Chapter 35 - Concoction
Lin Li did not budge under the oppression of such strong anger; the words he uttered were not at all polite. “Why? Starting a fight because you can’t outspeak me? You couldn’t even find out the cause of Mr McGrenn’s illness, yet you had the audacity to say you’ll be responsible for his treatment. What do you think this is? This is not just any beast, it’s a human life! Have you ever thought what you will do if I’m chased out by you and you couldn’t cure Mr McGrenn? I really don’t know how your teacher has taught you, treating someone’s life as a joke. How are you not a quack?”
“I—”
The killing intent coming from the redheaded beauty subsided slightly, but her pretty face was flushed. She wanted to defend herself, but was rudely interrupted by Lin Li.
“What I? Are you going to say you’ll find a way for sure? Alright, alright. I’ll take it as saying you’ll come up with a way sooner or later. But please open your eyes, look closely at Mr McGrenn’s condition now, and think if he has the time to wait till you’ve found a solution!”
What Lin Li hated most in his life was quack doctors ruining the life of someone. If it hadn’t been for a darned quack, his father would not have been left with a lifelong disability. Although his father had escaped death, pain and disgust for quacks were deeply engraved in Lin Li’s heart, and could not be erased no matter what. When he was questioning the redheaded beauty, Lin Li had unconsciously taken her as the darned quack.
“It was your ridiculous doubt that nearly caused Mr McGrenn to lose his life. What do you treat yourself as, and what do you treat your patients as? You say you’re not a quack; then what are you, a killer?” By the end, Lin Li was livid, and his tone was filled with endless resentment. It was as if the one standing in front of him was not a charming beauty, but the quack who had crippled his father for life.
The words were so serious that the redheaded beauty wavered because of them.
The alternate identity of the young mage came to her mind, and Rowling’s fine eyebrows were knitted once more…
