Chapter 838 The Troublemaker
On the other hand, Matthew couldn't be bothered about the department director as he was observing the
patient. At the stime, Crystal stood beside him and asked, "Have you found anything, Matthew?" Matthew
nodded and answered, "Turn around and look away now."
"Why?" she asked.
When Crystal pouted and reluctantly did as she was told, Matthew produced three needles and used his palm to
apply pressure on the patient's chest. Feeling as if there was a layer of liquid beneath the patient's skin, he
didn't desperately try to perform an acupuncture therapy on the patient. Instead, Matthew patiently continued to
massage the man for the next three minutes until the patient's shoulders twitched a little.

Then, Matthew quickly inserted the three needles he had prepared earlier through the patient's skin, only to see
something bulging beneath it, as if it was trying to get out of his body from the inside. At the sight of this strange
phenomenon, Matthew instantly applied more pressure on it with his hands and took out seven more needles to
secure a bigger region around the abnormality. As soon as he did that, whatever was hiding beneath the
patient's skin seemingly ceased to struggle.
After that, he produced a dagger and sliced the skin open, but no blood or pus trickled out of the wound, as if the
skin was just an empty shell. Soon, a creature resembling an octopus was found somewhere beneath the skin as
it was pinned by several needles that rendered it immobile. While holding the cold blade in his hand, he
proceeded to extract the creature from the patient's body.
Despite its miniscule size, the octopus had multiple long tentacles that probably measured up to one meter
each. After the removal of the octopus, steam was blowing out of the patient's wound like a punctured balloon.
At the stime, the patient's skin showed signs of recovery as the swelling slowly subsided, making it look like
he was never under the weather before. Soon, his wound began to bleed as soon as there was no more steam
wafting out of it.
On the other hand, Matthew fixed his gaze on the dark blood and he stopped the bleeding when it turned bright
red. Then, he placed the octopus in a jar and looked at Crystal. "Alright, you can turn around now."
When Crystal turned over and glanced at the patient, she was instantly dumbfounded with what she saw before
her eyes. "Oh my God, Matthew! Has he... recovered now? | can't believe you cured him so soon."
"More or less." He waved his hand and added, "He'll still need more tto fully heal before he is up and about
again. though. Anyway, please send for the doctor to bandage his wound. In the meantime, I'll list down the
prescribed ingredients for him to prepare the medicine that he'll need to take thrice before we can all call it a
day."
After that, she left to send for the doctor, only to realize the department director was no longer standing by the
door. Soon, she found him talking with a few other people as she stood at the corner and listened closely.
"Those two people said they were going to treat the patient and chasedaway. | don't know what's going on,
but I figured you all should know, which was why | called. After all, those two people were not doctors from our
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhospital, so if anything happens, we won't be able to shoulder the responsibility," the department director
complained.
The woman, who stood at the forefront, challenged the doctor with dissatisfaction. "How could you do that?! My
husband has suffered enough, so how could you allow two strangers to do anything they want to him? If
anything goes wrong, I-I'll make sure you regret allowing this to happen!"
Nonetheless, the department director coldly waved his hand and replied, "I'm in no position to interfere with this
matter since the two of them have been sent here by the dean to attend to your husband. Thus, this is
completely out of my power. In fact, situations like this have happened before, in which patients, who suffered
from certain abnormal diseases, were taken away for further studies. Therefore, you all might want to head over
and have a look for yourselves."
She then questioned him. "What?! How dare they treat my husband as a guinea pig! If they ever lay a finger on
him, I-I will kill them all!"
Soon, two other people, who were standing at the back, also expressed their anger. "If anything happens to Dad,
| won't go easy on them!" "Let's go and check out what's going on!"
