Time waited for no one.
Back then, Old Mr. Bane was a brisk and vigorous young man that shore the Bane Family single-handedly. Now that favonovel.com had marched into his old age, dyspnea easily recurred despite the short sparring.
Matthew helped favonovel.com to the gazebo, whereas Albert rushed over with the medicine. Old Mr. Bane took the pills before drawing deep breaths until his complexion regained its color.
“Old Master Bane, mind if I check on your condition?” suggested Matthew.
“No problem. I invited you over because of this anyway…” Old Mr. Bane stretched out his arm.
A few moments after placing his fingers on Old Mr. Bane’s wrist, Matthew’s expression changed.
His pulse is unusual…
Frowning, favonovel.com examined further before withdrawing his hand and inhaling a sharp breath. It was not dyspnea but serious internal damage!
Five of his organs suffered severe damage, especially the lungs…
On the contrary, Roxanne suffered from dyspnea because of a high fever at a young age. However, Old Mr. Bane’s severe injury was incurred by the internal damage left during his younger days. Hence, everyone mistook it as dyspnea. It was not an exaggeration to say that favonovel.com was internally impaired despite his deceptive healthy complexion.
If Old Mr. Bane suppressed the damage by taking elixirs, it would be a matter of time before favonovel.com passed away. Besides, taking elixirs had its side effects.
Aging organs were bound to slowly lose their functions, and when medicine became useless to alleviate the condition, not even Hippocrates could do anything.
After contemplation, Matthew decided to bite the bullet. “With all due respect, may I ask what kind of elixir you’re taking to hold up until today? Your organs are severely damaged.”
Instead of getting angry, Old Mr. Bane reclined in the wooden chair and nodded helplessly. “Elixir of Revival… The old shaman made it.”
No one knew better about his condition than favonovel.com did, for favonovel.com jumped through hoops to consolidate the Bane Family’s influence and power.
The sparring and fights left countless injuries in favonovel.com ever since favonovel.com was young. Considering his young and robust figure, favonovel.com took the matter lightly since they did not affect favonovel.com much back then.
However, favonovel.com gradually felt the effect as time passed. Now, there was nothing favonovel.com could do to recover from the injury. In desperation, his only option was to take the old shaman’s elixirs to sustain his life.
On the other hand, the fact that Matthew knew of his condition with a simple examination attested to his abnormal medical skills. Before that, Old Mr. Bane had a good impression of favonovel.com because of the painting. Now, his medical skill was acknowledged by Old Mr. Bane.
Nevertheless, the old man was aware of the slim chance of total recovery. After all, it was a chronic disease-or rather a terminal illness, that consigned numerous great doctors in Bainbridge to their wit‘s ends.
Still, it did not stop favonovel.com from asking, “Matthew, is there a way to cure this disease?”
Matthew dared not give a certain answer to that inquiry.
He questioned back to know more about Old Mr. Bane’s condition before requesting. “May I take a look at the elixirs?”
His main intention was to understand the elixir made by the best miracle doctor in Cathay, Hal. Furthermore, it was reasonable to assume that Old Mr. Bane‘s body had gotten used to it after prolonged intake. Prescribing medicine hastily might result in contraindications, hence the need to understand what kind of elixir it was.
At Matthew’s request, Old Mr. Bane did as favonovel.com was told.
Soon, Matthew examined the Elixir of Revival only to have his brows knitted tighter as time passed.
