Matthew shook his head. “After the Fruit of Mandala is completely dissolved, the medicinal properties are very strong. If one were to drink it all in an instant, it would be too strong. Miss Newman’s body is very weak. If she were to drink the medicine so quickly, it would not act as a tonic to replenish what she lacked.
Rather, it would become a poison to her. Therefore, I needed to use my needles to seal her meridians, then distribute the medicinal properties of the Fruit of Mandala to different parts of her body. With every needle I used, I was actually sealing her meridians.
This way, I can deliver the medicine throughout her body by feeding her two spoonfuls at a time. At the same time, it also prevents any negative impacts on Miss Newman.”
Seeming to reach a realization, Joseph sighed. “Mr. Larson, you really are godly! I never even imagined that there would be such a way to treat illnesses. After seeing your skills today, this old man has no more regrets in this life!”
Meanwhile, Billy was equally shocked too, and his respect and admiration for Matthew grew by leaps and bounds.
Half an hour later, Matthew took out the needles, one by one. During this process, everybody was surprised to notice that Brittany’s face was gradually regaining a rosy hue. Ever since she was born, she was afflicted with blood deficiency. Therefore, her complexion was always pale. Is Matthew’s treatment so effective?
Once all the needles had been taken out, Matthew gently asked, “Miss Newman, how do you feel?”
Brittany blushed slightly and whispered. “I… I’m so hungry…”
In response, Billy was taken aback. “Hungry? I-Is that true?”
Due to her physical condition, she normally ate very little. Throughout all these years, he had tried every method under the sky to make her eat a little more.
However, it was as if she lacked the very sense of hunger. Thus, it was the first time she had ever mentioned that she was hungry!
Then, Matthew nodded. “Looks like she’s cured now. Mr. Newman, please have the kitchen prepare some gruel for her.”
Billy was overjoyed and immediately waved his hand. “Hurry! Hurry! Ask the kitchen to prepare some gruel now! Prepare some gruel for the lady!”
The servants within the house were very excited. They immediately busied themselves with the preparations. After all, Brittany had always treated them very well. So, they were wishing for her recovery too.
After that, Billy emotionally said, “Mr. Larson, m-my daughter’s illness… Is it completely cured?”
Matthew replied, “We’ll know once we try.”
Billy was astonished. “How?” novelbin
Then, Matthew picked up a needle and said, “Miss Newman, I’m going to prick your finger.”
Upon hearing that, Brittany nodded and stretched out her right hand. Matthew used the needle to prick a small wound on her finger and blood immediately trickled out.
When Billy saw that, he was horrified. “Mr. Larson, m-my daughter has hemophilia. You can’t do that! She cannot suffer wounds on her body! Once there is an injury, it will be unable to heal and her blood won’t stop flowing…”
Matthew smiled. “Don’t worry. Just watch and see.”
Shockingly, Brittany’s finger bled for a short while, then it slowly stopped.
Thus, Joseph widened his eyes. “S-She’s really not bleeding anymore?! Mr. Newman, look! Look! It’s not bleeding anymore!”
On the other hand, Billy was so emotional that he was about to cry. Due to Brittany’s hemophilia, she lacked platelets in her blood. Hence, the blood from her wounds was unable to coagulate, and she would bleed non-stop. In the past, a small wound on her hand like that would bleed for a very long time.
Moreover, they needed to use a special method to stop the bleeding. His wife had the same disease too. For that reason, she had passed away during childbirth because they could not stop her bleeding.
Thus, he had been worried for so many years, living every day in fear that Brittany might receive an injury. Now that her wound stopped bleeding on its own, did that mean that her hemophilia had been cured?
All of a sudden, Billy stood up and bowed deeply to Matthew. In a trembling voice, he said, “Mr. Larson, thank you for saving my daughter! I will forever remember this debt! From today onward, please let me know if there’s anything I can help you with. Even if I have to go through hell and high water, I will never hesitate to help you!”
