"... Senior?"
Everyone now had their mouths wide open. The mighty master, Joshua Jenkinson... Did he really call that poor fellow his senior?!
Although Naomi was a little surprised, the most astonished were those from the Legh family.
"Goodbye. I just came here today to borrow your place for a while, ” Gerald said resignedly. Although he wasn't sure if he should let Joshua call him his senior, it was too late for Joshua to retract his title.
"With all means, please use my facility as you wish, senior!" joshua answered with great respect in his voice.
When Gerald, Naomi, and her mother moved in, those from the Westley family could only look at each other in dismay, much to their surprise.
As the old man thought, the young man was truly extraordinary.
About half an hour later, Naomi anxiously paced outside the guest room door. He had been sweating profusely ever since Gerald and Joshua entered the room with his mother.
“Huh! I cannot convince myself that the person really knows how to treat the disease!” furious Quest while crossing his arms.
Besides Naomi, the three Westleys were also waiting behind her.
Quest's dissatisfaction clearly looked like daylight. After all, not only was he humiliated by Gerald in terms of strength, but as it turned out, Gerald was also adept at treating others!
Since he was used to being arrogant and ruthless, the shame he suffered today undoubtedly made his pride fall apart.
"Shut up!" master Westley said coldly in response.
Bob simply assumed that Gerald was being rude when he was previously told that Mr. Jenkinson would not be able to cure his illness.
However, from the moment he heard Master Jenkinson call Gerald his senior, Bob Westley began to fear that what Gerald was saying was true. That even Mr. Jenkinson wouldn't be able to help heal her.
It was because of that fear that Bob waited respectfully for Gerald outside the guest room.
As Gerald stepped out, Naomi immediately rushed up to him before asking in an anxious voice, “How is my mother, Gerald?”
“Thankful... By the way, when did you learn how to treat the disease?” asked Naomi, both happy and surprised. After all, Gerald who was currently standing before him felt almost foreign compared to the one he used to know.
“The story is long. I'll explain it to you if there's a chance for me to do it in the future. For now, go inside and see your mother, ” replied Gerald.
As soon as he said that, Joshua himself walked out of the room with a bag of needles in hand. From the looks of it, it was clear that Gerald was the lead physician this time around. At most, Joshua would have only helped him throughout the half-hour period.
"Senior, help!" joshua said respectfully as he handed the needle bag to Gerald.
Looking back at Joshua, Gerald could only sigh inwardly.
It was about five months ago when he first met Joshua. At the time, Finnley was still busy teaching Gerald all his medical and martial arts skills.
The old man had even given Gerald a medical book, and Gerald was told to memorize all the contents. Since he was very good at learning, it was not difficult for Gerald to fully grasp the concepts in the book.
In fact, it only took him a month to remember the contents of the medical book by heart. However, even though his theory was strong, his actual skill in handling medicines was still far from perfect at the time.
Joshua first appeared at the time.
From the way Joshua begged Finnley to accept it again, it seemed like the old man had taught Joshua medical knowledge in the past.
It was clear that he only wanted to deepen his knowledge and skills, and he was extremely persistent. After kneeling outside Finnley's house all day and night, the old man couldn't bear to see him like that.
As a result, he had Gerald teach Joshua some of the contents of the medical book. Finnley hopes that by doing so, Gerald himself will be able to master basic application skills.
While he allowed Gerald to educate Joshua for about a month, Finnley himself never accepted Joshua as his student. Because of this, Joshua used to call Gerald his senior despite Gerald banning him.
"Trs. Crawford! Mr Jenkinson! You two have worked hard!” bob said respectfully as he approached the two men.
“I'm sure you've heard from my senior before but just to clarify, I know your illness, Master Westley. Even so, I have to admit that I am really unable to heal you, ” Joshua replied with some embarrassment.
