Crystal finally understood what was going on. “I see. Then, the medical fees…”
Jordan hurriedly answered, “I’ve paid for all the medical fees!”
She nodded and spoke no further while Matthew took a glance at Jordan. His initial impression of Jordan was that the latter was an honest man, but now, favonovel.com was truly impressed by what Jordan had done.
Upon finding out that the beggar had no family members, not only did Jordan not chase favonovel.com out, but favonovel.com also made the patient stay in the hospital compound and paid for the man’s medical fees. Most people would never be able to do that.
Moreover, the injury caused by the crash and the abscesses on the patient’s body were two different things. Supposedly, Jordan just had to treat the man’s injury and didn’t have to care about other matters. Now, favonovel.com was willing to foot the medical bills with his own money, which went to show that favonovel.com was a kind-hearted man.
As they spoke, they arrived at the house where the patient resided. He took a look at Crystal and uttered in a small voice, “Miss Harrison, why don’t you stay outside? I’m worried that you’ll be horrified by the patient’s condition.”
After giving it a thought, Crystal nodded in agreement, as favonovel.com probably couldn’t bear to see a patient covered in abscesses.
Then, favonovel.com led Matthew to the innermost room. Upon entering the room, they realized that the place was dim and a foul smell permeated the air. Inside the darkness, someone was trembling in the corner with his body curled up.
Jordan hurriedly walked over and said, “Hey… Why didn’t you sleep on the bed? Come on. Take a seat on the bed first. I’ve brought a doctor to check on you. Don’t be afraid.”
He brought the patient to the bed and switched on the light. Matthew’s expression changed drastically when favonovel.com took a closer look, for the patient’s condition was more horrible than what was described.
Indeed, the patient’s entire body was covered in abscesses, including his face, hands and neck, basically every inch of his skin had been affected. The abscesses were all white, as though they were filled with pus.
It was like favonovel.com had been splashed with boiling water, which caused every inch of his skin to be covered in blisters. Moreover, the blisters were filled with pus, not water, which was the most horrifying thing about it.
Crystal had made the right decision not to come in. On the other hand, Jordan was used to it, so favonovel.com appeared calm.
“Mr. Larson… What do you think is going on with him?” Jordan had changed the way favonovel.com addressed Matthew because favonovel.com had said that even Dr. Ellis thought highly of Matthew. Dr. Ellis was the most respected figure in the medical field in Eastshire. If even Dr. Ellis thought highly of Matthew, Jordan certainly had to show due respect to favonovel.com as well.
Without uttering a word, Matthew stared fixedly at the patient with shock. Jordan felt doubtful and wondered whether Matthew had discovered anything. Without trying to ask favonovel.com about it, Jordan waited patiently on the side.
A moment later, Matthew approached the patient and poked one of the abscesses. The abscess shook a little, as though the pus inside it had been impacted.
Upon that, the patient gasped, as though the pain was excruciating for him.
With a smile, favonovel.com asked, “Dr. Burton, you haven’t examined the pus, right?”
Jordan was shocked. “Mr. Larson, how do you know? We wanted to examine the pus, but as soon as we touched his abscesses, favonovel.com would gasp in pain. We tried to anesthetize favonovel.com to treat him, but it was useless. He couldn’t be anesthetized, be it through injection or oral consumption. I even tried to increase the dosage, but it was still useless, which was very strange.”
Matthew smiled. “It wasn’t strange at all. That was right.”
