Chapter 1485Chapter 1485 I Really Have No Time
As the daughter, Gloria failed to fulfill her filial obligations.
Yet, she found herself pulled back to the present moment when she noticed the unusual fluctuations of
the man’s pulse.
“Is there anything wrong with me?” the man asked her with confusion in his eyes.
Gloria nodded, not denying it. “The reason for your faint is that you’ve been poisoned for the past three
years,” she explained.
“Have you experienced chest pains, heart palpitations, chills, or dizziness from time to time in these
three years?”
The man’s eyes narrowed as he realized he had been suspicious of being poisoned recently, but had
found no evidence. He also exhibited the same symptoms that Gloria had just mentioned, so he did not
doubt her diagnosis.
Knowing she was correct, Gloria kindly reminded him, “The person who poisoned you and went
undetected must be someone you trust. Be cautious and pay attention to your diet. You should stop
eating the same food you have been consuming and seek out a reputable doctor for treatment.”
These were the only words of advice she could offer.
After saying that, Gloria stood up and was about to leave.
Her uncle left with Violet, and she had little interest in this party.Besides, after this little episode, she was also in no mood to enjoy the party, so she thought of going
somewhere else.
As she was about to leave, the man stood up, rushed over to her, and blocked her way.
Fearing she would leave, he opened his arms to stop her.
“Miss, you said I should see a good doctor. Can I ask you to cure me? I believe you to be a skilled
physician,” he implored.
Gloria frowned, skeptical of his request.
This man didn’t know her at all. How did he dare to let a stranger treat him?
The people present at the party were not ordinary, and it wouldn’t be difficult for him to find a reputable
doctor. Moreover, his poisoning was not a terminal illness, and many doctors could help detoxify his
body.
There was no need for her to get herself into trouble.
So, she politely declined. “I’m sorry sir, I don’t have time, and there are many others who are
knowledgeable in traditional medicine.”
Gloria thought she had made herself clear enough, but to her surprise, the man persisted.
“Miss, don’t worry. I’ll offer you a handsome reward for your services. You name your price, and I can
afford it no matter the cost.”
Hearing this, Gloria grew annoyed.
“It’s not about the money. I simply don’t want to treat you!” she snapped, annoyed by the man’s
insistence.She had only wanted to do a good deed, but now she found herself inviting trouble.
Despite her refusal, the man still wouldn’t give up.
He believed that Gloria’s quick response and accurate diagnosis of his symptoms indicated her high
medical skills, and he could not allow himself to die from poisoning now.
“Miss, I understand if you have a reason for declining, but I can work with your schedule. Since you
went out of your way to help, could you continue to cure me?” he asked.
Gloria was hesitant.
Normally, she would have agreed without hesitation.
But her circumstances were different now. She was waiting for her uncle and had to investigate matters
concerning her mother with him, so she simply didn’t have the time to attend to others.
Gently shaking her head, she said, “I apologize, it’s not that I don’t want to help. I just don’t have the
time.”
“In that case, could you give me a prescription and your phone number? I’ll wait for you to have time,
alright?” the man persisted.
