Son-in-Law Is a Medical Genius
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 villa.

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 Mandala 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 Mandala was placed 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 placed the medicinal ingredients together, mashed them with a mortar, placed 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 placed the Fruit of Mandala into the medicinal liquid. Meanwhile, everybody had been watching the entire process intently. To their surprise, the Fruit of Mandala reacted like ice dropped into hot water-it instantly dissolved into the liquid.

"H-How?!" Joseph exclaimed in astonishment. Although the Fruit of Mandala 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 had completely dissolved the fruit!

In response, Matthew smiled. "Everything in this world reacts and counteracts with each other. The entire Fruit of Mandala is completely 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 to completely dissolve the Fruit of Mandala 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 Mandala completely dissolved, the medicinal liquid within the bowl changed color. It was originally black, 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 discomforted—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 hour later 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?"
