chapter 8 Old Master Keller is dying, so prepare for the funeral.

"Mr. West?"
Lachlan frowned.
Shirou immediately explained, "He's just a swindler, brought in by Maryjane to treat my father."
"As soon as he arrived, he gave my dad a full body massage, making his bones crackle, but after all that fuss, there was no reaction at all."
"He even said he was going out to buy silver needles for acupuncture treatment..."
"Nonsense!"
Before he could finish, Lachlan angrily said, "Old Master Keller's condition is critical. Traditional Chinese medicine only treats symptoms, not the root cause, and its effects are slow."
"Relying on traditional Chinese medicine to cure him is a joke."
"Moreover, although I specialize in Western medicine, I have some knowledge of Chinese medicine too."
"I have never heard of the concept of using heat to dispel toxins. This is not saving a person, it's clearly harming them!"
"Exactly!"
Saskia joined in, mocking, "Some people, desperate in illness, randomly picked a swindler off the street and treated him like a divine doctor!"
"She's foolish herself, does she also want us to be fools?"
"Now that Grandfather's condition has deteriorated, only Divine Doctor Lachlan can cure him."
"Unless, some people do not wish for Grandfather to recover but rather hope for his demise, so they can monopolize the family power..."
"Shut up!"
Maryjane glared at her, "Saskia, stop your insinuations!"
"No one in the Keller Family wants Grandfather to recover more than I do!"
"Mr. West was introduced by Mr. Temple, so I believe he has the ability to cure Grandfather."
"His treatment is not yet complete. Before he is finished, no one should interfere..."
Saying so, she quickly walked to the bedside, preventing others from lifting the blanket.
But Shirou scoffed and reprimanded, "Maryjane, don't you boss me around!"
"You might be the CEO at the company, but this is home, involving Old Master's safety. You don't get to call the shots here!"
"Move aside, don't delay Divine Doctor Lachlan's treatment!"
"I won't move. Until Mr. West returns, nobody is touching Grandfather..."
"Men!"
Seeing Maryjane still obstructing, Shirou shouted loudly, and several bodyguards immediately ran in!
"The Young Lady has been deceived by a pretty boy, insisting on preventing the Divine doctor from saving Old Master."
"Quickly pull her away, don't let her cause trouble here!"
"Yes, Master Shirou!"
They were Shirou's henchmen.
They didn't care whether Maryjane was the CEO or not, this wasn't the company, it was home.
Shirou's word was law to them.
They immediately rushed over, grabbed Maryjane from both sides. She struggled fiercely, screaming, "Let me go!"
"Mr. West said not to lift the blanket, or grandfather's life could be in danger."
"If something happens, who will be responsible..."
"I will be responsible!"
Before she could finish, Lachlan interrupted, speaking loudly, "If something really happens to Old Master Keller, I, Lachlan, will take full responsibility!"
"I don't believe it. I've been practicing medicine for decades, seen all kinds of difficult diseases, and tried all kinds of treatments."
"How is this absurd treatment method any different from feudal superstition?"
"To think she's the CEO of a group, such discernment really leaves one speechless!"
Subsequently, Maryjane was pulled away.
Being a woman with no physical strength against several strong men.
Her struggles were in vain, and she could only watch helplessly as Lachlan lifted the blanket and started to diagnose and treat Old Master Keller.
"Hmph, really, doing business has made her foolish, believing the words of a pretty boy, ridiculous!"
Seeing Maryjane's face filled with sorrow and tears, Saskia felt secretly pleased and couldn't help but mockingly say.
Shirou then patted her shoulder, saying, "That's what I like to hear. Since doing business has made her foolish, it's time for her to step down and let others take over."
"After Divine Doctor Lachlan cures Old Master, I will report everything that just happened."
"Then he will know who in the Keller Family truly cares for him and who is the most suitable to handle the family business."
Hearing this, Maryjane was furiously annoyed.
She always knew that father and daughter coveted the family power and never gave up.
But considering they were from the same family, she never minded, but now, concerning Grandfather's life and death, they defied Mr. West's instructions!
Even she herself was uncertain about the final treatment outcome.
But still, that man was introduced by Mr. Temple, and Grandfather owed a life-saving debt to Mr. Temple.
His recommendation must be reliable!
But now they had overturned Mr. West's medical advice, and she was extremely anxious, fearing for Grandfather's life.
She didn't care if she lost her power, only about Grandfather's safety!
Soon, as the blanket was lifted, Lachlan began his medical treatment.
Diagnostic equipment.
Data analysis.
From detection to diagnosis, it was done seamlessly and effortlessly, in one go.
Throughout the process, there was no hesitation, fully demonstrating what is called a master's style.
Ten minutes later, the previously unchanged values began to climb from low to high!
From the initial ten percent, they soared all the way to nearly thirty percent.
And their grandfather, who had been unconscious, let out a groan.
"Is he awake?!"
Saskia was overjoyed.
Shirou hurriedly instructed a doctor in a white coat to check. After observing the changes in symptoms, he excitedly said, "Master Shirou, Old Master Keller's condition has improved!"
"Not only have the values increased, but his complexion has also become rosier, and his body's various indicators are gradually recovering."
"That's great!"
Shirou roared excitedly, rushing to shake Old Master Keller, "Dad, open your eyes and look at me, I am Tut..."
Lachlan chuckled lightly, saying, "Master Shirou, don't worry, Old Master Keller's condition has stabilized, but he still needs time to recover."
"His condition is serious, but not complicated. The apparatus has taken effect. I will prescribe some medicine later, and after taking it, not only will he wake up, but he will also recover quickly."
"Flop, flop, flop!"
Upon hearing this, the room immediately erupted into thunderous applause.
"There's no doubt about it, Divine Doctor Lachlan! With his intervention, Old Master Keller has been brought back from death's door!"
"That's right, Divine Doctor Lachlan is known as the modern Hua Tuo, having saved countless critically ill patients. It's said he can even bring the dead back to life!"
"Seeing is believing, I have finally got to witness it myself today."
"Admirable, truly admirable."
The crowd buzzed with praises.
Saskia, even more triumphant, approached Maryjane, crossing her arms and said arrogantly, "See that, cousin?"
"The charlatan you brought has already fled."
"While the Divine Doctor I invited has cured our grandfather and he is about to recover!"
"Right or wrong, do I need to say more?"
Maryjane didn't speak, just looked complexly at her grandfather.
It seemed he had improved a lot, Lachlan indeed had skill.
Could she have misjudged Christian, thinking he really fled?
But he was introduced by Caesar, it shouldn't be like this...
"Let's wait until grandpa wakes up."
She took a deep breath, glaring at the two bodyguards, "What are you still holding me for, let go!"
"We only listen to Master Shirou."
The bodyguards remained unmoved.
Just as Maryjane was about to scold them, Saskia mockingly said, "Want them to let you go?"
"Fine, no problem."
"You just need to sign this document, and they'll let you go."
Then, she took out a document from her handbag and waved it in front of Maryjane.
Looking closely, it was a share transfer agreement!
"Saskia, what do you mean?!"
"Literally what is said on it."
Saskia said indifferently, "The facts are clear. The young man you brought, with his poor medical skills, even attempted to harm grandpa."
"While the Divine Doctor I invited has saved him, and he will recover soon."
"Morally and rationally, you should step down and hand over the position of the group president and transfer your shares to me!"
"In your dreams!"
Maryjane exclaimed angrily, "The shares were given to me by grandpa, and the appointment as president was also decreed by him."
"If you want them, wait until grandpa wakes up..."
"Didn't you hear Divine Doctor Lachan say? Grandpa will wake up soon."
"And when he learns about the whole situation, he will also support my approach."
"I'm just trying not to waste time, hurry up and..."
"Beep, beep."
Before she could finish, the machine beside the bed suddenly emitted a piercing alarm!
Looking closely, they found Old Master Keller, who had been lying still, suddenly began to convulse violently!
Moreover, his face turned bruised, densely covered with discoloration, accompanied by bleeding from the mouth and nose, like a seizure!
"What's happening, Divine Doctor Lachlan, why is my dad suddenly like this?" Shirou asked in horror.
Lachlan's expression darkened, reassuring, "It's okay, might just be some side effects..."
As he was mumbling, Saskia shouted, "Hurry up and do something, Divine Doctor Lachlan!"
"This..."
"It's terrible, Divine Doctor Lachlan, Old Master Keller's vital signs continue to decline, reaching a critical point of ten percent!"
At that moment, a doctor in white urgently shouted after checking the situation.
"Quick, start emergency procedures!"
"Cardiopulmonary resuscitation!"
"Automated external defibrillation!"
"Use everything available!"
Following Lachlan's order, everyone started working quickly.
But despite trying everything possible, Old Master Keller's condition not only didn't improve, but it worsened.
Especially his life signs, which were almost becoming a flat line!
"Master Shirou, Old Master Keller is gone, prepare for the funeral."
