Chapter 715
“Who’s that man?”
At this point, many people began speculating about Emmanuel’s identity.
He was the first one to suggest someone had poisoned the food, but how did
he know that before anyone had shown symptoms?
Suspicious!
However, Emmanuel ignored the surrounding gazes and addressed Juan,
“Because you just drank the tap water from the restaurant as well. You
absolutely cannot touch the source of the infection!”
“What is this guy talking about?”
The surrounding diners started discussing fervently.
“If drinking tap water can cause poisoning, I’ve drunk it too!”
“Right, according to him, food poisoning can be contagious. Ridiculous!”
“Could this be a virus?”
Amidst the discussions, someone finally stood up and loudly questioned
Emmanuel, “Hey, who are you? Why are you obstructing Dr. Gomez from
saving people? Could you be the one who poisoned them?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll eyes were focused on Emmanuel, like cold arrows directed at him.
“Shut up!” Juan rebuked them angrily. “Don’t spread baseless rumors! He’s a
prodigious doctor whose medical skills far surpass mine!”
“What?!” Everyone was shocked once again!
Juan had a great reputation in Yeringham, yet he now publicly claimed that
someone else’s medical skills were far superior to his!
Was he just being modest?
Then again, judging from his expression, he seemed to be serious about it.
Just then, Edith exclaimed in panic. “Oh no, Rhea just touched one of the
patients!”
What?! It was Emmanuel’s turn to be shocked.
Just a moment ago, they had been dining in the same private room, and he
knew that Rhea had also drunk the tap water from the restaurant. However,
the young woman hadn’t heard Emmanuel’s warning, as because of the
urgency of the situation, she, as a medical professional, rushed out and
immediately checked on the condition of the poisoned person’s eyes to
assess the situation.
And now, her delicate body was trembling, her fair face turning
purplish-black in an instant. She collapsed to the ground with a thud. Her
situation was even worse than that of the previous victim.
“Rhea!” Emmanuel quickly ran over and shouted at Juan, “Those who have
drunk the tap water must not touch the poisoned individuals! This is a
combination of unusual toxins! It can be transmitted through skin contact!
“People who have drunk the tap water will store a certain toxin in their bodies.
This toxin won’t act on its own, but as long as it comes into contact with
another source of poison, the person will be poisoned. Moreover, the poison
will mutate rapidly upon transmission, becoming more intense!”
Once again, after hearing his words, everyone fell into extréme panic.
This unusual poison was no modern virus but an ancient poison. Emmanuel
had happened to come across related case details in the ‘Divine Valley
Medical Records. However, he had never dreamed that he would encounter
it in his life so soon!
Currently, the other poisoned individuals could still hold on. Although they
were suffering, they were not in immediate danger. Rhea’s condition was the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmost severe, and she had lost consciousness in an instant.
Eleanor hurriedly followed Emmanuel to Rhea’s side.
He pressed Rhea’s acupuncture points, and she miraculously managed to
regurgitate the tap water she had just drunk!
Eleanor was astounded.
Having witnessed Emmanuel’s miraculous skills on various occasions, she
was now convinced that this man wasn’t just a prodigious physician; he was
a true deity!
Emmanuel paid no attention to her gaze and instead instructed her, “Ms.
Eleanor, this female patient won’t be able to hold on until we get her to the
hospital. Please quickly prepare silver needles and alcohol for me! Also, open
all the doors and windows of the restaurant to ensure ventilation!”
“Huh? Yes, right away!” Eleanor-snapped back to her senses and quickly
nodded in response.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Emmanuel first treated the first batch
of poisoned individuals. He extended two fingers and applied precise
pressure on their acupuncture points.
After a few consecutive moves, the poisoned individuals started vomiting out
the contents of their stomachs, and their complexions instantly cleared up.
“Wow, that’s amazing!”
