Hearing this, Fade laughed and said, "Well, that makes sense. Doctors may not be able to cure their own illness."

Matthew nodded with a smile, relieved that he just dodged a bullet.

However, Fade's tone changed and he said, "It's fine if he cannot cure himself. However, it's nonsense for him to claim to be the best doctor in Jade City. He couldn't even diagnose himself properly." When Matthew and Malcom heard this, their expressions changed drastically. It was understandable if he wasn't able to cure his own illness. After all, there were many facets to it.

A self- misdiagnosis, however, would be very embarrassing to say the least.

Malcom immediately refuted, "What did you mean by that? I understand myself the best and I am perfectly capable of diagnosing myself."

"Is that so?" Fade laughed out loud. Then, he pointed to the left side of Malcom's abdomen, saying, "Why don't you feel that area for yourself?"

Malcom reached out his hand and applied pressure on that area. Immediately, he felt an unbearable, stinging pain. Malcom cried out in agony and lost his balance.

Matthew was shocked at the sight.

Malcom's forehead was covered in sweat, and he was in disbelief. He stuttered, "How, how could this be? I've been using state-of-the-art biomedication and treatments this entire time, so how could my..." Fade laughed and said indifferently, "Your so-called state-of-the-art bio-medication's efficacy is not as good as you think it is. Moreover, usage of bio- medication may lead to various unforeseen side-effects, and the medicine may even lose its potency altogether."

"On the other hand, your lifestyle of unrestrained eating and drinking has worsened your condition. In your current state, I believe you should be expecting liver cancer soon." Hearing the words 'liver cancer', Malcom's expression sank. Shaken to his core, he felt his legs turning into jelly.

While Matthew was equally shocked, he kept his composure and said, "Malcom, don't be taken aback by him. As far as I know, traditional medicine is a hoax. He may be lying to you. Don't be deceived." His words gave Malcom a sliver of confidence, and he calmed down a little.

However, Fade just laughed and gave Matthew a once-over.

Frightened by Fade's gaze, Matthew felt uneasy. "Why are you staring at me?"

Fade sighed and said with a smile, "I thought Malcom's health was bad, but I didn't expect you to be in worse condition than him!"

"What!" Matthew froze and said quickly, "Don't try to fool me. I do physical examinations annually, and I have a healthy lifestyle. My body is in good shape."

"Really?" Fade smiled, then pointed to a spot under one of Matthew's left ribs and said, "Why don't apply pressure on this area?"

"I..." Even though Matthew was skeptical, he still reached out and applied pressure on the spot under his left rib.

Matthew immediately cried out in agony. He howled in pain as he almost collapsed, his reaction much stronger than Malcom's earlier.

"Mr. Browning, you..." Malcom's expression changed dramatically.

Matthew was in agonizing pain but he still kept calm all this while. He said, "As I said, traditional medicine is just a hoax. Don't try to deceive me. I won't believe you."

Fade was silent. Meanwhile, Mary came over with a doctor in a white coat.

The doctor came over and said to Nita, "Miss Nita, this is your mother's latest full-body examination report. According to the results, your mother's illness is cured. Now, she only needs some rest and she'll be back on her feet in no time."

Nita read the medical report in wonder. She did not understand most of what was in it, but she broke into a smile knowing her mother was alright.

Then, Fade shoved the medical report at Malcom and Matthew, saying, "Dr. Malcom should at the very least be able to understand the contents of this report"

Meanwhile, Matthew, who was still in pain, looked expectantly at Malcom with sweat all over his face.

Malcom stared at the report for a while, and then his expression changed. He was speechless.

"So, how is she?" asked Matthew.

"According to this report, Mrs. An's illness has really been cured."

"How, how is this possible? Traditional medicine is just a hoax, how could he..." Matthew could not accept the fact that Fade was able to cure Mrs. An's illness, and then he tried to find an excuse, "This must be a scam, that's the only explanation."

"I saw you instruct Mary to fetch the report. You must have made a fake report. I refuse to believe this. All of you must be in cahoots!" Matthew kept going, sounding like a madman.

Mary was upset and uttered coldly, "Mr. Browning, you should be responsible for your own words. This is the best hospital in Jade City. Is it appropriate for you to slander the hospital?" Sure enough, the doctor standing next to Mary was also dismayed.

"Matthew, did you really think that I'd lie to you about my mother's condition? Do you think that I'll do such a thing?" Nita interrogated.

"Nita, you..." Matthew was speechless, but he still refused to admit his mistake. "Anyway, I still wouldn't trust this nameless traditional medicine practitioner."

Fade shrugged indifferently and said, "Mr. Browning, it doesn't matter to me if you don't believe me. I'm not the one who's sick. Should I be worried?" "You..." Matthew glared at Fade.

Meanwhile, Malcom's phone rang. He answered the call and said, "Yes, Malcom speaking. What is it?" "Oh, the medical report is out. Okay, so how is everything? Tell me about it." After a brief respite, Malcom suddenly paled. He cried out in shock, "What? What are you saying? You're telling me that I have liver cancer. Are you sure you did not make a mistake?" After another moment of silence. Malcom lowered his voice and said, "Fine. I, I'll head over right away."

Malcom hung up the phone. Anxiously, he said to Matthew, "Mr. Browning, if I may be excused, I need to head to the hospital."

Matthew suddenly got hot on his toes. He grabbed Malcom and said, "Malcom, what was that about the? What of the liver cancer that you just mentioned? What's going on?"

Malcom looked down, depressed, as he said, "My medical report just came out. My fatty liver has worsened and I now have liver cancer."
