Evergreen Hospital was located south of the Medical Doctors Association, with a little more than three
hundred yards in between each respective building.
The advantage of such a geographical location was rather evident. If a patient with a complicated
condition stumped the doctors from Evergreen Hospital, they could call on the Association for help.
This was also the case for today as Roland personally led more than a dozen people toward the
hospital.
"Mr. Moore, welcome. This way, please." When Jordan Burton, vice director of Evergreen Hospital, was
informed of Roland's arrival, he immediately came to greet him personally.
"Dr. Burton, sorry for the inconvenience." Since the purpose of the visit this time wasn't business but to
test Matthew's skills, Roland felt a little awkward as their actions placed the hospital staff in a difficult
position. Yet, by doing so, the hospital was forced to cooperate with them in several aspects.
However, that didn't seem to bother Jordan. In contrast, he appeared especially welcoming. "Oh, think
nothing of it. On behalf of all patients, I would like to extend our warmest welcome to everyone for
conducting the test in our hospital."
While they exchanged polite pleasantries, they soon reached the ward building. "Mr. Moore, the sixth-
floor patients are rather baffling, but most of them aren't in critical condition. Then, I'll be leaving them
in your capable hands, Mr. Moore."
Jordan stole a glance at the bed next to him with a pained look in his eyes. It wasn't because the
doctors in the hospital were incompetent but because there were simply too many diseases in the C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
world. As a result, there would always be a few patients that would slip through the cracks due to their
rare condition.
In some cases, they could barely save the patients' lives, forget about curing them entirely. It didn't help
that some patients' conditions were so complicated that even the experts hailing from the Association
couldn't find the source behind their symptoms.
When the elevator came to a stop with a soft ding, Jordan led them out to their examination venue.
Matthew didn't speak a word as he followed them to ward 605.
Right after he set foot into the room, he saw a pallid-looking young man listlessly lying on the hospital
bed. Although his eyes were bloodshot, they were blank as he kept unconsciously scratching himself
all over.
"Mr. Moore, this man is named Tony Grimes, and currently—"
Before Jordan could finish, Emmanuel quickly cut him off. "Dr. Burton, let us try to diagnose his
condition. We specially brought a young miracle doctor here today to test his skills, and this test will
lose its purpose if you tell us our patient's condition today."
Although Jordan didn't know the reason behind Emmanuel's actions, Jordan had known him for a long
time and decided to play along. Therefore, he kept mum after introducing the patient's name to the
others in attendance today.
"Dr. Larson, we won't make things difficult for you. So, why don't we start with this patient here?"
Emmanuel said, stepping aside to make way for Matthew.
Frankly, he had been in contact with this patient before and knew exactly what Tony's condition was.
Nonetheless, Tony's illness was like a puzzle he couldn't solve. He had no clue how to treat him or
even what medication to prescribe.
Meanwhile, Roland immediately figured out that Emmanuel was clamoring for attention and deliberately
picking on Matthew. Nonetheless, he didn't say anything and merely shot Emmanuel a cold glare
before stepping to the side.
Even though he was highly unsatisfied with Emmanuel's behavior, he couldn't throw a fit in front of so
many people.
Matthew swept his gaze across the room and deftly ignored the smirks and curious eyes on him. He
was well aware that he was being set up, but he didn't take them to heart as he confidently strode to
the hospital bed.
Based on his preliminary assessment, he could deduce that Tony was suffering some sort of illness
due to the welts dotting his skin. Judging from Tony's incessant scratching, he reckoned that the itch
was so intolerable that he had been clawing himself bloody after ignoring his condition didn't seem to
work.
The moment Tony laid his eyes on a bunch of doctors that were surrounding him and doing nothing to
ease his burden, all hell broke loose. From his perspective, he was forced to bed rest for days and
hadn't seen a single shred of hope despite seeing one doctor after another.
"Leave! Ahh, I've been hospitalized for a week, and I'm still here! Aargh… It's useless! All you doctors
know is how to cheat me of my money!"
