"I've read a few medical books."
Christian answered truthfully.
His medical skills were so exquisite, entirely due to his cultivation.
In fact, regarding medical pathology, he had only read a few medical books as well.
However, with his ability, as long as he had theoretical knowledge, he could turn theory into practice.
But Saskia didn't buy it, "What nonsense?"
"Claiming to be a divine doctor just because you've read a few medical books?"
"Then, having read a few novels about immortality, am I also an immortal?"
"What a bunch of nonsense..."
"Saskia!"
Before she could finish her criticism, Maryjane interrupted sharply, "Since Mr. Temple introduced Mr. West, I believe he can cure Grandpa."
"Right now, I'm in charge of the Keller Family, and I decide who treats Grandpa's illness!"
"Sister!"
But Saskia didn't see it that way and retorted with a pout, "This guy is clearly a fraud, probably in cahoots with Trash Temple!"
"You might have business acumen, but you're too naive about human relationships. Don't get fooled by him!"
"Actually, being swindled out of money is a minor issue, but what if he worsens Grandpa's condition? Can you bear that responsibility?"
"I..."
Maryjane hesitated, feeling even more uncertain after hearing Christian's words.
He had only read a few medical books; could he really handle it?
Yes.
There's no turning back the arrow on the bow; the situation had progressed to this point, and she had to go through with it.
"I trust Mr. Temple and believe even more in Mr. West."
"If something goes wrong, I'll take responsibility, you don't need to worry..."
"But he's my grandfather too!"
Saskia argued with reason.
Seeing her insistence, Maryjane pondered for a moment, then suddenly had an idea, "Okay, he can go in."
"But before he treats Grandpa, he needs to diagnose me first. If he can accurately identify any illness I have, I won't stop him. How about that?"
She was aware of her illness.
She had consulted many doctors, who said it was hard to cure and could only be managed.
Being young, it was a private matter she had never shared with anyone, including her best friends and mother.
Now, by making this request, she was clearly trying to trouble him.
After all, it was a difficult condition to diagnose, and even doctors needed precise instruments to identify it.
And this guy, just a fraudster, couldn't possibly diagnose it.
She wasn't interested in dealing with him herself, but if it would embarrass Maryjane, she'd be satisfied.
Whatever she insisted on, Saskia would oppose!
"Maryjane, don't go too far!"
Seeing her put forward such an unreasonable demand, Maryjane couldn't contain her anger.
This kind of ability to diagnose a disease at a glance was something no normal person could achieve.
Otherwise, what's the use of all those instruments?
She was about to retort but was stopped by Christian, "It's okay, Miss Keller. It's worth discussing."
"After all, I promised you, and you've already paid the consultation fee."
"But..."
He changed his tone.
Suddenly looking at the smug-faced Saskia, he asked, "Are you sure you want me to say it out loud?"
"Nonsense!"
Saskia straightened her posture, her chest heaving, and proudly said, "If I don't let you say it, how would I know if you are really skilled?"
"Or are you just a fraudster, now exposed, unable to say anything?"
"Then just leave, don't waste our time here!"
With that, she pointed to a group of dishevelled doctors in white coats, "Look at them."
"Although they might be incompetent, they are still outstanding figures in the medical field."
"They are masters with a certain reputation in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine."
"If even they are helpless, what can you, a greenhorn, possibly do? It's absurd!"
She was confident.
With these words, either the other party would run away or admit defeat.
And if the fraudster brought by Maryjane failed, while the divine doctor she called cured Grandpa, her status in the Keller Family would naturally rise.
But little did she know—
"You indeed have an illness, and it's a sexually transmitted disease."
Christian spoke, pacing around her, "Your complexion is waxy yellow, your breathing is irregular, and there are crimson spots on your skin."
"This indicates the activation of STD pathogens, leading to your symptoms of frequent, urgent, and incomplete urination."
"Difficulty in speaking without gasping, choking while eating, struggling to drink water, and even sleeplessness at night, staying awake till dawn, are all common for you."
As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, shaking his head."
Especially when urinating."
"The urinary tract is swollen and blocked, making it difficult for even one urination in three days..."
This statement caused a shock among everyone present!
Especially Saskia, who was astounded and looked at him in disbelief.
"How, how did you know?"
Saskia's face turned red with embarrassment and shame.
She even subconsciously covered her lower abdomen.
She had never mentioned this illness to anyone, and even the diagnosing doctors were strictly instructed not to disclose any information.
With the influence of the Keller Family, those doctors would surely keep the matter confidential.
This meant that it was impossible to obtain this information internally.
The only explanation left was that he had indeed diagnosed it himself through sight!
It was miraculous!
"Of course, I saw it."
Christian replied calmly and indifferently, "Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking. Just by looking at you, I could understand the general state of your health."
"If you let me take your pulse or investigate further, then your body..."
"Stop, just stop talking!"
Saskia was horrified and didn't dare let him continue.
Meanwhile, Maryjane, who had been frowning, immediately brightened up and asked, "Cousin, now you have no objections to Mr. West treating Grandpa, right?"
She was inwardly relieved.
Previously, she had been really worried for him.
After all, Saskia's request was too harsh.
But he was able to accurately diagnose the illness just by looking, and Saskia couldn't refute it.
This showed that he truly possessed medical skills, and they were quite profound!
Grandpa was going to be saved!
"What's so great about that!"
Saskia took a deep breath, trying to stabilize her emotions, and coldly said, "My illness is minor, but Grandpa's condition is a matter of life and death."
"One thing at a time, whether he can cure Grandpa or not is unclear..."
"We should wait for the results of the treatment, rather than make wild guesses here!"
Maryjane glared at her, then slightly bowed, apologizing, "I'm sorry, Mr. West, my cousin is just like this, please don't mind her..."
"I'm not interested in arguing with her."
"Let's go, take me to the patient."
Then, led by Maryjane, they opened the door and walked in.
Meanwhile, the doctors in white coats were still shaken by the recent event.
Especially knowing that Saskia had a sexually transmitted disease, they couldn't help but be astounded.
They had always thought of her as a serious and dignified young lady, not expecting her to be involved in such indiscretions.
"Shut up, all of you!"
"Get out!"
"Everyone, get out!"
"Anyone who dares to gossip about today's incident, I'll cut off their tongue!"
Saskia yelled furiously.
Her angry demeanour resembled a raging lioness.
Frightened, everyone kept silent, not daring to speak more, and scattered.
Just then, Tut Keller, responsible for contacting Divine Doctor Lachlan, arrived.
"Saskia, who angered you so much? Why are you so furious?"
Tut.
On the surface, he was the eldest son of the Keller Family, the future head of the family.
But in reality, Maryjane held the major power in the company, and he just managed internal family affairs.
Both father and daughter had long been eyeing control of the Keller Group, but hadn't found a good opportunity.
Now, with Grandpa's critical illness, they saw their chance.
"It's all because of that wretch Maryjane!"
Saskia's eyes were filled with resentment, and thinking of Maryjane's triumphant look just then, her anger flared up!
After recounting the recent events briefly, Tut burst into laughter, "So, it was just Maryjane bringing in a pretty boy."
"Don't worry, let him try. With Grandpa's current condition, I've already heard it's beyond even a god's help!"
"Not just that pretty boy, but even the medical giants can't do anything. Her efforts will be in vain!"
"In the end, it will still depend on Divine Doctor Lachlan we invited, right?"
"The more she fails, the more it proves our capability. Once Grandpa wakes up, we can smoothly propose taking over the group."
"I believe he won't protect her like before and will agree to my request!"
He then comforted his daughter, "Once I become the president of the group, you'll be the manager."
"The entire Keller Family will be ours!"
Hearing this, Saskia's anger subsided, nodding, "Yes, Dad, you're right. Only Miracle Doctor Lachlan can cure Grandpa."
"When is he arriving? Grandpa is almost..."
"I've called him. He'll be here within half an hour."
"Let's go inside and see. We can't let that pretty boy mess things up and create obstacles for Divine Doctor Lachlan."
Agreeing on their plan, the father and daughter opened the door and walked in!
