Chapter: 1460

Carrington approached with a grave face, took the child, who appeared to be about four years old, and gently pinched his face to examine him.

The woman sobbed, “My son was eating a peach by himself, and I didn't notice when he swallowed the pit."

As Carrington continued his examination, Norah took the boy, placed one hand above his navel, clenched it into a fist, and with her other hand, patted his belly forcefully.

The woman screamed frantically, "What are you doing? I asked for Dr. Lee's help. Why are you interfering? You're delaying the treatment! Oh, my poor son."

Carrington intervened, "Don't interrupt her. Your son has a peach pit stuck in his throat. Are you not familiar with the Heimlich maneuver, a common emergency technique to remove obstructions from the throat?"

The woman, terrified for her son's well-being, was too agitated to think about the validity of the first aid technique. She could only cover her mouth with her hands, tears streaming down her cheeks.

After Norah patted the child's back several times, the child coughed and spat out the small peach pit.

The woman was overwhelmed with both relief and frustration, pulling her sobbing child to her side and giving him a gentle reprimand.

"Didn't I warn you to be careful while eating? What if this had been worse? What would we do then?"

After venting her feelings, she wiped away her tears, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Thank you, Dr. Lee, and thank you too, miss."

She embraced her child tightly, the joy of his safety touching everyone around.

After the mother and child left, Joanna expressed her feelings vividly. "This is what true maternal love looks like! It makes me miss my mom."

Susanna bit her lip, thinking of her mother who was very fond of Nancy. She found herself at a loss for words.

Susanna's mother used to show her a lot of affection, but now she seemed to care more for Nancy, as well as for her career and public image.

All the affection seemed to have faded, leaving them as close strangers who remained quiet in each other's presence.

Carrington praised, "Master, you're incredible, and I appreciate that you did it considering my age. Bradshaw, did you catch that just now?"

He had figured out a solution but hadn't had the chance to act before Norah intervened. Still, he had no ill feelings, thankful for Norah's considerate actions.

Bradshaw nodded. “Master, you've already taught me about it. I'm familiar with the first aid techniques and basic life-saving methods."

The widespread availability of the internet has helped disseminate knowledge of these first aid techniques. Some people might forget them in a moment of panic, while others have managed to save lives thanks to this readily accessible information.

Norah then seized the opportunity to mention another reason for her visit.

"Carrington, could you examine my two friends? I want to see if your medical skills have improved over the years."

Carrington stood tall, realizing he hadn't been mistaken. Norah had brought her friends to test his medical expertise, and he needed to make a good impression.

“Of course."

Joanna and Susanna promptly offered their hands for Carrington to examine, clearly aware of Norah's intentions, and they cooperated fully.
