hope that for the sake of our friendship over these years, you will agree
to this.” “Please speak.” Emily glanced at him. Mr. Hawking shifted his gaze to Lucas. “You… Do you
have a way to save this kid? He is the son of my friend. If you can save him, you can choose your
reward. Just name your price!”
Emily looked at Lucas indifferently.
