Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 754

"Yes, I am going to the Lightning Clan," Fade nodded. Then, he caught sight of the wariness on her parents' expression through the front window. So he turned to Cherry and said, "I'll pass on the ride, thanks! I will walk there myself."

Hearing this, Cherry could not help but felt disappointed. However, much to everyone's shock, she immediately opened the car door and jumped haphazardly out of the car that was still moving. This startled her parents. They exclaimed. "Cherry, what are you doing?"

Cherry winked at her parents and smiled, "Mom, Dad, you guys go ahead with driving. I'll walk with Fade. Since we are already close to the foot of Thunder Mountain, where we'll need to get down and hike the mountain on foot anyway. I'll take it as a warm up."

Cherry's parents were about to say something, but the impatient blare of honks from the drivers behind them shattered the tense atmosphere, forcing them to drive forward.

When Cherry saw her parents driving away, a cheeky grin appeared on her face. She leaned over to Fade and said with a chuckle, "Fade, thank you for your help yesterday!"

Fade smiled and said, "You already thanked me yesterday. Besides, it's not a big deal. You don't have to be so courteous."

Hearing this, Cherry giggled. She looked at Fade and asked, "Fade, are you really a doctor?"

Fade nodded and said, "I'm a doctor in Chinese Medicine."

"Chinese Medicine?" Cherry was a little surprised. "You practice Chinese Medicine?"

Fade read through her mind and couldn't help laughing. He said, "You should change your mindset. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are not all white-bearded old men like what you're thinking right now. There are still a lot of youngsters in this profession."

"I see! I thought Chinese Medicine doctors are all old men like what I've seen on dramas!" The little girl stuck her tongue out, giving her a cute and lovely demeanor.

Then, she stared at Fade with widened eyes and asked tentatively, "Fade, are your medical skills good?"

"Well, I guess so!" Fade chuckled.

When she heard this, Cherry couldn't hide the joy on her face, "For real? My grandpa is seriously ill.

It'd be wonderful if you could cure his illness."

When Fade heard this, he said, "Tell me your grandpa's symptoms. Who knows, I might actually have a way to save him!"

At first, Cherry merely bought up the topic as a casual conversation without expecting anything in return. After all, she was born with a silver spoon. Her family had employed countless famous doctors locally or from abroad, but none of them could not cure her Grandpa. Therefore, her family opted for the last choice, which was to seek for medicine from the Lightning Clan.

As for what Fade had just said, Cherry merely treated them as a figure of speech.

Seeing Cherry's indifferent attitude toward his words, Fade said, "You can tell me. Even if I can't cure him, maybe I know someone who can."

Hearing this, Cherry felt tempted. She was thinking that even if Fade couldn't treat her grandpa, as a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, he should know many people in the profession such as his seniors, masters and the likes of it. There might be a way out somehow. After all, the more friends you have, the more options you have.

Having thought of this, Cherry started telling Fade about her grandfather's condition.

After listening carefully to her descriptions, Fade pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, your grandfather's condition is not as complicated as you think. Just take some ginseng, psyllium husk powder and wormwood..."

Fade went on with his list of jargons, only to stop when he noticed Cherry's look of utter puzzlement. He broke into laughter and said, "Well, I'll write down the prescriptions for you. When you go back, you can go to a traditional Chinese medical center to get you the ingredients."

Cherry didn't expect Fade to say that he could cure her grandfather's illness. Although she was not really convinced, Fade was being nice. She passed a pen and paper to Fade. Fade jolted down the prescriptions swiftly and handed it back to her.

Cherry took the prescription and glanced at it. Realizing that she couldn't understand a single word on it, she folded the paper and shoved it into her pocket. "Thank you, Fade!" Cherry said with delight.

At this moment, a sneer could be heard. "Cherry, he is a scammer. You don't need to thank him."

Hearing this, Fade and Cherry whipped their heads in unison and noticed a young man in his late twenties sauntering toward them.

The man was dressed in designer clothes. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were slightly raised in complacence. He carried an air of pride around him. Cherry's expression darkened when she saw the man. She said coldly, "Hugo Lei! Don't meddle into my business."

The man's last name was Lei. It did not take Fade long to come to a realization that he must be Young Master Lei, the man Cherry had mentioned yesterday.

Hearing what Cherry had said, there was a trace of displeasure on Hugo's face. He immediately rebuked, "Cherry, I am not trying to meddle but this is a serious matter that concerns your grandfather's illness. How will your parents react if they find out that you've taken an unruly prescription from a lousy conman?"

Cherry's face immediately dimmed at his words. She knew only too well that her parents would not believe Fade's prescription at all.

For a moment, Cherry was frozen, she did not know how to react.

Seeing this, Hugo revealed a triumphant grin and continued, "Cherry, you'd better stay away from this trickster. I've already told you that I know someone in the Lightning Clan who can help you.

I'll take you up the mountain and ask the master of the Lightning Clan for a prescription to cure your grandfather's illness. It's not troublesome."

While speaking, Hugo approached Cherry and tried to hold her hand.

However, Cherry quickly stepped back and steered away from his outstretched hand.

Without saying another word to Hugo, she turned directly to Fade, "Fade, let's go!"

Cherry took Fade's hand and scurried forward.

Seeing this, Hugo's eyes turned livid with jealousy. He cast a venomous glare at Fade. Quickening his pace, he followed them silently.

Soon, Fade and Cherry arrived at the foot of the Thunder Mountain.

At this moment, the atmosphere at the foot of the mountain was as lively as a market. Myriads of luxury cars parked at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the crooked lane along the mountain, trails of people akin to a colony of ants could be seen hiking up the mountain.

In the face of the spectacular nature, we sure looked tiny.

When they walked toward the parking lot, Cherry's parents were already there, anxiously looking around for their daughter.

When they saw Cherry from far, they couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and strode toward their beloved daughter. However, when they saw Cherry walking hand-in-hand with Fade, their faces suddenly turned sullen.

Seeing his parents' expressions, Cherry's heart skipped a beat. She quickly let go of Fade's hand and walked toward her parents. "Mom, Dad, I..."

Before she could finish, her parents pulled a sullen face on them, "What was that?"

"What?" Cherry pretended to be oblivious.

His parents said coldly, "Don't play dumb. You and Fade are holding hands. What were you thinking?"

For a moment, Cherry didn't know how to explain it to her parents. At this time, Hugo also came over and greeted Cherry's parents with a cordial smile, "Mr. and Mrs. Xie, nice to meet you!"
