Chapter 376 A Brief Check-up
Maybe it could have been due to the warm atmosphere or Eugene’s slightly different behavior, but Brian felt closer to him at that moment. Brian felt that Eugene was finally resembling the elder brother who played with him when they were younger.
Eugene patted Brian’s shoulder. “Just let Olivia have a look on you. Back then, when Grandpa’s illness was a critical point, she was the one who saved him.”
It wasn’t a forceful tone, but one that would convince people to believe him without any valid reasons.
At that moment, Brian felt like listening to Eugene—as if doing so on instinct.
Olivia also added, “Don’t worry, I’ll just have a look first. The most it’ll take is only ten minutes. If there’s nothing I can do about it, you won’t have to take any medication. However, if I have a way to treat it, I can definitely cure you!”
Upon looking at Eugene and Olivia, Brian finally and slowly sat down.
A smile appeared on her face as she pushed him down. “This is my first time meeting a patient like you. If it’s anyone else, I won’t be spending so much time.”
Eugene added with a smile, “You would have already pressed him down on the couch and performed acupuncture on him.”
Upon looking at him, Olivia gave him a thumbs up. “My boyfriend knows me the best.”
Eugene raised his eyebrows at her, revealing his vindictive expression.
Then, he looked at Brian and said wisely, “My girlfriend’s consultation fees are quite high, so don’t forget to transfer 5 million to her account later.”
A speechless Brian now understood why North refused to go shopping with them. He doesn’t want to be the third wheeler, of course. They are basically rubbing their love in our faces.
After joking with him to relieve the tense atmosphere, Olivia finally took his pulse.
She placed her slender fingers on his wrist and adjusted the force she exerted. For a while, her index finger would have a greater force as she pushed it down and sometimes her middle finger would be having the strength—a sign that she was thoroughly checking his condition.
However, her expression grew more serious. Why is he worse now when compared to the time when I treated him by the roadside?
Eugene was observing Olivia’s expression and became worried. “Why? Is his condition bad?”
Olivia remained silent all the while and released Brian’s hand after some time. “Have you gone for a full medical examination?”
Brian replied, “I will do it twice each year, but they couldn’t spot any problem. The report only shows that I have a low blood sugar.”
Olivia nodded. “However, it’s not just low blood sugar that will cause you to be dizzy. Have you sustained any head injuries when you were younger?”
Brian looked at Eugene with a blank expression.. “I don’t think so. I can’t remember anything.”
Eugene remained silent as he tried his best to recall the events that occurred when they were much younger. After a while, he answered, “I also can’t remember anything much clearly. There was once when Mom fought with Edward Nolan and you were thrown to the ground during their argument before immediately losing consciousness. Mom was frightened and brought you to the hospital, but you woke up not too long after that. You were around three or four years old at that time.”
Brian looked at her. “Are you saying that the reason why I sometimes faint is because of the injuries that I sustained when I was younger?”
She explained, “I’m merely suspecting that you sometimes have fainting episodes because someone is pressing on your cranial nerves, but the equipment couldn’t pick up on that. It might have formed after a long time. Perhaps the internal bleeding when you were younger was not completely absorbed by your bloodstream or maybe it is the side effects of medication that your mother took during her pregnancy with you. It might also be due to abdominal injuries that your mother sustained when she was pregnant. All these can cause this.”
Upon hearing that, Eugene couldn’t help but be nervous as well. “In that case, is there any solution?”
Once again, Olivia did not reply to him and instead asked Brian, “Does your fainting episodes happen more frequently when you are hungry or emotional?”
Brian nodded. “Yeah!”
She asked again, “Are there any other symptoms like headaches or convulsions?”
