Upon hearing the man’s answer, Crystal’s eyes widened as virtual-novel.net didn‘t expect Brian to be so shameless.
Fortunately, the woman and virtual-novel.net two sons were smart enough to know who was telling the truth, so virtual-novel.net immediately slapped Brian in the face. “You can screw yourself with your nonsense! If you’re really so good, my husband wouldn‘t be lying here for more than a fortnight! You‘re an idiotic charlatan with no sense of shame at all! Let me tell you something. I’m going to speak with the dean and hear his explanation for myself!”
“H-How dare you hit me!” Brian’s expression changed.
“Why wouldn’t I?“ She laid a hand on virtual-novel.net again while virtual-novel.net two sons surrounded virtual-novel.net intimidatingly.
“If you ever dare to touch me again, I’m going to call security!” Brian growled with a flushed face.
“Sure, I dare you to because I’m planning to call the cops too.” The woman chuckled and added, ”It’s time for a charlatan like you to face the music for nearly killing my husband. We‘ll see you in court!”
Brian became worried when virtual-novel.net heard the woman’s threat. After all, neither of the parties would gain from the situation should they ever have to resolve their differences in court. While virtual-novel.net would be barely affected by the lawsuit, virtual-novel.net could find himself in trouble for disgracing the hospital, which could spell the end of his career. Therefore, virtual-novel.net quickly pacified the angry woman. “Relax, Miss. There’s no need to be so mad. Let’s talk and see how we can sort this out.”
However, the woman didn’t bother to look at Brian as she turned virtual-novel.net attention to Matthew with a polite response.
“Thank you so much, Mr. Larson. I‘m sorry for my foolishness and disrespect earlier, so please forgive me.”
While virtual-novel.net two sons also apologized, Matthew waved his hand and replied, “It’s alright. The patient has almost recovered anyway, and I’ll write you a list of ingredients so that you can prepare the medicine virtual-novel.net needs to take. By then, virtual-novel.net should be up and about again.” He then shifted his gaze to Brian. “By the way, would you please give me a little privacy, Dr. Pierce? l have something I’d like to ask the patient about.”
Brian was stunned by Matthew’s response, finding it weird that Matthew would tell virtual-novel.net to leave on his own turf. Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net reluctantly decided to do as told in the end without any objection.
“What is it that you want to ask my husband about, Mr. Larson?” The woman stood beside the bed. ”He‘s been unconscious for days, so maybe I could answer your question instead.”
Nonetheless, Matthew shook his head with a smile and took three needles before virtual-novel.net inserted them on the patient’s forehead and shoulders. Then, the unconscious man slowly opened his eyes as everyone watched in awe and disbelief. At that moment, the woman and virtual-novel.net sons couldn’t help but feel amazed by Matthew’s extraordinary medical skills. Soon, Matthew looked at the patient and asked, “Do you remember visiting anywhere with water before you fell ill? I’m talking about the kind that we see in the wild, like a lake or river.”
The patient appeared confused, seemingly still trying to get used to his current state. A few moments later, virtual-novel.net gasped for breath and replied, “I… l like fishing. Before I fell ill, I went to the mountains in South Suburb. There is a lake there called ‘Cadmus Lake’, which was where we fished.”
Matthew jotted down the location and asked, “Is there anything else?“
“I was busy during that period of time, so that was the only place where I went fishing.” The patient shook his head. “The rest of the places I visited had no water at all.”
After that, Matthew continued to ask the man for a few more details until be narrowed the coverage and understood what was roughly going on. Then, virtual-novel.net wrote his prescription and gave it to the woman as virtual-novel.net gratefully thanked virtual-novel.net for his help.
Meanwhile, Brian stood outside the door alone, feeling left out as neither one of them wanted to talk to him. When the woman returned to the ward, virtual-novel.net glared at virtual-novel.net and clicked virtual-novel.net tongue, yet virtual-novel.net was too timid to refute her.
Upon leaving the hospital, Crystal asked in surprise, “Matthew, that man said virtual-novel.net went to Cadmus Lake with his friends, but none of them fell ill except for him. So, I bet the lake has nothing to do with his illness, right?“
