Chapter 28
Upon hearing Harris’s words, Caleb and even Jackson were left dumbfounded. They couldn’t believe the current condition.
Indeed, what was happening was baffling. Gavin seemed to have taken the role of the healer within Harris. “Now, he is Dr. Clifford?” thought Caleb and Jackson inwardly.
The situation was likely related to the “miraculous moxa roll skill” mentioned by Harris earlier.
They remembered Harris had just said that only the long-lost miraculous moxa roll skill, which had been missing for a century, could save his father as it was the only way.
But considering that the miraculous moxa roll skill had been lost for over a hundred years, it’s baffling why someone like Gavin would possess this knowledge and skill.
Gavin, a member of the Clifford family, was viewed as a disgrace and treated as an outcast. He had disappeared for ten years and was now only in his early twenties.
They couldn’t believe that not only did he possess such incredible martial prowess, but he also had such formidable medical skills.
This made them all speechless.,
At that moment, they were utterly perplexed and unsure how to react to these sudden and unfolding events.
Harris remained silent, and those around him dared not speak or utter a word.
Meanwhile, Gavin’s movements were as swift as lightning, and even though Harris was keenly observing, he still couldn’t fully grasp Gavin’s actions.
Furthermore, even though Harris was paying close attention while using. the miraculous moxa roll and applying the skill to treat Brooke, he still couldn’t discern Gavin’s actions.
Gavin performed the miraculous moxa roll skill with his eyes shut. However, he placed his hands incredibly precisely at each location. After a short while, Gavin’s movements abruptly stopped.
After a brief moment of adjustment and tidying up, Gavin exhaled a deep

breath, and only then aid ne slowly open mis eyes. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
At that very moment, something extraordinary happened.
Suddenly, the sound of spitting resounded.
A thick, black liquid forcefully spurted from Brooke’s mouth and nose.
“Dad!”
Witnessing this scene, both Jackson and Caleb simultaneously exclaimed in surprise. However, as they were about to rush to Brooke’s side, Harris sternly halted them.
“Don’t move!” he ordered when Jackson and Caleb wanted to rush to Brooke’s side.
Then, he quickly moved to Brooke’s side and knelt, feeling for Brooke’s pulse.
As time passed, Harris’s face began to shine more brightly, and an expression of astonishment and a sense of joy appeared in his eyes.
He exclaimed in the next moment.
“It’s good. It’s all good. Everything’s good! Mr. Taylor’s ailments have completely disappeared, and he has already recovered!”
“What?!” shouted Jackson and Caleb in disbelief.
Jackson and Caleb looked stunned and bewildered as they listened to the exclamation from Harris.
Their gazes kept shifting, eventually fixed on Gavin, displaying a complex expression.
They remained silent and gazed at Gavin for a period.
At that moment, there was a sudden sound.
Harris, who had been crouching on the ground, unexpectedly knelt.
The person right in front of him was Gavin.
A crisp sound appeared all of a sudden after Harris knelt.
Harris shockingly raised his hand and gave himself a resounding slap. With blood at the corner of his mouth, he shouted at Gavin.
“Dr. Clifford! I was wrong! I admit that I was wrong! I apologize for that!
“I was blind and ignorant before! I didn’t recognize Dr. Clifford’s true identity and spouted nonsense here!”
A smack sound came after his sentence.

Another resounding slap!
He continued, “It’s all my fault! I was the ignorant and arrogant one!”
“Dr. Clifford, please forgive me, please forgive me! I beg for your forgiveness!”
“Smack!” Another loud slap resounded as he struck himself hard in the face.
It was quite a scene. The members of the Taylor family were all
dumbfounded and utterly perplexed, including Logan, who had not yet stood up and was still on the ground.
They were all confused about Harris’s status. “What is his status?” they thought inwardly.
He was a renowned medical expert in Riverrun with hostile intentions, holding a revered position, and his expertise in medical matters was highly respected.
Throughout Riverrun, no matter how much power and influence or how strong you were, you had to lower your head slightly and would typically need to show a degree of deference to Harris, the esteemed physician.
It was because no one could guarantee a lifetime without illness, disaster, or misfortune, and offending a doctor was something you couldn’t afford.
But here was the renowned Harris, who had the entire Riverrun’s elite bowing to him, kneeling before a young man in his twenties, repeatedly slapping himself and apologizing to him!”
This was what had transpired, leaving them all profoundly shocked.
If this scene were revealed and shared with others, no one would probably believe it!
At that moment, Gavin glanced at the kneeling Harris without speaking.
On the other side, Layla had already approached Gavin with a hint of nervousness and asked with concern as she held his hand.
She said, “Gavin, how is my grandfather now?”
Gavin smiled and raised his hand to pinch Layla’s cheek gently.
He replied to her, “Don’t worry, Layla. Your grandfather is now fine. He can live for at least several more decades.”
“Yeah! That’s great!” Upon hearing Gavin’s reply, Layla finally smiled, delighted and joyful.
She tightly embraced Gavin’s arm.

She said, “I knew it, Gavin. You could do it!”
On the other hand, Harris, still kneeling on the ground, looked at Gavin. with a worshipful expression.
Then, the next moment, he suddenly bowed down and knelt, making a loud sound as he knocked his head to the ground.
This strange move caused Gavin to show a rather peculiar expression.
A voice rang out.
Harris said, “Dr. Clifford, I am Harris, and I request that you accept me as your disciple.
I am willing to serve you, follow you, and do whatever it takes for your teachings.”
Well, now things had taken a surprising turn!
The top physician in Riverrun was openly trying to become the apprentice of a young man in his early twenties, specifically in medicine.
Don’t mention what the uninformed public would think if they found
out.
At the moment, even the members of the Taylor family were utterly shocked!
They all stood with their mouths wide open, staring in disbelief.
Gavin gave a strange look to Harris, who was still kneeling on the ground.
He asked Harris, “What are you doing? I won’t take you as my apprentice.”
Even after being rejected by Gavin, Harris wouldn’t give up.
He spoke again, “Is it because I’m not worthy?”
“Yes!” Gavin nodded straightforwardly. “You are not worthy,” replied Gavin to his question.
Gavin’s words were devoid of any restraint, as he was just that straightforward.
Even as the top physician in Riverrun, Harris wasn’t eligible to become Gavin’s disciple.
Upon hearing this statement, Harris’s face displayed a mixture of embarrassment and oddity, with the corners of his eyes twitching incessantly.
However, he held no grudge against Gavin because he knew he wasn’t

worthy.
It was because he knew deep down that he truly wasn’t worthy.
So he opened his mouth again.
He said loudly, “Dr. Clifford, I don’t ask to be your disciple. I can be your assistant, follower, or servant by your side! Please, take me with you!”
“Harris is willing to become a servant to stay by Gavin’s side,” the others thought inwardly with surprise.
They felt speechless about that.
Harris was truly sacrificing a lot!
However, Gavin looked at Harris and shook his head calmly.
“I’ve never lacked servants by my side,” said Gavin.
It seemed that Gavin had rejected Harris again.
Harris’s eyes were filled with profound disappointment, and he had no idea what else he could say to impress Gavin.
However, when Gavin uttered these words, Jackson and Caleb had peculiar expressions.
They secretly felt quite emotional, thinking, “You, an outcast from the Clifford family, dare to claim you never lack servants? How ridiculous!”
However, they dared only to grumble about this in their hearts and didn’t dare to speak out loud.
This was all because they couldn’t possibly confront Gavin.
Gavin truly possessed such formidable medical skills.
However, in their eyes, Gavin was just like that!
At that moment, Harris was still contemplating a last-ditch effort.
A cough broke out.
Brooke’s elderly voice was suddenly heard, and everyone instantly shifted their attention to Brooke.
“Dad!”
“Dad!”
Amid the exclamations of Jackson and Caleb, Brooke, who had been lying unconscious on the ground, slowly pushed himself up from the ground.
Brooke was looking bewildered, and he shook his head slightly.

He asked, “What’s happening? What happened to me? Why was I lying on the ground?”
Layla, following behind Gavin, snatched a step ahead of the others and spoke in surprise.
She said, “Grandpa, you’re awake! It’s a miracle! How are you feeling? Are you feeling better now? You suddenly spat blood and fainted earlier, but Gavin helped save you!”
“I…” Upon hearing Layla’s words, Brooke suddenly froze. The next
moment, he pushed himself up from the ground and exclaimed with joy.
He excitedly continued, “I feel an inexhaustible power surging
throughout my body. What’s happening? I feel like my body has returned to my youth!”
The delighted Brooke appeared like a child in his fifties or sixties, but at that moment, his gaze slightly narrowed, and he expressed in
amazement.
Seeing the current situation, he asked, “Dr. Myers, why are you kneeling on the ground?”
