The plane touched down, and the people Baron had arranged in advance rushed forward.
Yuan Meng raised her eyebrows and watched as Baron gave them instructions to prepare the accommodation for her.
After a while, Yuan Meng yawned. She tightened her grip on the handle of her suitcase. "Alright, let's go see the patient first."
Seeing Yuan Meng's concern for his father, Baron felt even more grateful.
"Miss Sophia, please follow me."
"This way, please."
With so many polite phrases, Baron's subordinates couldn't help but look at Yuan Meng curiously... Sophia, the renowned Sophia.
Baron arranged for Yuan Meng to sit in the same car with him. Along the way, Baron kept introducing his father's condition.
In general, they had seen many doctors, but there had been no progress at all.
Yuan Meng squinted her eyes, barely holding back the urge to throw the chattering man beside her out of the car.
This was his territory, and this was his car. Yuan Meng kept repeating this in her mind. Her face remained calm, which made Baron admire her even more. She truly deserved to be a medical genius. Other doctors had all shied away after hearing about his father's condition, but she was as calm as if she were listening to ordinary gossip, not even wrinkling her brow.
Baron felt that there was finally hope for his father's condition.
Little did he know that Yuan Meng was constantly giving herself mental hints not to be too irritable, after all, she hadn't received the consultation fee yet.
Baron's house... was extremely large.
Yuan Meng twitched the corner of her mouth when she saw the castle in front of her. Did this Baron have some kind of dream of being royalty? Or did his parents?
Baron began to introduce the place to Yuan Meng as they walked.
It turned out that in the early days, Baron's family had also held a title, but now it had declined almost completely. Most of the family members were in business, and this castle was now just a place to live.
Yuan Meng showed no reaction after hearing this. Rise and fall were inevitable. There was nothing extraordinary about it. She slowly took out a pair of gloves from her bag and put them on. "Where's the patient?"
Her enunciation was clear. Baron came back to his senses and continued to lead the way for Yuan Meng.
Baron had practically moved an ICU into his house.
Even someone as tough as Yuan Meng was silent for a moment when she saw the bedroom, which was better equipped than an operating room.
"Doctor Sophia?" Baron nervously rubbed his palms. He was worried that Doctor Sophia would say that there was nothing she could do at this moment.
Although Baron himself was well aware of his father's condition, many doctors had shaken their heads and said it was hopeless. It was normal for Sophia to say the same.
Just as Baron was about to ask, Yuan Meng came back to her senses. Her face remained calm as ever. "Alright, I understand. I'm going to examine the patient now. You can all leave first."
"What?"
The servants and maids all looked at Baron. They didn't dare to offend the master's family just because of this girl who had suddenly appeared and said just one sentence.
Baron waved his hand and told them all to leave.
He left Yuan Meng alone in this bedroom, which could barely be considered a ward.
Yuan Meng's movements were swift. After a short while, she opened the door.
"Your father's illness could have been cured."
Baron's heart skipped a beat. He nervously looked at Yuan Meng, who was taking off her gloves. "So, do you have a way?"
"Unfortunately, he's too old to withstand the treatment process." Yuan Meng showed a hint of regret as she said this.
It was obvious that she was also sorry for this old man who could have recovered his health.
It was truly the case that time waits for no one.
Baron grabbed his wrist, and his voice trembled uncontrollably. "Doctor Sophia, is there really no hope for my father?"
"I can help you keep your father alive for another two years if you think it's worth it. But his body has really been dragged on for too long."
It had been dragged to the brink.
Yuan Meng didn't say the rest of the sentence, but Baron understood what she meant. He was silent for a long time.
Just when Yuan Meng thought he was probably going to give up, Baron spoke again. "Doctor Sophia, then please do your best to treat him. Keep him alive for as long as possible. I won't blame you if you can't cure him."
Yuan Meng had said everything she needed to say. Seeing that Baron had made up his mind, she didn't say anything more.
As the sky gradually darkened, even Yuan Meng couldn't help but show a hint of exhaustion on her face.
Only then did Baron realize that after such a long journey, he hadn't let Doctor Sophia rest much.
He took a deep breath and politely said, "Doctor Sophia, shall we start the treatment tomorrow? Now, let me arrange for you to rest first?"
Yuan Meng didn't say yes or no. The illness of Baron's father was extremely complicated. Some traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture techniques would be needed.
However, traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture emphasized not inserting needles after noon...
"That's fine."
"This way, Doctor Sophia."
"Wow, honey, you're finally back. I've missed you so much."
A blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman suddenly appeared and interrupted the conversation between Yuan Meng and Baron.
A look of embarrassment flashed across Baron's face, and then he began to introduce this blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman.
"Doctor Sophia, this is Catherine, my fiancée."
"Catherine, this is Doctor Sophia. I invited her to treat my father."
Catherine clung to Baron's arm and sized up this Oriental woman named Sophia. She spoke condescendingly. "Doctor Sophia? Honey, this can't be your new lover that you picked up somewhere, can it? How can there be such a young doctor?"
Moreover, she was a beautiful girl, which made Catherine's alarm bells go off in her mind.
Baron patted Catherine's wrist and said seriously, "Stop talking nonsense, honey. Doctor Sophia is here to treat my father."
Her sickly father?
Catherine was full of distrust. She put her hands on her hips and said to Baron, "Honey, only one of her and me can stay in this house now. Who do you choose?"
Catherine stared fixedly at Baron.
Baron felt extremely helpless. Yuan Meng couldn't help but offer an explanation. "Miss Catherine, I'm just a doctor."
She didn't originally have the obligation to explain herself to others.
It just seemed that causing too much trouble for others wasn't a good thing.
Catherine shook her head like a rattle. She was extremely irritable. "No, I don't believe it. You must also like my Baron, so you came here specifically to steal him from me."
With that, Catherine actually ran out like the female lead in a TV show after throwing a tantrum.
Yuan Meng looked at Baron with a black line on her face. "Well... Baron, why don't you go after her and explain?"
It didn't seem good to let that woman have such a misunderstanding, right?
Just then, a servant came to lead Yuan Meng to the room where she would stay, and she followed along.
