Su Tao bitterly smiled. "You're putting me in a tough spot here!"

"What's wrong? You're not confident?" Shui Junzhuo looked at Su Tao in perplexion.

"A doctor never knocks on the patient's door. If the patient doesn't want to seek treatment, then the doctor can't jump out on his own to treat the patient. After all, we can't possibly tell someone that he's ill, or we will be beaten up by the other party instead, thinking that we're cursing them." Su Tao patiently explained.

Seeing that Su Tao was joking with her, Shui Junzhuo smiled. "What if he makes a request for you to treat him?"

"That works, but it won't be easy, according to my analysis. After all, he's an intelligent person, and if he's ill, his position will be threatened. That also means that someone like him will try his best to hide his illness." Su Tao nodded.

What Su Tao said made sense, so Shui Junzhuo helplessly replied, "Then, what should we do? Stefan is a vital person here!"

Seeing that Shui Junzhuo was becoming anxious, Su Tao's heart finally melted as he suggested, "How about this, let's arrange a meeting between us first and see if he can be saved. If he cannot be saved, then you should find another person to work with. But if he can be saved, then we'll go according to the situation."

Receiving Su Tao's agreement, Shui Junzhuo immediately smiled. "You will not disappoint me! But will it affect your injuries?"

Shui Junzhuo had asked Yue Zun, who told her that Su Tao had mostly recovered. This was also the reason why she sought Su Tao's help.

This matter had to be done by Su Tao. If she got Yue Zun, it's impossible for it to have such an effect. Firstly, Yue Zun didn't know any TCM diagnostic skills, so he wouldn't be able to tell Stefan's illness from a glance. Furthermore, the Ivanov's family had complete trust in Su Tao's medical skills, and Ivanov would only help if Su Tao was involved.

"My chest hurts a little!" Su Tao immediately showed a painful expression the moment he noticed Shui Junzhuo's concern for him.

Shui Junzhuo sourly laughed in her heart. She knew that Su Tao was pretending. However, she still went along and pressed on Su Tao's chest. "Is it here?"

Su Tao never expected that Shui Junzhuo would play along, which he nodded and smiled. "It no longer hurts the moment you touched it. Now, I finally know what the best painkiller in the world is!"

"What?" Shui Junzhuo blushed as she allowed Su Tao to take advantage of her. After all, it's just her hand, and there's no harm letting him touch a little.

"The warmth from the hand of my lover!" Su Tao smiled as he continued, "With your touch, I can feel that soul instantly flying out of my body. I feel that there's nothing that I cannot do in the world."

Hearing his words, Shui Junzhuo couldn't help smiling. "I never expected that you're also talented as a poet."

"A doctor must be someone that knows everything. Otherwise, how can we treat so many complicated diseases?" Su Tao smiled as he nodded his head.

Letting out a sigh, Shui Junzhuo bade her farewell, "I have to get going now."

"Can you give me another five minutes?" Su Tao bitterly smiled in disappointment.

Withdrawing her hand, Shui Junzhuo gently tapped Su Tao's forehead. "Be obedient and rest well."

After that, she left the ward with her face blushed.

Looking at her silhouette, Su Tao inwardly sighed and was determined to help Shui Junzhuo with Stefan. However, he still had to do some planning on this matter.

As Stefan's gaze fell on the green tablet on the tray, he took a deep breath and decisively swallowed it down before Kelov handed a cup of water to him. After Stefan took a big gulp, he sighed. "Why can't I feel anything after taking medicine?"

"This medicine is effective in controlling the nervous system. Since your hands are no longer trembling that seriously, it means that the medicine is effective." Kelov explained, patiently.

Staring at his hand, Stefan noticed that his hand was no longer trembling as intensely, which meant that the tablet was truly effective. Hence, he turned to Kelov and thanked, "Thank you. If you can treat me, I will definitely repay you."

However, Kelov smiled with a guilty conscience. Actually, Stefan's condition wasn't improving, and he was only consoling the latter's emotions. Stefan's condition wasn't like how he had determined, and the latter's condition seemed even more bizarre. The issue wasn't only with his nervous system, and this was why medication meant for the nervous system wasn't useful.

"It's my duty." Kelov bowed and continued, "I only hope that you can recover, that will be my greatest reward."

Nodding his head, Stefan poured a cup of vodka to Kelov and smiled. "Please, have a drink!"

Kelov did not hesitate about that. After all, it's in their culture for them to drink vodka. As long as they see vodka, they couldn't resist the temptation.

As Kelov gracefully drank the vodka, a voice suddenly sounded in the steward's earphone, which he moved to Stefan and whispered. After hearing the steward's words, Stefan had surprise in his eyes as he replied, "Invite him i— no, let me welcome him personally! Mr. Kelov, please have a seat and wait briefly."

With Kelov's meticulous thoughts, he naturally guessed that it must be a formidable person for Stefan to be so nervous. Hence, he rejoiced in his heart that he managed to find such a huge tree. After all, life was chilling under the shade of the tree.

But soon after, Kelov's face started to change as he recognised the person standing beside Stefan, it was Ivanov.

At the same time, Ivanov also furrowed his brows. Although he did not have any good impression of Kelov, he's still a fox. Hence, he wouldn't show his inner thoughts on his face as he greeted Kelov, "I never expected that Dr. Kelov would be here as well!"

"You know Mr. Kelov?" Stefan swiftly reacted and explained, "We're good friends, and I often invite him over for a drink.

However, inwardly Ivanov sneered. Stefan is friends with a doctor? Only an idiot would take his word for it.

"Kelov once treated my daughter in the past. Although he wasn't successful, I'm still grateful for his help." Ivanov smiled.

Wearing an embarrassed smile, Kelov replied, "Since I couldn't help you, then I can't accept your gratitude."

Looking at Ivanov in surprise, Stefan asked, "Natasha was sick? When was that? She's our princess, the idol of gymnastics lovers. She's the pride of Russia!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Ivanov sighed, "Everyone will fall sick, but fortunately, my daughter met a divine physician in China. It was he who treated Natasha."

Letting out a sigh in relief, Stefan rejoiced, "That's great! If something happened to Natasha, I believe countless people would feel sad for her."

At the same time, he was internally struggling. He wondered if Ivanov knew that he was sick, or why the latter would mention to him that his daughter was ill. After all, this was a private matter, and people generally wouldn't mention it.

"Not only did Natasha recover, but she has also resumed her training for the competition!" Ivanov took out a few tickets from his pocket and smiled. "Stefan, you're an old friend of mine, so you must show your support by watching Natasha's performance."

Inwardly sighing, Stefan realised that he was too suspicious. It turned out that Ivanov was here for his daughter and he's here to give him tickets. This was an act of friendship, but he had actually doubted it with suspicion, which left him guilty.

"Since you're inviting me, I will definitely take some time out to watch it," Stefan promised.

"Dr. Kelov, why don't you come along if you're free?" Ivanov had already given out invitations to everyone around him to advertise his daughter's competition.

Overwhelmed by the sudden favor, Kelov replied, "Thank you for your invitation. I will definitely make myself free and watch the competition."

Thereafter, Stefan and Ivanov briefly chatted before the latter had to leave to visit a few more friends. Sending Ivanov to the entrance, Stefan turned around and smiled. "No one could imagine that Ivanov is someone filled with parental love, right?"

Letting out a sigh, Kelov smiled. "Ivanov and his wife truly dote on their daughter."

Suddenly, Stefan's facial expression became complicated and asked, "Earlier, he mentioned that Natasha was sick?"

"I'm sorry, but that is the patient's privacy!" Kelov instantly interrupted and continued, "As a doctor, it's our responsibility to protect our patient's privacy, and upholding this is more important than our life!"

Hearing those words, Stefan was satisfied. If Kelov revealed Natasha's illness to him, then that meant that there's a chance that Kelov might tell his illness to someone else. Hence, he tried to probe Kelov.

As a smart person, how could Kelov not know that he was being tested?

"Is that divine physician from China really that miraculous?" Stefan was suddenly curious. After all, Natasha's illness was something that even Kelov failed to cure, and yet, that physician from China succeeded.

"Please believe in science. In my view, China's TCM is no different from witchcraft without any basis. If you choose TCM, then that means that you're leaving your life with God." Kelov suddenly looks enraged as he continued, "Truth be told, Natasha's condition was already improving under my treatment, but that physician was lucky and misled Ivanov and his wife that it was all thanks to him that Natasha was treated."

Kelov's explanation was truly misleading by saying that he was the one who treated Natasha, while that physician took the glory.

"Oh?" Stefan glanced at Kelov with a complicated glance. Although there's no change in his expression, he was pondering in his heart. With someone as smart as Ivanov, how can he be easily fooled by someone else?
