In reality, Ellie had no idea who Emmanuel was, so when she was brought to Emmanuel and Smith,
she looked confused and a little panicked.
“Don’t be afraid. We’re here to help you! We’d like your stool sample to see if you have poisoning!”
Emmanuel said, but Ellie showed no excitement. Not only that, but she also resisted quite strongly,
backing away and refusing, “No! I don’t want to! Please, just let us die in peace!”
Emmanuel and Smith were quite surprised and couldn’t help but nce at eac
“Has the illness tormented you so much that you’re desperate for death?” Smith in broken Chanaean.
Ellie pretended not to understand, pursing her lips and not responding. Emmanuel thought there was
something fishy about this. The fact that this girl had no will to thinking she was better off dead, led him
to specte that maybe she was coerced cooperating with someone to discredit the Terence Group.
The story behind this had to be investigated thoroughly. However, the immediate priority was to
determine the cause of these patients’ illnesses.
Emmanuel whispered a few words to Rob, and thetter nodded, instructing Finnian to forcibly conduct
the stool test on her. Finnian’s expression was quite strange; nothing escaped Emmanuel’s eyes.
Regardless, ultimately, Finnian agreed and had someone administer axative to Ellie.
Before administering the medicine, Emmanuel checked Ellie’s pulse and abdomen silently. Smith didn’t
know these techniques and could only stand by helples small lump of dark, hard stool was brought
before Emmanuel and Smith.
Emmanuel, wearing gloves, touched the stool, which was as hard as iron, with fingers, and to
everyone’s shock, he then put his finger into his mouth.
Holy crap! Shane was dumbfounded. He couldn’t believe what Emmanuel was doiText ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
He was just joking earlier. Little did he think he would hit the nail on the head!
Frederick also looked astonished. He never thought his friend would go this far to diagnose a patient.
That said, it was all to save him. He was touched.
Only Beatrix remained rtively calm, although she was also surprised, but not as exaggerated as the
others. On the other hand, Smith touched the substance with his fingers as well, but only to check its
condition, without trying its taste as Emmanuel did.
However, the next moment, Emmanuel made a diagnosis. “These patients have cadmium poisoning!”
D*mn! Smith and Rob were utterly astonished. Smith, in particr, immediat instructed his assistant to
arrange for a chemical test. Of course, they also arra a sample to be taken back to their hospital. With
this, even if Finnian wanted to with the results, it wouldn’t make much difference.
After everything was arranged, Smith returned to Emmanuel.
At this point, Rob was also seeking advice from Emmanuel, “Mr. Lowe, the substance you tested, just
by looking at it, one can tell it’s the result of long-term constipation. But multiple heavy metal poisonings
could also cause constipation. How did you determine it was cadmium poisoning?”
Emmanuel smiled mysteriously. “Have you heard of ‘Dioscorides’ De Materia Medica”?”
“Are you judging by the taste?” Rob eximed with revtion. “I’ve heard of Dioscorides tasting
various herbs and encountering seventy-two poisons. It’s thanks to such figures that Chanaean
medicine has developed rapidly and greatly!
“I didn’t expect you traditional medicine practitioners to inherit such spirit an wonder your medical skills
are so impressive, Mr. Lowe! Inparison, we mo medicine practitioners are indeed far inferior in this
regard!” Rob’s words made feel ufortable. Emmanuel made the diagnosis first. Even if the results
of the chemical tests confirmed it, they would still lose. Moreover, the look in Rob’s eyes moment
seemed to be full of disappointment toward him.
Smith was Rob’s proudest disciple. Continuously losing to Emmanuel somewhat tarnished the
reputation of their sect. More importantly, his master’s gaze probably expressed disappointment that
modern medicine’s dedication to research wasn’t as good as traditional medicine’s.
If Emmanuel could do it, why couldn’t he? He just needed to taste the sample and borate on itter,
elevating his skills.
