Chapter 389
Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love
Edelâs reaction made Thomas chuckle.
He looked at Edel and asked, âIn the Medical Mysticâs notes, there is this phrase, âI will give you some color see see. Can you tell me, what does this mean?â
Thomas posed the question fluently in Elorish, leaving Edel bewildered.
Is there anything special about this phrase?â He thought.
Avaâs eyes flickered and she was about to speak.
Thomas glanced at her indifferently. âBoth Tonico and Coraland inherit the same culture, so people from Tonico naturally understand this phrase. But Miss Nicholas, my question is for Edel. Iâm curious, if the Medical Mystic is Ethopian, why do his notes contain so many wrong Elorish phrases?â
Ava instinctively looked at Edel, unsure whether he was truly the Medical Mystic, but trusting those behind the scenes who claimed he was.
âEdel, please explain. What does the Elorish phrase I just mentioned actually mean?â Thomas asked.
expressionless.
Everyoneâs eyes turned to Edel.
Thomasâs query had raised a significant doubt.
Edel, feeling a wave of panic and sweating, didnât know how to respond.
How⦠how did he know what that meant?
Although the phrase seemed straightforward, the reaction of the Tonican people suggested it had a different connotation in Zathinese.
What could that be?
Edel didnât dare to say anything.
âDr. Edel, you donât understand your own notes?â Thomas asked coldly.
âI⦠I just donât think I need to explain it to you, Edel replied through gritted teeth.
Thomasâs smile broadened. âThe Medical Mystic also wrote âyou shall roseâ in his notes. What do you think that means?
Edel was speechless.
It was a completely meaningless phrase to him.
He had skimmed over it in the notes, dismissing it as nonsensical babble.
Could it actually have a meaning?
Dreame Babe, are you hungry? A ruthless CEO in the 4.4 FREE Installed day, and a lovely husband at night!
Open Edel was stunned. âDoes they also know about it?â
He looked around at the crowd.
Ava appeared nervous, wanting to say something but holding back.
Some in the crowd were starting to chuckle, Eason couldnât help glancing at Thomas.
Who would have thought Thomas was quite cheeky.
âYou shall roseâ was a completely nonsensical phrase. But read aloud, any Tonico person would get it â
it sounded just like a popular dishyâs name in Tonico.
If the Medical Mystic canât speak Zathinese, they would eat their hats.
The crowdâs view of Edel began to shift.
If the Medical Mysticâs notes really were like this, Edel couldnât possibly be the legendary doctor.
Because Edel simply couldnât be proficient in such unique Elorish.
Confronted with the skeptical looks of the crowd, Edel became increasingly panicked and blurted out, âYouâre lying! Those contents arenât in the Medical Mysticâs notebook at all.â
In reality, they were in the notebook. Having read it several times from cover to cover, Edel was well aware of this.
Previously, to win the publicâs trust, he had published a few pages from the notebook, but he hadnât revealed the pages containing these contents.
Now, with the notebook in his possession, he claimed they werenât there who could force him to show it?
âThomas, stop spouting nonsense. Dr. Edel is From Ethopia. How could he write such things?â Ava also began to realize there might be issues with Edelâs identity, but what of it? She was determined to protect him.
âNonsense?â Thomas raised an eyebrow. âAva, I didnât realize you were such a foolish person.â
âWhat do you mean?â Ava asked, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Thomas said calmly, âHavenât you ever wondered why I know the contents of the manuscript?â
âWhy?â Edel asked instinctively, then realizing his mistake, he hastily added. âThereâs no âwhy.
Everything youâre saying is just made up.â
Thomas glanced at him. âIs it? The Medical Mysticâs notebook has page numbers. Since youâre so confident, please reveal pages 8,/15⦠99, 103â¦
ex G Babe, are you hungry? A ruthless CEO in the day, and a lovely husband at night!
4.4 FREE Installed Open Dreame Thomas emotionlessly listed several page numbers.
âThose pages, just show any one of them, and itâll prove that the Medical Mystic is actually from Komland. So, do you dare to show them?â
Ava instinctively looked at Edel.
Sweating profusely, Edel blustered, âThe notebook is quite old. Some pages are damaged.â
âOh? What a coincidence? All the ones I mentioned are damaged?â Thomas looked at him with a mocking smile.
Edel knew how implausible this sounded but had no choice but to play along. âYes, all of them are damaged.â
âSince so many are damaged, why donât I help you reconstruct them?â Thomas chuckled. âI remember page 8 was about the Medical Mystic treating an Ethopian lord with a peculiar condition. Itâs a shame to lose such an interesting case. The lord, although a robust man, had a belly bigger than a pregnant womanâs. Everyone thought it was due to years of obesity, but in fact, his belly swelled up within just seven days. This unusual symptom caught the Medical Mysticâs attention.â
Thomas spoke as if he had forgotten the seriousness of the situation, vividly narrating the case. He described the lordâs condition, the Medical Mysticâs exploration of the cause, and how he eventually cured the illness using traditional Chinese medicine methods, leaving nothing out.
As everyone listened, they became utterly engrossed.
But as they did, some began to look puzzled.
Why did Thomas know these details so clearly?
Some of the medical intricacies he described were such that only the Medical Mystic himself could know, werenât they?
Combining this with Thomasâs carlier reactions, could it be that he was the real Medical Mystic?
Noticing the shift in the crowdâs attention, Thomas remained composed.
With a smile, he addressed Edel. âSince you claim to be the Medical Mystic, you must be highly knowledgeable in traditional medicine, right? After all, the Medical Mystic is famously skilled in medicine. Iâm just a humble, lesserâknown doctor. How about we have a debate about medicines? The Medical Mystic, you wouldnât refuse my challenge, would you?â
Edel was drenched in cold sweat.
Having read the original manuscripts, he knew better than anyone that Thomasâs description of the treatment was flawlessly accurate, even enriched with numerous details.
This led Edel to be the first to realize that Thomas was indeed the real Medical Mystic!
But thenâ¦.
Dreame D Babe, are you hungry? A ruthless CEO in the 4.4 FREE Installed Open What should he do?
He was just a charlatan who had taken money to pretend, never expecting to run into the actual, longâ
lost Medical Mystic himself.
How would you say it in Romlandâs language?
âShowing off in front of the real expert?â
