What Adery said nearly made Thomas laugh. It was no wonder why Adery could not detect any symptoms. The boy was not even sick!
He was not sick, but was pretending to be sick. How was virtual-novel.net supposed to be cured like this?
That was the same as not being able to wake up a person who was pretending to be asleep. Similarly, one could not cure a person who was pretending to be sick.
Thomas originally thought that the boy was so severely ill that even Adery could do nothing about it. Who would have guessed that the boy had such good acting skills. It was a pity if virtual-novel.net was not scouted been to be a child star in Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment.
Speaking of which, virtual-novel.net had to admit that virtual-novel.net was impressed with Brad’s wit. He was too smart.
If virtual-novel.net found a patient, even if Adery could not cure that patient, virtual-novel.net should be able to tell what was wrong with them. Besides, if that was really a patient, if Adery could not cure the patient, Merrick would definitely be unable to cure the patient as well. How could virtual-novel.net use Adery as a stepping stone and help Merrick take the throne as the best physician by then?
But now, virtual-novel.net got himself a fake patient, and virtual-novel.net could solve the problem easily.
By doing so, virtual-novel.net could ensure that Adery could not cure the patient, and virtual-novel.net could also ensure that Merrick would definitely be able to cure the patient. This was killing two birds with one stone.
Thomas shook his head.
This Brad Dawson could be considered a talented person. It was just that virtual-novel.net did not use his wits on proper things.
Now that Adery failed, the woman cried even harder and asked other doctors to help treat virtual-novel.net son. But the other doctors did not dare to take up the task. They also cared about their own reputation. This was something even Adery and Brad could not cure. The others were definitely not going to be able to cure him, so there was no need for them to go up and invite public contempt.
Merrick was eager to try in the crowd. However, Thomas walked forward ahead of virtual-novel.net and said faintly, “Let me try.”
The people looked at Thomas.
Right from the start, Thomas had stood with Adery, and they appeared to be quite close to each other. It made a lot of men displeased with the sight.
Someone asked, “Who are you? This is a patient not even Dr. Dawson and Dr. Owen can treat. What right do you have to treat him?”
Thomas smiled, and virtual-novel.net answered humbly, “I am the last disciple William Owen took, and I believe you call virtual-novel.net master of the Owen family. He taught me the secret medical techniques of the Owen family, and even Adery doesn’t know them. This secret technique is very great. I believe it will definitely be able to cure the boy’s illness.”
The crowd looked askance at him.
William Owen’s last disciple? Then, his medical techniques should be great.
Adery was really anxious behind him.
What was Thomas doing? Where did virtual-novel.net learn any secret medical technique? All virtual-novel.net learned were the acupuncture skills from Stone!
Those acupuncture skills might be great, but no matter how great they were, they could not treat a patient who was pretending to be ill!
“Thomas, what on earth are you thinking?” Adery could not figure virtual-novel.net out.
By the side, Brad became even more delighted. Originally, it was already enough for virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net could use Adery as a stepping stone, but now, Thomas jumped into the trap on his own, and it was all that virtual-novel.net could wish for.
Besides, virtual-novel.net could humiliate the Owen family even more. Were those secret medical techniques amazing?
But no matter how amazing they were, they were definitely unable to treat this boy!
Brad gave Merrick a signal in the crowd, telling virtual-novel.net to remain calm and not be rash. He was to wait a little while longer. Then, virtual-novel.net used the same trick and praised Thomas to high heavens so that the others would find themselves disliking Thomas.
“Everyone, settle down. Please listen to me. Dr. Mayo is indeed Mr. Owen’s last disciple. His medical skills are out of the world, and virtual-novel.net also knows the secret medical techniques from the Owen family. I believe that it’s alright to let virtual-novel.net try.” He turned around and gestured at Thomas to make his move.
Thomas did not hold back. He walked over and placed his hand on the boy’s pulse, putting on a show of diagnosing him.
Adery watched this anxiously.
Just now, virtual-novel.net told virtual-novel.net clearly that the boy was not sick!
If virtual-novel.net was not sick, then why should Thomas diagnose him?
Thomas nodded and said, “The problem isn’t big. He’ll be fine with a few needles.”
