The sheer will to live among these patients was terrifyingly strong.
But then again, people like Kendrick were wealthy and had dedicated family doctors.
Even with top-tier medical care, they couldn't fully cure their rheumatism. If a poor person contracted this disease, the agony would plague them for the rest of their life.
Actually, they might not even last that long; they would likely just give up when the pain became unbearable.
As Claire massaged the old man's legs with the medicinal oil she brought, she fell deep in thought.
The efficacy of this medicinal oil was extraordinary.
Maybe she could have Owen look into mass-producing it.
Hale's medicinal oil for dispelling wind and dampness was legendary.
Producing it on a larger scale could benefit countless people.
After massaging Kendrick for half an hour, Claire asked how he felt.
He gave her a massive thumbs-up. "You truly are Hale's successor."
"After your massage, it feels like my legs have finally come back to life." It was nothing short of a miracle.
Kendrick sighed in pure relief; he hadn't felt this comfortable in years.
Unless he was sitting under a heat lamp at home, his legs constantly felt like they were submerged in a freezing lake.
"Claire, could you teach this technique to my family doctor?"
"And I'll buy this medicinal oil from you."
"Don't worry, I won't short you a single cent."
Truthfully, Kendrick wanted to keep Claire on retainer as his personal physician.
But with Dane sitting right there, he knew better than to even suggest it.
Forget Claire Dane himself would never allow his girlfriend to become someone's on-call private doctor.
"Of course. Whenever you find a doctor or nurse you trust, I'll teach them the technique."
"I'll leave this oil with you as well. If you get a massage twice a day, you'll feel a noticeable difference within a month."
"As for the acupuncture—"
Before Claire could finish, Kendrick interrupted her. "Acupuncture isn't something just anyone can learn. You'll have to do that yourself."
Kendrick understood the unwritten rules.
He knew that many acupuncture techniques were closely guarded secrets.
Naturally, it was impossible to ask Claire to teach them to an outsider.
But that wasn't what Claire was going to say.
Even if she were willing to teach it, no one could master it in a short amount of time.

It had taken her ten years of rigorous practice to achieve her current level of proficiency.
Someone else might not reach her level even after twenty years.
"Right, right. Honestly, I'd be terrified to let anyone else try it."
Kendrick knew all too well that an inexperienced doctor could easily cause permanent damage with a misplaced needle.
Claire washed her hands and had Kendrick lie back on the sofa to begin the treatment.
The process was agonizingly slow, and by the time she was deep into it, her forehead was beaded with sweat.
Dane sat beside her, gently dabbing the moisture from her brow.
Half an hour later, she finally withdrew the Golden Needles.
Sterling Cole felt an unprecedented lightness in his legs.
Claire's skills were genuinely masterful.
"You two should stay for dinner tonight'll call the family doctor over right now, and

Kendrick was overwhelmingly grateful to her.
He genuinely wanted her to stay for dinner so they could build a better relationship.
With the chaotic crowd yesterday, he hadn't gotten a chance to properly assess the situation.
Claire glanced at Dane.
Dane smiled and smoothly declined.
We have plans tonight
Baldrick is also expecting Claire
home för dinner
"We'll have to take a raincheck."
"Besides, Claire will be coming here once a week from now on. There will be plenty of time for dinner."
Kendrick thought about it and realized he shouldn't interrupt the young couple's date night.
"Alright, next time then. But about the family doctor..."
Kendrick was worried the doctor wouldn't make it in time.
"Grandpa, I'll learn it!"
