Lennox, who was seated in his wheelchair suddenly sprayed out a huge mouthful of blood from his mouth and passed out.
…
A ridiculous drama had finally come to an end with Boris and his cronies leaving in a sorry state. Miranda hastily arranged for Lennox to be placed in the car as they sped off to the hospital. The bystanders dispersed hurriedly as they were afraid that Yolanda would notice them and take revenge on them.
Yolanda glanced at Russell, who had been talking unceasingly, and felt her head throb.
She didn't care to correct his inaccurate Havarian. After she entered the lobby and ushered her guests to have their seats, she pulled Russell to the side.
"Since when have I become your teacher?" Yolanda asked.
"Today!" Russell answered with full confidence. "I want to learn traditional medicine from you."
When Russell was at the Kaufman residence, he had already decided that he wanted to learn from Yolanda, but at that time, Yolanda left in too much of a hurry.
Since then, he had been asking around for Yolanda's whereabouts. Unfortunately, Yolanda wasn't very popular in the medical field in Riverdale, and Russell couldn't reach people like Zach, Vic, and big families like these.
That was why he was only able to learn about Yolanda's whereabouts after being in Riverdale for more than a month.
"If you'd be willing to teach me, I'll do my best to learn." Russell was worried that Yolanda wouldn't teach him, so he added anxiously, "Even if I have to work at Willow Creek Clinic, I'm totally fine with it."
"You're a world-renowned doctor and you're willing to work for me here?"
"Yes! As long as I can learn more medical skills, I'm willing to work for you." Russell nodded solemnly.
"Then you'll have to first learn the basic principles of traditional medicine, and master them. Once you've done that, then you would be allowed to have a feel of acupuncture."
Traditional medicine was a league on its own. For Russell, who was only familiar with modern medicine, unlearning concepts and adapting from modern medicinal approaches would be something that would cause severe confusion for him. His learning journey would also be a lot harder since he wasn't fluent in Havarian.
Russell was able to be a world-renowned doctor because he got popular pretty early. There were many other people with way better medicinal skills than he had now. Even with Yolanda's medicinal skills that were above his, he couldn't guarantee that she could place in the top three.
However, according to the reference he had of previous year's contenders, there was a good chance that Yolanda could place in the top ten.
"It's set then. I'll submit my recommendation slot."
Russell was afraid that Yolanda would reject him, so he quickly concluded the conversation.
"You won't be absent then, right?"
"Sure, I'll go take a look." Yolanda lowered her head and glanced at the invitation card in her hand.
World Physician Championship. How nostalgic.
