Chapter 3 A Car Accident That Saved a Life!

“What the hell are you talking about? My painting? A fake?” Kevin exclaimed angrily and glared at Aiden. Angelina didn’t recognize Aiden at that moment. In her mind, Aiden had always been the one getting bullied, and he had always tolerated his tormentors in silence. So, what gave him the courage to argue against Kevin today? “I said that your painting is fake. It’s dye instead of paint.” Aiden sneered. “Your painting looks so poorly done. Even the smell of coconut hasn’t been removed. Only idiots like you will buy such paintings!” Kevin was so angry he let out a short bark of laughter and retorted with a sneer, “You’re just a good-for-nothing son-in-law. Are you a painter? How do you know my painting is a fake?” “Aiden, don’t spout nonsense if you don’t know anything! Don’t slander Kevin!” Linda called out to him from the side. “Yeah, you didn’t even see it before you accused it of being fake!” “Why are you pretending to be an art connoisseur? I’ve never seen you act like this before!” “It would make more sense if he could tell the difference between salt and sugar. After all, he only cooks at home, hahaha!” There was another round of raucous laughter in the hotel that was particularly harsh to the ears. “It’s a smoking method. A counterfeiter would place the art piece in a closed room, then light coconut shells or incense to smoke it! After a few days, the paper will turn brown. Smell it for yourself. Can’t you scent the smell of coconuts wafting in the air?” Aiden said with a mirthless smile playing on his lips. The Finnegans had been in the art industry for a long time. They owned several calligraphy and paintings from famous artists. His grandfather had even researched calligraphy and various paintings, so naturally, he knew a lot more about calligraphy and painting than these people. Kevin placed his nose against the painting and smelled it. His facial expression immediately changed, and everyone guessed that Aiden was really telling the truth! No one expected this good-for-nothing son-in-law from the Gray Family to really know his paintings! At this moment, even Linda looked at Aiden in surprise! “The painting is real!” A stern voice loudly claimed from behind Kevin. Everyone turned to face the man and realized that it was Mason Gray, Kevin’s father. It was Angelina’s uncle, the head of the Gray Family. While he announced it aloud, he even looked at Aiden dismissively. “But…” “Shut up!” Before Aiden could finish talking, Mason said coldly, “You’re just a good-for-nothing son-in-law. Who do you think you are to dare question Kevin’s judgments?” “Uncle!” Angelina cried out with a frown. “Shut up!” Mason scolded once more. Anyone with an eye could see that the head of the family was just protecting Kevin, so no one dared to speak. Aiden glanced at Mason but didn’t respond. Even if some things were revealed as facts, there was still Kevin’s status at play. Besides, now wasn’t the time to expose his true identity… This minor issue was nothing to Aiden. He had tolerated such injustice for three years. So, a little more wouldn’t make any difference! In the banquet, the Grays arranged a corner for gifts, and Aiden’s gift was placed last. Like the family feast each year, Angelina’s family left shortly after under everyone’s mocking gazes. Aiden walked outside alone after the hotel gate. Angelina looked at his back and called out to him, “Get in the car!” When Aiden heard her, he turned around, not expecting that. Linda had a disgusted look on her face, but she didn’t object. On the way home, the three people in the car didn’t say a single word. Aiden sat in the back and looked out the window quietly. Suddenly, the car pulled to a halt, and Aiden instinctively raised his head. He looked around and noticed that they were in a traffic congestion. ”Go down and have a look! Check how far it goes,” Linda ordered. He immediately got out of the car and did as he was told. When he got closer, he found a group of people gathered around something. After he squeezed past the crowd, he realized the traffic congestion was due to a car accident. At that moment, he saw a woman squatting on the ground helping a man covered in blood. The woman was yelling helplessly, “Call an ambulance! Someone, call an ambulance!” Aiden looked at the man in the woman’s arms and rushed forward to squat down beside her. The woman was startled when Aiden rushed forward suddenly. “What are you doing?” “Saving this man!” Aiden said curtly. “Are you a doctor?” The woman asked in surprise when she heard his words. “If you keep talking, he will die!” Aiden said with a frown. He could tell that the man was bleeding profusely at one glance. The woman was taken aback by his demeanor and handed the man to Aiden without a word of protest. Aiden laid the man down and thought to himself, Consider yourself lucky that you bumped into me! If something like this had happened days before, Aiden would’ve been helpless. But today, he received medical knowledge from his mysterious ancestor. Therefore, this man wasn’t destined to die! Time was running out, and he didn’t have time to waste. He had to use his internal energy because he didn’t have golden needles on hand! He was going to use his energy in the place of the needles. Aiden was just about to start when he heard Angelina’s voice, “Aiden, what are you doing?” Angelina approached him and looked at the scene in front of Aiden. When she realized he was taking too long to return to the car, she left the car in search of him. She immediately became angry when she got closer and saw him messing around with the man involved in a car accident. “You’re not a doctor. Why are you causing a scene!” Angelina berated him angrily. Aiden didn’t have time to reply to her. Instead, he tapped the man a few times, and blood flowed out of the man’s mouth. “Alright, the internal bleeding stopped. When the ambulance comes, get to the hospital and tell the doctors he needs a blood transfusion as soon as possible!” Aiden explained with a confident nod. “That’s all?” The woman looked at Aiden in disbelief. Then, she thought to herself, This guy can’t be a charlatan, can he? “Marcus, Marcus, are you okay?!” The woman was still suspicious of him, but the man on the ground gradually opened his eyes and mumbled some gibberish. “Honey, you’re awake!” The woman exclaimed in surprise. “Boy, thank you! Thank you!” The woman hurriedly thanked Aiden. “Thank you?” Angelina looked at Aiden in surprise. “Did you really save him?” “Remember what I said!” Aiden didn’t bother answering Angelica as he called out his reminder to the woman. As soon as he said that, an ambulance arrived at the scene. Aiden helped the doctor to lift the man into the ambulance before returning to Angelina’s side. “He looks like the eldest son of the Webbs!” “He really does!” “I didn’t expect this young man to be a doctor!” The crowd immediately began talking amongst themselves. Angelina was filled with rage by his dismissive attitude, and she commanded Aiden coldly, “Get back to the car!” This was probably just a stroke of luck, she thought to herself. How could she not know that Aiden had medical skills after three years of being married to him? She loathed him even more now. He might be incompetent but making a fool out of himself was unforgivable! Once they were back within the confines of their car, Angelina couldn’t help but ask, “Did you know what you were doing just now?” “What did he do?” Lina asked warily when she heard Angelina’s words. “He saved the young master of the Webbs family! Everyone was calling him a doctor!” Angelina said in annoyance. When Linda heard this, her expression changed, and she instantly whacked Aiden. Finally, she began cursing at him, “You useless boy! Do you know what you’ve done? If the young master of the Webbs dies, do you know that the whole of Keyland would be affected?” “Now you should just start praying that the young master of the Webbs will recover. What would you do if something happened to him? I shudder to imagine what we would have to endure if you dragged us into that mess!”
