Chapter 241: Modified: Chapter 240

Ivy River frowned and asked, "Why exactly are you here to see me?"

"To see a doctor, and to see you, as I said at the start," replied Thalia Anderson.

Ivy didn’t believe this reason at all. She pressed, "Why did you want to see me?"

"I heard you’re the Little Divine Doctor and since I’m on a business trip to Seaton, and my health isn’t great, I thought I’d come see you," she said earnestly.

Ivy wondered if she was overthinking things.

She continued, "I see that you usually reside in Phoenix City. The medical care there should be better, though Seaton is also good. Why didn’t you see a doctor in Hudon City?"

"Because I’m on a business trip, silly girl," Thalia responded patiently to Ivy’s string of questions.

The black-suited bodyguard beside her grew impatient, "We’re just here to see a doctor. Do we really need all this interrogation? Someone might think you’re investigating our household registration."

Ivy shot him a glare, "I need to ask these questions. What if you’re here to harm me?"

Thalia laughed at Ivy’s words, "Oh, you silly girl, you’re quite amusing. So, did you figure out what’s wrong with me? If not, I’ll be on my way."

This statement felt casually succinct.

Ivy took a sip of water and spoke seriously, "Here’s the thing, sir. Your heart is racing because you’re getting older, and your body’s normal functions can’t keep up. Any slight agitation can cause this."

"Also, you feel that your stomach and spleen are acting up because you don’t eat vegetables, only meat and carbs, causing you to get constipated and overheated. As you age, you need to eat more fruits and vegetables for your health."

While speaking, Ivy began typing the diagnosis on her computer.

Thalia’s previously smiling face now looked somewhat awkward.

The black-suited bodyguard turned away silently when he heard this.

How embarrassing.

After printing out the diagnosis, Ivy handed it over, "Here’s the detailed diagnosis. Buy the necessary medicines. I’m not going to bill you today, just leave directly."

"Why?" Thalia was taken aback.

"Because I think you wouldn’t find the billing desk, and even if you did, your bodyguard’s attitude might scare our doctors. It’s just a few bucks, consider it my treat."

"Fine! Fine, fine!" Thalia suddenly exclaimed happily.

Ivy was startled, "What’s with you? It’s just a few bucks, why are you so happy over it?"

Thalia simply waved her hand, but couldn’t hide her smile, "I’m just very happy. Are there any other health issues?"

Ivy sighed, "You only mentioned discomfort in two areas, so I only checked those. Extend your hand for me to check again."

Thalia obediently extended her hand.

After a while.

Ivy opened her eyes and remarked, "Your body is fine overall, but you seem too irritable. Are you dealing with some stress lately? I thought it was just constipation, but now I see it’s because you have unresolved issues, causing you to be overheated and constipated."

Upon hearing the word constipation.

Thalia felt somewhat awkward and cleared her throat, "Well, indeed, I’ve been stressed lately. Is there any way to address it?"

"You can take traditional Chinese medicine to adjust, and avoid crowded places. Your heart races quickly already, so avoid activities like square dancing or speed walking groups. Just take walks and raise flowers for your health."

"Alright, please write me a prescription for the herbal medicine."

While typing, Ivy couldn’t help but say, "Actually, this herbal medicine treats the symptoms, not the root cause. You still need to address the issues in your heart. As the saying goes, ’A heart ailment needs a heart remedy.’

"Got it, I’ll pay attention. Thank you, little girl."

Ivy closed her eyes, suppressing her anger.

Better not argue with the elderly too much.

Given his age, he did seem weak despite a tough exterior.

Called a little girl? Well, that’s not entirely untrue.

She regained her composure, "Okay, take this prescription home and have the medicine prepared. Drink it for one course and then come back for a check-up. If you’re not in Seaton, you can go to a hospital in Phoenix City."

Thalia took the prescription and nodded in satisfaction, "Thank you, girl."

The affection in his eyes was plain to see.

Ivy was taken aback, then asked, "Is there anything else?"

"No, that’s all."

"Alright, then please leave. I need five minutes to rest my waist."

Ivy politely showed them out.

This time, Thalia didn’t waste words, "Alright, then I’ll be on my way. Since you waived my billing fee, may I treat you to a meal? Do you have time, Doctor Rivers?"

Ivy flatly refused, "Sorry, I’m unavailable this evening. Besides, there’s nothing much for a doctor and patient to discuss over a meal."

Her message was clear.

Only a fool wouldn’t understand.

Without troubling her further, Thalia said, "Alright, then we’ll leave now."

Ivy nodded and watched as the black-suited bodyguard unhappily pushed the elderly man out.

The moment they left.

Ivy immediately locked the door.

Then she started to thoroughly investigate Thalia Anderson’s identity.

She called Leon Peterson, "Leon, do you know about the Anderson Family in Phoenix City?"

"The Anderson Family? Didn’t they move their business overseas a long time ago? They were one of the major families in Phoenix City."

"Why did they move overseas?"

Leon was surprised, "How would I know? It happened abruptly over twenty years ago. It was a big deal then. They were at the top of Phoenix City’s wealth rankings, even more powerful than the Blake Clan today."

Ivy fell silent.

Leon continued, "Had they stayed, the Blake Clan wouldn’t have developed so well. Their businesses were direct competitors. But they left suddenly, causing quite a stir. This is what the old-timers said. Why are you asking?"

"Just curious. I saw the surname Anderson and it felt familiar," she deflected.

"Anderson? There aren’t many major families with that surname in Seaton. Maybe he’s from Phoenix City."

Ivy replied coldly, "Yes, his ID shows Phoenix Land, so it’s probably a coincidence."

Leon laughed, "It must be a coincidence. After all, you’re Ivy River, the Little Divine Doctor, not out there using the Ayla name. Even if it is the Anderson Family, they wouldn’t come looking for you."

That was true.

But to Ivy, his words felt unsettling.

"Alright, you can go now. If you find yourself too idle, let me know, I don’t mind assigning you tasks," she said and hung up.

Ignoring Leon’s protests.

Ivy leaned back in her chair, looking at Thalia Anderson’s Baidu page—a founder of the Anderson Group, migrated overseas 28 years ago.

She smiled, her thoughts inscrutable.
