Chapter 4 - Cannot move

The one who reached out and knocked off the gift was Jackson, and the expressions on everyone's faces also became stunned.

"You, useless son-in-law, how dare you bring such a gift? Don't you understand the rules? The James Family only accepts gifts from the James Family," Jackson sneered, "And, is this gift worth over ten thousand?"

"Not yet, it's a custom-made one for nine thousand three, and I specially had someone polish the gold needle..." Grant replied truthfully.

"Hahaha!"

Before Grant could finish, Jackson burst out laughing, "Nine thousand three? You can even afford such a shabby gift? Oh, right, I shouldn't be mocking you, because you're a useless bum who doesn't even have an income. I'm afraid you got that money from the Reed Family, didn't you?"

"Of course, he doesn't work, and he doesn't rely on our family to support him. Where else would he get the money?" Lydia also sneered from the side.

Suddenly, the looks around Grant were filled with disdain. They had all heard about the son-in-law of the Christian family, but they never expected him to be so pathetic.

Eating and living off the James Family, even keeping a dog would be more useful than him.

Grant picked up the gift that had fallen to the ground and clenched his fist tightly, reminding himself that the three-year agreement was coming to an end and he shouldn't argue with them over such things.

"Jackson, what do you mean? This is a carefully prepared gift from Grant," Daisy said, standing in front of him.

"So what? This gift is nothing! Let me show you what I've prepared - a personal consultation with Logan, the famous doctor from Skylark City. He's a renowned doctor in the East, and just the consultation fee alone costs more than two million. Even if you have the money, it's not easy to get him to come here if you don't have connections," Daisy said.

Jackson sneered at Grant and said, "Your money is not even enough to cover the transportation fee for Logan to come from Skylark City to Jiangnan." "What? Logan, the famous doctor?" someone exclaimed in shock.

"One of the four famous doctors in Eastport Country? Oh my god, Jackson actually managed to invite him!" another person said.

"This gift is really too valuable..." someone else said.

"Compared to that, this useless gift from Grant is really nothing. It's not unreasonable for Jackson to throw it away," another person added.

For a moment, everyone gathered around, praising and exclaiming in unison.

It was all because Jackson's gift was too precious!

Daisy's face turned from green to purple. She gritted her teeth and pointed at Jackson, saying, "Jackson, I know you have a lot of money. What are you showing off for?"

"This is not showing off. It's my filial piety to my grandfather," Jackson said proudly.

At this moment, only Grant stood quietly on the side, lost in thought. He remembered that when he was still with the Morgan Family, he seemed to have seen Logan. At that time, Logan was just a small assistant among the many medical teams for the Morgan Family.

Grant still vaguely remembered that he had explained medical books to Logan back then.

Unexpectedly, now he had become one of the four famous doctors in Eastport Country. "Get out of the way, good dogs don't block the road!" Jackson turned his head and said unkindly to Grant.

Grant held the gift and walked to the corner without saying a word. Daisy was disappointed, but she could only keep her thoughts to herself. Her eyes were filled with disappointment. After all, how could a person like Grant, who was so spineless, have the courage to resist? If he cared, he wouldn't be living a life of idleness and waiting for death.

At that time, were you just trying to be clever at the Emperor's Club?

With everyone present, each of the Surnamed James offspring presented their gifts, all kinds of exquisite gifts filled the ground, and the packaging alone was dazzling. Jackson looked at the black long box in Grant's hands and was about to mock him again when the door of the ward suddenly opened and a man in a white coat walked in.

"Sorry, I'm late," the man in the white coat greeted apologetically.

All eyes of the James Family were on the man in the white coat. "Who are you?" they asked.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself," the man in the white coat smiled. "My name is Eric, and I'm Dr. Logan's apprentice. My master had something urgent to attend to and couldn't make it, so I came instead."

"My master also said that he will definitely come to visit Third Young Master after he is discharged from the hospital," Eric added. "Oh, so you're Doctor Ford," Jackson exclaimed with joy. "My grandfather has just recovered from a serious illness and wanted to have a check-up with Miracle Doctor Dixon before he leaves the hospital. But as Doctor Ford is a disciple of Miracle Doctor Dixon, you must also be a great doctor who can work wonders!"

"That's natural!" The man in the white coat sat down by the bedside and laughed. The people around did not stop him. They had heard of Eric, one of Logan's many disciples, who had also earned the title of one of Skylark City's top ten doctors. Although he couldn't compare to Famous Doctor Dixon, they said that his master had something come up and it delayed him.

Eric placed his hands on the old man's wrist and pressed for a moment before standing up and saying, "Third Master James had early-stage lung cancer. After treatment at the hospital, he has recovered more than half and is at the point where he can be discharged. However, the Western medicine effect is still average. There is residual congestion in his lungs, and he needs to undergo needle puncture to completely eradicate it."

"I see," they said.

"Indeed, he is a disciple of a divine doctor. He can see the root of the problem at a glance."

"No wonder the old man has been coughing recently. It turns out that there is still congestion in his lungs. This hospital's effect is really poor..."

"There's no other way. After all, it's a hospital. It's impossible to have the personal attention of a famous doctor. Thanks to Jackson's intervention, we were able to get Famous Doctor Ford."

As Eric spoke, the James Family's children all nodded in agreement, looking at Jackson with admiration. In their eyes, Jackson had been favored by his grandfather since he was young. After inviting a famous doctor to eradicate the root of his grandfather's illness, Jackson's position in the James Family would undoubtedly soar.

However, just as Eric was about to administer the needle, a strange voice suddenly floated in, "You can't use a needle on the lungs. Grandpa doesn't just have simple lung cancer. If you use a needle, it will cause big trouble!"

"What?" Eric was stunned. Although he was not as skilled as Logan, he had been in the medical field for twenty years. Who dared to question him at this moment? He quickly looked over and saw Grant standing in the corner.

"Who are you?" Eric frowned.

"Doctor Ford is treating the patient. What right do you have to interfere?" Jackson immediately became angry. "Do you know anything about medicine? You're just standing there pointing fingers, delaying my grandpa's treatment. How are you going to make up for it?"

"If you're so capable, why are you still living off us?" Lydia looked at Grant with disdain.

"Everyone, calm down," Daisy spoke up at this moment. She didn't think Grant was qualified to treat the patient, but in her heart, she actually believed what he said. Perhaps deep down, she also hoped that Grant could bring her some glory.

She turned to Grant and asked, "Grant, do you have a medical license? I can trust you, but we can't let you joke around with Grandpa's illness."

Grant shook his head. "No, I don't."

He grew up in the Morgan Family and had read countless medical books. Why bother with this useless thing?

As soon as the words were out, Jackson and Eric both laughed.

"Damn, this kid who doesn't know anything is still pointing fingers at others for treating illnesses. Come on, get him out of here!" Jackson angrily shouted.

"Please leave."

"That's right, get out of here quickly. Don't force us to take action and make everyone look bad," the two James Family heirs said, their eyes full of anger. If it weren't for their grandfather still being here, they would have already taken action.

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

Grant sighed and got up to leave.

Eric administered the needle. If he were to act forcefully, he would definitely be stopped by everyone. After all, in everyone's eyes, he was just a son-in-law who was good at mooching off others.

Jackson looked at Grant with a sneering gaze. "What a useless piece of garbage. Don't say you're from the James Family, you're just embarrassing us!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Daisy shook her head in disappointment. Grant's show of trying to be capable despite his lack of ability made her feel embarrassed as well. Being kicked out like this was really the epitome of being useless.

"Hey, is this Logan?"

Leaving the ward, Grant immediately made a phone call.

"Are you... Young Master Morgan?"

The voice on the other end paused, unable to believe that he could hear Grant's voice in this lifetime.

Seven years ago, he was guided by Grant at the Morgan Family and learned medicine, eventually becoming one of the top four famous doctors. He could never forget Grant's kindness.

After becoming a famous doctor, he also inquired about Grant's whereabouts, but learned that Grant had been expelled from the Morgan Family and his whereabouts were unknown.

Now, upon hearing the familiar voice of Logan, he immediately recognized it!

Grant turned his head and looked around before continuing, "Are you currently in Jiangnan, tied up with something and unable to leave, so you had your disciple treat a patient named Third Master James from the James Family?" "Young Master Morgan, how do you know?" The voice on the phone was puzzled.

"How do I know?" Grant smiled faintly, his tone rising and his eyes becoming incredibly sharp. "Because your good disciple is about to kill someone with his medical skills!"
