The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 286
Nikolai hadn't arrived yet, but he'd already given the heads up to the folks at the
holistic heating center, so Collins and Leo found themselves ushered into the
lounge to wait
Collins fidgeted in his chair, casting anxious glances toward the door every few
seconds. Ever since his last hospital visit, he'd done his homework on this Nikolai
character. It turned out that the guy was even more of a big deal than his friends
had let on.
A scion of a holistic healing dynasty that stretched back a century, Nikolai was
renowned for his almost supernatural diagnostic skills. There were a few allments
he couldn't unravel. But a master of his standing rarely made house calls
anymore, and snagging an appointment him was like finding a four—leaf clover.
When Collins had reached out to Nikolai earlier, he wasn't sure what to expect.
However, the healer had agreed to see them without any fuss.
Collins turned to Leo, reiterating his earlier advice, “Leo, remember to mind your
manners, “okay? It's a real stroke of luck to have a holistic healing guru like him
take a look at you.”
Leo's face was partially obscured by a mask, and he mumbled an indistinct
acknowledgment.
At three on the dot, Nikolai finally made his entrance. An apprentice beckoned
Collins and Leo into Nikolai's private consultation room.
As the door closed behind them, Collins nodded respectfully at Nikolai before
gesturing toward Leo. “Nikolai, this here's my buddy.”
He hesitated before adding, “My friend, uh, he can't really take off his mask...”
Nikolai waved a dismissive hand. “No worries, let's have a seat first.”
Once Leo was seated at the examination table, Collins set down the stack of
papers he’d been carrying. “These are all my buddy's medical records from
overseas.”
Nikolai slipped on his glasses and began perusing the documents. After a few
minutes, he set. them aside. Without any preamble, he motioned for Leo to
extend his hand. After feeling Leo's pulse, Nikolai withdrew his hand, a slight
frown on his face. “Your pulse is peculiar. You've been poisoned recently, haven't
you?”
Collins paused, then said, “My friend hurt his bones a few months back. The docs
said it was. nothing serious, but then they found severe spinal nerve damage. As
for poison... well, they didn't catch that.”
Nikolai stroked his graying beard, pondering briefly. “Like I told you last time,
some poisons don’t show up in the early blood tests.”
Scratching his head, Collins asked, “So, you believe that poisoning caused his
condition? If we treat the poison, he'll make a full recovery?”
Nikolai peered at Collins skeptically. “The poison has already been treated.”
