Everyone turned to look. It was an unfamiliar man who had spoken just now.
Naturally, it was Zeke.
Master Healer Low threw him a side-glance and asked with disdain, “Who are you? Are you part of the Hans family? I do not have to explain myself to outsiders.”
Jeffrey quickly stepped in and introduced, “Everyone, this is Zeke Williams, the man whom I’ve told you all about. He is known as the Divine Doctor, Dr. Williams. I’m confident he can help to cure Sir’s illness.”
“Ridiculous!” Master Healer Lowe bellowed.
“If you got me here, why did you engage someone else?” He asked.
“Do you not trust my skills? If that is so, I say that we forget it. I will never treat someone who does not trust my practice!”
Master Healer Lowe was ready to walk out as he said this.
Everyone in the Han family panicked when they saw this and quickly grabbed him by his hand.
Meanwhile, Shannon gritted her teeth and glared at the two. “Jeffrey, this is a family matter. Who said you could step in?”
“Master Healer Lowe, you do not have to care about these two people. Jeffrey is just a senior. He is not a part of the family. He does not have the right to interfere. Also, the man he got here is a quack. I will never allow him to treat my father.”
Upon hearing this, Master Healer Lowe stopped in his tracks and said, “A quack like him can never be in the same room as me. It is humiliating. Get someone to kick him out of here.”
Jeffrey instantly turned frantic as he jumped to Zeke’s rescue. “Shannon, you have to believe me. Mr. Williams will definitely be able to save your father! If it were not for him, I would have been dead by now!”
Shannon yelled back, “Jeffrey, do you think I didn’t look into him? Zeke Williams is no one but an ex-convict. This man has been to prison.”
“A year ago, he was left on the altar during his wedding ceremony with Emily Clemons because he could not afford three hundred thousand as dowry. Under those circumstances, he turned to marry the bridesmaid instead. After that, he bummed around for another year and just leeched off his wife. This man has achieved nothing to date! A loser like him can never treat my father’s chronic illness. This is ridiculous.”
As Shannon continued, the Han family started an uproar in anger and pushed the blame to Jeffrey.
“Jeffrey, how can you get such a bad doctor to treat your teacher! What were you thinking?”
“Hmph, I suppose you are just malicious. What do you gain if your teacher dies?”
“Sigh, your teacher treated you so well for all these years. How can you return his favor in such a manner? How can you forget all he has done for you to groom you into the man you are today?”
“Uhh...” Jeffrey could no longer defend himself and was instantly speechless.
Meanwhile, Zeke stated coldly, “This is ridiculous. I didn’t know there was a correlation between my personal life and my medical skills!”
Master Healer Lowe challenged, “Oh? So are you saying you are very good at what you do? Why don’t you tell me what’s wrong with the patient then? Why’s he unconscious even after so many years?”
Zeke asserted, “Simple. It’s because of a parasitic infection. He was infected by a poisonous parasite commonly found in wild cordyceps. After taking it, he turned unconscious and has been a vegetable for the past few decades.”
“What a load of rubbish!” Master Healer Lowe banged his fists on the table.
“It seems like we’ve overestimated you when we said that you were a quack. To me, you are not even a doctor! You are just a practitioner of black magic!”
Zeke remained unfazed and let out a laugh. “Well, why don’t you tell me what’s wrong with the patient then?”
Master Healer Lowe replied, “Sure, I will show you how you are wrong. Due to unknown reasons, his blood vessels have hardened. This caused insufficient blood flow to his brain, and as a result, his cerebrum has been damaged.”
“I am going to alternate the use of hot water and alcohol to massage his vessels. When the coldness of the alcohol and the hotness of the water interacts, his blood vessels will return to normal. By using my unique massage skills, the vessels will soften themselves. When there is enough blood flow to his brain, he will slowly recover.”
“I guarantee that he will awake within two months,” He stated smugly.
However, Zeke shook his head and scorned, “You will kill him if you do that. Parasites are the most sensitive to alcohol. The hotness and coldness will only provoke it and make it much more active.”
“I guarantee that the patient will vomit blood, lose blood, and his pupils will dilate. The parasite will then expel itself out of his body. By then, there will be no hope left for the patient.”
