After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 127 - 124: Big Shot Certification, Her Medical Skills Are Worth Millions
Chapter 127: Chapter 124: Big Shot Certification, Her Medical Skills Are Worth Millions
Amelia Willow couldn’t help but take pleasure in her mother loudly condemning Emily Parker.
She deliberately brought up Emily Parker at mealtime, and sure enough, Grace Willow couldn’t sit still.
Seeing Emily Parker standing there "dare not to utter a single word," Maria Carter was so angry that she kept stamping her feet.
Now that the police had been alerted, how could Emily Parker continue to run a clinic here?
Witnessing the situation turning unfavorable, Maria Carter quickly took out her cellphone and made a call.
Several police officers, upon hearing Grace Willow’s accusations, demanded Emily Parker and Abigail Long turn over the clinic’s account books for verification of the relevant matters.
"Everyone please disperse.
This clinic has some issues and needs to be suspended for reorganization."
The police officers persuaded some of the elderly who hadn’t left to go.
Most of these elderly were from nearby retirement homes; many had been referred by Old Lady Pond.
Hearing that the small clinic had to suspend for reorganization, those elderly patients panicked,
"Officer, you must be mistaken."
"We all came to Doctor Clark voluntarily for treatment, and Doctor Clark didn’t defraud us."
"Doctor Clark is a skilled doctor; my chronic leg pain from years past was cured with her acupuncture. You must not wrongfully accuse a good person."
"Even if you are police officers, you should still listen to the public’s opinion.
What’s your badge number? I want to complain."
The elderly were agitatedly surrounding the police officers, unwilling to let them inspect the account books.
The policemen, cornered by the elders, were at their wits’ end.
One of them lowered their voice and said to a fellow officer,
"These elderly are not ordinary people; the one who just mentioned making a complaint was a recently retired deputy director from the district police station."
"The one on the right is a retired senior leader from the courthouse."
"And the one who just tried to hit us with his cane seems to be a retired official from the education bureau."
No wonder the elderly were so agitated.
As they grew older, they did not want to be a burden to their children and thus moved to retirement homes.
Old Lady Pond mentioned that the Sunshine Clinic’s Doctor Parker was a miracle worker; they came by reputation and after several acupuncture sessions with Emily Parker, many of their chronic ailments had significantly improved.
Doctor Parker and First Madam Long were both kind-hearted, and their medical skills were superb. They even chatted with the elderly, who all felt that the doctors here were beautiful inside and out.
Such a good doctor being slandered as a fraud!
In their agitation, some elderly even started to push and shove.
Grace Willow, pushed by the excited elderly, was shoved out and fell to the ground. She didn’t even know who stepped on her twice if it hadn’t been Amelia Willow and Charles Pond coming forward to pull her up.
"Everyone, please calm down.
The clinic will not close."
Emily Parker, fearing the elderly might get hurt, finally managed to rescue the police officers from the crowd of elders.
"Senior Sister Long, hand the account books over to the police."
Emily Parker asked Abigail Long to take out the clinic’s account books.
Upon hearing this, Abigail Long became anxious.
The medical fees charged by Emily Parker were not low; she had even charged some patients up to one hundred thousand yuan per session.
Although Emily Parker’s acupuncture was a family heirloom and beyond valuation, laymen simply wouldn’t understand, and its value was difficult to assess.
If the police officers took the account books for investigation, they might indeed suspect that Emily Parker was committing fraud.
"Officer, I can also testify.
Emily Parker, she is a fraud.
My grandma came here before and was charged one hundred thousand yuan for one acupuncture session by her.
Here is the transfer record of my grandma’s payment at that time."
Seeing that the situation was ripe, Amelia Willow whispered to Charles Pond, and he stood out too.
He scrolled through his phone and showed a photo to the police officers.
"Charles Pond, have you no shame.
Emily Parker, she saved Grandma Pond.
Are the Ponds going bankrupt, fussing over that one hundred thousand?
Have you forgotten, over the years, how much has Grandma Pond spent on medical treatments?"
Maria Carter was so angry she was grinding her teeth; she checked her phone again—why hasn’t anyone arrived yet?
"Both of you, if this is true, please hand over the account book." Upon hearing this, the police officers wanted to take Emily Parker and Abigail Long back to the station immediately.
Abigail Long had no choice but to take out the account book.
The police inspected the account book on the spot and indeed found several records of large medical fees.
"See, nothing to say now, right?
Officer, quickly take her back to face the law."
Grace Willow gloated.
"Hold on, I can prove that her acupuncture skills are worth the price."
Just then, an elderly man dressed in Tai Chi attire emerged.
"Hey, where did this confused old man come from? You say it’s worth the price and so it is, it’s up to the police officer to decide."
Grace Willow looked at the elderly man with disdain.
"Master Lowe? Why have you come?"
As soon as Grace Willow finished speaking, Charles Pond was no longer able to stand still.
He looked at the elderly man with a face full of astonishment.
The old man had already been in the crowd for quite a while.
It’s just that he hadn’t understood the situation before, so he didn’t speak up. Now seeing that the police were about to pursue Emily Parker seriously, the old man stepped forward.
"Are you that Master Lowe who appeared on TV?
The one who especially treats the elderly leaders?"
In the crowd, many people, including several police officers, also recognized the old man’s identity.
Indeed, the old man was Master Lowe, whom the Pond Family had hired to treat Old Lady Pond.
Both Emily Parker and Senior Sister Long were somewhat surprised; Master Lowe had actually been around not just today; this was after Grandma Pond was cured here last time.
Master Lowe went home and thought about it, and the more he thought, the more he felt something was off.
During the following few days, he would quietly come to Sunshine Clinic, not to seek treatment but to blend into the crowd and observe Emily Parker’s acupuncture several times.
After observing a few times, Master Lowe completely dismissed his doubts.
Master Lowe nodded towards Emily Parker with a pleased expression.
"This young friend’s acupuncture skills are very brilliant; I can attest that five thousand per session is not at all expensive.
If it’s for lifesaving, let alone one hundred thousand, even charging one million would be more than sufficient."
Master Lowe’s words truly caused a great uproar.
The surrounding elderly folks instantly caused a stir.
They were excited; Master Lowe had retired for many years and had stopped treating the public.
For such a medical community giant to personally endorse Doctor Parker’s medical skills was something ordinary people could not access, but he had done just that.
The elderly felt they had hit the jackpot!
Unacceptable, they needed to come and queue up for appointments tomorrow.
Grace Willow and her daughter were dumbfounded, especially Grace Willow with her mouth wide open, big enough to swallow an egg.
"Amelia, did mom hear wrong?
Did that old man say Emily Parker’s acupuncture could cost one million per session?"
Grace Willow doubted her own hearing and quietly asked Amelia Willow.
Amelia Willow was at a loss for words too.
Charles Pond was even more red-faced; Master Lowe actually gave such high praise to Emily Parker, could Master Lowe have gotten muddled with age?
"Elder Lowe, why are you here too?"
At this moment, Old Lady Pond also rushed over, having just received a call from Maria Carter, saying that Sunshine Clinic was being inspected by the police, accusing Doctor Parker of being a fraud.
Maria Carter hurried over to the old lady’s side and explained the whole story.
A dark cloud immediately covered Grandma Pond’s face. Without a word, she picked up her walking stick and bam bam bam, gave Charles Pond three hits.
