Chapter 54: As Expected of Master Peregrine

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

‘Ms. Scott?’?Finn Taylor was stunned.?‘Has something happened to Phoebe Scott?’

He got in the car and stepped on the accelerator, flying toward Pacific Heights.

By now, Logan Yeats, Hunter Sullivan, Alexander Scott, and Zachary Kennedy all owned their own properties at Pacific Heights.

Very quickly, Finn Taylor arrived at the Scott family’s residence.

Logan Yeats, Hunter Sullivan, and the rest were pacing up and down at the gate.

Finn Taylor could tell from their faces that they were worried sick. As he headed into the house, he asked, “What happened?”

“Master Peregrine, I’m afraid Ms. Scott isn’t doing well. Dr. Smith came over, but he shook his head as well.”

Finn Taylor knew that the Dr. Smith they were talking about was Jeremy Smith.

He was the most renowned doctor in the entire world and was known to raise people from the dead. But even Jeremy Smith shook his head this time.

Finn Taylor walked into Phoebe Scott’s room, but the rest did not follow.

They stood outside the door, not allowing anyone to disturb them in the room.

The four guardians were all prominent figures; they weren’t to be trifled with.

The Scott family servants were so fearful that they didn’t even dare to make a peep.

As Finn Taylor walked into the room, he saw Phoebe Scott lying there, her face pale and void of life.

Within Jeremy Smith’s hands were needles that he skillfully placed at Phoebe Scott’s acupuncture points, pulling her back from death’s door.

Alexander Scott—who was standing by the side—was sweating profusely. However, he managed to force a smile out when he saw Finn Taylor coming in. “Master Peregrine.”

Finn Taylor waved him off, signaling for him to stay quiet.

It was the most critical moment as Jeremy Smith tried to save Phoebe Scott’s life. They couldn’t afford to make the slightest sound now.

Finn Taylor stood by the side as he watched the doctor’s needles being poked around swiftly. He then abruptly took out a needle and placed it between Phoebe Scott’s eyebrows.

It was only then that Jeremy Smith finally let out a sigh of relief. Then, he stood up and bowed to the other. Although he was elderly, he respectfully made a 90-degree bow.

Finn Taylor didn’t ask Jeremy Smith to stand up immediately.

Only five minutes later did he finally speak up. “Get up.”

Jeremy Smith stood up and said respectfully, “Thank you, Master Peregrine, for saving my life.”

Alexander Scott was confused.?‘What’s wrong with Jeremy Smith? It makes sense that Finn Taylor’s needle saved Phoebe, but what does that have to do with Jeremy Smith?’

Seeming to notice Alexander Scott’s doubts, Jeremy Smith quickly explained, “Thunderbird, you may not understand this. Let me explain it to you. Medical studies are getting more refined by the day. This time, your sister’s illness was much more dangerous than before. In other words, she was already dead.”

Alexander Scott paused. “Dead?”

He was stunned by Jeremy Smith’s words.?‘My sister is clearly alive. How could Jeremy Smith say that she’s dead?”

“Don’t worry; listen to me. I said that your sister was dead, but I used one of the most high-level skills in the medical world. The moment I touched her, her life became closely intertwined with mine. Our fates were tied. If she died, I would’ve died as well.”

Alexander Scott came to a sudden realization. He immediately fell to the ground in front of Jeremy Smith, expressing his utmost gratitude. “Thank you for saving her life, sir.”

Jeremy Smith waved him off. “Your sister’s condition was really dangerous. It was completely unexpected. When I used that method earlier, I almost suppressed your sister’s illness and nearly… Thankfully, Master Peregrine stepped in and saved both of us.”

It was only then that Alexander Scott understood why Jeremy Smith had said that Finn Taylor had saved his life.

The former turned toward Finn Taylor and kowtowed on the ground. With each kowtow, he yelled out, “Thank you, Master Peregrine!”

Finn Taylor waved him off, and Jeremy Smith helped Alexander Scott up. “Let’s go out and let Phoebe have a good rest.”

As they left the room, Logan Yeats and the rest surrounded them. “Dr. Smith, how’s Phoebe?”

He waved them off. “She’s fine. We have her illness under control for now.”

His face was then filled with curiosity as though he was a student consulting a teacher. Although a little shy, he eventually blurted out, “Master Peregrine, it’s been so many years, but your medical skills are improving with time! There’s something I don’t understand. How did you manage to place that needle between her eyebrows?”

This was what Jeremy Smith couldn’t wrap his head around no matter how hard he tried. Even among the top 100 doctors in the country, not a single one would dare to do so.

After all, that was where the most vital acupuncture point was.

There were many doctors who had tried doing so but had ended up taking their patient’s lives in the process.

This was why Jeremy Smith had hesitated to do so. In fact, he had nearly paid for that with his life.

He couldn’t make out how Finn Taylor had managed to place that needle at once without much difficulty at all.

Finn Taylor smiled, pointing between Jeremy Smith’s eyebrows.

In an instant, the latter was stunned. “Thank you so much, Master Peregrine. I understand; I finally understand it. I never thought that Master Peregrine would be able to solve the problem I’ve been researching for so many years. As expected of Master Peregrine.”

Jeremy Smith was terribly emotional and looked all around the house for pen and paper. He wanted to record everything he had just learned.

Nobody else understood what the doctor had just learned. However, they knew one thing: Finn Taylor’s medical skills far exceeded Jeremy Smith’s.

The latter had once told the four guardians about this, but this was the first time they were experiencing it first-hand.

This made it more meaningful than ever.

The four guardians looked at Master Peregrine as though they were looking at a god. They had watched him grow up, face endless humiliation, and even be forced to become a useless matrilocal son-in-law of San Francisco. Yet, he had grown so much.

They wondered how much more Finn Taylor was hiding from them.

“You guys should all go home. Alexander, prepare a room; I’ll spend the night here.”

Alexander Scott was stunned. “Master Peregrine?”

“I’ll stay here to keep an eye on Phoebe’s condition. I’ll leave if her condition stabilizes tomorrow.”

The rest were already getting ready to leave, but when they heard Finn Taylor’s words, all their eyes turned red in an instant.?‘Master Peregrine is staying behind just to take care of Phoebe Scott!’

In the past, they had always felt that Master Peregrine was high up in the air and untouchable. But today, they finally realized that Master Peregrine was such a gentleman.

At the same time, they realized how Finn Taylor had managed to gather so many capable people like Jeremy Smith and Zane Yeller through his own efforts even after leaving Peregrine Hall.

“Ack…” Just then, they heard Phoebe Scott vomiting within the room.
