chapter 5 The truth comes out

Unexpectedly, as the third silver needle was inserted, the little boy immediately began to foam at the mouth, convulse, and his face turned as pale as a corpse.
Simultaneously, the monitor by the bed began to emit a piercing alarm. His blood pressure was dropping, and his heart rate was slowing down rapidly. He was clearly in a critical condition.
Seeing the scene before him, Alexander was taken aback. The fourth silver needle in his hand lost its courage to go further.
Christopher angrily asked, "What the hell is going on? Are you even capable of treating illnesses? What have you done to my son?"
Anbius also anxiously asked, "Dr. Beasley, what's happening? Did you encounter this situation when you were treating the previous case?"
"Chief... I... I..."
Alexander was sweating profusely, too anxious to speak, and completely at a loss as to what was happening.
He distinctly remembered that just a while ago, Maximilian had treated the little boy in the same manner. Why was it that under his hands, not only was it ineffective, but it actually worsened the condition?
Seeing his son's condition deteriorating rapidly, Christopher roared, "Stop your damn nonsense and treat my son right now."
"Yes, what are you dilly-dallying for? Hurry up and save him!"
Sebastian was also extremely anxious. If Alexander really caused Christopher's son to die, his position as the head of the hospital would be finished.
Out of desperation, Alexander pulled out the three silver needles that had been inserted, but the little boy's condition showed no signs of improvement.
Christopher was hopping mad, "Damn it, Beasley, I only have this one son. If anything happens to him, I swear I'll kill you."
Anbius angrily said, "Alexander, didn't you just cure a patient? Why can't you do it now?"
"I... I..."
Alexander was soaked in cold sweat, stammering for a long time, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Sebastian felt that something was wrong and asked Quinn, "What do you think is happening?"
Quinn hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "The one who cured the child was not Dr. Beasley, but the relative of a patient outside, Maximilian."
Seeing that the truth was completely revealed, Alexander collapsed to the ground.
Upon learning the truth, Christopher immediately rushed out of the emergency room. Now, he didn't care who it was, as long as they could save his son.
When he reached Maximilian, he urgently said, "Young man, I beg you to save my son. Name your price."
"I can."
Maximilian wasn't surprised by this outcome, and the boy's condition was critical, any delay would be fatal.
He instructed Pia to go back and rest, then followed Christopher into the emergency room.
After entering the room, he glanced at the collapsed Alexander, came to the little boy's bedside, took out the silver needles, and began to administer the treatment.
The monitor by the bedside was constantly emitting a piercing alarm, but as each silver needle was inserted, the alarm stopped.
At the same time, the little boy stopped convulsing and foaming at the mouth, his complexion slowly returned to normal, and his breathing stabilized.
Having treated this case for the second time, Maximilian was already familiar with the procedure. He quickly pricked the boy's fingertip and squeezed out two drops of poisonous blood.
When he removed the silver needles, all the data on the bedside monitors returned to normal. The boy opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
"Miracle doctor! Truly a miracle doctor!" Christopher grabbed Maximilian's hand and said, "Young miracle doctor, we, the Makenzi family, have only one son in three generations. You saved my son, and you've saved the entire Makenzi family.
The one thing we, the Makenzi family, aren't short of is restaurants. My older brother just built a large restaurant. Consider it as your medical fee. I'll transfer the ownership to you once we get back."
Maximilian, who was once a poor lad, had received the inheritance of the Ancient Medical Sect, so he wasn't surprised by Christopher's reaction. After all, no amount of money could compare to a human life.
When the Ancient Medical Sect treated people, there had been instances where a city was offered as the medical fee.
Seeing that a single treatment earned him a restaurant, both Anbius and Sebastian showed envious expressions in their eyes.
Christopher was an extremely shrewd businessman. His actions were not impulsive.
Being able to befriend a miracle doctor was like having an extra life at critical times. After all, no matter how much wealth one had, it was useless without a life to enjoy it.
In his view, offering just some money wouldn't be enough to befriend a high person like Maximilian, which was why he threw out such a generous offer.
Now seeing Maximilian's calm demeanor, he was even more certain of his inner thoughts.
He took down Maximilian's phone number, then took out a business card and said, "Young man, feel free to contact me if you need anything."
After expressing his gratitude repeatedly, Christopher left with his child. Then, other patients successively brought their children to River South Hospital, all of whom were saved by Maximilian one by one.
Seeing that the last sick child was also cured, Anbius sighed in relief. This matter had a great impact on the entire River South City, and the city's high-ranking officials were all paying attention.
Now that River South Hospital had successfully treated all the infected children, it could be said that he had gained enough face.
"Maximilian, you've really helped me out this time. If you need anything, just say it."
Maximilian put away the silver needles, glanced at Alexander next to him, and said, "Mr. Tranter, there's actually something I need your help with."
Anbius said, "Just say it."
Seemingly sensing what Maximilian was about to say, Alexander looked at him pleadingly.
But Maximilian didn't even glance at him. He took out the billing details and said, "Mr. Tranter, Mr. Reilly, these are the billing details that Dr. Beasley gave to my mother just now.
My mother was admitted to the hospital last night, and it hasn't even been 24 hours yet, but it's already cost 39,800.
She clearly had a severe cerebral hemorrhage, but the medication included anti-thrombotic drugs and heart disease treatment drugs. The only thing missing was a potency pill.
And the infusion, these bottles added up to at least 25 kilograms. Even if they were injected into a cow, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to take it, right?
I still owe the hospital more than 30,000 in medical bills. What do you think should be done?"
Both Anbius and Sebastian came from the medical system and could tell at a glance the irregularities in the billing details.
"Damn it, you did a good job!" Sebastian grabbed the billing certificate and slammed it on Alexander's face, "You just faked it and took credit for Maximilian's work. Now you've caused so much trouble.
You're not fit to be a doctor. From now on, you're fired."
This time, Alexander was completely dumbfounded. He begged with a pitiful face, "Director, I beg you, give me another chance. I'll never dare to do it again."
Maximilian said, "Mr. Reilly, this kind of behavior of privately adding drugs and overcharging seems to have violated the law, right? I think it would be more appropriate to hand it over to the police.
And he probably didn't do it just this once, there must have been many times before. We need to investigate them all."
Anbius said, "Maximilian is right. These people are parasites in the medical world. They're the ones who tarnish the reputation of doctors. We must investigate thoroughly and then hand it over to the police."
