"What?" Lucy's eyes widened instantly. She had no idea that her grandfather's condition had deteriorated to such an extent! It had only been three days!"How could it be that bad?" Lucy panicked. Although the Hill family was still functioning normally at the moment, Lucy was responsible for half of the family's business. However, the real linchpin of the Hill family lay in the man lying in bed!"Miss Hill, if you hadn't asked, I doubt anyone would have informed you. Based on my observations just now, the various indicators within Mister Hill's body have reached dangerously critical levels, and his organs are already showing signs of failure." Jimmy sighed."According to the previous examination results, including the fact that the old man's condition has deteriorated to this extent in such a short time, I deduce that he has been poisoned!"But in order to attempt treatment, we must locate the poison, which we have no way of doing."We don't even know the composition of the poi
After ten breaths passed, Liam suddenly moved just as Jimmy was about to mock. He lightly lifted his index finger, forming an arch shape, then struck down on Julian's wrist!Liam seemed gentle, but in that instant, a buzz seemed to scatter invisible sound waves everywhere! After the index finger came down, it was the middle finger and, finally, the ring finger! Up, middle, down! Three parts, nine beats! Liam's three fingers continuously struck Julian's wrist at a very strange frequency.If there were someone genuinely knowledgeable about ancient oriental medicine here, they would be stunned into silence in an instant! The pulse-taking technique Liam employed was long lost, only recorded in legendary ancient texts as the 'three parts, nine beats, pulse-shocking section'!As Liam continued to shock the pulse without stopping, a strange feedback entered his mind. "Indeed, it's poison." Liam slightly furrowed his brow. It had to be admitted that Western medicine did have its
Jimmy had been practicing medicine for decades. He had never experienced anything as incredible as this. The way Liam diagnosed the patient by pulse showed that his abilities were simply extraordinary, surpassing Jimmy's understanding entirely. How had Jimmy never heard of Liam before? Nevertheless, despite Jimmy's astonishment and confusion, Liam paid him no mind. He immediately placed his hand back on Julian's wrist. Although he had located the position of the poison, there were still other areas in Julian's body that still needed examination."Impressive, Grandmaster Burrey!" Lucy's eyes lit up at the scene before her. Since Liam had resumed his work, she did not dare interrupt him. She turned excitedly to Jimmy and said, "Mister Harker, now that you've found the poison in my grandfather, does that mean he can be saved?"Although Jimmy's shock had yet to dissipate, there was a hint of displeasure in his heart at Liam's disregard for him. However, as a doctor, he knew the pat
"What...?" Jimmy froze, turning sharply to gaze at Liam. "What... What do you mean by that?"Not only Jimmy but even Lucy hurriedly looked at Liam."Grandmaster Burrey, can you save my grandfather?" She sounded surprised. "But didn't Mister Harker say that my grandfather's condition has exceeded the scope of what the current medical system can cure?"Liam shook his head lightly. "But I never said that.""A life is at stake. You better not speak recklessly!" Jimmy stared, wide-eyed, at Liam. "Since you've found the source of the poisoning in Mister Hill, you should be aware of Mister Hill's physical condition!"With such a dire physical condition, along with the complex symptoms and poisons in his body, how can you cure his illness?" Jimmy simply did not believe Liam!If it were not for Liam pinpointing the poison's source through pulse diagnosis, Jimmy might have started cursing by now!He claimed he could do something even the Gods could not? Was he just saying whatever came
Liam gazed at Julian lying on the bed in the silent hospital room, taking a deep breath. Liam gently reached out his hand. Suddenly, the Harvest Union needle pouch appeared in his grasp. And then, he deftly opened it.In the dimly lit room, the faint glow emanating from the Harvest Union golden needles added a mysterious aura.Liam delicately picked out the longest golden needle in the pouch. From the very beginning, Liam had not considered surgical treatment. He had his own healing methods.However, Jimmy was partially correct. The toxin was incredibly complex. Despite the toxin sac being located in Julian's shinbone, it had already spread throughout his body, continuously proliferating.However, Jimmy did not know that neither sending Julian to Asterion for treatment nor the method he had suggested to stabilize Julian's vital signs upon locating the toxin would be of any use.Julian's condition was far more critical than Jimmy had realized.The toxin within Julian's body did
Meanwhile, Lucy anxiously paced back and forth outside the ward, worry etched on her face."I wonder how my grandfather is doing…"Since the ward's door had closed, Lucy felt like each day dragged on endlessly. As for Jimmy, who should have returned to Asterion long ago, it was unclear whether he stayed there out of concern for Julian's possible accident or to assist. Perhaps he was waiting to reprimand Liam, or maybe he harbored some unrealistic hope.Regardless, Jimmy did not choose to leave. He stood in the corridor alongside her."Miss Hill, there's no need to be overly anxious," Jimmy comforted. "Being anxious won't help. All we can do now is wait patiently. At least there haven't been any emergencies in the ward."Jimmy paused and sighed. Then, he softly advised, "However, the head of the Hill family is unwell. Miss Hill, you should be prepared for the worst at any time."Jimmy did not believe Liam could positively impact Julian's condition. He would be thankful if Liam d
"Grandmaster Burrey!"Lucy immediately turned around upon hearing Liam's voice. Overwhelmed with excitement, she dashed into Liam's embrace. Her slender figure, clad in the tight dress, pressed tightly against him."Grandmaster Burrey, thank you so much! My grandfather is fine! He's alright!"Tears of joy streamed down Lucy's face. Although she was confident in Liam, in reality, Lucy's heart was filled with uncertainty after hearing the opinions of numerous doctors—including Jimmy's recommendation. Asking Liam to treat Julian was merely a last resort. Initially, she hoped it would be enough for Liam to temporarily alleviate Julian's condition.Lucy never imagined that Liam would actually be able to cure Julian.Liam lowered his head, a faint fragrance lingering around him. "It's nothing."He reached out and patted Lucy's shoulder calmly as he continued, "Don't let your emotions fluctuate too much.""I'm sorry, Grandmaster Burrey." Lucy seemed to realize her own indiscretion.
However, even though his heart remained full of astonishment, Jimmy's mind was full of curiosity.He slowly turned to look at Liam, swallowed a gulp of saliva, and asked in a hoarse voice, "May I ask how exactly did you do it?"The renowned doctor in Hestia was unconsciously respectful when speaking to Liam.Liam answered, "It was nothing more than completely removing the toxins from his body."Liam did not pay attention to Jimmy's previous doubts. Or rather, he simply did not care."Mister Hill's condition is extremely poor. A slight move could affect his whole body. How can you ensure that while removing the toxins from Mister Hill's body, there won't be a reaction due to the spread of toxins?"Jimmy did not realize that his attitude became even more respectful, his eyes fixed on Liam without blinking.He even regarded Liam as a teacher at that moment, respectfully seeking advice!Liam turned to look at Julian lying on the bed and said lightly, "It's not difficult. You just n
