In front of the villa. Joseph was confused. “Mr. Larson, you… shouldn’t speak to Old Mrs. Graham like that.”
“Why not?” Matthew asked.
Joseph softly said, “She only speaks cruelly because she’s anxious about her son’s illness. She’s actually a nice person. Besides, she has great connections all over Eastcliff, even Mr. Newman has to treat her respectfully. Mr. Graham is in charge of a few banks around Eastcliff, so many companies have to rely on him. Furthermore, your wife runs a pharmaceutical company so she has a lot of businesses to do with banks. If you grab the opportunity and make friends with the Grahams, a lot of things would be much easier for you!”
Hearing this, Matthew smiled as he continued, “So what? When she comes to beg me later, she’ll definitely forget what I said before!”
Joseph was in a daze. “Mr. Larson, are you sure that she’ll do that?”
“She may not come if it was any other doctor. However, now that Dr. Ellis has entered her home, she’ll definitely come and beg me!”
“Why is that so?” Joseph was surprised.
With a faint smile, Matthew replied, “Have you noticed Dr. Ellis’s hands?”
Joseph shook his head in reply.
With a serious expression, Matthew said, “Dr. Ellis carries an acupuncture bag everywhere he goes. This means that he is a master of acupuncture. His left middle finger and ring finger are slightly callused. This tells me that he usually uses these two fingers to hold needles. Most people don’t use these two fingers in acupuncture. The only method that uses these two fingers is the twisting needle method.” Hearing this, Joseph was stunned. He remembered that someone had mentioned to him before that Dr. Ellis indeed used this method. Even Joseph wasn’t aware, and he never thought that Matthew could judge it from Dr. Ellis’s fingers alone.
Then, Matthew continued, “I haven’t entered the house, but I basically know about Mr. Graham’s condition. Although he usually looks pretty healthy, other than being unable to have children, he has nose bleeds every first half of the month.”
Hearing this, Joseph shockingly asked, “H-How did you know?” Joseph knew best about Mr. Graham’s condition, so Matthew’s guess was right.
With a faint smile, Matthew responded, “With Dr Ellis’s twisting needle method and his impetuous behavior, he will definitely misdiagnose Mr. Graham’s condition and use the twisting needle method to treat him. However, this is precisely the biggest mistake he’ll ever make. Not only do I know that he’ll use that method, I can even foresee that the first three needles he’ll insert will be on in the LI11, BL26 and BL23 point. Once these three needles are inserted, the suppressed blood clot inside Mr. Graham’s body will be shaken and he’ll definitely vomit blood!” Mr. Harrison was dumbfounded. Mr. Larson’s analysis is shocking. However, is this really accurate? He made such predictions without even meeting Mr. Graham, which made it hard for me to believe him! “By the way, I heard that you mentioned a medical exchange conference. What is it?” Matthew suddenly asked.
“Oh, it’s a conference that gathers doctors from the six southern states. It is a major event in the medical field where practitioners get to test their medical skills together. It’s held once a year and they will be ranked. Our state has ranked last for the past few years. I believe Dr. Ellis’s return is to join this medical exchange conference!”
Matthew was stunned. I didn’t know that conferences like this exist. Maybe I should go and see it myself.
The two hadn’t stood there for long before they saw Old Mrs. Graham run out in a hurry.
“Old Mrs. Graham?!” Joseph exclaimed in shock.
She directly ran up to Matthew. Her face was pale as she fell to her knees and begged. “Oh, dear sir, please save my son! I beg you! Save my son…”
Seeing this, Joseph was dazed. Did Old Mrs. Graham just run out of the house and kneel before Mr. Larson?
