The Miracle Doctor: Call Me Savior

Vanessa's heart skipped a beat. She had an indescribable feeling. She took out a handkerchief, squatted beside Zachary, and wiped the sweat off his face.

She asked, "Is grandpa okay?"

Zachary nodded slightly and then shook his head gently, saying, "I have already performed the acupuncture to stabilize his condition. But, his illness will fluctuate if I pull out the needles. We have to find out the cause of the illness." "How could this happen? Zachary, you must save Grandpa!"

Zachary nodded and stood up. He walked over to Andrew with a serious look and asked coldly, "Where did you get the Summerise Ginseng?"

Andrew was so furious he almost lost his temper when he saw Vanessa being so intimate with Zachary. Therefore, he ignored Zachary's questions and asked angrily, "What do you mean? Are you saying that there is something wrong with my medicine?"

"Isn't that so?"

"That's impossible. The medicine has undergone extensive research overseas. The clinical trials had already been performed on animals. So, it's impossible that there's anything wrong with the medicine!" Andrew shouted. Vanessa stood up and said in a serious tone, "Andrew, stop arguing and tell Zachary everything you know for the sake of my grandpa."

Andrew wanted to continue refuting. However, Yohannes walked over and said in a low voice, "Andrew, Master Sue's condition is our top priority now."

"It's impossible that there's anything wrong with my medicine," Andrew glared at Zachary and argued again. But since his grandfather had voiced out, he reluctantly said, "I used the latest DNA replication technology to combine the DNA of Summerise Herb and ginseng and cultivated it with the latest technology. The medicine has passed the clinical trials. So, there must be no problem with the medicine."

"DNA replication technology," Zachary repeated Andrew's words while thinking about it. He recalled what he had studied from his books. All of a sudden, he seemed to realize something. He asked, "What did you use as the cultivation media for Summerise Herb?"

"We use a nutritional solution specially made by us, with the amino acids and catalytic enzymes needed by the plants, which you, a Chinese medicine practitioner, don't understand. It's useless talking to you about all these. Anyway, there must be no problem with my medicine," Andrew said.

"How long did it take for you to cultivate Summerise Ginseng?" Zachary asked again.

"One month. We cultivated it in a controlled laboratory environment. So, it grows much faster."

Andrew was very confident in his own research. However, Zachary narrowed his eyes and said, "This is the problem!"

"What do you mean? Are you trying to say that Master Sue's illness is caused by my medicine?" Andrew shouted. "I have a Ph. D. in Medicine from Harvard University in the United States. How can you slander my reputation!"Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Shut up!" Zachary roared. He glared at Andrew and said coldly, "There's nothing wrong with the medicine. You're the one who caused this."

"How dare you slander my medical skills. You are talking nonsense!" Andrew countered angrily.

Yohannes spoke out to help his grandson, "Dr. Ching, you are still young. Please mind your words."

It was very obvious that Yohannes was warning Zachary. But Zachary said loudly as if he didn't hear Yohannes, "Many of the guests here are doctors. They should understand the fact that any problem that arose during a treatment could only be caused by an incompetent doctor, not the medicine."

"The nature of the medicine itself is pre-determined. Its the responsibility of a doctor to use the right medication at the right time. Certain poisonous drugs could be used as the medication to treat patients if the medicine is used for the right diagnosis at the right time. And certain good medicine could poison the patients if the medicine isn't used at the right time."

Zachary was very convincing. The crowd couldn't help but nod their heads, agreeing with Zachary. Arsenic was well-known for its poisonous nature. However, there were a lot of medical cases that involved using arsenic to treat patients. "You... only know how to talk nonsense. You are just a lousy doctor. You're blaming me because you can't find the cause of the illness," Andrew panicked when he saw the crowd agreeing with Zachary.

Zachary looked at Andrew coldly. He grew angrier because Andrew was a hypocritical and vicious person. Maxwell fell ill because of Andrew's treatment. Everyone saw what happened. Yet, he still wanted to push his responsibilities away to protect his reputation.

"I'll tell you the cause of the illness now!" Zachary spoke loudly, "The natural Summerise Ginseng grows by coincidence in nature. It usually grows deep in the jungle and its growth cycle is very long. It needs more than 30 years on average to grow before it can be harvested for medical purposes."

"But, your Summerise Ginseng was cultivated and harvested within a month. You even used all kinds of tonics to cultivate the Summerise Ginseng. The Summerise Ginseng cultivated in such a way is much more potent than the ones grown in nature."

"If this Summerise Ginseng is given to an ordinary adult, nothing terrible will happen. But, Master Sue is old and frail. How could his body bear the potent effects of your medicine? What made things worse was that you think you are smart enough to use the so-called high-tech massage device to accelerate the drug absorption. But, the drug itself already has an effect on accelerating blood circulation. So, using the massage device together with the medicine is what causes Master Sue to fall sick."

Although many people present were not Chinese physicians, Zachary's explanation was simple and understandable. Therefore, everyone understood what he said. They were surprised and admired his medical skills.

As for Andrew, his face was pale. Sweat was dripping down his face. His legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Zachary was too lazy to pay attention to him. He knew a way to treat Maxwell after figuring out the cause of the illness.

He searched Maxwell's pocket for a while and then took out a plastic bag. It was the refining ointment, which was the gift Zachary gave to Maxwell.

Zachary opened the plastic bag and broke off a small piece of the hardened paste. He handed it to Vanessa and said, "Dissolve it in warm water and let Master Sue take it."

Vanessa quickly poured some water to dissolve the paste and fed the medicine to her grandfather.

Maxwell's complexion was obviously better in less than a quarter of an hour after taking the medicine. His complexion gradually returned to normal. Zachary then removed the silver needles from Maxwell's body. Maxwell opened his eyes slowly a few minutes later. He had finally regained his consciousness. Although his face was still a little red, he looked just fine.

Maxwell moved his body slightly and Vanessa quickly told him what had just happened.

Maxwell smiled gratefully, "Zachary, thank you very much. I might've died if you aren't here today."

"Master Sue, it's my duty as a doctor to save lives."

"Good boy!" Maxwell laughed and said while waving his hand. He asked curiously, "The refining ointment you gave me is really amazing. Not only am I cured, I also feel that my muscles are full of energy."

Zachary said, "I formulated it myself. It can help to accelerate blood circulation and stabilize the Qi. Its main effect is strengthening your body's health. Your strength will be comparable to that of two or three young people after taking this medicine for a period of time."

"I'm so lucky to have such a good thing," Maxwell said. He did not doubt Zachary's words at all.
