chapter 4 Impersonation

Anbius asked again, "Is it just a temporary relief of symptoms, or a complete cure?"
Alexander replied, "A complete cure, absolutely a complete cure. The child has no problems now, and the family is very satisfied with the treatment results."
"Dr. Beasley, I didn't expect your medical skills to be so good."
Anbius, unaware of the true situation, smiled at Sebastian and said, "Mr. Reilly, your hospital has a real gem."
With a big smile on his face, Alexander said, "Mr. Tranter, you flatter me. As a doctor, this is my duty."
Although he spoke modestly, he was actually thrilled. Being recognized by the head of the health bureau meant a promising future for him.
There was currently a vacancy for a deputy dean in the hospital, and he might just get it.
Anbius didn't say anything more. He took out his phone and dialed a number. "Mr. Makenzi, I have good news for you. Dr. Beasley from River South Hospital has cured this disease. Bring your son over immediately."
Then he made another call. "Deputy Marshall Booker, immediately notify the other hospitals to transfer all children with this special disease to River South Hospital. Dr. Alexander here has found an effective treatment."
Upon hearing this, Alexander was completely dumbfounded. He thought there was only one special case, and he could just take credit for it. But he didn't expect that there would be so many follow-up patients.
Sebastian, also unsure of what exactly was happening, asked, "Mr. Tranter, what's going on? Why are there so many similar cases?"
Anbius explained, "These sick children are all students from River South City Central Primary School. This afternoon, a child found a bat, and all 12 children who came into contact with the bat have developed symptoms of high fever and coma.
It is preliminarily determined that they have been infected with a new type of virus. This virus is not recorded in the national virus library, and there is also no effective medicine.
I distributed the sick children to various major hospitals in River South City for treatment, hoping that someone could cure this disease.
None of the other hospitals found any effective treatment, but to my surprise, Dr. Beasley successfully cured the case, and the effect was extremely good. This time, River South Hospital has made a great contribution."
Then he said to Alexander, "Dr. Beasley, as long as you can cure all these children, I will give you a great merit."
"Uh..."
Cold sweat broke out on Alexander's forehead. He had just taken credit for Maximilian's work and had no idea how to cure this disease.
Seeing his expression, Sebastian asked, "Is there a problem, Dr. Beasley?"
"No... no...no problem."
At this point, Alexander couldn't admit that he was impersonating, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and go on.
He had studied some Chinese medicine before and knew a little about acupuncture. Besides, he was right next to Maximilian when he was treating the little boy just now, and he remembered the acupoints clearly.
He believed that if he followed the same method of acupuncture, he should be able to cure this disease.
With this thought, he felt a lot more stable.
At this time, Sebastian noticed Maximilian and Pia standing nearby and asked, "What's going on with these two?"
Alexander quickly explained, "They are the patient who was just cured and his family, waiting to discuss the medical fees with me."
Sebastian said, "If there's something to discuss, do it outside. This is the ICU ward, outsiders can't just come in."
"Yes, yes, I'll have them leave right away." Alexander turned around and said, "We can negotiate the medical fees. I'll talk to you after I'm done."
The implication was that as long as they didn't expose him on the spot, the matter of the medical fees could be settled.
A cold smile appeared on Maximilian's lips. He had originally intended to expose this guy, but now he was not in a hurry.
He wanted to take credit for his work, but he had to have the ability to do so. He was looking forward to seeing how he would end up.
He took his mother outside the ICU ward and sat down on a bench.
Pia said, "Son, we have 20,000 dollars in our hands. Let's talk to Dr. Beasley later and see if we can settle the medical fees with this money."
Maximilian said, "No, he's overcharging. We can't spoil him. We won't give him a penny."
As mother and son were talking, there was a sharp brake sound at the hospital entrance, and two black luxury cars stopped at the door.
A middle-aged man got out of the car, followed by four bodyguards carrying a stretcher. A comatose little boy lay on the stretcher.
"Mr. Makenzi, you're here."
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Anbius warmly greeted him.
Although he was the head of the bureau, the other party was also a big shot. Christopher Makenzi, the chairman of River South Skyreach Group, a bigwig in the catering industry.
The Skyreach Group had a significant influence. Half of the establishments in River South City, from the high-end Imperial Restaurant to the common food stalls, belonged to the Makenzi family.
Not only did Christopher have billions of assets, but he also had an extraordinary background. He donated a seven-figure sum to the health industry every year.
For such a big shot, Anbius was naturally very polite.
But at this moment, Christopher was in no mood for pleasantries. He said anxiously, "Mr. Tranter, please find a doctor to treat my son immediately. He has a high fever of 40 degrees. I'm afraid that if it lasts too long, it will affect his intelligence."
"Mr. Makenzi, rest assured, everything is ready."
Anbius had the nurses put the little boy on the emergency bed. He turned to Alexander and said, "Dr. Beasley, hurry up and treat Mr. Makenzi's son."
"Yes, Director."
Alexander responded and walked over.
Christopher said, "Dr. Beasley, as long as you can cure my son, Skyreach Group will definitely thank you!"
"Mr. Makenzi, you're too kind. It's my duty to cure people."
Alexander said in a high-sounding manner, but he was overjoyed in his heart.
His good luck had arrived. As long as he could cure Christopher's son, not only would he win the recognition of his superiors, but he would also be rewarded. This was indeed a case of gaining both fame and fortune.
While daydreaming, he took out the prepared silver needles and came to the little boy's bed.
Sebastian asked in surprise, "Dr. Beasley, what are you going to do?"
Alexander replied, "Director, as far as we know, Western medicine has no effective drugs for this type of virus infection. It can only be treated with acupuncture."
Anbius was surprised and said, "Dr. Beasley, you're also proficient in Chinese medicine?"
"I wouldn't say proficient, but I happened to read about a type of acupuncture in a medical book that can treat this disease."
Anbius praised, "Dr. Beasley is indeed extraordinary, knowledgeable in both Chinese and Western medicine. Start the treatment quickly. I estimate that the other children will arrive soon."
Alexander took a deep breath, replayed the scene of Maximilian's acupuncture in his mind, and then took out a silver needle and stabbed it into the little boy's chest at the KI-25 acupoint.
After the first needle went in, the little boy's body trembled. After the second needle went in, his face showed extreme pain.
Christopher asked nervously, "Dr. Beasley, are you sure this method works?"
There's no turning back now. Alexander gritted his teeth and said, "It definitely works. The case just now was cured in this way."
Seeing that Christopher didn't say anything more, he took out the third silver needle and stabbed it into the little boy's chest at the CV-22 acupoint.
