The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 241-245
Chapter 241
Xyla felt extremely aggrieved and unconvinced. Gritting her teeth, she declared, โI want to compete with him. If heโs truly qualified, Iโll apologize.โ
โHow long will you maintain this attitude?โ Anthony yelled angrily at his granddaughter.
The middle-aged Moore family member was surprised. No one expected Charlie Wade to surpass Dr. Simmons in skill and strength.
Sandwich was also confused. What did Dr. Simmons mean? Did he believe this young man possessed genuine abilities?
How could this be possible? Could they really rely on him? Was Anthony truly impressed by Charlie Wade's skills?
Charlie Wade observed Xylaโs dissatisfaction; her face flushed with rage. Finding this amusing, he asked, โHow would you like to compete?โ
Rolling her eyes, Xyla replied with a smirk. โEveryone here has unique signs and symptoms. Weโll diagnose based solely on facial observations.โ They would be forbidden from checking pulses. This was exceptionally difficult. Even Dr. Simmons might not perfectly diagnose solely from facial examination.
This was Xyla's unique skill. Having been by her grandfather's side since age one, she had observed tens of thousands of patients. Her exceptional memory allowed her to recall symptoms and classify ailments. Gradually, she learned to diagnose solely from facial features.
โXyla, arenโt you making things difficult for Mr. Wade?โ Anthony asked, frustrated.
Unexpectedly, Charlie Wade simply nodded and smiled. โAlright then. Iโll compete.โ
Anthony, silent, prepared to watch the contest.
โIโll go first,โ Xyla said excitedly. She advanced, meticulously observing each person's face.
About ten minutes later, Xyla smiled. โBased on the horizontal lines on his forehead, Uncle Moore has hypertension. He follows a light diet, avoiding excessive meat and fish.โ
The middle-aged Moore family member exclaimed, โYouโre a wizard, Miss Xyla! I do have high blood pressure.โ
Xyla then pointed at Reuben. โThe area under your eyebrows is red, and your eyes are cloudy. You have a recent lung infection.โ
Reuben smiled. โI appreciate your skill, Miss Xyla. I had a lung infection last week, but Iโve fully recovered.โ
Xyla continued, โMiss Moore, your menstrual irregularities are likely stress-related.โ
Jasmine agreed. Xyla accurately diagnosed everyone. Everyone was happily surprised, praising Anthonyโs training. Anthony was also proud.
Finally, Xyla looked at Charlie Wade, smiling victoriously. โMr. Wade, you have the most serious condition! You have severe heart problems!โ
Charlie Wade smiled. โI didnโt expect such incredible skills at your age. However, you missed some details. Let me add those.โ
Chapter 242
Charlie Wade pointed to the middle-aged Moore family member. โBesides hypertension, he also suffers from diabetes and heart palpitations. He also has an old injuryโa fractured rib on his left side, from about ten years ago.โ
The middle-aged man was astounded. โMr. Wade, your skills are extraordinary! How did you know about the diabetes and fractured rib? I cracked a rib in a car accident thirteen years ago.โ
Charlie Wade grinned, pointing at Sandwich. โYour lung infection stems from excessive alcohol consumption, overtaxing your kidneys. Your biggest issue is kidney insufficiency. You need a checkup.โ
Reuben felt embarrassed and retorted, โWho do you think you are? My kidneys are perfectly fine!โ He wouldn't admit to kidney problems.
Charlie Wade continued, โKidney insufficiency indicates declining function. Untreated, it will worsen, affecting kidney function and potentially leading to uremia. Please get it checked. Early intervention offers hope; delay necessitates a transplant!โ
Reuben, furious, was about to refute him, but the middle-aged man stopped him.
Charlie Wade looked at Jasmine. โMiss Moore, your body is affected by the โdragon encapsulationโ incident. Although youโve experienced menstrual irregularities, your cycle began last night and is now regular. Future cycles will be timelier.โ
Jasmine was stunned. How did he know her menstruation started last night?
Xyla was also astonished. She couldn't diagnose these conditions solely from facial examination. How could Charlie Wade do it without checking pulses? Was it a lucky guess?
Biting her lip, Xyla asked, โMr. Wade, was I right about your heart condition?โ
โIs that what you believe?โ Charlie Wade replied, smiling. He extended his hand. โDr. Simmons, could you check my pulse?โ
Hesitant, Anthony felt Charlie Wade's pulse, then glared at Xyla. โNonsense! Youโre making a fool of yourself! Apologize to Mr. Wade immediately!โ
โGrandpa, did I say anything wrong?โ Xyla asked.
Anthony sighed. โCheck his pulse yourself. Youโre wrong!โ
Xyla couldn't believe her ears. Sheโd never been wrong before. She checked Charlie Wadeโs pulse and was stunned. His heart was perfectly healthy. Was he pretending to have a weak heart to trick her? If so, he possessed exceptional reiki control! He was practically a godโฆ
Chapter 243
Xyla finally understood. Charlie Wade had been giving her face. Anthony was also shocked. He realized Charlie Wade was intentionally reversing his reiki flow to create the illusion of a heart condition. This caused significant pain, yet Charlie Wade showed no discomfort; his skills must have been cultivated for at least fifty to a hundred years!
Anthony knew Charlie Wade was a master. He feared repercussions if Charlie Wade was angered.
Anthony glared at Xyla. โMr. Wade is highly skilled in reiki. You gave the wrong diagnosis. Apologize!โ
He bowed to Charlie Wade. โI apologize for my granddaughterโs behavior. I will punish her.โ
Xyla, humbled, admitted Charlie Wadeโs superior skills.
Charlie Wade waved his hands. โThe purpose of medicine is saving people. Thereโs no comparison. If I encounter an unknown condition, Iโd also seek advice.โ
This made Anthony feel even more embarrassed, but he admired Charlie Wadeโs humility. Charlie Wade's skills far surpassed his own, yet he remained humble. He was extraordinary! Anthony believed no one could surpass Charlie Wadeโs level.
Anthony spoke respectfully. โI never expected to meet someone like you, Mr. Wade. I hope youโll offer your advice in the future.โ
Everyone was shocked by their interaction. Dr. Simmons, the leading physician in the northern region, was asking Charlie Wade for advice! This was astounding.
Chapter 244
Charlie Wade eyed Anthony. โDr. Simmons, you asked your granddaughter to treat Lord Moore because of your internal injury, correct?โ
Xyla was surprised, but quickly composed herself. This was expected given Charlie Wade's skills. She explained her grandfather was resting to recover from internal injuries, initially refusing Reuben's request for Lord Moore's treatment.
Charlie Wade asked in surprise, โWhat magical pill is that?โ Anthony revealed it cost five million dollars, but was worth it; he felt better after taking half. Everyone gathered to see the pill. As soon as Anthony opened the jade box, a strong medicinal aroma filled the air. He cut a small piece for the middle-aged man and Sandwich. They hesitated, then consumed it.
The middle-aged man was astonished. โDr. Simmons! What kind of medicine is this? The dull pain in my chest from my old fracture is gone!โ
Sandwich was also stunned. โMy lungs always felt uncomfortable, but I feel much better!โ
Anthony grinned. โSo, you understand now!โ
The middle-aged man was amazed. โThis pill is incredible. If you can replicate it, Iโm willing to pay a fortune!โ
Anthony sighed. โIโve tried to analyze its ingredients, but canโt replicate the formula. This is likely the only one left.โ
Seeing the pill, Charlie Wade was stunned, then laughed. โDr. Simmons, you bought this for five million dollars?โ
โYes,โ Anthony replied, โFive million isnโt much. Iโd pay ten million for another!โ
โI believe youโre aware of its potency. My friend said it was made by a master over 150 years old. He spent three days begging the master to sell it for five million! The master has left and is difficult to find.โ
The middle-aged man sighed. โFive million isn't expensive for such a pill!โ
Xyla, still uncomfortable, saw Charlie Wade suppress laughter. โWhatโs so funny? Donโt tell me you look down on this pill?โ
Charlie Wade was startled by her aggressive tone. โI made this pill, Dr. Simmons. You were cheated.โ
Chapter 245
The room fell silent. Everyone stared at him in shock. Anthony was stunned. He couldn't believe the young man before him created the pill he believed came from a legendary master. And Charlie Wade called it a semi-finished product?
The middle-aged Moore family member was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe Jasmine knew someone like this! The Moore family would be healthy and prosperous with this young man by their side. Regardless of wealth or power, health was paramount. If Lord Moore could live five more years, it would be a blessing.
Sandwich was also shocked; he had scorned Charlie Wade earlier. He felt anxious. He had mocked a true master!
Anthony bowed to Charlie Wade. โMr. Wade, Iโve suffered from internal injuries for a long time. Please make more of this pill. I'll pay ten million.โ
The middle-aged man also bowed. โMr. Wade, please make more for the Moore family. Weโll also pay ten million.โ
Charlie Wade replied calmly. โI donโt need your money, but Iโll make more since itโs easy. Since youโre sincere, Iโll give you all some.โ
The middle-aged man exclaimed, โMr. Wade, you are the benefactor of the Moore family!โ He brought a stool and wiped it clean. โPlease sit, Mr. Wade.โ Sandwich offered tea. Jasmine stared in shock. She couldn't believe Charlie Wade was so skilled and powerful. Why was he the Wilson family's son-in-law? Why wasn't he tempted by twenty million dollars? He was far more capable than he seemed. But why was such a powerful person the Wilson family's son-in-law?
Anthony sighed. โMr. Wade, you are unbelievable! So competent, yet so humble. Even if I lived another century, I couldn't compare to youโฆโ
