Chapter 842 Charlatan
Upon hearing the man's answer, Crystal's eyes widened as she didn't expect Brian to be so shameless.
Fortunately, the woman and her two sons were smart enough to know who was telling the truth, so she
immediately slapped Brian in the face. "You can screw yourself with your nonsense! If you're really so good, my
husband wouldn't be lying here for more than a fortnight! You're an idiotic charlatan with no sense of shat
all! Lettell you something. I'm going to speak with the dean and hear his explanation for myself!"
"H-How dare you hit me!" Brian's expression changed.
"Why wouldn't 1?" She laid a hand on him again while her two sons surrounded him intimidatingly.

"Sure, | dare you to because I'm planning to call the cops too." The woman chuckled and added, "It's tfor a
charlatan like you to face the music for nearly killing my husband. We'll see you in court!" Brian becworried
when he heard the woman's threat. After all, neither of the parties would gain from the situation should they
ever have to resolve their differences in court. While she would be barely affected by the lawsuit, he could find
himself in trouble for disgracing the hospital, which could spell the end of his career. Therefore, he quickly
pacified the angry woman. "Relax, Miss. There's no need to be so mad. Let's talk and see how we can sort this
out."
However, the woman didn't bother to look at Brian as she turned her attention to Matthew with a polite
response. "Thank you so much, Mr. Larson. I'm sorry for my foolishness and disrespect earlier, so please forgive

While her two sons also apologized, Matthew waved his hand and replied, "It's alright. The patient has almost
recovered anyway, and I'll write you a list of ingredients so that you can prepare the medicine he needs to take.
By then, he should be up and about again." He then shifted his gaze to Brian. "By the way, would you please
givea little privacy, Dr. Pierce? | have something I'd like to ask the patient about. Brian was stunned by
Matthew's response, finding it weird that Matthew would tell him to leave on his own turf. Nevertheless, he
reluctantly decided to do as told in the end without any objection. "What is it that you want to ask my husband
about, Mr. Larson?" The woman stood beside the bed. "He's been unconscious for days, so maybe | could answer
your question instead."
Nonetheless, Matthew shook his head with a smile and took three needles before he inserted them on the
patient's forehead and shoulders. Then, the unconscious man slowly opened his eyes as everyone watched in
awe and disbelief. At that moment, the woman and her sons couldn't help but feel amazed by Matthew's
extraordinary medical skills.
Soon, Matthew looked at the patient and asked, "Do you remember visiting anywhere with water before you fell
ill? I'm talking about the kind that we see in the wild, like a lake or river."
The patient appeared confused, seemingly still trying to get used to his current state. A few moments later, he

lake there called 'Cadmus Lake’, which was where we fished."
Matthew jotted down the location and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"I was busy during that period of time, so that was the only place where | went fishing." The patient shook his
head. "The rest of the places | visited had no water at all."
After that, Matthew continued to ask the man for a few more details until he narrowed the coverage and
understood what was roughly going on. Then, he wrote his prescription and gave it to the woman as she
gratefully thanked him for his help.
Meanwhile, Brian stood outside the door alone, feeling left out as neither one of them wanted to talk to him.
When she returned to the ward, she glared at him and clicked her tongue, yet he was too timid to refute her.
Upon leaving the hospital, Crystal asked in surprise, "Matthew, that man said he went to Cadmus Lake with his
friends, but none of them fell ill except for him. So, | bet the lake has nothing to do with his illness right?"
