Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

The first call from the servant, Astrid hung up directly, turning her head to inquire with the doctor with concern. “Claude. how is my son’s condition? What are the chances of recovery? 

Claude was a well–known orthopedic expert in the country. He could tell how to treat many bone diseases at a glance, and could even accurately judge how many days the patient would be well. 

But looking at Ulric’s CT report, he was silent and frowned, and after a while, he said with a puzzled tone. “It shouldn’t be 

Astrid suddenly became nervous. 

“What shouldn’t it be? Is it my son’s leg… Astrid said, and her face began to turn pale. 

Ulric was more patient, patted Astrid on the shoulder, and said. Don’t be nervous. Wait for Claude to finish reading the 

report,” 

“Okay,” Astrid nodded nervously 

The matter of the legs being disabled was her idea. If it really made her son disabled for life, she would never forgive herself in this life. 

Claude was also a calm person. After carefully reading all the examination reports, he asked his doubts, “Your situation is not particularly serious. If you started rehabilitation training after the surgery a few years ago, it should be completely fine now. Why do you still need a wheelchair now? 

Astrid heard this, and for a while, she felt a bit guilty. “That’s because, because….. 

“Claude.” Ulric saw that Astrid couldn’t even answer a complete sentence, and directly answered himself, “At first, I thought there was no need for rehabilitation training, so I kept dragging it on, only occasionally doing rehabilitation when I had time, so it dragged on until now. 

“Foolish!” Claude shook his head with great regret and said. “The doctor who operated on you at the beginning is really irresponsible! Doesn’t he understand that if you miss the best recovery period, it will be very difficult to recover later?” 

Ulric coughed lightly and asked, “So, Claude, if I find you to do rehabilitation now, what are the chances of recovery? How long will it take to recover?” 

Claude looked embarrassed “Well…” 

“You can tell me directly. It doesn’t matter. I’ve heard the same words many times these days, and it doesn’t matter to hear it again. My legs, can they really not recover?” 

Claude nodded and shook his head. “It’s not completely impossible. It can only be said that the difficulty is very great, and the chances are very low. 

Astrid nearly fainted upon hearing those words. 

To think that Claude, the most authoritative orthopedic doctor, had said so, Ulric’s legs might as well be almost impossible 

to recover 

“Ken That bastard!” Astrid gnashed her teeth with hatred. 

The resentment she had shown before was actually fake, because Ulric’s legs were actually disabled by himself, and he framed Ken for it. 

But at this moment, her anger was real. If it weren’t for Ken’s existence, they wouldn’t have to do such a thing that harmed themselves more than Ken. 

1/3 

At this moment. Astrid had completely forgotten that the decision not to do rehabilitation was also their own. 

“But, Claude suddenly said again. “If you seek treatment from a doctor in traditional medicine, the chances of recovery will greatly increase.” 

“A doctor in traditional medicine?” Astrid scoffed. “Even if you can’t cure it, how can someone in traditional medicine cure 

“No.” Claude said seriously “We modern people are too dependent on modern medicine now. Modern medicine does indeed work quickly, but traditional medicine has such a long history. It is actually not to be underestimated. If you can find a master of acupuncture in traditional medicine who knows the nine–line acupuncture, it may not even take three months to recover Mr. Swanson’s legs 

Astrid was stunned. “Really?” 

She had very little trust in traditional medicine, but Claude had no need to deceive her, and she could only go to find a doctor in traditional medicine, as a last resort. 

“Those who know the nine–line acupuncture are very few, and many people haven’t even heard of it. If you find it, please let me know. At that time, I will cooperate with traditional medicine acupuncture treatment, and make modern rehabilitation training for Mr. Swanson’s situation. At that time, the combination of traditional and modern medicine will definitely be twice the result with half the effort. Claude said a lot, but what he didn’t say was that an old friend he knew would know the nine–line acupuncture. 

Unfortunately, that old friend had been living in seclusion in the mountains for more than ten years, and even Claude 

couldn’t contact him. 

“Okay, we understand.” 

“Thank you. Claude.” 

The two said goodbye to Claude. Astrid pushed Ulric’s wheelchair out the door, and once again received a call from the butler. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Astrid was in a foul mood, and seeing the three missed calls from the butler only added to her irritation. Upon answering, she lashed out at the phone. “Are you calling to rush me to death Don’t you know I’m helping Ulric find a doctor? 

The hospital corridors were filled with people, and even though this wasn’t Silverlake, there would surely be someone who recognized them 

Ulric frowned and turned his head to give Astrid a warning look Only then did Astrid suppress her anger, walking out of the hospital while lowering her voice to ask, “What on earth happened?” 

“Something big has happened!” The butler didn’t care about being scolded by Astrid just now and said in a hurry, “You and Mr. Ulric need to come back quickly!” 

Astrid curled her lips. 

They were inside the elevator, and it was only the two of them, so Astrid wasn’t afraid of being overheard and spoke bluntly. “Nothing is more important than finding a doctor for Ulric right now unless Margaret has come back to life.” 

The butler paused for a moment, and Astrid finally sensed something was wrong. Her pupils contracted, and her voice Irembled as she asked, “No, she can’t really have been cured, can she?” 

The builer finally spoke. “Yes, Mrs. Astrid. Margaret’s illness suddenly cleared up, and her belly doesn’t look swollen at all. now. She’s preparing to go to the Fox family to express her gratitude!” 

“What?”

+82 

The elevator door had already opened, arriving at the lobby on the first floor. 

But Astrid didn’t notice at all, only asking sharply. “What did you say? Say that again!” 

The butler quickly repeated it, then added, “Mr. Ramon and Mr. Ken are now going to the Times Building to buy gifts for the Fox family. You and Mr. Ulric need to hurry back!” 

The call ended, and Astrid stood there in a daze, repeating words in a daze. “Impossible, impossible…” 

It was absolutely impossible! 

How could that country bumpkin girl really have such amazing medical skills? 

Ulric was also shocked and confirmed with Astrid. “Is Margaret’s illness really cured?” 

Astrid came to her senses, pale–faced, and replied, “That’s what the butler said, but how could this be possible? Wasn’t she still coughing up blood a few days ago?” 

Ulric was the first to calm down, raising his voice to remind Astrid. “Don’t stand there. We have to hurry back immediately.”
