Chapter 24 Joseph Called Her To Save Patient

As soon as Annalise said it was an older woman, a smile appeared on Julian’s face. “Okay.”

The way she was anxious to explain to him was like a wife who cared about her husband deeply, afraid that he would misunderstand and become jealous

After peeling another shrimp, he put it onto her plate and asked gently, “Is she important to you?”

“Yes, very important,” Annalise replied.

“Okay, let’s go together tomorrow evening” He wanted to meet the person who was very important to Annalise.

“Sure,” she replied.

“I will accompany you to get your styling done tomorrow afternoon,” Julian added.

Annalise remembered that Madeline asked her to meet at eight o’clock in the evening, so she agreed to it readily. “Okay.”

He then looked at her while peeling shrimps.

“What is it?” she asked.

“What color of gown do you like?” Julian probed.

With fair skin and delicate facial features, she appeared more attractive the longer one looked at her.

Her pair of black, doe-like eyes were bright with a twinkle. As she blinked, her eyelashes would flutter, making her look even more enchanting.

However, her beauty was always overlooked because she dressed plainly in jeans and T-shirts and never wore high heels.

“I’m fine with any color,” Annalise responded.

“How about purple. Do you like it?” Julian asked again.

“A dreamy purple dress would look very beautiful on her,” he thought..

“Yes, I like it,” she said, flashing him a smile.

Her favorite colors were white and purple.

White was clean, whereas purple was dreamy.

“Okay.” Julian had thought about what style of gown to choose for her.

Seeing that he kept peeling shrimps for her, she took two pieces of pork ribs and gave them to him. “You should eat too.”

Elation surged in his heart uncontrollably when he looked at the pork ribs on his plate.

“Okay,” he replied. Smiling warmly, he picked up a piece of the pork rib she gave him and put it into his mouth.

As expected, the food that she dished up for him was more delicious. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Upon noticing the greasy stain on the corner of Annalise’s lips, he took the napkin and gently wiped it off for

her.

Her ears turned red, and she could not help but lower her head.

A strand of hair fell by her ear.

When Julian saw that, he softly tucked the strand of hair behind her ear for her.

However, his hand accidentally touched her ear.

Annalise felt a tingling sensation all over her body, and her temperature rose.

Julian looked at her with a tender gaze and urged, “Let’s eat. We’ll go talk to your uncle about the stocks later.”

“Okay.” Annalise immediately began digging in.

They had just finished their meal when she suddenly received a phone call and had to leave in a hurry

Hearing the urgency in her tone, Julian told her to leave first.

Annalise then drove off in a hurry.

Julian gazed at her figure, his eyes twinkling. It was as though he had a thorough grasp of all the happenings.

“I knew it. She’s more than just a girl who grew up in the countryside,” he thought.

Annalise was driving to the countryside.

That was the place where she grew up, Pond Village.

Even though she was driving at high speed, it still took her more than an hour to get there.

Three of her mentors lived there all year round. They were Joseph Quigley, Dariel Randall, and Cash Cappell.

Back then, she fainted from hunger on the side of a road. It was Joseph who found her at the roadside and brought her home while he was on the way to buy some fish. He did his utmost to take care of her, and she was finally restored to health after a long time.

Afterward, Joseph found out that she had a fantastic memory. All it took was one look for her to remember the uses of the medicinal ingredients. Seeing her talent, he asked her if she would like to study medicine.

Naturally, she agreed to it eagerly. As long as she could survive, she was willing to do anything.

Joseph did not want people to know that he had an apprentice, so he asked her to visit his house once a week.

Thus, she had no choice but to go back and stay with her distant relatives. After enduring a torturous week of scolding and chores, she would go to Joseph’s place and study medicine from him on Tuesdays.

Upon realizing she was a fast learner, he started teaching her acupuncture half a year later.

Annalise had been treating people using acupuncture since she was eight years old.

At the age of ten, Joseph said she was more skilled than many medical school graduates.

Two years later, he told her that there was nothing left for him to teach her.

From then onward, he taught her philosophies.

Joseph taught her that one should hold one’s head up high when in times of difficulty.

One should keep a low profile and respect others when in high places.

At any point, one should learn to stay low-key, be flexible, and not be on parade.

One should not argue with people, even if the other party was wrong.

Also, one should never trust one’s own experience and always believe that anything was possible.

Lastly, one should always be eager to learn new knowledge and try to accept new things.

Therefore, when she was thirteen years old, Joseph sent her abroad to let her study surgery in Caspardion for three years.

To avoid arousing her distant relatives’ suspicions, he visited them in person and told them that he hired her to clean his house and even gave them 300 dollars per month.

Unsurprisingly, they accepted it eagerly, wishing they could be rid of her forever.

Annalise had never been to school before. Despite that, she had completed all primary to higher education. courses at Chanaea before departing for Caspardion at 13 years old.

She had also mastered two foreign languages: Ustranasion and Ferropenean.

Moreover, under Joseph’s recommendation, she was granted an exception to obtain a graduate certificate from Jadeborough Medical University and was now studying for a master’s degree.

The university conferred her guaranteed admission to the master’s degree because of her outstanding attainments in medical skills.

Thus far, she was the second youngest postgraduate at Jadeborough Medical University, and the youngest was said to be only seventeen years old.

Of course, her circumstances were relatively special, as she did not have to attend lectures on campus. When Annalise arrived at Joseph’s house, she did not even have time to take a sip of water. Joseph threw a

white coat onto her and said, “Quick, go and perform acupuncture. You must use Murray’s 49 Needles. I’m too old, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to find the acupoints correctly.”

She immediately put on the white coat and went to the inner room.

A person was lying on the bed, and their breathing was extremely shallow.

At once, she took their pulse and retrieved the needles quickly.

The needles were pierced into the patient’s acupoints instantly.

When using Murray’s 49 Needles, the placement of each needle had to be precise

With the decline of traditional medicine, Murray’s 49 Needles was said to be a unique technique.

From the age of 12, Joseph taught Annalise everything he knew.

However, Murray’s 49 Needles was a relatively difficult technique to learn.

At that time, Joseph taught her in person, explaining the technique to her needle by needle.

As of then, he was getting on in years.

He was not as energetic as before, and his aim was not that good anymore.

After all, he was already 85 years old.

Seeing that Annalise had pierced all 49 needles into the patient’s acupoints, Joseph smiled and said, “Good, good!

His apprentice had surpassed him, which made him feel very satisfied.

Annalise smiled at her mentor, took a moment of respite then immediately began to write the prescription. Afterward, she showed it to Joseph and said, “Mr. Quigley, please take a look at my prescription.” “There’s no need for you to show me the prescription you’ve written. Go and get the medicine,” he chided. His residence occupied an area of more than 5,000 square meters.

He applied for the house from the village after retiring, and the application was speedily approved because. he was a nationally renowned doctor.

Aside from the living unit, a dispensary and the like were also built.

Some fitness equipment was built too, and many flowers and plants were grown in the yard.

However, vegetables were rarely grown. Joseph usually bought them from the villagers.
