Chapter 189 - 189: 189: Rumors Abound
“Matias, do you know him?” Peter, who was standing by, asked doubtfully.
Matias nodded vigorously and said, “Teacher, this is the genius doctor I told you about! He’s the one who changed my views!”
“With him here, Mr. Hansen’s illness will definitely be cured!” Matias exclaimed excitedly.
Peter looked at Ethan in astonishment and said, “He looks so young?” Ethan shook his head helplessly and said, “Can I treat Mr. Hansen now?”
“Of course, but…l still have some doubts about you, Mr. Smith. I hope you don’t mind.” Peter said solemnly.
Ethan smiled and said, “I don’t mind at all.”
Then, Ethan walked up to Nikhil Hansen.
He raised his palm and placed it on Nikhil’s forehead.
For an instant, countless pieces of information flashed through Ethan’s mind.
This was the medical skill passed down by his father.
Information about Nikhil’s illness flashed through Ethan’s mind.
“Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) with onset in the limbs, muscle atrophy and weakness in all four limbs, difficulty swallowing, and possible respiratory failure.” Ethan said solemnly.
Peter nodded repeatedly, as Ethan’s words perfectly matched Nikhil’s condition.
But this didn’t prove anything, as any experienced doctor should be able to do this.
“Mr. Smith, can my dad be saved?” Kathleen Hansen asked anxiously.
Ethan nodded and replied, “No problem, but I’m afraid it’ll take some time.” With Ethan’s current techniques, ordinary illnesses could be easily cured.
But for a difficult problem like this, even with the help of qi, Ethan couldn’t achieve it without relying on Pills.
Fortunately, various treatment plans and Pill formulas quickly flashed through Ethan’s mind.
“Miss Hansen, give me three days to temporarily stabilize your dad’s condition. But to fully cure it, I’m afraid it’ll take half a year,” Ethan said.
“Half a year?” Kathleen was taken aback.
Ethan nodded slightly and said, “Get me some paper, a pen, and a quiet room.”
Kathleen didn’t dare to delay and quickly prepared everything Ethan asked for.
Ethan wrote down the relevant prescription on the paper and handed it to Kathleen.
“These are all common herbs that should be easily available on the market,” Ethan said.
Kathleen nodded and replied, “Alright, I’ll go get them now.”
About an hour later, Kathleen returned to the manor with the herbs.
After inspecting the herbs, Ethan confirmed that there were no issues and headed towards a quiet room.
“Please don’t disturb me during this time, ” Ethan advised.
Kathleen quickly nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll have someone guard this room.”
With the door closed, Ethan began to refine the Pill according to the information in his mind.
This Pill was called the Impulse Protection Pill, which could temporarily stabilize Nikhil’s condition.
The real cure, however, was the Vitality Pill.
The Vitality Pill would gradually restore Nikhil’s muscles, but it would take a long time.
“Can Ethan really cure Mr. Hansen’s ALS? You know, it’s an international challenge,” Peter pondered in the sickroom.
Matias replied, “Teacher, I used to doubt him just like you, but after witnessing Mr. Smith’s capabilities, I realized my doubts were unfounded.”
Despite his words, Peter still harbored doubts.
After all, if Ethan could cure ALS, he would be eligible for any medical award in the world. Why was he so unknown?
Chuzzle, Shiglance City.
The Schroeder Family quickly learned that Ethan had left.
“Uncle Shane, I heard that Ethan Smith has escaped overseas!” one of their subordinates said angrily.
Uncle Shane’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “As the head of the family is about to emerge, he went abroad. That Ethan… must have received some news!”
The news of Ethan going abroad spread rapidly! For a time, families of all sizes were discussing the matter!
“Ethan actually ran away?
“Well, facing the Schroeder Family, he has no choice but to run. This is what they call a wise move.”
“Tsk, tsk. Those around him are going to be in trouble.”
The Nicholson family.
Sawyer Nicholson said coldly, “Have you heard? Ethan has fled overseas!”
“Luckily, I asked you to keep your distance from him, otherwise our Nicholson family would definitely be implicated!”
Ashton Nicholson shook his head and said, “Impossible! Mr. Smith is not that kind of person!”
“Not? Is the news baseless then?! I think you’ve been brainwashed by that kid!” Sawyer scolded.
Ashton quickly took out his phone and called Ethan to clarify the situation.
Unfortunately, Ethan’s phone was already off.
“How about it? Did he answer the phone?” Sawyer sneered.
Ashton gritted his teeth and said, “He… must have had something come up, and couldn’t answer the phone…”
“You’re really stubborn! Let me tell you, starting from today, don’t mention anything related to Ethan Smith! Otherwise, our Nicholson family will bear the full brunt of the Schroeder Family’s anger!” Sawyer left after saying this.
The news spread faster than expected.
Even Emily Taylor, who was far away in Capital City, learned about it.
“Ethan actually ran away? It doesn’t make sense. With his character, he would never let others be implicated,” Emily said in surprise.
Mike Taylor, Emily’s grandfather, stood with his hands behind his back and said, “Facing the powerful Schroeder Family, running is not shameful. Where there’s life, there’s hope.”
But Emily shook her head and said, “It’s impossible. If Ethan ran away, the
Schroeder Family would vent their anger on those around him. He wouldn’t do that.’
Mike Taylor didn’t take it seriously, shaking his head and saying, “Emily, when a person has to be ruthless, they should be ruthless. What’s the point for Ethan if he doesn’t leave?”
Emily remained silent but couldn’t believe it.
“I believe Ethan would never run away,” Emily eventually chose to trust her instincts.
Mik e Taylor shook his head helplessly and said, ” Emily, aren’t you overestimating Ethan?”
A smile appeared on Emily’s face, and she said with some longing, “Although I haven’t known him for a long time, I always feel… I understand him very well.”
Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Mike Taylor’s face.
He suddenly thought of Ethan’s father back then.
At that time, Mike was still a young man, and he admired Ethan’s father wholeheartedly.
“Little Mike, my son and your granddaughter will be a perfect match.
Remember, they are a match made in heaven,” Ethan’s father told a young Mike Taylor, who didn’t even have a son yet, let alone a granddaughter.
Back then, Mike didn’t quite believe it.
But ever since Emily and Ethan fell in love, Mike increasingly believed in his words.
“You are never wrong,” Mike whispered, looking out of the window..
