Chapter five

"No wonder Mr. Thompson hasn’t been seen by public eyes these days. This is really bad!" Peter wondered inside of him. But he tried his best not to judge, it wasn't his fault after all.

He was keen on making Mr. Thompson well, this time around not really because of money but out of his love for helping people, according to news, Mr. Thompson hasn't been able to rule his company effectively for a while, Lisa has been the acting CEO kept in his place for the meantime. Peter wanted to use this chance well. This was a great privilege.

"A lot of doctors, both foreign and local had been employed to treat him, but none could, some say surgery would be needed while others say it's pre-cancer symptoms. No one says anything positive.

"Oh. So why do you believe in me?" He asked her, curious. Why she believed in him if the expert doctors could not do it.

"Because your wife told me about you, giving me so many cases you've successfully treated for free!" He was a bit down, upon seeing that it was his wife who recommended him to such a great opportunity in his life, should he gain anything great later on in the future, it would be because of her.

This was his chance to compensate himself for the many people he treated in the past who ended up not giving him anything after settling their challenges.

Joel cleared his throat to get his attention. "Tell me, which college of medicine did you attend?" He was still doubting Peter.

"I didn't go to any special college of medicine but even those who went couldn't treat Mr. Thompson's case!" This silenced Joel

The next moment, he felt a warm touch over his shoulders, in the bit of a caress. "Don't worry, no matter the opposition I stand with you." Lisa assured. This gave him joy that at least someone believed in his natural skills.

They weren't done speaking when the door opened and the immediate younger brother of Mr. Thompson walked in, behind him were three huge and revered doctors in the hospital. They could be detected from their stethoscope and the medical report files in their hands.

Lisa's heart wasn't in terms with Shawn right from the beginning, but Joel trusted him so much after his father. She raised her eyes in a sinister way and stared at him as he emerged, the doctors stepping to his side.

"What do you guys want here?" She questioned them.

"Who's this young, tattered man here. I'm sure he must be from the streets. What's such a person doing here?" Shawn barked, staring deadly at Peter.

"Are you insane, are you out of your senses? First of all, why should you respond to my question with a question and why barking at him? You know him from somewhere?" Lisa asked rudely.

Peter couldn't believe that Lisa was actually speaking for him. Someone that he just met today.

"Lisa, why would you talk to our uncle this way?" It could be seen that Joel was angry. He was fuming inside seeing her sister talk to his favorite person like this. What pained him most was that she was defending a poor, broke guy.

"Will you shut your mouth right there, have you forgotten I'm your elder sister!"

"Since when did you start the bossy lifestyle, because of this wretched guy? So sad!" He shrugged his shoulders. Peter stared at him so seriously, wishing he wasn't related to Lisa, he would have replied to him so badly.

"I can't let you bring such a person to treat my brother, who knows of his intention? He might even kill my brother" Shawn said. Peter gasped in shock, withdrawing back at such a statement.

"Excuse me, madam Lisa," one of the doctors who came with Shawn said, trying to get attention from Lisa by stepping forward a bit.

She turned to look at him sternly. "What is it?" She asked.

"Do you know this man personally from somewhere?" He asked courtly.

"No." She replied.

"I'm sorry to say, I was just bothered about the way you have faith in him and because of him you're quarreling who your own uncle." The first doctor laid his accusation.

"What an accusation?" Peter shrugged his shoulders. He saw that Lisa began a quarrel with her uncle as soon as he stepped, it wasn't because of him.

"Madam Lisa," Peter decided to behave formal as others were around. "The treatment ought to be started as soon as possible, delay is dangerous in his case from my own level of assessment."

"Oh right, begin the treatment process!" Lisa gave him her orders.

"I'm a senior doctor who has worked for over thirty years in the hospital. What are the instruments he will be using to handle this treatment or are you using your hands?" The same doctor questioned.

"This is serious?" The second one muttered to himself.

"Well, it's a natural technique I'm going to be applying. But wait, I heard some doctors who were here used all of those medical tools, yet were not able to achieve their goal. Do you still think I need all of those to show my capability?" He asked them with all boldness.

"One word again from any of you and you will be kicked out of this room!" Lisa barked at them, as she was getting angrier. They all kept mute.

"Let me give you a final warning, I wouldn't say anything after this so you wouldn't tell me how senior you are to me," Joel told his sister.

"Should anything happen to Dad, you and especially him would be held responsible!" He pointed his fist at Peter. "As for him, even killing his entire generation would not be enough to repay for my father’s life!" He added, then stormed out of the room.
