NovelEnglishChapter 439 Persistent Fever
Bill's outburst caught the attention of every specialist in the room. They then turned to look at Luna.
The director and his entourage were surprised to see her dressed in their hospital's uniform.
“Which department are you from? I have never seen you before,” asked the middle-aged director,
Wilson, after glancing at Luna.
Noticing Wilson's gaze, Johnny quickly explained the situation, “She is a friend of mine, Mr. Miles.
Originally the director of internal medicine at Dellmoor Hospital, she now runs her own clinic. She
brought her friend here for a check-up, and I requested her to help take a look at Old Mr. Condle.”
“Why did Mr. Condle claim she is to blame for his father's predicament?” Wilson asked with a puzzled
expression after hearing Johnny's explanation.
“I run a clinic. Old Mr. Condle came to see me yesterday.”
Luna did not conceal anything, nor could she, for the matter.

I did nothing wrong anyway, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
“What was your diagnosis of Old Mr. Condle's condition then? What did you prescribe him that might
have caused him chronic fever? We haven't been able to determine the exact cause yet,” Wilson
questioned with a puzzled expression.
“When Old Mr. Condle came to me yesterday, his fever was already dangerously high. My diagnosis
revealed that his tonsils were inflamed, so I prescribed him some anti-inflammatory medication and
something to bring down the fever. I didn't prescribe him any special medication.”
Luna told the crowd the truth about what had transpired the day before.
“That's strange. We specialists also concluded that Old Mr. Condle's tonsils were inflamed, yet this
fever just won't break.”
Wilson chose to believe Luna after hearing how she had arrived at the same conclusion as the
specialists and considering her credentials as the former director of a department in Dellmoor Hospital.
“Don't listen to this quack. She must have prescribed my father something illegal, causing his fever to
keep relapsing. I'll call the cops on her and have her sent to prison if anything happens to him!” Bill
began shouting at the top of his voice, panicking when Wilson and the others showed signs of believing
Luna.
“I understand that you're worried about your father, Mr. Condle, but that's no reason to accuse a doctor.
We need to focus on finding out the reason for Old Mr. Condle's fever not breaking and identify the root
cause as soon as possible.”
Upon noticing how distressed Luna was after being accused by Bill, Johnny defended her.
“You've been talking about this all day and still have not come up with anything. What else is there to
discuss? I say we should just have this quack arrested and interrogated for her motives for harming my
father. My dad might not make it if you all continue to waste time discussing!” Bill retorted without
showing Johnny any courtesy.
“Bad news,” exclaimed the nurse monitoring the patient's vital signs. “Old Mr. Condle is having trouble

The crowd gasped.
“Bring me a ventilator at once!”
Alarmed by Wilhelm's critical situation, Wilson ordered the medical staff to begin emergency treatment
right away.
We're doomed if anything happens to Old Mr. Condle in our hospital.
He knew the extent of Wilhelm's influence better than most.
He has students all over the world. Even the decision-makers in Jussipi take his words seriously. His
popularity is also evident from how the big shots in Xenhall came in such a hurry to visit him.
Wilhelm's condition stabilized after using the respirator.
With how things were going, however, his life would be in danger if the respirator was removed.
It was not feasible for him to live the rest of his days relying solely on the machine.
Respirators were wildly expensive, costing tens of thousands required just to activate them and another
forty thousand at least for each use.
Even the Condle family could not afford such an extravagant cost.
It would not take long for them to be bankrupted by Wilhelm's medical expenditure.
