“Haha, what a coincidence, my daughter-in-law just educated me about hypochondria today, and here comes such a case tonight.”
Seeing the worried look in the Baron’s eyes, Mario Yuno patted his shoulder, “Don’t worry, my daughter-in-law specializes in all kinds of psychological issues, she’s an expert.”
This type of case was a piece of cake for Kiara, so Mario Yuno wasn’t worried at all.
However, when the Baron heard that Kiara was an expert, far from feeling relieved, he became even more burdened with worry.
As Mario Yuno had expected, Kiara’s treatment went incredibly smoothly.
Old Father Jackson was suffering from hypochondria, mixed with a tendency for anxiety. His family was very filial, and although he was over 80 years old, they still made every effort to seek treatment, having consulted several Psychiatry Department experts, all of whom said the problem wasn’t serious.
But not a single doctor could treat him, because every time Old Father Jackson saw a doctor, he claimed they were there to harm him, chasing them away with insults and even violence, simply refusing treatment.
The problem wasn’t serious, but with a patient who refused to cooperate, there was no way to treat it, leaving the Lee Clan no choice but to keep searching for someone. It so happened that Tiara Stone’s father mentioned Kiara at one point, describing his daughter’s sworn friend as a top private psychologist in the Domestic Region, who could handle any difficult and complex cases with ease.
Last time the Stone Family was in trouble, Kiara had moved mountains to bail out Tiara Stone. Although in the critical moment Mr. Stone had returned and they didn’t end up using Kiara’s money, the benefactor’s family always remembered the favor. Naturally, they recommended Kiara enthusiastically for such a lucrative medical record.
Kiara was merely a Psychologist with the most basic certification, but her ability to charge such high fees in the circles was all thanks to the relentless publicity of her powerful friends, whether it was Zoel Cohen, Tiara Stone, or Susi. These were financial powerhouses dominating their respective fields, so their words carried weight.
Take Mr. Russel’s house’s case, for example. It really wasn’t a big deal–if they had gone to a public Psychiatry Department, it could’ve been cured for just a couple of hundred, or maybe eight hundred at most.
However, in Kiara’s hands, the other party’s opening rate was 20,000 per hour, with an additional clause: If she could cure Old Father Jackson, they would add another 200,000.
In recent years, wages had risen somewhat, with ordinary workers earning about 800 plus, so the substantial sum offered by the other party was not only because they were desperate to get treatment for the elder, willing to spend a lot of money but also because, although Old Master Li Brown’s condition wasn’t serious, the stubborn old man refused to cooperate with any doctor. If Kiara could succeed, she would be the sole remedy, so no amount of money would be too much.
They had expected Old Master Li Brown to act as he had before, chasing the doctor out with insults and violence, but to their surprise, as soon as he saw Kiara, his wrinkled face broke into a bashful, youthful coquettishness, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Kiara had a brief chat with him, and he answered everything she asked. Kiara thought to herself that the old man was quite nice, which was completely different from the uncooperative reputation he had.
The Lee Clan was surprised to see this, but finally having a doctor who could make the Old Man heed was a great thing, so they promptly cleared a space for Kiara to treat him.
After Kiara finished her first session of treatment, Old Master Li Brown personally walked her to the door, repeatedly requesting that she come again the next day.
The Lee Clan found it very strange.
After Kiara left, Aurora Lady Dell finally asked Old Father Jackson.
“Dad, why are you so nice to this doctor?”
Initially, Old Father Jackson was reluctant to talk, but after being pressed by his daughter-in-law, he revealed the true situation.
“She looks especially like my first love.”
The daughter-in-law, seeing an eighty-something-year-old man show such a bashful expression, wanted to laugh but didn’t dare, and could only agree and cajole the old man.
“Well, that’s great, it’s fate. You must cooperate with Dr. Clark, okay, Dad?”
When the old man’s son came back, he had a bewildered expression upon hearing from Aurora Dell about the incident.
“Dad said that woman resembles his first love?!”
“Yes, that’s what Old Father Jackson said. I think Dr. Clark looks quite unique, she might really resemble her.”
Chairman Li Brown showed a bitter-sweet expression, “If she resembles her, then that’s the real shock. Do you know what Dad’s first love looks like?”
Aurora Dell shook her head. What daughter-in-law would dare to pry into her father-in-law’s past?
“Wait a moment, I remember you looking at a newspaper yesterday that had a photo resembling that woman. Let me find it…” Chairman Li Brown rummaged through a fashion magazine from the bookshelf, casually flipped open a page, and handed it to his daughter-in-law to have a look.
Aurora Dell was speechless at a glance.
“This, this, this is too different from Dr. Clark’s appearance, isn’t it? What on earth is dad’s vision?”
The page that Chairman Li Brown opened was an advertisement, featuring a plump woman for a weight loss institution; her body was like a meat shell with at least nine layers, visually weighing over 300 pounds, appearing quite ferocious.
How could she look anything like the slender and poised Dr. Clark?
“Could our father be…getting muddled?” Aurora Dell said, looking at the photo with a headache.
Chairman Li Brown agreed, “It does seem like he’s muddled, insisting they resemble each other when they clearly do not. But if it’s about saying dad is truly muddled, the thing he holds in his hand–he refuses to let go of it, really is…”
Hearing Chairman Li Brown refer to “the thing,” Aurora Dell also sighed.
“Now we can only hope that Dr. Clark cures Old Father Jackson quickly and he hands over the item. This dragging on is really not good.”
“This Dr. Clark seems very young? I heard from Tony Stone that she seems to be quite a youthful person.” After going through so many doctors with ineffective treatments, Chairman Li Brown did not hold much hope for Kiara.
“She may be young, but I see her work as very reliable, and she speaks in a very appropriate manner; she seems quite capable.”
“Find a time to talk to her, tell her to treat Old Father Jackson promptly. We are already pressed for time here. If necessary, we’ll offer her more money, an additional 100 or 200 thousand, to get things done quickly.”
Chairman Li Brown, thinking of the concerns weighing on him, couldn’t help but repeat his instructions.
Aurora Dell nodded in agreement, preparing to find a chance to talk to Kiara alone.
As Kiara left the Lee Clan’s home, she saw Mario Yuno’s car waiting for her outside. To her surprise, besides Camden and his Green Tea Hound Clan, there was also a strange man sitting in the car.
Even though he was sitting, she could still sense that the man had long legs and a tall stature, with a robust build.
Despite it being winter, this man wore a light jacket, seemingly unbothered by the cold, with hints of his solid muscles visible.
However, the most striking feature was the man’s profile, which clearly indicated foreign ancestry, not a typical appearance from our Domestic Region.
“Darling, this is the shooting talent I told you about, the one who’s even better than me, his name is Baron,” Mario Yuno introduced Kiara and Baron.
“Baron, this is my wife, beautiful, isn’t she~”
