Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss Chapter 1245

Chapter 1245: Chapter 1217: Experts Compete (Four Updates) Chapter 1245: Chapter 1217: Experts Compete (Four Updates) Although Andrew Farmstead was quite good at Chinese, he had a hard time understanding all this stuff. He seemed to understand each word when they were separated, but all put together, it was…

“Junior Sister, what did you say about a dog?” He didn't understand anything else but felt that the last word was not very nice.

Kiara smiled gently and harmlessly, “What I meant was, if I don't study hard with Senior Brother, then I'm a 'little dog.' See, aren't the two characters for 'dog' right next to each other?”

Huh, it doesn't seem wrong, but why does it feel strange?

Edward Farmbright silently noted this phrase. He decided he would go back and ask the Marbled Cat Clan who was proficient in classical literature to see what they thought. Of course, knowing the answer later almost killed him with anger, but that's a story for later.

For now, Edward Farmbright was in full Green Tea mode, and Kiara was playing her hand well in the “pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger” game. The two had their first clash.

Yuzo Joel's goal was to make sure Kiara, during the months she was pregnant, didn't come into contact with anything too strenuous or mentally taxing. He advocated for a guiding approach. Therefore, Edward Farmbright treated their first formal meeting as a warm-up and didn't plan to make it too difficult for her. He just wanted to show Kiara a bit of his prowess and let this little girl know how formidable her Senior Brother was.

Their destination was still the same Maternal and Child Health Hospital as before. Edward Farmbright took over one of Kiara's classes. In fact, he had previously come here to substitute for the Master and conduct a lecture on end-of-life care. Kiara had avoided attending that time and missed the chance to meet him, sending Isaac instead.

Isaac came back with high praise, saying that Yuzo Joel's top disciple lived up to his reputation. He had the ability to explain extremely complex issues in simple terms, a mark of true talent, and Isaac was extremely impressed.

Kiara also made a comparison in her heart when she arrived. Academically, she was definitely far behind Edward Farmbright, who had been studying all age groups' psychological characteristics thoroughly under Yuzo Joel. For example, conducting parent-child games for toddlers, Kiara needed to study Joel's notes in advance, but for Farmbright, it came naturally, and he was surely much more skilled than she was.

But Kiara also felt a bit defiant. She thought she wasn't necessarily worse off in the areas she excelled in. This was her assessment before coming.

However, once she actually listened to Edward Farmbright's class and saw the segments he designed, she was surprised.

It was much better than she had thought.

She could tell that he was a disciple of Yuzo Joel. His approach and the notes Joel had given Kiara shared similarities, yet there were differences. He had incorporated some of his own ideas, and Kiara instantly lost her confidence.

It seemed that amongst the strong, there would always be someone stronger. A talent would always stand behind a talent. The difference between her capabilities and his was not small, and she wondered how long it would take her to catch up.

While Farmbright was demonstrating, he also spared a bit of attention to secretly observe Kiara, noticing her sitting quietly and listening attentively without revealing anything. A bad idea bubbled up inside him, and his mind was filled with thoughts on how to intimidate this little girl.

After the session ended, Farmbright approached Kiara and asked, “So, Junior Sister, is there anything you didn't understand that you need me to–”
“Professor Nong Thompson! Dr. Clark!” The head of the Hospital's Pediatrics Department came over, interrupting the conversation between Kiara and Farmbright.

Accompanying him was a woman holding a baby, who appeared to be just about a month old.

“Sorry to disturb you two, but I need a favor. This is a friend of mine, she has some issues that really require an expert's opinion, and since you're both here, could you please help out?”

Kiara quickly scanned the woman holding the child, assessing her dress and demeanor, and knew as clear as day – this must be a connected family from the city, wealthy and prestigious. Such people have a peculiar trait; even when an outpatient doctor could resolve their issue, they insist on pulling strings to see a specialist for peace of mind.

“Don't be polite, please state your request,” Farmbright said with a very warm smile, but inside, he scoffed.

Usually, he wouldn't deal with such messy matters. He wasn't willing to work on something that didn't pay–but he saw this as an opportunity to show off in front of his beloved junior sister.

Kiara saw Edward Farmbright's smile that didn't reach his eyes and almost reflexively thought of the two words Aka had said: green tea!

“It's like this, our child has been crying every night since birth. We've also done a thorough physical examination, and there's nothing lacking, the body is fine, but they keep on crying non-stop. We've even tried all sorts of methods to stop the nighttime crying to no avail. Do you two experts have any good solutions?”

This matter was a piece of cake for Edward Farmbright, and he was interested in testing Kiara, so he asked her.

“Junior Sister, do you have any good methods?”

Kiara actually had an idea; she knew what to do, but she purposely wanted to see Edward Farmbright's approach, so she put on a modest face.

“Please enlighten me, Senior Brother.”

Their conversation was particularly interesting. Not only was it full of literary grace, but Edward Farmbright spoke to Kiara in English, and Kiara responded to him entirely in Chinese. Both were being just a touch overly sentimental, as if they had watched too many time-travel dramas.

Was this hiding their true knowledge or truly ignorant? Edward Farmbright's attempt to intimidate Kiara didn't elicit the desired response; his attempt to get Kiara to show humility was deflected back at him with gentle politeness. The person holding the child was waiting right there; he couldn't just ignore her, so he asked the woman.

“Do you have a nursery at home? Does the child sleep with you or in the nursery?”

“There is a separate nursery, but he won't sleep in it. He has to be held and keep crying until he gets tired and falls asleep.”

“Is the nursery quiet?”

“Very quiet. Our house's glass is soundproof. It was shipped from far away and is very expensive.”

Hearing this, Edward Farmbright had a good idea, “Go back and get a roll of white noise tape to play for the child before sleep, don't keep it too quiet for now.”

Seeing the woman looked puzzled, Edward Farmbright explained, “This is to imitate the environment in the mother's womb. The sound the child hears in their mother's body is similar to white noise. Too much noise can make them feel insecure, and don't let them sleep in a space that's too open. You can slightly tilt his body so his little feet can touch the sides of the crib, giving him an environment similar to the womb which can make him feel more secure.”

He spoke in English, and Kiara translated. After hearing the explanation, the woman nodded again and again.

Kiara noticed that what Edward Farmbright said was almost exactly what she knew – he indeed was an all-rounder authority in the Psychiatry Department. The woman kept thanking them, and insisted on treating Kiara and Edward Farmbright to a meal, which both politely declined.

Kiara noticed the woman yawned several times while talking, apparently looking quite exhausted.

Seeing that the two declined, the woman didn't persist. After thanking them repeatedly, she left.

After leaving the hospital, Edward Farmbright asked Kiara, “Regarding what just happened, do you have any thoughts or insights?”

Not having been able to assess Kiara's level this time, he was a bit unsatisfied and took the opportunity to continue inquiring.

“I think it might be somatic anxiety,” Kiara replied.

“The likelihood of a baby having that is about the same as you getting killed by a meteorite on your way walking,” Edward Farmbright retorted to Kiara, thinking she was really something else. Spouting nonsense confidently as if it were fact!
