Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 1037

Soon, the police were escorting Melvin to the hospital while the hospital was on standby mode.

Nathan and Penny accompanied the old man to the hospital so he could diagnose the dying tester.

Melvin lived up to his reputation as the Master of Medicine. He concluded the tester wasn't ill because of the special meds. Instead, he had been poisoned.

"Poisoned?"

Nathan, Penny, and the medical staff gasped in horror.

Melvin nodded. "He has been poisoned with a rare substance. As this chemical is good at concealing itself, normal doctors have a problem detecting it. Besides, this poison can damage the liver by killing liver cells rapidly, causing the patient to die from hepatic failure."

Nathan's expression darkened instantly. "Looks like someone is framing us by poisoning the testers and blaming the deaths on the special meds. They're out to destroy our drug's reputation!"

Everyone was dumbfounded. Who would be that bold to harm the tester and place the blame on Cross Group?

Penny hurriedly inquired, "Professor Glades, you've successfully diagnosed the subject. Can you save him?"

Melvin chuckled. "Of course. Otherwise, why would I be known as the Master of Medicine?"

Everyone was relieved by his confident words.

Since the Master of Medicine could save the tester and clarify that it wasn't the fault of the medicine, the crisis was resolved.

Melvin acted swiftly and decisively. He prepared the antidote himself to save the dying patient.

By afternoon, the patient's condition had improved drastically and he regained consciousness.

Melvin grinned and told Nathan and Penny, "Two days later, the poison in his body will be flushed out completely. He'll recover by then."

Nathan and Penny thanked Melvin gratefully for his help.

Melvin was overjoyed to be praised by the General and his wife.

Suddenly, Nathan's phone rang.

The call was from an unknown number.

Nathan answered, "Hello, who is this?"
