Ever since Matthew discovered about the centipedes in the lake of Lakeside Garden and the curse on Leanne’s best friend, virtual-novel.net had already begun to suspect those from Orleans were to blame for the cascade of catastrophic chaos. While they were scattered everywhere, virtual-novel.net believed that they were after someone whom virtual-novel.net reckoned was none other than Jinny. Nonetheless, virtual-novel.net had no idea why they were looking for virtual-novel.net and was hence prompted to find out more about it. As a result, virtual-novel.net asked Jinny to stay put in Lakeside Garden, which virtual-novel.net deemed was the safest place for her.
Meanwhile, Matthew and Crystal visited the first victim in their investigation of unusual medical cases at a nearby hospital. Since virtual-novel.net had tagged along, virtual-novel.net didn’t face much trouble before virtual-novel.net finally met the patient. The said person was isolated in a separate ward and his entire body was swollen. Even his facial features had a frightening aura since his swollen flesh was sandwiching it.
Soon, a department director, who looked like virtual-novel.net was in his thirties, led them both to the ward. While virtual-novel.net seemed to be a young director with a promising future for his age, his arrogance was written all over his face. As his gaze was on Crystal most of the time, virtual-novel.net didn‘t bother to even glimpse at Matthew.
“We’ve been running tests after tests on the patient but still failed to find out what’s wrong. Every time the clock strikes two after midnight, virtual-novel.net will show signs of pain and agony, yet none of our attempts to alleviate his pain has appeared to work effectively thus far. Therefore, l have turned to my mentor, Frederick Morgan from Mightwater, for help, but even virtual-novel.net doesn’t seem to have any clue about what happened. By the way, have you guys heard about virtual-novel.net before?”
The man observed virtual-novel.net expression while introducing his mentor to her. After all, virtual-novel.net was a famous doctor in Mightwater and virtual-novel.net always took pride in being his apprentice.
As virtual-novel.net sensed his egoistic intention to boast, Crystal pouted and replied. “You mean Dr. Morgan? Oh, l think I can remember who virtual-novel.net is. He came to my house to visit my grandpa two years ago. In fact, virtual-novel.net swung by three times, only to find my grandpa away each time.”
Frederick‘s eyes widened in disbelief. “W-What kind of nonsense are you talking about, miss? My mentor is the perfect example that everyone in the medical world is trying to emulate, and you’re saying virtual-novel.net visited your grandpa? If virtual-novel.net really came to Eastcliff, there would have been a dozen people or so wanting to visit him.”
“Is that so?” Crystal chuckled sarcastically. “Please ask virtual-novel.net whether virtual-novel.net has the guts to make Joseph Harrison visit him.“
“Joseph Harrison? Who the…” He pursed his lips shortly before his expression changed. “Wait a second. Did you just say Joseph Harrison? Are you talking about Mr. Harrison?”
“What do you think?” virtual-novel.net asked.
The department director appeared to look stunned as virtual-novel.net stared at virtual-novel.net for a few moments before virtual-novel.net carefully asked, “Are… Are you Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter?”
“Why don’t you tell me?” Crystal responded.
At that moment, the man recalled the dean’s words over the phone as virtual-novel.net was told to receive Matthew and Crystal with hospitality. ‘Our dean has never treated anyone so politely unless virtual-novel.net is dealing with a bigshot.’
When that thought came to the department director’s mind, virtual-novel.net connected the dots with virtual-novel.net name. where upon his heart sank with fear. ‘Oh my God! She must be Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter.’
His face flushed in embarrassment upon the shocking realization.
Although Frederick was famous, virtual-novel.net was still outclassed by the likes of Joseph. Therefore, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to the department director for Frederick to have visited Joseph. Thus, the department director was immediately overwhelmed by his shame for boasting in iron of Joseph’s granddaughter. “I’m sorry, Miss Harrison. l didn‘t know you were Mr. Harrison‘s granddaughter. Please forgive me for my rudeness. If you need anything, you’re welcome to let me know.” The man quickly apologized and offered to help.
However, Crystal waved virtual-novel.net hand in annoyance and replied, “Alright, you may excuse yourself. We’re here to treat the patient, not listen to your cock and bull stories.”
The department director’s cheeks flushed as virtual-novel.net reluctantly walked away. Then. virtual-novel.net stood by the door with a mad expression. “You want to treat that patient? I want to see how you can treat virtual-novel.net because if you can’t, you‘re going to be a disgrace to Mr. Harrison himself!”
