The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage romance Capítulo 19

There was unwavering confidence all over Frank's face. "That's not all, Mr. Simmons. You would wake up every morning with sore muscles and enfeebled limbs."

Gerald inhaled deeply and looked solemnly at Frank. "How'd you know?"

The brat had yet to examine him in any way—did Vicky tell him about his symptoms earlier?

"It's all written on your face, Mr. Simmons," Frank said flatly.

Geral snorted. "My face? Then tell me, what is my affliction?"

"A coronary artery disease," Frank said bluntly. "If it's a serious case, I estimate that your condition will worsen in three days, so you should seek treatment as soon as possible."

The hall was left quiet for a moment by those words before everyone started laughing out loud.

Vicky narrowed her eyes in turn—did Frank make a mistake? That should not be!

Just then, the head of Riverton's Skyblade Dojo beckoned at Frank and chuckled. "Vicky told you about Mr. Simmons' condition earlier, didn't she? You have the symptoms right, but you never mentioned the cause."

Beside him, Gerald shook his head in disdain. "My kidney's the problem, brat, and you're saying that it's my heart? You're wrong by a country mile, so you really should go back to school!"

Frank worked his mind furiously then—it was clearly a coronary artery disease caused by built-up fatigue. The kidney condition was merely a complication, and if his hunch was right, Gerald had been injured in the lungs before.

The one who had examined him merely checked the surface conditions, not the root cause.

"May I ask who diagnosed you?" Frank asked.

"I did." Dan slowly stood up.

"In that case, you should re-examine Mr. Simmons here," Frank said, showing him some degree of respect since they were fellow men of medicine.

"Hmph." Gerald snorted and stormed off.

The rest filed out as well, leaving just Vicky and Frank in the hall.

It was only then that Vicky asked worriedly, "Frank, was what you said true?"

"Of course," he replied.

Vicky breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."

She offered to introduce Frank to other local bigwigs from Riverton, but Frank was uninterested and excused himself to return to his room.

Meanwhile, the banquet lasted until early morning.
