Chapter 67: Chapter 67 - Fatal Countdown
In fact, Jack Schultz was also extremely displeased with Matias Howe’s attitude, but since Matias had just helped him, it was really not appropriate for him to turn against the doctor.
At this moment, hearing my words, Jack Schultz secretly praised me in his heart.
Matias Howe sneered, "You doubt my diagnosis? On what ground? Your fraudulent traditional medicine?"
I coldly said, "Don’t think that just because you’ve been abroad for a few years, you’ve seen it all. I’ve met many people like you!"
"As for whether it’s a scam or not, it’s not for you to judge."
After dropping these words, I looked at Jack Schultz and said, "Mr. Schultz, please allow me to have a look at your wife. What do you think?"
"Mr. Schultz, do you think there is a need for that?" Matias Howe’s tone carried a subtle threat.
Jack Schultz’s face showed embarrassment as he forced himself to say, "Since he’s here, let Mr. Raymond take a look."
"Take a look?" Matias Howe’s face darkened as he snorted, "In that case, you don’t need me. Let him treat your wife!"
Jack Schultz’s expression immediately turned ugly.
To treat his wife, Jack Schultz had already gone to great lengths. This time, he had pulled countless strings to invite Matias Howe. If Matias were to refuse treatment now, Jack wouldn’t know what to do.
"Mr. Schultz, just return the medicine bottle to him. There’s more than one doctor in the world," I said coldly.
Jack Schultz forced a bitter smile, thinking I wasn’t considering his predicament. If it were that simple, why bother inviting Matias Howe in the first place?
"Mr. Schultz." I saw that Jack Schultz remained unmoved, so I stepped forward.
I earnestly said, "I promise you that I will definitely cure your wife’s illness."
The medical knowledge I possessed was nearly all-encompassing. It wasn’t enough to bring someone back from the dead, but almost everything else was within my capabilities. As a result, I felt fully confident.
But Jack Schultz appeared worried, and Connor Schultz beside him grew even more anxious. "No, dad, we can’t take this risk!"
Jack Schultz’s brows furrowed, his face filled with indecision.
Just then, I suddenly swung my arm, and a fierce gust of wind shot straight toward Jack Schultz!
"Crack!"
The medicine bottle in Jack Schultz’s hand shattered instantly! The medicine spilled all over the floor!
Seeing this, Connor Schultz became furious and exclaimed, "What are you doing!"
I calmly replied, "Since Mr. Schultz doesn’t know how to decide, I’ll help him choose."
Jack Schultz opened his mouth, anger rising inside him, but he couldn’t express it.
"Since it’s come to this, I can only ask Mr. Raymond to take a look," Jack Schultz sighed.
Not far away, Matias Howe sneered, "Mr. Schultz, this will be the biggest mistake you make in your life."
I ignored him and strode toward Jack Schultz’s bedroom.
Upon opening the door, I saw a pale-faced woman lying in bed. She appeared extremely weak, even having difficulty speaking.
I didn’t say a word and with two steps, I was by the woman’s side.
"Mrs. Schultz, please relax," I said politely.
After speaking, I slowly raised my hand and placed it on her forehead.
"Is this called medical treatment?" Matias Howe couldn’t help but sneer.
Worry began to grow in Jack Schultz’s heart. Since his wife fell ill, he had sought medical advice from countless doctors, both Chinese and Western, but he had never seen such a treatment method.
"If anything happens to my mom, I swear I’ll fight you!" Connor Schultz threatened through gritted teeth.
I kept quiet, just keeping my hand on the woman’s head. A few minutes later, I finally removed it.
"Mr. Raymond, how is it?" Jack anxiously asked.
Instead of answering Jack, I fixed my eyes coldly on Matias Howe.
"As I thought, you’re useless," I said dismissively.
Matias’s face darkened with anger. "What did you say? You called me useless? I’ve been studying abroad for years, and now..."
"Even after a hundred years of studying, you’ll still be useless," I interrupted icily.
"You claimed Mrs. Schultz had low blood sugar, but that was utter nonsense! How many people have to suffer because of quacks like you?" I yelled.
Matias’s face turned ugly as he gritted his teeth. "How dare you criticize me? Fine, if it isn’t low blood sugar, then tell her what the problem is!"
I sneered, "It’s a brain aneurysm."
Although I was not a doctor, I could clearly sense the anomaly in Mrs. Schultz’s head. There was a tiny black spot in her artery, and I couldn’t think of any other condition besides a brain aneurysm.
But Matias couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Kid, do you even know what you’re saying? If she had a brain aneurysm, wouldn’t the hospital have found it? Hahaha!" Matias continued to laugh loudly.
Jack furrowed his brow. "That’s true... we’ve had so many tests at the hospital and they never found an aneurysm..."
I spoke solemnly, "The brain aneurysm is still very small, perhaps just recently formed. Otherwise, I’m afraid Mrs. Schultz would have passed away long ago."
"You’re spouting nonsense!" Connor could no longer hold back his anger, stepping forward and shouting, "Get out! If you dare curse my mom again, I won’t let you off!"
"You dare disrespect Mr. Raymond? You’re courting death!" Victor Green stepped forward, ready to make a move.
I held out a hand to stop Victor.
I looked at Jack and said, "Mr. Schultz, please make a decision on this matter."
"Mr. Schultz, if you kick him out now, I can give you another bottle of medicine." Matias calmly took out another bottle from his bag.
Jack hesitated once again, unsure what to do. One was a doctor who had studied abroad, while the other had no formal medical education and couldn’t even be considered a doctor... Given the choice, most people would choose the former.
After much thought, Jack bowed to me and sighed, "Mr. Raymond, please don’t blame me. I love my wife dearly, and I can’t afford to take such a risk..."
Matias laughed triumphantly. "Hahaha, kid, did you hear that? Get the hell out!"
I sighed and forced a smile.
"Mr. Schultz, I don’t blame you," I shook my head, understanding Jack’s desperation to protect his wife.
"But I have to warn you." I sighed and continued, "Mrs. Schultz has only three hours left. After three hours, even a Golden Immortal couldn’t save her."
"Nonsense, Mr. Schultz, don’t listen to his ramblings!" Matias yelled.
Jack bowed to me once more. "I’ll keep your words in mind, Mr. Raymond."
"Truly blind," Victor couldn’t help but snort.
Then, we left the Schultz family residence.
Once outside, Victor couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Raymond, does Mrs. Schultz really have only three hours left?"
I nodded and said, "I know a little about the occult, and her acupoint in the middle of the nose has turned black. She has at most three hours left."
