The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 386

386 Looking, Listening, Questioning, and Checking

“That’s impossible!” Patricia still said in disbelief, “Those instruments are the most sophisticated and top-notch ones we have shipped over from overseas. Those instruments show that Old Master Han can only live for about three days at most. Just now, Old Master Zenith used all his abilities to ensure that Old Master Han would have at most three months. How can you say that you could extend his life for so many years as you please?”

Sharon said coldly, “Because I’m the Young Madam of the Harris family and my master is Wats…”

“Wats what?” Zenith was suddenly a little excited.

“Pfft!” Patricia sneered. “Can anyone call themselves a master now? Let me tell you, although it seems like my uncle is fine now, if anything happens to him in the future, the Han family will definitely not let you off!”

“Patricia! Who taught you to speak like this?” Zenith’s expression was abnormally grave. Then, he said loudly, “Who taught you to interrupt the other party before she finished talking? How many times do you want me to say that you’re not my disciple at all! You’re simply embarrassing me!”

Patricia did not care about Zenith’s words at all. However, the disdain Peter looked at her had embarrassed her.

Patricia suddenly felt really indignant. She gritted her teeth and looked at Sharon, asking indignantly, “I want to compete with you! We’ll talk about the rest if you really can prove to be capable.”

“Who allowed you to cause trouble here!” Zenith was extremely angered by Patricia. He had finally heard news about the legendary person, but now, it was all interrupted by Patricia.

…..

He was too embarrassed to mention this again now. He had to find a suitable opportunity to ask Sharon properly.

Peter looked at Sharon. He didn’t expect the woman in front of him to have the ability to be recognized by Elder Zenith.

And Patricia refused to admit that Sharon was this capable. It was impossible for Sharon to convince her.

Sharon shrugged nonchalantly. Seeing Patricia’s guarded gaze, she found it very funny and asked, “What do you want to compete in?”

“Of course it’s a competition of medical skills. I’ve studied with Elder Zenith for half a year, and from the looks of it, you should have studied for about the same amount of time.” Patricia’s eyes darted around, then she looked at Sharon and said proudly, “The foundation of Chinese medicine is observation, hearing, questioning, and checking. Let’s see who is able to identify more illnesses. What do you think?”

The so-called observation, hearing, questioning, and checking meant that one did not judge the problems in the body according to the pulse of a person. It sounded very simple, but it was actually very difficult to practice.

Even Zenith was not 100% sure that he could determine the other party’s illness by looking at his face.

However, this was also one of the main reasons why he had taken Patricia in back then. Patricia was very good at observing others and could notice some details. Many times, Patricia could point out the details that Zenith did not notice immediately.

Besides that, her memory was not bad. She could see and remember many of the symptoms that were shown on the patient’s face.

Therefore, in just three months, Patricia could already tell that there was something wrong with a person just based on his appearance, and the accuracy was about 80%.

“Patricia, what are you doing? Young Madam has already saved my father. Are you going to make things difficult for her now?” Peter stopped her unhappily.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Sharon smiled and nodded. “If you really want to compete, I’ll give you a chance. I’ve only studied Chinese medicine for four months. I wonder if I can compare to you.”

Upon hearing this, Patricia looked even more confident that she would win. Zenith watched as Sharon agreed just like that and didn’t continue speaking. If she was really that person’s disciple, her strength was probably not inferior to his. Through this competition, he would observe her properly.

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony!” Patricia immediately walked forward when she saw how straightforward Sharon was. She walked around the room and stared at everyone’s faces.

No more, no less. Twelve minutes later, Patricia said very confidently, “I’ve seen everything. Professor Zeth, your skin and lips are dry and peeling. This is a common sign of dehydration. It’s obvious that your sweat glands are secreting abnormally. You need to check your thyroid.”

“Nurse, I see that you have a lot of acne and dark circles under your eyes and you also have a small beard. It should be a problem with your endocrine. You don’t look good either. You might have polycystic ovary syndrome.”
