Per their agreement, today was the day they were going to treat Brittany’s illness.
Inside the car, Joseph looked apologetic. “Mr. Larson, my sincerest apologies. I warned Crystal not to disturb you, but virtual-novel.net refused to listen to me. To be honest, virtual-novel.net wants to apologize to you as virtual-novel.net knows that what virtual-novel.net did before made you despise her. She is trying to turn over a new leaf. For that reason, virtual-novel.net is determined to train herself from the beginning again. Mr. Larson, please let me know if virtual-novel.net inconveniences you in any way. I will drag virtual-novel.net home immediately!”
Matthew had no choice but to respectfully give in since Joseph had gone so far as to reassure him. Thus, virtual-novel.net casually replied, “It’s fine! It’s great if virtual-novel.net can learn from virtual-novel.net mistakes.”
Soon, they arrived at Billy’s villa.
Billy was already waiting for them in the front hall. As soon as virtual-novel.net saw Matthew, virtual-novel.net greeted virtual-novel.net immediately. “Mr. Larson, I’ve prepared the Fruit of Mandala as per your instructions.”
Nodding, Matthew walked into the ward where Billy’s daughter, Brittany, was still lying on the bed. Although virtual-novel.net had woken up, virtual-novel.net body was still very weak. As the disease virtual-novel.net had was an unmentionable disease, virtual-novel.net had not given virtual-novel.net a lot of medicine. For that reason, virtual-novel.net was still not fully cured.
The Fruit of Mandala was placed on a table nearby. Moreover, there were other herbs and medicinal ingredients that Matthew had asked for too. Joseph himself had personally searched for and selected the ingredients through careful inspection. Thus, each and every ingredient was of the highest quality.
Then, Matthew placed the medicinal ingredients together, mashed them with a mortar, placed them into a medicinal pot, and slowly boiled them. After approximately 30 minutes, the smell of medicine wafted in the air. Pouring out the medicine, virtual-novel.net placed the Fruit of Mandala into the medicinal liquid.
Meanwhile, everybody had been watching the entire process intently. To their surprise, the Fruit of Mandala reacted like ice dropped into hot water, it instantly dissolved into the liquid.
“H-How?!” Joseph exclaimed in astonishment. Although the Fruit of Mandala looked like a normal fruit, it was actually extremely hard. Even with a mortar, there was no way to break apart the fruit. Yet now, the medicinal liquid had completely dissolved the fruit!
In response, Matthew smiled. “Everything in this world reacts and counteracts with each other. The entire Fruit of Mandala is completely made of medicine. Therefore, if one were to boil it through normal means, its medicinal properties would not be utilized fully. The medicinal effect of the fruit will then be greatly reduced. Only by using this method to completely dissolve the Fruit of Mandala and turn it into medicine can we obtain the greatest medicinal effect from the fruit.”
Joseph was shocked. If virtual-novel.net had not seen Matthew working, virtual-novel.net would never have known about this method. As the Fruit of Mandala completely dissolved, the medicinal liquid within the bowl changed color. It was originally black, but now it turned a bright red, as red as blood and gave off a strange sense of beauty to it.
Afterward, Matthew took out his needles and made Brittany sit up straight. Taking out three silver needles with one hand, virtual-novel.net stuck them into the three vital spots located at the top of virtual-novel.net head, at the same time.
However, virtual-novel.net did not look discomforted, a master acupuncturist would not cause his patients to feel any pain whatsoever. Then, virtual-novel.net spoke in a low voice, “Feed virtual-novel.net the medicine. Take one, no, two spoonsful.”
Thus, Billy personally took action and carefully fed Brittany two spoonful of the medicinal liquid.
Following that, Matthew took out another three needles and stuck them into the back of Brittany’s neck. “Feed virtual-novel.net again, two spoonful.”
Once again, Billy fed his daughter two spoonful of the medicinal liquid. The cycle continued until about an hour later when the medicinal liquid was finally finished. By then, there were more than a hundred needles all over Brittany’s body.
Standing by the side, Billy looked extremely anxious. “Mr. Larson, how is she? She finished the entire bowl of medicine. Is virtual-novel.net better now?”
Matthew smiled. “Don’t fret. Since virtual-novel.net was sick for such a long time, virtual-novel.net needs some time to recover. I think virtual-novel.net should be fine after half an hour.”
Then, Billy let out a breath of relief.
On the other hand, Joseph curiously asked, “Mr. Larson, why did you have to feed virtual-novel.net two spoonful of the medicine after every three needles? Couldn’t we have finished the acupuncture treatment before feeding virtual-novel.net the medicine?”
