The Miracle Doctor: Call Me Savior

Chapter 21 Panic Buying



Maxwell and Zachary were talking casually, but the guests were all shocked upon hearing their conversation. Their gazes fell on the black paste wrapped in a plastic bag.

They clearly saw that Maxwell, who was sick, had recovered in less than half an hour after taking the refining ointment. Moreover, this was only the additional effect of the refining ointment. Its main effect was to strengthen a person's body. Many amongst the crowd were thinking about how to get their hands on this medicine.

A lot of the elders and even the youngsters present had various diseases. This medicine, which could strengthen the body, was much better than the array of health supplements sold in the market.

The more they thought about it, the more excited they became. In the end, a fat middle-aged man stepped forward and asked Zachary with a smile, "Dr. Ching, I wonder if you still have any refining ointment left. I would like to buy some for my parents. Of course, the price is up to you." Obviously, he was a rich man.

He stirred an uproar among the guests immediately.

"Dr. Ching, I would like to buy it too."

"Mr. Ching, please sell it to me. My mother is frail and dying. You have to save her."

"Dr. Ching, I'll pay two hundred thousand yuan. Please sell it to me."

The noisy uproar annoyed Zachary, and he did not know what to do. In the end, he calmed everyone down and said, "I'm sorry. The refining ointment that I have given to Master Sue is the last piece. I don't have any more left at the moment." The paste was formulated in the laboratory. Zachary himself had taken the paste for one week and not much was left.

"Alas!" The crowd let out a pitiful sigh.

Seeing this, Maxwell cleared his voice, "In that case, I've decided to share this last piece with everyone. Zachary, is this okay?"

"Master Sue, you're a kind person. This is a gift for you, so you can do whatever you want with it," Zachary answered. Then, he looked at Vanessa, who was slightly unhappy and went over to her. He whispered, "I'll make more for Master Sue when I go back."

Vanessa smiled after hearing what he said. The surrounding guests, at this moment, were almost going crazy. The mahjong-sized piece of ointment was finally divided into more than twenty portions, and each person only got a piece the size of his pinky nail.

Those who managed to get some of the paste were overjoyed. However, most people couldn't get it and they were all sighing with regret.

An impatient guy dissolved the paste in hot water and took it on the spot. A moment later, he felt a surge of warmth and his weak muscles grew stronger. He was elated that he thanked Zachary repeatedly.

He yelled loudly in the hall ecstatically, "Chinese medicine is really profound. A medication with such a simple formulation could have such miraculous effect. It is much better than the health supplements of Western medicine. I would never believe in those health supplements anymore."

"That's right. Fortunately, Dr. Ching and Master Sue are still practising Chinese medicine. Otherwise, the knowledge that has been passed down for thousands of years from our ancestors will be lost."

"Yes, nowadays, everyone believes in Western medicine only. Chinese Medicine is not in its heyday."

"There's nothing we can do about it. The society nowadays..."

Zachary felt relieved after listening to the discussion of the crowd. He said loudly, "Chinese medicine is a very valuable knowledge. Its miraculous effect is far beyond our imagination. What we see today is just a drop in the ocean of Chinese medicine. However, Western medicine is flourishing now whereas Chinese medicine is declining. Many people don't believe in Chinese medicine anymore. Some even call it witchcraft or superstition. I'm really heartbroken about this." "As a Chinese physician, I, Zachary Ching, am here to ask all of you to believe in Chinese medicine. Please support it for the prosperity of Chinese medicine."

"Well said. I've been working hard for so many years, but I could only watch the downfall of Chinese medicine. After listening to Zachary, I think there is still hope for a bright future for Chinese medicine," Maxwell stood up and clapped his hands, looking at Zachary with admiration and hope.

A round of thunderous applause sounded from the crowd.

Andrew's face darkened as he watched. He was going to sneak away secretly.

However, someone noticed him in the crowd and yelled, "Mr. Loh, are you leaving? Why don't you stay for a little longer?"

Everyone present turned their eyes to Andrew immediately, their gazes penetrating through Andrew like sharp arrows.

Andrew froze in his spot, his lips trembling. He didn't know what to say.

Yohannes chuckled, walked to Maxwell's side, and apologized for his grandson. "Maxwell, I'm really sorry for what happened today. Andrew was just trying to help you. He didn't expect this to happen. He is not feeling well now. So, I let him go back to have a rest. I will ask him to apologize to you later."

"Okay," Maxwell responded unhappily. He almost died just now because of Andrew. Anyone in his shoes would be furious.

Hearing this, Andrew turned around and was about to leave.

However, another voice rang at this moment, "Mr. Loh, it seems that you haven't fulfilled your bet with Dr. Ching just now." It seemed that there were many people who had a grudge against Andrew.

As soon as the words were spoken, the guests burst into a discussion again.

Yohannes's face fell, but he didn't lose his temper on the spot. He took a deep breath and said to Andrew, "Andrew, please apologize to Dr. Ching since you have lost."

Andrew's face was livid. He walked to Zachary reluctantly and bowed slightly, "I'm sorry. I've lost to you."

After saying that, Andrew turned to leave. However, Zachary snorted, "Is that all?"

"Don't go too far!" Andrew gritted his teeth and glared at Zachary furiously, growling.

"I've said that you must stop insulting Chinese medicine and apologize to me if you lose. You're not qualified to insult Chinese medicine at all," Zachary said bluntly. "You..." Andrew was so furious that he was gnashing his teeth. In the end, he said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have looked down on Chinese medicine. I was wrong."

After that, Andrew turned around and ran away. Yohannes followed behind him immediately.

The farce finally ended. It was getting late. The birthday party was over and the guests left one after another. Many guests still approached Zachary before they left, wanting to purchase the refining ointment. Zachary took a lot of effort to persuade them and promised them that he would sell some to them when he had the chance to prepare the medicine again. Only then were the guests willing to leave.

In the end, Zachary sent Maxwell home and performed acupuncture for him once more. After making sure that the Qi in Maxwell's body was not in disorder, he returned to school late at night.
