Cedric was now lying unconscious in the bed. His hair was gray, and his face was wrinkled. His complexion showed
that he was in poor health.
In particular, his cheeks and lips were pale. His deep-set eye sockets made him appear haggard and thin, which
was a feature of long-term illness.
Fortunately, Cedric's breathing was weak but steady, indicating his life was not in immediate danger.
Clinton picked up the medical kit on the table and stepped forward to begin Cedric's treatment. He opened the
medical kit with a thud, and various small tools and medicine neatly placed in the medical kit were all displayed in
front of everyone.
The left half of the kit was full of traditional medicine and special needle treatment, which belonged to the
traditional medicine system. On the right side of the kit were scalpels, tweezers, sewing needles, other tools, and
many modern medicine, which belonged to the modern medicine system.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtClinton knew both traditional medicine and modern medicine, and he could work in any hospital in Dragon Kingdom
after studying abroad.
Sean said nothing, watching Clinton treat his grandfather, Cedric.
Sherman came over and said in a hushed voice, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lennon. My eldest brother's temper has always
been like that. Don't take it personally. He's not a bad person, but he's too competitive to allow others to be better
than him..."
"I understand," Sean said with a nod.
Sherman then told Sean about his grandfather Cedric's illness.
"My grandfather, Cedric Yale, suddenly became bedridden four years ago. We've taken him to many major hospitals
across the country, but they couldn't find the cause of his illness..."
"Many famous doctors have treated him, but his condition has worsened day by day instead of improving. In the
past year or so, my grandpa would slip into a coma from time to time. We're worried that he will suddenly die one
day..."
"My grandfather's symptoms are strange. His body temperature has dropped a lot since falling ill, especially his
limbs. They're so cold that he hardly looks alive. When my grandfather was awake, he told us he felt like some
strange insects were crawling inside of him... It might be an illusion, or it may be a somatosensory illusion caused
by the illness."
Listening to Sherman's explanation, Sean got lost in thought.
Dr. Humphrey's 30 medical books listed thousands of diseases. One of them seemed to match the symptoms
Sherman described.
The disease was called Cold Syndrome.
People with Cold Syndrome had a lower body temperature than regular people, especially in the limbs which were
far from the heart. The temperature might be two to four degrees Celsius lower than regular people. Due to the
drop in body temperature, the patient's endocrine system would go haywire, which would lead to many other

The most common was how the patient's physical fitness would worsen day by day and eventually fall into a coma
because of the decline in body temperature. As the frequency of falling unconscious gradually increased, the
patient would quietly die in a coma at the terminal stage.
Thirteen Miracle Needles was needed to treat Cold Syndrome.
They could cure Cold Syndrome by using Thirteen Miracle Needles to stimulate the acupoints and induce the cold
poison.
Clinton was treating Cedric with special needle treatment.
Was he going to use Thirteen Miracle Needles?
Did he know how?
The Yale family had also gotten copies of Dr. Humphrey's 30 medical books, but those were only theoretical
knowledge. It was not easy to turn that knowledge into a medical skill. Even Sean, who had a good foundation, took
a lot of practice to master it.
