Chapter 198
After another day, the convention hall became even more lively. Why was it so lively? Of course, it was
because Henry was setting up a bet again. After four days, thepetition between the traditional and
modern medicine teams reached its climax. Both teams had both performed two surgeries. The
reporters waited at the entrance of the operating theater for interviews every day.
Currently, everyone only knew that the traditional medicine team was faster than the modern medicine
team in both surgeries. But no one knew how effective the surgeries were Even reporters who tried to
broach the topic were cleverly turned away. As if trying to create a suspenseful atmosphere, Jonathan
said that by the end of thepetition, everyone would know which side provided the more effective
treatment.
The more suspenseful something was, the more restless the spectators became. When they heard that
the bet had started, everyone ced their bets excitedly. This bet was different from thest time.
Many people were optimistic about Jonathan. Therefore, the odds of the traditional medicine team
winning was slightly higher..
But how could Gwen stand the fact that her team was no longer the favorite? She directly bet 15 million
on the modern medicine team. That was all the savings she had saved up over the years.
Seeing that Gwen had bet 15 million, Sybil wanted to support Annalise. Boldly, she bet 75 million
dors. Not only did Sybil ce her wager, but she also provoked Gwen. “Come on, Miss Raven. Raise
the stakes. won’t you? You’re confident in winning, anyway. Do you not have enough money? Why
don’t I lend you some?” When Gwen heard Sybil’s provocation, she felt extremely upset.
So, why did Gwen want to marry into a wealthy family? If not for the fact that Sybil was a daughter of
the Xander family, she would be nothing. She did nothing all day, and she was ipetent. Gwen
ignored Sybil. After cing her bet, she left the venue with her chin slightly raised. She still had to rush
to the hospital to perform surgery.
Patients 3 and 4 were scheduled for today. They were leukemia and rheumatism patients, respectively.
Both patients were scheduled for surgery. Leo was the chief surgeon for the surgery of the leukemia
patient. He performed a bone marrow transnt. He was considered lucky to have found a match.
Another doctor from the modern medicine team treated the rheumatism patient. Gwen went to assist in
the surgery. Firstly, she wanted to help. Secondly, she wanted to know who the chief surgeon on the
traditional medicine team was and what method they used.
Did they also choose to perform surgery? If the traditional medicine team chose to treat all five groups
of patients with surgery, how could they be considered traditional medicine practitioners? The
traditional medicine team suddenly announced to the reporters that Patients 3, 4, and 5 would be
treated that day.
The leukemia patient on their side had also found a match. He would be treated with a bone marrow
transnt. The rheumatism patient would be treated with warm incense. Patient 5, who had a cervical
spinal injury, would undergo a bone correction procedure.
Gwen could not help butugh when she heard Jonathan announce his team’s treatment n to the
reporters. Even though their diagnosis might sound straightforward, the rheumatoid and spinal injury
patients were not like any other patient with the same conditions.
The rheumatism patient’s condition was not much better than Old Madam Zeller’s. It was a long-term
illness. In the words of a traditional medicine practitioner, the patient was terminally ill.
Besides, the spinal injury patient’s condition was so severe that the pressure on the nerves caused the
patient’s entire body to be paralyzed. Moreover, their cerebral vessels were narrow. The chronic
narrowing of those vessels had already formed many blood clots. There was no way to bypass or
correct those.
In this situation, if the patient did not receive a stent during surgery, it would not be long before the
patient had aplete cerebral infarction and died. Bone correction?
Was that a joke? Jonathan had been a doctor for so many years. Didn’t he know that if he were
careless, the patient might die on the operating table? Forget it. She could not wait for them to kill the
patient, anyway. Both sides began their treatment. The first was surgery.

The leukemia patient underwent a bone marrow transnt surgery. Jonathan appointed Ludwig to be
the chief surgeon. Ludwig was very humble in front of Jonathan. He was afraid he could not do it.
Jonathan told him to be at ease and perform the surgery without worries.
During Ludwig’s surgery, Jonathan guided him throughout the surgery. Ludwig was worried that he
would not be able to perform well, but after receiving Jonathan’s guidance, he felt that his skills as a
chief surgeon had improved by leaps and bounds.
After this surgery, he felt the experience was more useful than observing ten surgeries. He was very
excited. He told himself that if he had the chance in the future, he would work with Jonathan. Jonathan
was working in Metropolis Hospital. Ludwig was determined to find a way to get hired there.
After finishing the surgery on the leukemia patient, theypleted the surgical part of the treatment
n. It was because they did not need surgery for the rheumatoid and spinal injury patients.
In the treatment room of the cervical spinal injury patient… The patient was lying on the bed with his
eyes closed, groaning in pain. Perhaps because he was in too much pain, but even his grunts were
feeble. It sounded as if he did not have long to live. Graham looked at the patient and frowned.
The patient was old, and his entire face wrinkled when he frowned. Graham asked Annalise, “Are we
going to fix his bone? Will it work?” Hector was also worried. “Anna, why don’t we choose a safer
method? We’ll operate first, then set the bones and treat him with acupuncture.”
If it were only a minor cervical spinal injury, they would choose traditional medicine techniques. After
all, they were traditional medicine practitioners through and through. However, the patient’s condition
was too severe. They did not even dare to set his bones. How could Annalise be confident enough to
do it at such a young age?
Normally, taking a little risk was not unreasonable, but this was apetition between traditional and
modern medicine. If the bone-setting procedure failed and caused the patient’s condition to be
more serious, it would directly affect the oue of theirpetition.
They were not being overly practical, but the result of thepetition would affect the development
prospects of traditional medicine. They wanted to develop traditional medicine and educate more
people about the benefits of traditional medicine. “Stop talking.” Annalise said. After all, they were her
elders. If anyone else were to nag her in such a situation, she would have told them to shut up.
She held the scan andpared it to the patient’s cervical spine. The physiological curvature had
straightenedpletely. In the third to the seventh cervical spine, four discs protruded from the
vertebrae, and they were very pronounced, narrowing the gaps between the vertebrae.
In such a situation, the patient was in a lot of pain. He would be dizzy for a long time, not to mention
that it would cause a series of thrombosis problems. In addition, due to the severity of the cervical
injury, the patient’s entire body was affected. He was already paralyzed. Annalise put down the scan
and prepared to set the bone.
Graham and Hector became even more anxious. “Anna, why don’t we discuss this n again?”
“Silence!” Annalise’s tone was sterner than before. After Annalise finished speaking, she stood on the
other side of the patient’s legs. She grabbed the patient’s legs and pulled them backward.
“Ah…” The patient screamed in pain. When Graham and Hector heard him scream, they looked at
each other and became even more anxious: Their eyes revealed a solemn expression. Annalise
walked to the patient’s side and suddenly pressed hard on the patient’s waist. “Ah-“The patient
screamed again.
