Chapter 19 Unexpected Circumstance
"What?" The crowd asked curiously upon hearing Maxwell's exclamation.
Maxwell read out the diagnosis result from Zachary, "Mild blockage of blood vessels, mild muscle weakness secondary to degeneration, and chronic nerve damage in the right-hand pinkie."
The front part of the diagnosis was the same as that of Andrew. However, the diagnosis result from Zachary was not finished yet.
"Occasional tinnitus in the left ear, mild presbyopia..." The rest of the page was full of such specific yet unnoticeable symptoms.
"There are more than 20 symptoms listed here and they are all extremely accurate. I wouldn't have realized it if Zachary didn't write it down. There will be more problems as I age," Maxwell sighed and said. He confirmed that Zachary's diagnosis was correct.
The guests were also shocked. Their impression of Zachary had changed.
Zachary had not only diagnosed Maxwell's three major symptoms, he also pointed out more than twenty mild symptoms. Such medical skills were astonishing.
Petty, who had just slandered Zachary, was despised by many people at this moment.
Andrew's face darkened and he was no longer smiling. His fair hands clenched into fists, trembling with anger.
In order to be faster than Zachary in diagnosing the medical conditions, Andrew didn't carry out a thorough examination. And because he did not have the relevant instruments to aid in his diagnosis, he was only able to diagnose the chronic nerve damage in Maxwell's right pinkie because he had heard this from his grandfather before. Unexpectedly, that lowlife bast*rd could diagnose it and even describe the symptoms more accurately and thoroughly than Andrew did. After taking a glance at Yohannes and Andrew, Maxwell looked at Zachary with an apologetic face, "Both of you managed to diagnose my condition. You two are young talents. Medical skills are about treating patients and saving people's lives. Well, I think this is the end of the competition."
Maxwell said this for the sake of his old friend to prevent Andrew from being humiliated.
However, Andrew, who was determined to win the second round to humiliate Zachary, couldn't accept the result of their challenge.
He glared at Zachary while gnashing his teeth, and said, "The diagnosis of medical conditions is just the first step. The most important part of treating patients is to cure their diseases and save their lives. Master Sue, I can cure your illnesses right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Andrew clapped his hands and brought a machine the size of a mobile phone. He said to Maxwell, "Master Sue, this is the latest muscular massage device. I was involved in this research when I was overseas. With the latest high-frequency ultrasound vibration technology, it can cure muscle degeneration and nerve damage effectively."
Then, Andrew took out a small glass bottle the size of a finger. The bottle contained a bright green liquid. He said, "Master Sue, this is the essence extracted from Summerise Ginseng. After taking it and using the massage device, you will be able to see the pharmacological effect after a quarter of an hour. Your diseases will be cured completely within a week."
Vanessa walked over with a solemn face before Andrew could pass the liquid to Maxwell. She stopped in front of Andrew and said sternly, "Andrew, I won't let grandpa take this unknown medicine."
"Vanessa, this is not an unknown medicine. This is the essence of the Summerise Ginseng. Do you think I will hurt Master Sue?" "You..."
Vanessa was so angry that she did not know what to say. Maxwell waved his hand, interrupting Vanessa. Then, he smiled, and took the medicine and massage device. "Andrew has a good intention. I'll just give it a try then. I'm already old anyway."
"Grandpa!" Vanessa said worriedly. She knew her grandfather's medical conditions well. He had sought treatment from a lot of Chinese physicians and doctors. However, his illnesses could not be cured. He couldn't move his finger at all. This greatly impacted his quality of life.
Andrew was just trying to defeat Zachary. Therefore, he didn't think much about it. He put on the massage device on Maxwell quickly. After seeing Maxwell taking the medicine, he said confidently, "Master Sue, please don't worry. I was involved in the research of this device. It is very effective. It will definitely cure your illness."
"I hope so," Maxwell smiled and wiped the residual liquid at the corner of his mouth.

The massage device buzzed in the silent hall. Everyone was focusing on Maxwell.
"My fingers seem to be getting warm," Maxwell stated with a smile after a while.
"Master Sue, this indicates that this device is taking effect on you. The muscle is slowly regenerating," Andrew explained proudly while looking at Zachary provocatively.
"It's getting hotter and hotter," Master Sue said. His cheeks were becoming ruddy. Everyone was amazed by this. They began to discuss where they could get the massage device and Summerise Ginseng. "The medicine is exerting its pharmacological effect. We will see the result soon," Andrew said.
All of a sudden, Zachary's facial expression changed. He rushed forward and shouted, "Stop!"
Andrew had been staring at Zachary the whole time. He stretched out his arms to block Zachary when he saw Zachary rushing towards them. "What are you doing?"
Zachary glanced at Maxwell's cheeks, which were growing redder. He said anxiously, "There's something wrong with your medicine. Stop the device now."Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Andrew sneered. He blocked Zachary's way and continued, "You realize that I'm going to cure Master Sue soon. So, you're just trying to stop me. You're so ridiculous!" "Go away!" Zachary was angered and he shoved Andrew away. Andrew fell to the ground, rolling a few times before coming to a stop.
"Bast*rd! How dare you..." Seeing his grandson being pushed, Yohannes glared at Zachary and shouted.
Maxwell gasped, "It's too hot!"
"Grandpa!" Vanessa cried out when she saw her grandfather's face steaming and red hot. She immediately knew something had gone wrong. She screamed and ran over to her grandfather. Zachary rushed over quickly. He pulled the massage device on Maxwell's hands away and put him flat on the ground. Then, he put his fingers on Maxwell's wrist and began to take his pulse. Everyone fell into dead silence. No one expected that the medical device from overseas would cause such a life-threatening condition.
Andrew laid on the ground and looked at Maxwell who had fallen into a coma, muttering, "Why would this happen? It's impossible..."
Yohannes glared at Andrew and strode over, ready to help. However, he was stopped by Vanessa.
Zachary's facial expression became grave after diagnosing the condition. He ripped off Maxwell's shirt and took out a set of silver needles from his bag. He moved as fast as lightning performing the acupuncture on Maxwell.
Within moments, Maxwell's chest was stabbed with a bunch of needles in the blink of an eye. The needles were still spinning after being stabbed into the chest. An intermittent red line appeared on Maxwell's chest. This method was known as Firstie Spike, which was the first spike of Zachary's Miraculous Nine Spikes.
After performing the acupuncture, Zachary did not stop. He pinched Maxwell's right wrist. Then, he bent his thumb and pressed it hard into Maxwell's palm.
After a few minutes of treatment, Maxwell's face, which was red hot, finally cooled down and returned to its normal color.
Upon seeing this, Zachary let out a long sigh of relief. His forehead was covered in a layer of sweat. He looked extremely exhausted.
