Master Sigeweard was the most reputable doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in Midsea. He often went to Rendezvous to treat noble people. Wherever he went, he was a popular figure.
Although Joyce had a net worth of trillions of dollars and was also a magnate in Midsea, there was still a gap between him and Master Sigeweard in terms of reputation.
Ruby admired Master Sigeweard very much, just as ordinary people worshiped celebrities.
But now, she saw this top god-sent doctor holding the fraud's hand with excitement on his face?
Moreover, Master Sigeweard's eyes were glowing with, and his enthusiastic and fawning attitude made Ruby feel like she was in a dream.
Although Danna was also surprised by Master Sigeweard's attitude, looking at Ruby's stunned expression, she suddenly felt proud.
Danna was also furious at Ruby's accusation against Murray just now.
It was only for Joyce's sake that Danna didn't get angry.
Now that things were going well, Master Sigeweard, whom Ruby respected, was so enthusiastic about Murray, what else could she say?
"Master Sigeweard, he is a charlatan. Don't be fooled," Ruby couldn't bear it anymore and reminded Master Sigeweard, "He almost killed grandpa last night."
"A charlatan?" Master Sigeweard was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "If Murray is a charlatan, I will be a waste."
Ruby suddenly looked embarrassed.
"Master Sigeweard, we can have discussion of medical skills later," Murray smiled calmly, "Mr. Hudson's condition is serious, you should check him first."
Ruby nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, you should check my grandpa first."
Master Sigeweard glanced at Murray curiously, "Murray, is it possible that you are not sure to cure this disease?"
Murray smiled, "Master Sigeweard, I will explain these things later."
Master Sigeweard stopped asking, calmed down, and asked Joyce to sit down on the sofa.
He first felt Joyce's pulse, then took the instruments to check carefully, and finally looked through the diagnoses from several hospitals.
He integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
Master Sigeweard was casual at first, but as time passed, his brows furrowed, "This disease is so strange."
An hour later, Master Sigeweard shook his head, "The lungs, kidneys, and liver all have a certain degree of functional failure, but the cause cannot be found.
"The blood tests are normal, and there are no signs of poisoning, let alone physical decline due to aging…
"Why does he have severe abdominal pain from time to time, and faint at irregular intervals?
"It's so weird, it's so weird," He diagnosed and treated him for another fifteen minutes, then stood up and smiled bitterly, "Ruby, I'm sorry, I can't treat your grandfather's disease."
"Ah!" Ruby and the others were shocked when they heard that Master Sigeweard couldn't help, "Grandpa Sigeweard, you can't cure it either?"
"There is no way at the moment," Master Sigeweard replied honestly, "I can't find out the root cause of the disease, and the instruments can't detect anything, so I can't start.
"I need to go back and think about it carefully and consult with a few more people."
Hearing this, Ruby and the others looked sad. They never thought that Master Sigeweard could not save him.
"Murray, have you diagnosed his illness?" Master Sigeweard looked at Murray, "What do you think?"
Before Murray could respond, Ruby sneered, "He said my grandfather was poisoned and had a poisonous source in his body.
"He also said that during the blood test, he happened to force the toxin out, and the source of the poison was hidden, so it could not be detected.
"After a few days, the poison source will secrete toxins again, and then my grandfather's condition will be doomed.
"So my grandpa would produce poison himself. Isn't this nonsense?" She glanced at Murray with contempt, "He also said it can be cured. Grandpa Sigeweard, even you can't do anything about it. What can he cure?"
Master Sigeweard's eyes lit up, "Murray, do you really have a solution?"
Murray glanced at the skeleton-like Joyce, knowing that he suffered a lot of torture every day, and felt a little pity in his heart, "I can cure it, but Miss Hudson doesn't believe it."
Ruby sneered, "Of course I won't believe you. Your relatives said you have never studied medicine…" Murray stared at the unruly girl and said without comment, "You have excessive liver-fire, hormonal imbalance, and menstrual irregularities. When you get angry, you often had pain in the back of your head.
"Also, your left foot was cut last year and soaked in ice water, which left serious sequelae.
"Now not only is it often weak, but also gets cramps in the middle of the night." Murray reeled off Ruby's symptoms, "Every cramp hurts like a knife cutting, right?"
Ruby's eyes widened when she heard this, and she stared at Murray in disbelief, "You, how do you know…" Joyce and the others were also stunned, "Ruby, your foot had been injured? And still having cramps? "
Ruby's eyelids twitched and she nodded with difficulty.
Last year while skating in the north, she accidentally cut the left foot and fell into an ice hole. Although she was fine, her left foot suffered sequelae.
The situation was just as Murray said, Ruby had cramps in the middle of the night. Although Ruby had visited many doctors, nothing worked.
She was a very strong girl, so she did not tell her family about the injury to her left foot.
So Murray exposed it in public, which extremely surprised her.
Was this fraud really capable?
Master Sigeweard's eyes showed appreciation, "Murray is better than me. Joyce, Ruby, I suggest you trust Murray this time."
Danna also nodded in agreement, "Yes, Murray is really capable."
"Murray, Ruby is ignorant, I apologize to you," Joyce bowed deeply to Murray "Please feel free to give me a cure. Whether I live or die, I will accept it.
"If you can cure me, I will give you half of my wealth.
"If you can't cure me, it doesn't matter. It won't be any worse," He was living in too much pain now, his abdomen was always cramping, and he couldn't sleep at all. Although he also questioned Murray for his youth, he was the only one who dared to say that it could be cured.
"Mr. Hudson, you are making way too much of this," Murray originally wanted to leave, but when he saw that Joyce was suffering too much, he felt pity for him again.
After all, the old man had a good attitude.
Ruby subconsciously said, "Grandpa!" Murray looked at Ruby with cold eyes, "Miss Hudson, if you don't believe in my medical skills, let's make a bet today.
"If I can't cure your grandfather today, I will never practice medicine again and leave the Hudson Family's garden on my knees.
"But if I cure your grandfather, I don't want half of Hudson family's wealth. I just want you to be my maid for one year.
"How about it?
"Miss Hudson, do you dare to take a gamble?" Murray stimulated the woman, "This bet, for you, will make a profit but not a loss.
"If you win, you can laugh at me.
"If you lose, you will only wash and cook for me for a year, but your grandfather can escape death," He decided to knock Ruby down to size and make the ignorant and arrogant woman pay a price.
Ruby was startled at first, then gritted her teeth, "Okay, I'll make a bet with you. Grandpa Sigeweard and Sister Scott will be the notaries.
"If I lose, I'll be your maid."
