The Great Medical Saint

Cosmo claimed he could treat facial neuritis in half an hour.

Jenny was alarmed by her brother's audacious statement and hurriedly reprimanded him. "Cosmo, focus on your homework. Don't talk nonsense."

Liam chimed in, "Half an hour? You can't even make the medicine in time, let alone treat an illness. How absurd! Kids these days dare to say anything. Alright. My time is precious, so I won't waste it here." Cosmo shot a glance at Jenny, signaling for her to stay silent. He then addressed Liam. "You're afraid of losing, so you're running away? You can't leave unless you admit your defeat!"

Admit defeat? Liam sneered, feeling somewhat insulted to be challenged by a child despite his position in the medical field.

However, Cosmo's relentless taunting was getting under his skin. "Come on, if you can't even whip up the medicine in 30 minutes, how are you going to treat an illness?"

Jenny picked up on her brother's cue, but she couldn't understand how he intended to cure facial neuritis in just 30 minutes.

It seemed utterly impossible. Her curiosity was piqued, and she watched him closely, eager to hear his bizarre solution. Cosmo appeared confident.

"Who said anything about preparing medicine? Are you suggesting some kind of direct application of the medicine on the skin? That won't work for facial neuritis!" Cosmo tilted his chin defiantly. "I don't need medicine to treat him!"Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Liam's lips curled in disdain, "Treating an illness without medicine? Come on, that's just nonsense! Do you think you can cure him? I might as well say pigs can fly!"

Jenny's brows furrowed tighter. She had initially thought her brother had learned some secret method from Walter to treat facial neuritis.

But as she heard about not needing medicine, she realized it was just her brother being playful. Cosmo probably didn't want her to lose to Liam.

Touched by his genuine concern, Jenny said, "Cosmo, I know that you're just looking out for me, but... let's not joke about medical skills. This is serious, and it's about saving lives." Cosmo thumped his chest confidently. "Trust me. I've got this. I promise I can cure the patient!"

Jenny frowned. "And how exactly do you plan on doing that?"

Cosmo grinned. "I can cure him as long as there's water."

Water? Jenny was stunned. How could water treat an illness? Though water was effective at quenching thirst and cooling down the body's temperature, it definitely was not for curing facial neuritis in half an hour.

Liam's face twitched at the mention of using water to treat facial neuritis. Suddenly, he remembered the superstitions about water in this country.

The locals had a habit of advising them to drink more water whenever someone caught a cold, during menstruation, or when they were sick. It seemed like water was considered a cure-all here.

Liam had been planning to leave, but now he was curious to witness the extent of ignorance and superstition in this country.

The patient remained silent, unsure

of which prescription to follow as both doctors seemed to be competing. He figured he'd go with whoever had better medical skills in the end. It seemed like a good strategy.

Then, Cosmo's unexpected arrival stirred the room.

Ignoring the surprised glances from everyone, he walked over to the water dispenser and pressed the boil button. In just four minutes, the water was boiled.

Gesturing to the patient, Cosmo confidently declared, "Hey, sir, come over here. I can cure your facial neuritis in just half an hour."

The patient couldn't help but crack a smile. "You want me to drink boiled water?"

Cosmo shook his head. "No, you're not supposed to drink it. I'll open the lid, and you can lean your face over the rising steam."

Steam treatment? The patient saw

no harm in it and slowly leaned in Surrounded by the billowing steam, he suddenly felt uncomfortably hot. His facial pores opened up in response to the heat.
