chapter 32 Miracle doctor? Pooh!

"Are you a doctor? Quick, attend to my Grandpa." The Givenchy girl clung onto Murray like a life-saving straw and proclaimed, "Save my Grandpa, I will give you 150,000 dollars." Murray examined the old man physically up close. Within a short time, blood started to leak out of the old man's eyes. His throat became red and swollen, and cracks also started to form at the corners of his mouth. Without skipping a beat, Murray reached out to hold the old man's wrist. While Murray was measuring his pulse, he could feel the jade of life and death began to rotate. Status: Toxins spreading, internal organs failing... Instantly, Murray had successfully grasped the condition that the old man was in. Although Murray already had two pieces of white shards, which were enough to instantly revive the old man, he was reluctant to use them as he wanted to use his medical skills to save people and accumulate a few more pieces of white shards along the way. Murray fished out his needle box, which he would bring with him no matter where he went, and took out three silver needles. After quickly sterilizing them, he pricked them into the respective pressure points of the old man who had fainted. "Tai Chi Divine Needle", the sixth form: the Four Divine Beasts to resolve toxin. Even though Murray's needle technique was not fully developed nor very skillful, his needle strokes were not considered slow at all. As he rotated his wrist, the silver needles landed one after another. The old man's Xiaohai, Quze, and Chize acupoints started twitching. Three needles lock the poison. The old man groaned in pain, his face full of agony. The blood and redness in the eye started to slowly dissipate. However, Murray did not stop his treatment and continued to insert the fourth, fifth, and sixth needles into the respective acupuncture points. By this time, a crowd had gathered, causing a stir. Paddy's parents, who happened to be passing by the area, squeezed past the bustling crowd to find out what the commotion was all about. When Paddy's father saw Murray attempting to rescue the old man, he subconsciously hollered, "Hey, aren't you the wimp who doesn't have any medical abilities?" Paddy's mother had taken several psychological blows because of Murray that night. The Hudson family had taken several blows due to Murray and had lost their dignity, hence Paddy's mother was filled with hatred for Murray. She sneered bitterly at Murray, "If he knows how to heal and save life, even pigs can climb trees!" "You must want to be in the limelight that badly. You better be careful kid, better not treat a person to death, you will go to jail." Murray ignored the Hudson couple and very calmly inserted three more needles into the old man. The old man's Quchi, Hegu, and the Neiting acupoints trembled slightly. Three needles gather poison. The toxins that were spreading throughout the old man's body started to gush into his abdomen area like a tide. Hearing what Paddy's parents said, the Givenchy girl was stunned and subconsciously blurted out, "Aren't you a doctor?" "Him? A doctor? Then I must be the father of medicine, Hippocrates!" Before Murray could respond, Paddy's mother gave him a look of contempt and snorted, "His name is Murray Yoxall. He is just the son-in-law of the Thrussell family. He has no job and is living off his in-laws. Which hospital would accept him?" Paddy's mother continued sowing discord, "If you continue to let him do as he please, you better be prepared for the worse! Careful, your grandfather might actually contract some weird disease and die..." Freya, who squeezed past the crows, frowned and retorted, "Auntie, please be wary of what you say." Although Freya also believed that Murray's medical skills were rather unreliable, she still decided to suppress her thoughts of complaining for the time being when she saw his determination to save other people. "I'm doing it for his own good," Paddy's mother replied. "Just reminding him not to assume that just because he knows a few influential people, he can think that he is truly invincible and knows everything." Paddy's mother stared at Murray with a look of disdain and uttered, "Even the Gods can't save him if the person he is treating dies." "What? You're not a doctor? " The Givenchy girl's face became distorted and changed drastically when she heard this. She pulled Murray away and shouted, "If you're not a doctor, why are you treating my grandpa?" At the same moment, the old man's body began to twitch violently as he started coughing, his chest heaving violently. Paddy's mother exclaimed happily in a sadistic manner, "Oh no he's going to die, he's going to die..." "Shut up! Grandpa, what's wrong," the Givenchy girl exclaimed. The Givenchy girl supported her grandpa and tried to get him to sit upright while shouting, "Doctor, is there a doctor here?" Murray almost fell after being violently pulled aside by the Givenchy girl. He steadied himself and opened his mouth, "He still has three more needle shots to go. If I give him these three more shots, he will definitely regain more than half of his health and vitality" "Scram, get out of here!" The Givenchy girl was seething in anger as she hollered furiously at Murray, "Let me tell you, you better pray that my Grandpa is fine. If something is to happen to him, I will not let you off the hook!" Paddy's mother continued to add oil to the fire, commenting, "Call the police and arrest him. I can testify on your behalf that he is a medical practitioner practicing without a license!" Paddy's mother was elated, if Murray was arrested and sent to jail, she could finally then have a good night's sleep. Freya hurriedly ran forward to help Murray get up from the ground, "Murray, forget it, let's stop meddling in this affair." "No, no, there are still three more needles that need to be inserted, otherwise danger will befall the old man," Murray exclaimed. Murray broke free away from Freya before swaying to dodge the interception of the Givenchy girl. In the blink of an eye, he had already swiftly inserted two of the last three needles into the old man's body. The old man's body reacted violently to the needles, his veins popped as his blood was forced to circulate like dark, turbulent waves. His blood started gathering at a particular spot, causing the red spot to become more and more apparent till it was ready to be forced out of his body. It was like forcing a dragon to come out from the abyss! However, just as Murray was about to insert the last needle, the Givenchy girl rushed over and knocked the silver needle away. "Asshole!" She bawled, “What are you doing? Are you trying to kill my grandpa?" As soon as she finished speaking, the trembling old man felt his stomach vibrate and rumble violently. He tried to stretch his body to sit upright and raise his head. In the next instant, the old man let out a burp and spat out food chunks that were agglutinated together. After vomiting for a bit, the old man felt better. His expressions no longer showed any signs of agony, even his breathing had become smoother and more steady. However, Murray's face was still solemn. Although the toxin had been dissolved, the source of the poison was not yet expelled from the old man's body. Hence, the danger had not been eliminated yet. "Screw off!" The Givenchy girl shoved Murray away, pointing at his nose while cursing, "I'm warning you, if anything happens to my Grandpa, I will hold you fully responsible to the end!" Murray frowned slightly. Besides being completely ungrateful after receiving aid, her attitude was also atrociously bad. Freya pulled Murray a few meters back. "Woo-" By this time, an ambulance had reached the scene and several medical staff ran over to assist the old man. They quickly came to the old man's side and provided him with basic treatment, quickly determining that he had just suffered an episode of heat stroke. After infusing him with some oxygen, the old man slowly opened his eyes and took a long, deep breath. His various health indexes were also gradually returning to normal. It was evident that the old man was finally out of the woods. "Doctor, thank you, thank you so much!" Seeing that the old man's condition was improving, the Givenchy girl was filled with gratitude towards the medical staff, "Fortunately you people came in time, otherwise who would have known what would happen to my grandfather? I will reward you all heftily." The medical staff waved their hands to gently reject the gracious offer before putting the old man on a stretcher. They were prepared to send him to the hospital for a further, more thorough examination. Murray hurriedly shouted out to the Givenchy girl, "Miss, your grandfather has been poisoned. There is still one more needle that needs to be inserted to remove the source of the poison, otherwise..." "Poisoned," the Givenchy girl replied. She snapped back furiously at Murray, "You liar, how dare you insert needles into my grandfather? I'll beat you to death!" The Givenchy girl had just finished dinner with her grandpa and she was perfectly fine. How could her grandpa possibly be poisoned? The Givenchy girl waved her hands in an attempt to slap Murray across the face. "Pa—" Before the slap landed on Murray's face, Freya grabbed her wrist. "Miss, Murray also meant well." "Back when you were desperately seeking help and no one came to your aid, Murray was the one that stepped forward and came to your aid. If you have no plans to express your gratitude, forget it. There is no need to resort to violence," Freya continued. "If anything were to happen to your grandpa, feel free to call the police then." "Choosing violence will not help in solving the problem." Halfway through her words, her demeanor suddenly changed and she exuded an irresistible aura, a surge of furry. She asked menacingly, "Besides, who do you think you are? How dare you attempt to hit my husband? " "Only I can look down on him. That doesn't mean you, an outsider, can bully him as you like." Freya's angry demeanor was stronger than ever, "If something were to happen to your grandfather because of Murray's treatment, we will be entirely responsible till the end. At the worst, both his and my life can be at your disposal to make up for your loss." She was like a tigress protecting her young calf, which made Murray slightly stunned. This was the first time that Freya had taken a clear stance to defend him. The Givenchy girl was also startled, mostly taken aback because of Freya's strength. She then angrily broke free from Freya's grip and howled, "You better pray that my grandpa is okay, otherwise I will make it my mission to make sure that you pay dearly." The Givenchy girl then quickly proceeded to catch up with the ambulance that was parked not far away. Paddy's parents gloated at the sight of Murray's misfortune. Freya turned around and kicked Murray in the leg exclaiming, "I told you not to mind your own business but you just wouldn't listen!" Murray rubbed his calf. It was very painful, but he felt extremely happy in his heart. He had finally experienced a tinge of care and concern from his lady. Paddy's mother looked at Murray in glee, elated at his misfortune, "Hey, coward! Pretending to be an expert with all your trickery? How does it feel now that your lies have been exposed?" Paddy's father also looked disdainfully at Murray and exclaimed, "A miracle doctor? Liar!" "Uncle, I'm sure you suffered from a kidney disease when you were young, and you didn't get proper treatment, hence resulting in poor kidney functioning." Murray smiled, his eyes narrowed to a thin line, and continued, "I bet you visit the bathroom frequently at night." Paddy's father was extremely taken aback as he gasped, "How... how did you know." Murray ignored his surprised reaction and continued, "Your liver is not good. You are full of furry and would get angry from time to time. Furthermore, you also suffer from severe fatty liver syndrome." Paddy's father looked at Murray Ye in disbelief. Murray continued his analysis, this time while looking at Paddy's mother, who had been gloating about his misfortune all these while, "Auntie, are you feeling under the weather lately?" The eyelids of Paddy's mother twitched as she questioned, "Even if I am, what does it have to do with you?" "If my prediction is correct, you had been suffering from fever, headache, as well as bone and joint aches for the past half month." Murray finished his diagnosis within a single breath, "There are also rashes on certain places of your body, right?" The expression on Paddy's mother changed instantly, "How is this possible... how could you have known?" Murray replied calmly: "It is not difficult to treat your disease, but it must be treated on time, otherwise it will harm not only yourself but others too." Paddy's father asked subconsciously, "What kind of disease is this?" "In ancient times, it was known as Grande Verole, but now it's called Syphilis." Murray smiled. After replying, he turned and walked away. Paddy's mother was scared out of her wits as she exclaimed, "You--" However before she could finish her sentence, Paddy's father had already slapped her in the face... ----------
