Chapter 262 Heaven Decides Some Measurements (2/2)
“To our friendship. Cheers.” Joanna also lifted the whiskey glass.
“A toast to our friendship. Cheers.” Ning Tao clinked his glass against Joanna’s and drank up all the whiskey.
The two of them took their seats at the dining table. Joanna must have been famished. She polished off a beef steak before easing her voracious appetite.
“Tao, I have studied you before,” Joanna suddenly said.
Ning Tao watched her and asked tentatively, “What did you study about me?”
“Your medical skills are undoubtedly the best I have ever seen. Those American hospitals and quacks had pronounced a death sentence on my dad, but you managed to cure him in such a short time.”
Ning Tao only smiled and said nothing.
“The only flaw is that my father doesn’t remember the whole process. He doesn’t even remember you. I was talking to him about his experience that day and he remembered nothing.”
Ning Tao was not in the least surprised. As long as he was involved with them, every patient who had paid their treatment fees at Sky Clinic would have their relevant memories erased.
“Can you tell me how you managed to cure my dad?” Joanna’s lovely blue eyes were fixed intently on Ning Tao. The expression in her eyes were full of curiosity and admiration.
Ning Tao said, “There is nothing perfect in this world. I’ve already said before that he might suffer from amnesia. From your descriptions, Mr. Barnes must have lost only a small portion of his memories. He could count himself lucky.”
Joanna slightly jerked up the corner of her mouth. “We’re already friends, staying in the same suite and drinking liquor together. Why can’t you let me know the treatment process?”
Ning Tao replied, “Sorry, I have my rules in treating my patients.”
Joanna suddenly grinned, showing her teeth. “Ha! I remember those words. You are a man with a lot of personality. You know what you have given up? Let me tell you: at least five million U.S. dollars. My father’s a most generous man. While he was suffering from his illness, he once said that he would pay anyone five million U.S. dollars to cure him.”
Ning Tao picked up a slice of raw salmon, dipped it in soy sauce and put it in his mouth. The salmon tasted fresh and good, but he did not like the wasabi in the soy sauce.
“It doesn’t matter if you won’t tell me. I understand. I’ve been searching for you. I asked Mr. Fan Huaying for your contact number and address, but he wouldn’t tell me. He wanted you to agree first.”
“Searching for me?” Ning Tao observed her and asked probingly, “Anything the matter?”
Joanna put down her cutlery and placed her hands on her small bosom. “Can you treat me for my small breasts?”
Ning Tao felt speechless.
Joanna went on, “I don’t like silicon and I like something natural. Since the day you cured my father, I have always believed you can cure this congenital flaw of mine.”
“Well…” Ning Tao felt a headache coming. He had cured all sorts of weird illnesses and diseases, but he had never helped a girl augment her breasts. One’s measurements were determined by Heaven and it would not be easy to change them. If a man endowed with a peanut came to him for a banana, he could do nothing, even if he was the Banana King.
“Why, aren’t you willing to help me?” Disappointment hovered in Joanna’s eyes.
Ning Tao gave a wry smile. “But your shortcoming isn’t an illness at all. Perhaps you lack nutrition during adolescence. Or maybe it’s because of some defective genes. How can you boost them without silicon?”
“You haven’t even tried, so how can you be so sure? All the top hospitals and doctors from the U.S. and Europe could not cure my dad, and yet you did it in lightning speed.” “You have such incredible medical skills. Are you sure you can do nothing?” Joanna’s mood was somewhat agitated. “I only want you to try. Did I put you in a quandary?”
“I understand how you feel.”
“No, you don’t understand at all.”
Ning Tao shrugged his shoulder. “Very well, I’ll try.”
“Thank you!” Joanna instantly gave a radiant smile. “I knew I can talk you into it.”
Ning Tao gave a wry smile. Although he had agreed, it was a big problem turning her flat chest into twin peaks. Even if a flat-chested girl had entered Sky Clinic, the good-evil tripod might not help her augment her breasts.
Ding dong, ding dong…
The doorbell suddenly rang.
