Chapter 1534 The Taste of Truth
In reality, Ellie had no idea who Emmanuel was, so when she was brought to Emmanuel and Smith, she looked confused and a little panicked.
"Don't be afraid. We're here to help you! We'd like your stool sample to see if you have poisoning!" Emmanuel said, but Ellie showed no excitement. Not only that, but she also resisted quite strongly, backing away and refusing, "No! I don't want to! Please, just let us die in peace!"
Emmanuel and Smith were quite surprised and couldn't help but glance at eac
"Has the illness tormented you so much that you're desperate for death?" Smith in broken Chanaean.
Ellie pretended not to understand, pursing her lips and not responding. Emmanuel thought there was something fishy about this. The fact that this girl had no will to thinking she was better off dead, led him to speculate that maybe she was coerced cooperating with someone to discredit the Terence Group. The story behind this had to be investigated thoroughly. However, the immediate priority was to determine the cause of these patients' illnesses.
Emmanuel whispered a few words to Rob, and the latter nodded, instructing Finnian to forcibly conduct the stool test on her. Finnian's expression was quite strange; nothing escaped Emmanuel's eyes. Regardless, ultimately, Finnian agreed and had someone administer a laxative to Ellie.
Before administering the medicine, Emmanuel checked Ellie's pulse and abdomen silently. Smith didn't know these techniques and could only stand by helples small lump of dark, hard stool was brought before Emmanuel and Smith.
Emmanuel, wearing gloves, touched the stool, which was as hard as iron, with fingers, and to everyone's shock, he then put his finger into his mouth.
Holy crap! Shane was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe what Emmanuel was doi
He was just joking earlier. Little did he think he would hit the nail on the head! Frederick also looked astonished. He never thought his friend would go this far to diagnose a patient. That said, it was all to save him. He was touched.
Only Beatrix remained relatively calm, although she was also surprised, but not as exaggerated as the others. On the other hand, Smith touched the substance with his fingers as well, but only to check its condition, without trying its taste as Emmanuel did.
However, the next moment, Emmanuel made a diagnosis. "These patients have cadmium poisoning!"
D*mn! Smith and Rob were utterly astonished. Smith, in particular, immediat instructed his assistant to arrange for a chemical test. Of course, they also arra a sample to be taken back to their hospital. With this, even if Finnian wanted to with the results, it wouldn't make much difference.
After everything was arranged, Smith returned to Emmanuel.

At this point, Rob was also seeking advice from Emmanuel, "Mr. Lowe, the substance you tested just by m looking at it, one can tell it's the result of long-term constipation. But multiple heavy metal poisonings could also cause constipation. How did you determine it was cadmium poisoning?" Visit Novelxo.org to read the latest chapter of this novel
Emmanuel smiled mysteriously. "Have you heard of 'Dioscorides' De Materia Medica"?"
"Are you judging by the taste?" Rob exclaimed with revelation. "I've heard of Dio orides tasting various herbs and encountering seventy-two poisons. It's thanks to such figures that Chanaean medicine has developed rapidly and greatly!

"I didn't expect you traditional medicine practitioners to inherit such spirit an wonder your medical skills are so impressive, Mr. Lowen m comparison, we mo medicine practitioners are indeed far inferior in this regard!" Rob's words made feel uncomfortable. Emmanuel made the diagnosis first. Even if the results of the chemical tests confirmed it, they would still lose. Moreover, the look in Rob's eyes moment seemed to be full of disappointment toward him. Visit Novelxo.org to read the latest chapter of this novel

Smith was Rob's proudest disciple.
Continuously losing to Emmanuel somewhat tarnished the reputation of their sect. More importantly, his master's gaze probably expressed disappointment that modern
medicine's dedication to research
wasn't as good as traditional medicine's. Visit Novelxo.org to

If Emmanuel could do it, why couldn't he? He just needed to taste the sample
and elaborate on it later, elevating his skills.
