"Who was that old man just now?
Why did they let him in so casually?"
Evan Palmer was the only person present who didn’t know the identity of Master Lowe.
He has always been a proponent of Western medicine and knows very little about Chinese medicine.
"Vice President Palmer, that was Master Lowe of the Chinese medicine community," said Adam Willow with a face full of reverence.
"A renowned figure in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Industry?
More authoritative than Lucas Reed?"
Evan Palmer’s tone was full of skepticism. The way that old man and Emily Parker were pulling and dragging at each other, it didn’t look like he was any sort of eminent authority.
Shouldn’t experts of this caliber only serve national leaders?
Doctor Reed smiled somewhat awkwardly,
"Ah, Evan, don’t ridicule me.
I do hold some status in the medical community, but there are others with similar status in the Western medicine field. However, in the field of Chinese medicine, individuals like Master Lowe are few and far between."
Evan Palmer couldn’t help but be suspicious. Emily Parker is just a nurse, right? How did she get involved with a grandmaster of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Industry?
"Doctor Reed, is there an observation room in the operating theater?" asked Carlos suddenly.
He couldn’t directly enter the operating theater, but he needed someone to answer his questions.
He had to clarify whether Emily Parker was related to the Ghost Doctor or not.
After a while, Doctor Reed led them to the observation room next to the operating theater.
The observation room was separated by a giant glass pane, allowing them to see inside the operating theater.
However, those in the operating theater were not aware that they were being observed.
"If Emily Parker is the Ghost Doctor, perhaps it’s just a facade, she should be the one performing the acupuncture for Grandpa," thought Carlos to himself.
Much to his disappointment, it was Master Lowe who performed the acupuncture from start to finish in the operating room.
His technique was the same as what the Ghost Doctor used to treat their mother.
Carlos’s brows furrowed more and more tightly.
Could it be that he was overthinking it, and Emily Parker wasn’t the Ghost Doctor at all, but Master Lowe was?
Looking at Master Lowe again, the old man was thin and not very tall, bearing some resemblance to the Ghost Doctor.
In the operating room, Master Lowe had already inserted the last needle.
He let out a sigh of relief; he had been performing acupuncture for a lifetime and had never been as nervous as he was today.
This was the first time his mentor had allowed him to officially use the Plum Divine Needle.
Thankfully, Old Master Carter’s condition was not as bad as imagined, and everything went smoothly.
When Master Lowe and Emily Parker came out of the operating theater, Maria Carter quickly walked over,
"Grandpa Lowe, I really want to thank you this time, for saving my grandpa."
"You must be the young lady from the Carter Family.
You don’t need to thank me."
Master Lowe thought to himself that if anyone should be thanked, it should be Emily Parker. He had noticed during Old Master Carter’s acupuncture that the old man’s condition wasn’t severe and didn’t need surgery at all.
He later discovered that Old Master Carter had been chewing on a pill.
That one pill saved Old Master Carter.
"Maria, you shouldn’t thank the wrong person.
Even though your grandpa is fine this time, it’s thanks to the timely treatment at Love & Kindness Hospital.
Although Chinese medicine is profound and extensive, it isn’t effective for conditions like cerebral hemorrhages.
Old Master Carter still needs to undergo another examination before we can draw conclusions."
Evan Palmer had also seen from the observation room; Master Lowe had merely inserted a few needles, and Old Master Carter’s complexion still looked as pale as before.
He had heard of many cases of cerebral hemorrhage caused by high blood pressure, but he had never heard of anyone recovering from just a few acupuncture needle insertions.
Master Lowe also sensed Evan Palmer’s distrust in his medical skills; besides being a bit more polite around Emily Parker, Master Lowe was known to be a stubborn old man.
Let alone facing Evan Palmer, he never spoke courteously to anyone, even in reputable medical circles.
"We need to run tests, right? Then let’s proceed with a thorough examination."
When Master Lowe arrived, his young mentor was being troubled by these so-called Western doctors.
He had no intention of letting them off the hook. The most update n0vels are published on N()velFire.net
Adam Willow immediately arranged for Old Master Carter to undergo further examinations.
Meanwhile, others waited outside.
Carlos stood beside Master Lowe and smelled a faint fragrance coming from the old man.
"Old man, what is this scent on you?"
The scent Carlos detected was somewhat similar to that on Emily Parker.
"Oh, that’s the smell of incense."
Master Lowe replied offhandedly. He had recently been helping out at Emily Parker’s small clinic where he had found the scent of the incense there quite pleasing, so he had brought some back with him.
Could it be that Emily Parker’s fragrance was also due to Master Lowe?
Carlos’s expression turned even grimmer.
So he had indeed made a mistake; Master Lowe was the real Ghost Doctor.
The person who had supported him by his waist while sitting on the bicycle that night was actually an old man.
Just thinking about that scene made Carlos feel terrible.
At that moment, they heard a chorus of exclamations from the nurses.
Carlos, hearing the noises, feared something had happened to Elder Carter again; he and Maria Carter rushed into the operating theater as well.
Evan Palmer scoffed coldly, knowing that Chinese medicine’s acupuncture was completely useless.
After this stroke, the Carter Clan might indeed have to change leadership.
Only then did Evan Palmer enter, adopting an anxious demeanor.
Inside, both Doctor Reed and Adam Willow displayed expressions of utter shock.
