Annoyed, Dominic snapped, “What do you know? I trust Director Larson!”
Alex was similarly determined. “Dad, I don’t trust him! We’re at the age of modern medical treatments, and they’re all westernized. No one uses acupuncture anymore! Mom’s health is at risk, so I won’t let you mess around!!”
This angered Dominic. “You—”
At once, Dennis tried to calm them down. “Mr. Garrison, Alex, how about this? My aunt will receive the treatment first, and we’ll see how it goes from there. If he fails, then he should not be treating Mrs. Garrison. Don’t you agree this is a good idea?”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Dennis in disdain. He was such a terrible person that he would risk his aunt’s health without hesitation just to curry favor with Mr. Garrison and his family.
How could he say such a thing? It was despicable.
At once, Dominic grimaced. On one hand, he had complete trust in Matthew but on the other hand, he was unable to change Alex’s mind.
“My apologies, Director Larson. Please forgive my son’s rudeness and stubbornness. Why don’t you treat Mrs. Martinez first?” Dominic uttered in embarrassment.
Nodding calmly, Matthew could clearly tell that Alex distrusted him.
Turning toward Ed’s mother, he began, “Mrs. Martinez, let us proceed with the treatment.”
She walked over rather decisively. “Sure. Sorry for the trouble, Matthew.”
Just as Matthew was about to begin, Dennis loudly declared, “Watch closely, everyone. My aunt is fine now. If something goes wrong after the treatment, he won’t be able to deny anything! Everyone can testify to that.”
Everyone then nodded.
Upon hearing this, Ed’s mother helplessly questioned, “Dennis, how could you say this? Matthew is doing me a favor, so how could you treat him this way? Don’t mind him, Matthew!”
Matthew chuckled, “Mrs. Martinez, you don’t have to be so formal with me. Alright, please lie down and don’t talk.”
As Ed’s mother closed her eyes, Matthew took out seven needles. He paused for a moment before swiftly inserting the needles into various points on her.
Instantly, everyone was bewildered. Matthew had inserted all seven needles in one breath, and it had happened so quickly that everyone could not keep up.
It didn’t matter whether he was able to cure the illness as everyone was amazed just from this alone.
He had pierced Ed’s Mother’s face with the seven needles. At once, everyone could see Ed’s mother’s complexion turning red, as if all her blood had rushed up to her head.
At this moment, Matthew took out the thickest needle before gently piercing the tip of her nose with it.
Then, Ed’s mother started to bleed excessively through her nose.
This shocked Ed and his father. “Wh-Why is she bleeding?”
Using this opportunity, Dennis shouted, “Matthew, what have you done to my aunt? She’s bleeding non stop! What bullsh*t medical skills is this? This is the first time I’ve heard of bleeding from acupuncture.
You’re indeed a fraud! Someone call the cops and get him arrested!”
Meanwhile, Alex looked like his suspicions were confirmed.
“Look, Dad. I told you acupuncture is an outdated form of treatment and illegitimate. How could acupuncture cure any illness?” Alex said while pursing his lips.
“This is impossible.” Dominic had a look of utter confusion.
“Director Larson’s medical skills are impeccable. Wh-What happened?”
As everyone was in a state of panic, Ed’s mother suddenly waved her hand. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. Oh, I don’t feel light-headed anymore.”
Upon hearing this, Ed’s eyes widened. Ever since his mother had cerebral hemorrhage, she had constantly complained of light-headedness. But now, she’s fine?
