Chapter 428


    Per their agreement, today was the day they were going to treat Brittany’s illness.


    Inside the car, Joseph looked apologetic. “Mr. Larson, my sincerest apologies. I warned Crystal not to


    disturb you, but she refused to listen to me. To be honest, she wants to apologize to you as she knows


    that what she did before made you despise her. She is trying to turn over a new leaf. For that reason,


    she is determined to train herself from the beginning again. Mr. Larson, please let me know if she


    inconveniences you in any way. I will drag her home immediately!”


    Matthew had no choice but to respectfully give in since Joseph had gone so far as to reassure him.


    Thus, he casually replied, “It’s fine! It’s great if she can learn from her mistakes.”

    Soon, they arrived at Billy’s vi.


    Billy was already waiting for them in the front hall. As soon as he saw Matthew, he greeted him


    immediately. “Mr. Larson, I’ve prepared the Fruit of Mand as per your instructions.”


    Nodding, Matthew walked into the ward where Billy’s daughter, Brittany, was still lying on the bed.


    Although she had woken up, her body was still very weak. As the disease she had was an


    unmentionable disease, he had not given her a lot of medicine. For that reason, she was still not fully


    cured.


    The Fruit of Mand was ced on a table nearby. Moreover, there were other herbs and medicinal


    ingredients that Matthew had asked for too. Joseph himself had personally searched for and selected


    the ingredients through careful inspection. Thus, each and every ingredient was of the highest quality.


    Then, Matthew ced the medicinal ingredients together, mashed them with a mortar, ced them into


    a medicinal pot, and slowly boiled them. After approximately 30 minutes, the smell of medicine wafted


    in the air. Pouring out the medicine, he ced the Fruit of Mand into the medicinal liquid.


    Meanwhile, everybody had been watching the entire process intently. To their surprise, the Fruit of


    Mand reacted like ice dropped into hot water—it instantly dissolved into the liquid.


    “H-How?!” Joseph eximed in astonishment. Although the Fruit of Mand looked like a normal fruit,


    it was actually extremely hard. Even with a mortar, there was no way to break apart the fruit. Yet now,


    the medicinal liquid hadpletely dissolved the fruit!


    In response, Matthew smiled. “Everything in this world reacts and counteracts with each other. The


    entire Fruit of Mand ispletely made of medicine. Therefore, if one were to boil it through normal


    means, its medicinal properties would not be utilized fully. The medicinal effect of the fruit will then be


    greatly reduced. Only by using this method topletely dissolve the Fruit of Mand and turn it into


    medicine can we obtain the greatest medicinal effect from the fruit.”


    Joseph was shocked. If he had not seen Matthew working, he would never have known about this


    method. As the Fruit of Mandpletely dissolved, the medicinal liquid within the bowl changed


    color. It was originally ck, but now it turned a bright red—as red as blood—and gave off a strange


    sense of beauty to it.


    Afterward, Matthew took out his needles and made Brittany sit up straight. Taking out three silver


    needles with one hand, he stuck them into the three vital spots located at the top of her head, at the


    same time. However, she did not look diforted—a master acupuncturist would not cause his


    patients to feel any pain whatsoever. Then, he spoke in a low voice, “Feed her the medicine. Take one;


    no, two spoonsful.”


    Thus, Billy personally took action and carefully fed Brittany two spoonfuls of the medicinal liquid.


    Following that, Matthew took out another three needles and stuck them into the back of Brittany’s neck.


    “Feed her again; two spoonfuls.”


    Once again, Billy fed his daughter two spoonfuls of the medicinal liquid. The cycle continued until about


    an hourter when the medicinal liquid was finally finished. By then, there were more than a hundred


    needles all over Brittany’s body.


    Standing by the side, Billy looked extremely anxious. “Mr. Larson, how is she? She finished the entire


    bowl of medicine. Is she better now?”


    Matthew smiled. “Don’t fret. Since she was sick for such a long time, she needs some time to recover. I


    think she should be fine after half an hour.”


    Then, Billy let out a breath of relief.


    On the other hand, Joseph curiously asked, “Mr. Larson, why did you have to feed her two spoonfuls of


    the medicine after every three needles? Couldn’t we have finished the acupuncture treatment before


    feeding her the medicine?”
