After thinking for a moment, George Cooper mentioned the hospital’s single dormitory. In his memory, it seemed that he was assigned one when he first came to the hospital, back when the old man hoped he would start from the basics.

However, as far as he could recall, the hospital’s single dormitory was quite a distance from the hospital itself. Even by taxi, it would cost more than twenty yuan. Henry Brooks felt his pockets—he didn’t have any money at all.

“Henry Brooks... wait a moment...” Kevin Sullivan ran out from inside, panting, and saw that Henry Brooks was still standing at the door, not having left. Kevin Sullivan hurried over to Henry Brooks, out of breath: “How... how did you do it?”

At this moment, Kevin Sullivan looked at Henry Brooks with countless questions, confusion, and puzzlement in her eyes. After Henry Brooks left earlier, Longlong’s parents, desperate for a cure, actually believed what he said. Kevin Sullivan had no choice but to let them try.

The result was quite a shock to her. Although Longlong was still very resistant, he didn’t have any extreme reactions. Even when his mother, with tears streaming down her face, was so emotional she nearly fainted as she rushed to hug him, he only pushed her away with his hands—there was no other violent tendency or reaction.

It was simply a miracle. Kevin Sullivan had seen all of Longlong’s previous medical records and some video footage.

Henry Brooks was straightforward: “Lend me a hundred yuan first, and I’ll tell you right away.”

Henry Brooks, the young master of Changzhi Group, was actually borrowing a hundred yuan from her—did she hear that right? Although his car had been taken away earlier, Kevin Sullivan still didn’t believe he would be short of a hundred yuan, but judging by Henry Brooks’s expression, he didn’t seem to be joking.

Kevin Sullivan took a hundred yuan out of her pocket, hesitantly handed it to Henry Brooks, and wondered what kind of trick he was playing.

“Pop.” Henry Brooks flicked the bill lightly: “I’m saving my life with this hundred yuan, remember that.”

As he spoke, Henry Brooks softly repeated to Kevin Sullivan the words he had just said to Longlong. They sounded like a series of unrelated questions, and two of them even seemed like he was talking to himself, having nothing to do with Longlong at all.

“That’s it?” Kevin Sullivan looked at Henry Brooks in disbelief. He just said those words, and Longlong, who had been diagnosed with a mental illness, changed so much?

Henry Brooks raised his hand and hailed a taxi, got in, and told the driver the address. Seeing the doubt on Kevin Sullivan’s face, Henry Brooks said, “You’re a doctor too, you should know what it means to prescribe the right remedy. You can try saying those words to him a few more times. His condition is relatively mild now, so the effect should be even better. Also, for now, it’s best not to tell anyone about this.”

Kevin Sullivan frowned slightly. Her pure white lab coat and thoughtful frown made her look incredibly attractive in the sunlight. She drew a lot of attention—everyone passing by looked her way.

“Wait...” Kevin Sullivan was momentarily stunned, but Henry Brooks had already gotten into the taxi and left. By the time she tried to stop him, it was too late.

“Damn it...” Not being able to stop Henry Brooks and get a clear answer left her feeling very frustrated. What was even more baffling was whether those words could really work. If they actually did, wouldn’t it be like some kind of spell or magic? But Henry Brooks had indeed pulled it off just now. She really couldn’t figure it out—how had this second-generation rich kid suddenly become a completely different person?

Chapter 7: Taking a Taxi

If it hadn’t been for encountering Slobel’s disorder, Henry Brooks wouldn’t have wasted any extra time, because his top priority now was to strengthen his body.

To get stronger, with his current body, if he didn’t have good supplements, even with his medical skills, it might take a year or two to recover to normal. The technology of this era was so backward, and traditional Chinese medicine was still in its primitive development stage compared to three hundred years later. Western medicine hadn’t even developed repair or recovery serums yet, so there was no point thinking about it. He could only rely on his own secret recipes—but money...

He had thought he could take advantage of being a second-generation rich kid, but now it seemed he’d have to figure out a way to get some money first.

Lost in thought, time passed quickly, and before he knew it, he had arrived. The fare was ten yuan more than Henry Brooks expected, totaling thirty-six yuan. Out of the hundred, only sixty-four yuan was left. The last time Henry Brooks came here, he drove himself, so he didn’t remember ever taking a taxi.

He had only made a rough estimate before, so it wasn’t very accurate. This was a small residential complex with four seven-story buildings, all owned by Changzhi Hospital, specifically for single male and female staff.

Henry Brooks didn’t have a key, so he found someone at the management office downstairs and showed his hospital ID to have them open the door for him.

A forty-five square meter apartment, with one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom, simply furnished, but with all the appliances like a TV and refrigerator. This showed just how well-off Changzhi Group was.

After entering, Henry Brooks immediately started moving around, doing some simple exercises similar to calisthenics.

These were national fitness exercises developed three hundred years later. Every movement was more refined, and doing them in sequence was extremely beneficial for the body. Henry Brooks took two hours just to slowly finish the first section—there were eight sections in total.

In the past, he could do all eight sections quickly in just fifteen minutes, but now, even getting one movement right was very difficult.

After finishing, he was drenched in sweat, but felt much more energetic and physically stronger.

After showering, Henry Brooks took a short nap to recover his energy. In the evening, he received a call from Brian Foster, asking him to come to the hospital.
