Matthew shifted his gaze toward James. James had a severe energy imbalance, and Matthew needed to prepare medications to treat his condition. He considered which medication would be most suitable.

Upon seeing Matthew silent, Mike assumed he was speechless. “What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue? I knew you were trying to steal the spotlight. You probably saw the patient wake up and seized the opportunity. You randomly jabbed a few needles, trying to steal credit. Then you even boasted that you could wake a comatose patient? Just wait. We won’t let you off easily! Once the patient’s family learns the truth, you’ll be reported to the court. You’re not a hero; you’re a fraud!”

Fraud? Matthew furrowed his brows. He had been accused of being a fraud. Just how vicious could Mike be?

As Matthew was about to rebuke Mike, Leah approached. She knelt before Matthew, sobbing. “Thank you,” she cried. “Thank you for saving my husband. You didn’t just save him; you saved our entire family. You’re our hero.”

Matthew quickly reached out to help Leah up. “Please don’t kneel. I’m a doctor; it’s my duty to treat patients. I don’t deserve this.”

However, Leah remained kneeling. She turned and called to James, “Honey, come over and thank the doctor. The hospital said you were in a vegetative state, but he woke you up.”

James didn’t understand the whole story. However, seeing Leah’s reaction, he began to comprehend. He walked to Matthew and knelt. “Thank you. I’m the backbone of this family; without me, they wouldn’t survive. Thank you for saving me.”

Seeing this, their three children ran over and knelt as well. Matthew was overwhelmed as he tried to help them all up.

Meanwhile, Mike’s countenance was pallid. How could they believe Matthew had revived a vegetative person?

Unable to contain himself, Mike interjected, “Use your heads! How can someone without proper medical education wake a vegetative person? Don’t you find this funny? He just jabbed needles because he saw the patient waking up and successfully stole credit for it. You were fooled! You should sue him for fraud! Our hospital can testify and ensure he pays!”

James looked conflicted. Unsure how to respond, he turned to Leah. “Sweetheart…”

Leah signaled for James to be silent and walked toward Mike. “When I asked him to treat my husband, I said I wouldn’t hold him responsible if it didn’t work. I said I’d be incredibly grateful as long as he was willing to treat my husband. Now you say he tricked me, even asking me to sue him? Should I sue him for ‘tricking’ my husband back to life? If getting tricked means my husband wakes up, then I’ll gladly be tricked too! But when I begged you to help my husband, you said you couldn’t,” Leah said, agitated.

Mike’s face was filled with embarrassment. When Leah had learned James was in a vegetative state, she had indeed knelt and begged him. But how could that be comparable? “Can’t you see? He’s just gotten lucky. Think about it. He never studied medicine at a university. Unlike me, who holds a doctorate, he doesn’t have a degree, not even a bachelor’s or an associate’s. How could he possibly have the skills?”

Leah grew furious. Matthew hadn’t just saved James; he had saved her entire life. He had restored a father to her three children and brought their family back together. Her gratitude was inexpressible.

However, Mike continued to attack the man who had saved James’ life. Unable to stay silent, Leah angrily retorted, “I don’t care if you have a master’s degree or a doctorate. The best doctor is the one who woke up James. Don’t talk to me about qualifications. His medical skills are clearly far beyond yours. You should be learning from him!”
