"Young man, indeed, my granddaughter made a wrong diagnosis, but Mr. Jadon's strange illness is beyond my ability to cure, and surely no one in the world can cure it. Therefore, this medical competition has no outcome, so how can we speak of victory or defeat?" Dr. Jensen's expression changed upon hearing this. If he admitted that Miss Jensen lost to Edmund, where would the Jensen family's dignity stand? Thus, the old man started to be unreasonable. "You can't cure it, but that doesn't mean I can't," Edmund said indifferently. "How can you cure it?" Dr. Jensen, of course, didn't believe him. He had been immersed in the medical field for decades and had found no solution. How could this young man, not born into a family of medical practitioners, have a solution? "That's a secret. Please, go have some tea in another room with Miss Jensen. After I treat Mr. Jadon, you can come back and see if there's any effect," Edmund said. "Dr. Jensen, it has been tough for you and Miss Jensen today. I will pay the consultation fee in full. Please allow Edmund to treat me," Mr. Jadon's voice, carrying a hint of vicissitude, soon came from behind the curtain. At this moment, Mr. Jadon was very excited. During this period, he had sought many famous doctors, but none could diagnose his recurrent poisoning, a fact he hadn't shared with Portia. However, Edmund hadn't even seen him but was able to accurately describe these issues, indicating his medical skills must be at their peak. Initially, Mr. Jadon absolutely trusted Dr. Jensen, thinking Edmund's medical skills couldn't compare. However, after this comparison, the superior choice was clear. "Dr. Jensen, Miss Jensen, please," Mr. Hill gestured politely. "Fine, I shall wait to see the effect," Dr. Jensen said, unwilling to admit defeat but not persisting without reason. He and Miss Jensen followed Mr. Hill to another room. Meanwhile, Edmund was invited behind the black curtain to treat Mr. Jadon, with Portia also following. Behind the curtain, there was a set of sofas and a coffee table, along with a sickbed. A tall figure, whose age was indiscernible, sat on the sofa, wearing a mask that obscured his face. Naturally, this person was Mr. Jadon. However, Edmund had already activated his clairvoyant ability, seeing Mr. Jadon's true face and the terrifying scars on his body. "Mr. Dawson, sorry for the oversight before, please forgive me. I have indeed been suffering from recurrent poisoning over the past half month, and the toxicity keeps changing. Why is that?" After inviting Edmund to sit, Mr. Jadon asked politely. "Mr. Jadon, about half a month ago, you must have been shot in the back. That's the crux of all your symptoms, apart from the internal injuries," Edmund explained. "Mr. Dawson, it's true I was shot, but that still doesn't explain everything," Mr. Jadon said, shocked but still puzzled. "The shot you took was from a shotgun, many small steel pellets entered your body. Each of these pellets was poisoned, and the poisons were different, acting at different times. Although you had someone remove these pellets, the poisons had already penetrated deep into your organs and meridians. Moreover, when these poisons combined randomly, they will produce new toxins. That's why you've been suffering from recurrent poisoning, and why the toxicity in your body keeps changing," Edmund said. "Indeed, I was hit by a shotgun. Mr. Dawson, you could discern all this without taking my pulse, you are truly a miraculous healer! As long as Mr. Dawson can cure me, I'm willing to pay any consultation fee," Mr. Jadon said, deeply shocked. "I am friends with Mr. Stones, and she has already paid the consultation fee," Edmund smiled and reassured him before taking out his silver needle kit. Conveniently, there was a sickbed available, so he asked Mr. Jadon to lie down. Moreover, Edmund didn't ask Mr. Jadon to undress, as he could identify the acupoints through clothing. The toxins in Mr. Jadon's body were indeed formidable, but they were not beyond Edmund's skill. He performed the Divine Harmony Needle technique, with the Eight Badge diagram faintly visible on his forehead. A phantom of the Eight Badge diagram enveloped Mr. Jadon, rotating continuously. Seeing this, Mr. Jadon felt even more convinced that choosing Edmund for his treatment was the right decision. Half an hour later, black, foul-smelling liquid began to drip from Mr. Jadon's fingertips into a prepared porcelain container. Needless to say, these were the toxins from Mr. Jadon's body. "Mr. Jadon, the toxins in your body have been essentially removed, and your internal injuries have mostly healed. You can call Dr. Jensen and Miss Jensen now," Edmund then put away his silver needles. Mr. Jadon got up and called Mr. Hill. Mr. Hill quickly brought Dr. Jensen and Sauterne over, and Edmund and Portia also emerged from behind the black curtain. Mr. Jadon still didn't want Dr. Jensen and Sauterne to see his true face, and Edmund guessed that this suburban villa probably wasn't Mr. Jadon's home but a temporarily arranged place. Mr. Jadon's level of secrecy about his identity was indeed rare. "It's really bizarre, Mr. Jadon's injuries have healed by ninety percent, and the poison in his body has been completely cleared. How... how is this possible..." After taking Mr. Jadon's pulse again through the black curtain, Dr. Jensen said with a darkened face, his voice trembling. He couldn't figure out how Edmund had treated Mr. Jadon. "Sauterne, you've lost completely this time. The matter of you becoming my maid, you can't go back on your word." Edmund started to laugh. "Me, a maid for you? Do you deserve it? You just got lucky and won against me." Sauterne's face grew colder, unable to believe she had lost to Edmund. "Lucky or not, you have lost. If you don't become my maid, the matter of today's medical competition will soon spread throughout Heavenhill City, even the entire Greenveile City. I'd like to see if the Jensen family cares about their face!" Edmund glanced at Sauterne and continued, "Moreover, you're cold as ice and have a fiery temper, which is a sickness in itself that needs to be treated. If left unchecked, even if a great deity intervened, it would be too late. I advise you to stop treating others and start caring more for your own life." "Edmund, you... you can tell what illness Sauterne has, and you can treat it?" Dr. Jensen was startled and then excited. "Of course, I can treat it. She is just naturally exuberant, suffering from an excessive liver fire, a case of misandry, and dislikes any man. If this illness isn't treated soon, it won't just end with her not liking men and being lonely for life. In a year, she will die from reverse blood flow." Edmund said indifferently. "Jerk, who are you calling will die from reverse blood flow!" Sauterne angrily pointed at Edmund, looking like she was about to take action. "You still won't admit it. See, you're already showing symptoms." Edmund laughed. "Sauterne, since you've lost to Edmund, you can't go back on your word. From now on, you just follow Edmund." However, Dr. Jensen quickly tried to stop Sauterne from taking action. Indeed, Sauterne was born with a condition beyond any medical remedy. Perhaps in this whole world, only Edmund might have a way. He couldn't let his pride harm Sauterne and let her really die in a year. Now, he was more than willing to send Sauterne to Edmund's side. Even better, if Sauterne and Edmund could become a couple, it would elevate the Jensen family's reputation in the medical field to a new height. This old fox's thoughts were very lively. "Grandpa, you..." Sauterne was stunned. Her grandfather had always been extremely protective, yet he was advising her to serve Edmund? This was unimaginable! Of course, Edmund knew why Dr. Jensen's attitude had changed so quickly. He immediately said indifferently, "Dr. Jensen, whatever you're thinking, I know very well. But whether I treat Sauterne's misandry depends on my mood. If she behaves like a maid in front of me, making me comfortable, I might consider it. Otherwise, forget it." "Edmund, this is my granddaughter's business card. I still have to take her to handle some private matters. In a few days, I'll have her contact you to serve you closely. She is capable both in the hall and the kitchen. I believe you will be satisfied with her." Dr. Jensen was not angry but instead gave Edmund a business card and also took Edmund's phone number, then he left with Sauterne. Soon, they were in the car in the villa's underground garage. "Grandpa, do I really need to become a maid for Edmund? The Jensen family cares about reputation, don't I care about mine? Besides, Edmund just got lucky. If we really compete in medical skills, can't I surpass someone who has been in prison?" Sauterne anxiously said. If this matter spread, how could she face anyone? "Sauterne, reputation is not important. Edmund's medical skills are not only far above yours but also above mine. Today's medical competition is not just a loss for you but also for me." Dr. Jensen sighed, "Edmund said you would die from reverse blood flow in a year, and it's not to scare you. I didn't tell you before because I didn't want you to live in fear. Therefore, whatever he asks you to do, as long as there's no danger to your life, you can agree." "Grandpa, don't you care about me at all?" Sauterne became anxious. "What if this guy takes advantage of me? I'm still a girl!" "That's okay, too. If he could become my grandson-in-law, that would be even better. It would be killing two birds with one stone." Dr. Jensen laughed, hoping for such an outcome. "But he's already married to Merlot." Sauterne became even more anxious. "Merlot only has a few days left to live. Afterward, Edmund will be free. Trust me, this young man is probably a dragon among men. If you can catch him, you'll grab a lifetime of happiness." Dr. Jensen said, "This excellent fate, you must grasp it. A woman chasing a man is separated by a mere layer of gauze. You're so beautiful, just take the initiative a bit, and capturing Edmund will be a matter of minutes."
