The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Is It That Simple?_1

”Is it really that simple?”

Ford Howell widened his eyes in disbelief.

Many experts and scholars couldn’t find the cause, even Reed Nixon of the Tian Sheng Sect was at his wits’ end, yet Carson Flores seemed to handle it with such ease?

Treating for roundworms?

Carson Flores smiled and said, ”It is indeed difficult to act without knowing the cause, but once the cause is found, it’s just a matter of prescribing the right remedy. Treating an illness can sometimes be very complex, but at other times, it can actually be quite simple.”

Carson Flores walked to the desk, picked up a pen, and quickly wrote out a prescription, as well as detailed instructions for decocting the medicine, making everything clear.

After Carson Flores finished writing, Reed Nixon tentatively asked, ”Mr. Flores, may I take a look at the prescription... to learn?”

Carson Flores generously handed over the prescription to Reed Nixon, saying offhandedly with a smile, ”Share and exchange.”

Reed Nixon took the prescription and carefully read through it, then pointed to one of the herbs, ”The primary drug should be this one, right?”

Carson Flores nodded, ”Correct, this drug is key to knock out the Blood Corpse Worm, but it has a hot nature. It must be tempered with other herbs to reduce its potency, making it milder. Simply put, to the Blood Corpse Worm, this is a poison, but we need to neutralize the various discomforts it could cause after entering the body, leaving it dazed and confused.”

Reed Nixon nodded and handed the prescription to Ford Howell, ”Although I don’t know how effective this medicine will be against the Blood Corpse Worm, the combination of drugs is extremely ingenious. Mr. Flores, you are a master!”

When Ford Howell heard Reed Nixon’s words, his eyes lit up, and his heart immediately settled.

”Mr. Flores, I’ll have someone prepare and decoct the medicine right away, but since we are completely unfamiliar with it, may I ask you to stay a bit longer to guide the medication?”

Carson Flores knew what Ford Howell implied, on the one hand, there was indeed concern, as taking the medicine could have reactions – who could bear the consequences if something like intestinal perforation occurred? Therefore, he hoped Carson Flores would be present to oversee the process. On the other hand, it was also a sign that they still didn’t fully trust what Carson Flores had said, so if something went wrong, they had someone to turn to.

”Sure, I have nothing else to do; I’ll stay here.”

Ford Howell cupped his hands towards Carson Flores and said, ”Thank you for your efforts, Mr. Flores. Once this is over, the Howell family will surely repay you.”

Carson Flores smiled and replied, ”No need to be polite. Leonard is my friend, and since he has entrusted this to me, I naturally need to do a good job.”

Carson Flores redirected the favor back to Leonard Reid, after all, his presence here was indeed because of Leonard.

”We certainly won’t forget Mr. Reid’s enthusiasm either.”

Ford Howell ordered his people to prepare and decoct the medicine, which was then brought to the patient’s room. Ford Howell helped Jaiden Howell take the medicine.

Everything developed as Carson Flores had said, all going smoothly.

In three days, all the Blood Corpse Worms had been expelled. With no Blood Corpse Worms sucking away Jaiden Howell’s Qi and nourishment, a healthy color had returned to his hollow-cheeked face after three days of dietary treatment.

The Blood Corpse Worm was taken for research by expert doctors. Carson Flores didn’t know the result, nor did he care, as the Howell family was elated.

Jaiden Howell was saved.

”There truly are people beyond people, and skies beyond skies. Today has really been an eye-opener!”

Reed Nixon, filled with admiration, apologized to Carson Flores, ”Mr. Flores, I’m sorry, I apologize for my behavior. Seeing your youth, I prematurely judged you as a fraud and treated you badly. Please forgive my ignorance and shallowness.”

Carson Flores laughed and said, ”Mr. Nixon, you are too kind. It just so happens that I had seen this condition before; otherwise, I would have been just as clueless. It’s like missing the forest for the trees.”

Reed Nixon sighed, ”Not only is Mr. Flores’ medical skill astonishing, but his magnanimity exceeds mine by far!”

Sighing, Reed Nixon departed, and Ford Howell quickly saw him out.

Three days of rest did much to restore Jaiden Howell’s energy, and he was no longer in that weakened state.

”Mr. Flores, we truly owe you for this. Otherwise, I, an old man, might have been done in by those little bugs, sucked dry by them.”

Carson Flores said with a smile, ”Mr. Howell, you are generous and kindhearted. Even if I weren’t considering Leonard’s request, if I knew about this, I would still have done my utmost to cure you. A person like you deserves a long and prosperous life.”

After pausing, Carson Flores stood up and added, ”Mr. Howell, what’s left is to replenish your vital energy and nurture your body. I’ll take my leave now. If you encounter any problems, feel free to call me anytime.”

After saying goodbye to Jaiden Howell, Leonard Reid and Carson Flores left the hospital side by side.

”You’re truly amazing. There’s nothing you can’t handle. Even those from Tian Sheng Sect are helpless, yet you fix things with ease. I’m seriously starting to believe your medical skills are unparalleled in this world...”

Carson Flores chuckled and said, ”Go on, heap on the praise, I love hearing you praise me!”

Leonard Reid laughed and replied, ”You’ve saved the elder, so I’ve repaid the guidance and help he gave me years ago. Now I owe you far too much. Tell me what you want, and I’ll see if I can make it happen. At least let me pay back some interest first, otherwise, this favor might crush me in the future...”
