Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 207 Astute And Protective Master Quigley

Before Elder Quigley could say anything. Jonathan Woods spoke first. “Science has no borders? Our country’s two

bomb experts were locked up for a few years after returning to the country, yet you say that there are no borders?

The talents that our country has painstakingly nurtured have turned their backs and taken up citizenship in other

countries. They researched weapons before using them on our people, yet you say that there are no borders?

“Even cats, dogs, and trees are sanctioned. Yet you say there are no borders?

“Miss Raven, may I ask if you are currently a Chanaea citizen?”

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Gwen Raven’s eyes as she said, “I’m a Chanaea citizen myself.”

She held dual nationality. She was a citizen of both Chanaea and Caspardion.

“Will you stay at Chanaea forever? If not, don’t boast about bringing benefits to the people. I’m afraid you won’t be

bringing benefits to the people on our side,” Jonathan retorted bluntly.

This woman bullied his junior Annalise and still had the gall to ask Jonathan’s mentor to accept her as his disciple.

She was really making a fool out of herself.

Moreover, the remedies and medicine in their traditional medicine were so precious. How could they simply pass

such know-how to someone like Gwen Raven who had settled overseas for many years and operated a

pharmaceutical business overseas?

For so many years, proponents of modern medicine had been boasting about how awesome modern medicine was,

but they were secretly sending people to Chanaea to steal the medical knowledge of traditional medicine.

As a result, the current world was caught in a ridiculous, peculiar cycle. The citizens of Chanaea were taking

modern medicine, undergoing surgeries, and receiving radiotherapy and chemotherapy. They gave praise that

modern medicine was fast and effective, but no one cared about traditional medicine.

Many countries on the opposite side of the globe were desperately learning traditional medicine, researching

traditional medicine, and using traditional medicine’s remedies and products to strengthen their own medical

foundations and nurture their origins.

In order to safeguard the medical know-how, the senior practitioners of traditional medicine would rather live with

the infamy of leaving people in the lurch and not saving lives.

Take in someone like Gwen Raven as a disciple? Was she worthy?

Gwen knew that Jonathan was displeased with her because of Annalise Barton, so she was even more pissed off.

She felt that Jane Hiller was right. Jonathan Woods must have had a relationship with Annalise Barton that was far

from innocent. That was why he was desperately speaking up for Annalise and burnishing her with all kinds of

positive attributes.

Gwen could not argue with Jonathan in front of Joseph Quigley. After all, Jonathan was Joseph Quigley’s eldest

disciple.

She smiled and said, “My dear Jonathan, will you stay in Chanaea forever? After all, no one can say for sure. what

will happen in the future, right? Didn’t you also stay overseas for many years? Even if it were a short stint, it must

have been at least 15 years, right? In the past 15 years of being a doctor overseas, you’ve done so many surgeries

every day, treated so many illnesses and saved so many lives. Which side have you brought benefits to?”

“I will stay in Chanaea forever. Of course, it is the citizens of Chanaea whom I bring benefits to,” Jonathan replied

icily.

He would never explain to Gwen why he had stayed abroad for nearly 20 years.

He was under orders from his mentor to study modern medicine overseas and bring the essence of modern

medicine back to his own country.

What was the essence of modern medicine?

Was it really just modern medicinal products, surgery, and radiotherapy or chemotherapy?

Of course not!

There were also the overseas citizens’ physiques, living habits, and eating habits.

Why were they able to consume meat on a long-term basis without ending up with serious cardiovascular and

cerebrovascular problems? Many people there were obese but could still live to 80 or 90 years old, while the people

of Chanaea who ate too much meat immediately faced cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems.

All of this should be the focus of research by traditional medicine practitioners. The motto of traditional medicine

was to solve the problem at its root.

Regarding cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems, traditional medicine practitioners should be studying how

to improve blood circulation and reduce blood stasis. From there, they should come up with an effective remedy for

thrombosis instead of blindly using supporting medical props.

When Gwen heard Jonathan’s words, she smiled at Joseph and said, “Old Old Mr. Quigley, I’ll also stay in Chanaea

for a long time. I will only go overseas to learn.”

Hmph!

Gwen would state her stance and get Joseph to take her under his wing first. She would think about the rest of the

matters in the future.

Jonathan was afraid that his mentor would really accept Gwen as his disciple on account of his mentor’s old friend.

He said, “Master Quigley, Anna…”

Joseph did not wait for Jonathan to finish. He smiled and said to Gwen, “I swore not to take in any more. disciples

more than ten years ago. I’m sorry. Er, is that long-nosed man waiting for you?”

Gwen immediately looked over and saw Leo looking at her with a displeased expression.

“You better go quickly. I can see he’s quite angry. If you know a little traditional medicine, you can give him a

prescription to reduce his inner body heat. Go quickly, go quickly.” Joseph had a delighted expression on his face

even though he was chasing Gwen away.

“Alright, Old Mr. Quigley. We’ll talk again when you’re free,” Gwen said immediately.

She understood then that with Jonathan Woods around, it was impossible for her to become Master Quigley’s

disciple.

Joseph Quigley would be at Jadeborough today and tomorrow. Gwen would ask around to find out which. hotel he

was staying at and look for an opportunity to visit him.

Now, she had to pacify Leo first.

Leo was her mentor, and he had a lot of medical resources.

For example, Gwen obtained the title of the Second International Surgeon and some other famous global awards

because Leo helped her fight for them.

“Dr. Leo,” she called out politely to Leo.

Disgruntled, Leo asked, “What took you so long?”

“It’s nothing. We were just chatting.” Gwen answered with a smile.

“Was it because I did not teach well and you wanted to change mentors?” Leo was even more displeased when he

saw Gwen being dishonest. Did she think that he didn’t understand the native tongue of Chanaea?

“It’s not that, Dr. Leo. This way, please.” Gwen immediately brought Leo to a corner.

She looked around and said in a low voice, “Dr. Leo, Joseph Quigley is the most accomplished traditional medicine

practitioner in Chanaea. The Energizing Pill you’re particularly interested in most likely came from him. Therefore, I

want to use the opportunity of becoming his disciple to get close to him and obtain the pill’s formula. You know that

such things can’t be reverse-engineered even with instruments.”

Upon hearing this, Leo’s eyes lit up. “Were you really thinking of doing that?”

“Yes.” Gwen nodded.

“Okay. I’ll give you my full support and cooperation,” Leo said.

“Thank you, Dr. Leo.” With Leo’s reassurance, Gwen was relieved.

Meanwhile, Joseph strolled with his hands behind his back in the conference venue alongside Jonathan. He asked

Jonathan, “What did you want to tell me just now?”

“I wanted to tell you that Gwen Raven bullied our Anna. You can’t accept that woman as your disciple,” Jonathan

said.

Joseph’s eyes flashed with vigor as he continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back. “I’m not blind yet.

How could I not have seen the huge commotion on your side just now? Notwithstanding the fact that she bullied

Anna, even if she had not, do you think, Joseph Quigley, have such low standards that I will simply take anyone

under my wing? With the mercenary character of her grandfather, what kind of decent descendant can he possibly

produce?”

Joseph had always believed in the saying, “Like father, like son.” While exemplary parents could beget exemplary

offspring, likewise bad parents could only beget ill-bred descendants. Therefore, whenever he evaluated a person,

he liked to analyze that person’s elders. He had always felt that if the elders were well-educated and reasonable,

kind and charitable, the offspring would likely take after them. Similarly, if the elders were selfish and self-serving,

the offspring would probably not turn out well either.

Although there were times when such judgments turned out wrong, the probability was high that this rule held true.

“Then why did you interrupt me just now?” Jonathan was puzzled.

Joseph said, “She bullied Anna simply because she was conceited after learning a few days’ worth of medical

knowledge, correct?”

Although he was 85 years old, Joseph still had sharp ears and eyes. When he looked over just now, he heard Gwen

rambling about how it was not possible to affix the suction cups firmly on the legs during cupping therapy, and that

the patient had to be sent to the hospital for a gastric lavage procedure quickly without delay.

Joseph Quigley’s most accomplished disciple was looked down upon and her ability was called into question.

Shouldn’t he find a way to restore his pride?

Therefore, he could not let Jonathan reveal Anna’s identity before he gave Gwen a brutal rebuff to restore his pride.
