Tit for Tat: Claire's Proof of Medical Skills

Was it because she was exposed by the person she loved that she couldn't bear it psychologically?

Claire Wentworth coughed lightly as if to cover up, then shifted her gaze to Sophie Chevalier's face:

"Can you do acupuncture?"

"No, but I..."

"Do you understand medicine?"

"No, but I..."

"You can neither do acupuncture nor understand medicine. How on earth did you conclude that my actions just now had some other meaning? I was just trying to find the right spot for the acupuncture. Please don't misunderstand, okay?"

Sophie Chevalier didn't believe her at all:

"Are you saying that you understand medicine and acupuncture? Claire Wentworth, I've investigated. You're just a medical student still in college, and you haven't even done an internship yet. Don't pretend to be an expert here!"

"Don't think that just because you have some kind of close relationship with Third Brother, you can increase your chances of staying in The Montfort family. I'm telling you, it's impossible!"

Claire rubbed the acupuncture needle in her hand, silently put it back into the disinfectant, then tidied up the instruments and moved them to the corner.

She turned to Alexandre Montfort and said, "How about this? You two talk first, and I'll come back later?"

Alexandre Montfort stared straight at her:

"Come back later? Let me, a patient, just wait like this?"

"Uh?"

Claire was a bit confused. What was the situation?

Did he mean for her to continue?

Well.

Since Alexandre Montfort had said so, a normal person would naturally understand that all of Claire's actions were permitted by Alexandre Montfort.

But Sophie Chevalier was not an ordinary person.

She seemed to have the ability to automatically filter out the words she didn't want to hear. Seeing Claire bring back those instruments and reach out to pull the blanket on Alexandre Montfort.

Without thinking, she reached out and grabbed an acupuncture needle from the operation tray and stabbed it towards Claire's hand without hesitation.

Of course, Claire didn't want to be stabbed by her.

But if she dodged, the needle would surely stab Alexandre Montfort.

He was already on the verge of death. If Sophie Chevalier stabbed him so recklessly, the consequences...

To prevent such a result, Claire endured the stab without dodging.

The needle pierced the flesh, and Claire gasped in pain.

Immediately, her head also felt dizzy. Claire was shocked and knew that Sophie Chevalier had stabbed a acupoint on her palm.

She quickly pulled out the needle. But her head still became dazed involuntarily.

Claire had to reach out to support the bedside to control her body.

At the same time, Alexandre Montfort's wheelchair suddenly, as if it had eyes, crashed into Sophie Chevalier.

Sophie Chevalier's leg was hit, and she fell to the ground with a slant.

With a wave of Alexandre Montfort's finger, the wheelchair parked neatly against the wall.

Sophie Chevalier looked at him in disbelief: "Third Brother, you hit me for her?"

"I've said that the mistress of this house is her. Didn't you remember?"

Sophie Chevalier's pretty face turned pale, and tears streamed down. Her voice was choked:

"Third Brother, what kind of mistress is she? She's a woman with ulterior motives. She wants to harm you. Don't you understand?"

"Which person who wants to harm me would block that needle for me?"

Sophie Chevalier said aggressively."Third Brother, that needle was meant for her!"

"If she had dodged, the one you stabbed would be me! But she could have dodged, yet she didn't." Alexandre Montfort's face was frosty.

Sophie Chevalier never expected that by trying to hit someone, she actually helped the other person gain credit in front of Third Brother.

Claire, in her daze, couldn't help but praise Alexandre Montfort in her heart:

The backer is reliable!

He's a good person!

At this moment, Leo walked in with a man.

The man was in his fifties, wearing a traditional Chinese tunic suit and carrying a medical kit on his back.

He had an ordinary appearance and a serious expression.

As soon as Sophie Chevalier saw him, she immediately regarded him as a life - saving straw:

"Dr. Laurent, please persuade Third Brother. Tell him this woman wants to harm him."

Dr. Laurent glanced at Claire and then shook his head slightly:

"Young Master Montfort, mastering acupuncture requires at least ten to eight years of hard work. The young mistress is so young. Just having come into contact with acupuncture, she thinks she can cure all diseases with it. This is too childish. But treating diseases is no joke. We must be cautious!"

"How cautious? Like you, Dr. Laurent, being in charge of my body for two years and still making me suffer from the pain of the disease?" Alexandre Montfort said coldly.

Dr. Laurent's expression froze.

He was a well - known traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture expert in the country. Wherever he went, he was greeted with smiling faces.

But in front of Young Master Montfort, he didn't dare to show the slightest arrogance.

"Young Master Montfort, acupuncture is to regulate yin and yang, expel diseases and evil spirits, and dredge the meridians. Ultimately, it's just an auxiliary treatment method."

"Don't believe those exaggerated rumors outside. It's impossible. No matter how well - done acupuncture is, it can't dissolve the formed blood clots..."

"That's because you're incompetent."

Claire, whose dizziness had subsided and regained normal consciousness, suddenly took over the conversation.

Dr. Laurent looked at her unhappily.

Young Master Montfort could confront and scold him, but it didn't mean everyone could do the same.

Especially this young mistress who seemed to have only a half - baked knowledge.

At such a young age, she dared to boast that she could do acupuncture. What did she take acupuncture for?

A quick - learning skill?

"Young Mistress, you're young, and you may have some misunderstandings about acupuncture..."

"I don't have any misunderstandings. Acupuncture has a long history. After thousands of years of evolution, its efficacy has long been obvious. I really don't understand why you, Dr. Laurent, look down on acupuncture so much. Are you a Western medicine doctor?"

Dr. Laurent's face darkened:

"I combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine and have been exploring the field of acupuncture for more than twenty years."

"Since that's the case. Then, when you were doing acupuncture on Young Master Montfort, did you notice anything abnormal?"

"Nothing abnormal. Young Master Montfort's illness is due to a lumbar injury with foreign objects inside. In this situation, acupuncture can only relieve his pain. In fact, since I started doing acupuncture for the young master, his condition has indeed improved compared to before. At least he's no longer tortured by pain to the point of wanting to take painkillers every day."

"So, Dr. Laurent thinks that acupuncture only serves as a painkiller?"

"Young Mistress, I know you're worried about the young master, but medicine is extremely rigorous. If you don't have full confidence, you should maintain sufficient respect."

"We should respect the medical skills, not the experts. In fact, from what you, Dr. Laurent, have said, it can be seen that your understanding of traditional Chinese medicine is too shallow. Acupuncture is not just a painkiller. If your skills are high enough, traditional Chinese medicine is no less effective in preventing and treating diseases."

"Since the young mistress thinks she's the expert, then show us. I also want to see how this so - called traditional Chinese medicine expert treats patients."

"Okay."

Claire didn't back down. She put her hand into the disinfectant to disinfect again, then picked up the acupuncture needle once more.

After finding the position, she stabbed it in resolutely and neatly.

Dr. Laurent looked at the position where she inserted the needle and was slightly surprised. There was no acupoint at this position.

Hehe, it seemed that this young mistress was really a novice.

Did she think that by stabbing randomly like this, as long as there was no problem, she could get away with it?

He just wouldn't let her have her way. Let's see how she would deal with the situation when she found that there was no effect after the acupuncture.

The corner of Dr. Laurent's mouth curled up in disdain.
