Chapter 472: Unforgivable
While Olivia was administering acupuncture to the little one, the news had already spread to other rooms.
Many doctors, having heard that Olivia had actually questioned Dennis, were curious. When they also heard that she knew other pain-relieving acupuncture points, they put down their work and gathered around.
As they entered the room and saw Olivia performing acupuncture, although they were skeptical of her skills due to her appearance, they knew not to disturb her during the procedure and quietly observed from the doorway.
Seeing that Olivia’s acupuncture was indeed effective, everyone was amazed.
This method of acupuncture was something they had never heard of before.
However, it was clear to the discerning eye that Olivia’s technique was more traditional than theirs, though its origins were unknown.From NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing Cameron praise Olivia, the crowd couldn’t help but applaud.
Startled by the sudden applause, Olivia turned to see many doctors standing at the door, all appearing much more experienced than she was.
Seeing this, Olivia felt a bit bewildered.
“Is she a student of Mr. Everett? No wonder her medical skills are so good. We’ve learned something new today.”
“Dr. Prescott, if you have time in the future, we would love to exchange more knowledge with you. Your acupuncture technique is very unique.”
“…”
The crowd began to speak, their attitudes shifting from initial skepticism to admiration.
Hearing their compliments, Olivia humbly smiled and said, “Thank you all for thinking so highly of me. I still have much to learn and hope to receive guidance from all of you.”
Earlier, while lining up at the orphanage entrance, many of these people had looked at her with strange eyes.
Olivia had only focused on doing her job well and hadn’t intended to prove anything to them.
She hadn’t expected such a turn of events that would change their perception of her.
Seeing her so young and beautiful, yet highly skilled and humble, the crowd’s admiration for her grew even more.
The atmosphere in the room became very harmonious.
Dennis stood on one side with an unpleasant expression, looking somewhat out of place.
Suddenly, someone brought up Dennis in the conversation, “Dr. Dennis, given your impulsive behavior earlier, shouldn’t you apologize to Dr. Prescott and the child?”
For a moment, everyone’s gaze fell on Dennis simultaneously.
Indeed, Dennis was considered top-notch among mid-generation Chinese medicine practitioners in the country, but he was also famously arrogant.
Some present had long been dissatisfied with him and seized this opportunity to question him.
Feeling the unusual stares around him, Dennis felt as if he were being roasted over a fire. He turned stiffly to look at Olivia.
He admitted his actions earlier were somewhat inappropriate, but apologizing to a much less experienced young doctor in front of so many people was too humiliating for him.
Sensing Dennis’s gaze, Olivia hesitated but ultimately remained silent.
Her sole focus was to complete this medical mission successfully.
Considering the Hargraves family’s mission’s original intent and her purpose for participating in this mission, Olivia didn’t want any unpleasant incidents at the site.
Although she didn’t intend to hold Dennis’s earlier doubts against him, now that someone had brought it up, Olivia couldn’t help but think about how Dennis’s personal emotions nearly caused the child lifelong paralysis.
She could let it go for herself, but she couldn’t forgive on behalf of the child.
