"Master Sue, you're too courteous. Today is your 70th birthday. And it is my turn to toast you," Zachary said while raising his glass and bowing to Maxwell.
Maxwell laughed and drank up his glass of wine in one gulp. Then, he took Zachary to the center of the hall. Under the puzzled looks of the guests, Maxwell patted Zachary on the shoulder and said loudly to the crowd, "My granddaughter, Vanessa, got into an accident a few days ago, and was severely injured. It was Dr. Ching who saved her life. So, this is the best birthday gift for me."
Maxwell's words managed to help Zachary out of the awkward predicament.
Zachary was touched by what Maxwell did for him. He suddenly had an idea when he glanced at his school bag. He said to Maxwell, "Master Sue, I have a little thing with me right now. I want to give it to you as your birthday present. I hope you like it."
Zachary quickly took out a plastic bag from his bag. A piece of black mahjong-sized paste was wrapped inside. Zachary handed it to Maxwell and said, "Master Sue, I made this medicinal paste myself. It's called refining ointment. Besides strengthening the body, it has an energizing effect as well."
Looking at the black paste, the guests burst into laughter. Everyone was gossiping about Zachary sarcastically.
Moments ago, they were just wondering why Zachary was so lucky to be the benefactor of Maxwell. Unexpectedly, Zachary gave Maxwell a black paste as his birthday present. He even said he made it himself. What a big joke!
Maxwell was also stunned for a moment. Then, he took Zachary's gift with a smile on his face and kept it properly instead of adding it to the pile of gifts. Upon seeing this small gesture, the guests stopped laughing at Zachary.
Andrew walked to Yohannes's side with a sullen face when Zachary was giving the gift to Maxwell. Andrew pointed towards Zachary and Vanessa while whispering something to his grandfather.
After listening, Yohannes frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, he said something to Andrew. Then, both of them smiled.
Yohannes came over and said with a smile while Maxwell was still chatting with Zachary, "There are a lot of talents amongst the younger generation. I bet your medical skills should be very good since Maxwell likes you so much. Which hospital are you from?"
Maxwell explained to him before Zachary could say anything, "Yohannes, Zachary is still a student of Ludington Medical College."
"I see. A student of Chinese medicine. Although I'm a Western medicine practitioner now, I've also learned Chinese medicine when I was young. I was Maxwell's classmate. Zachary, why don't you take this opportunity to show us some of your medical skills?" Yohannes said with a smile. He sounded as if he was a senior caring for his junior.
However, Zachary, who had gone through so much in his life, sensed the hidden motive. He looked at Andrew and understood what was going on. He said coldly, "Chinese medicine is not acrobatics. It is used to cure diseases and save lives, not for playing tricks."
Yohannes stopped smiling immediately after hearing what Zachary said. A young bast*rd was teaching Yohannes, who was famously known as Professor Loh in the Capital City, a lesson. Yohannes turned gloomy and snorted, "It's normal for young people to be arrogant. But, it's not good to go overboard!"
Andrew was angry when he saw Zachary disrespecting his grandfather. He strode over and quipped, "You don't even dare to show us your medical skills. How dare you talk about saving people's lives. I guess the Chinese medicine and the sh*tty paste you just talked about, are all just bullsh*t!"
Anger welled up within Maxwell's chest when he heard Andrew insulting Chinese medicine. However, he suppressed his anger and stopped the argument. He said to Yohannes, "Yohannes, young people have different temperaments from us old men. Please don't misunderstand him."
Yohannes did not say anything. However, it was obvious that he was very unhappy. Andrew said to Maxwell, "Master Sue, please forgive me for being rude."
After a short pause, Andrew looked at Zachary coldly and said in a serious tone, "I'll challenge you. Do you dare to accept this challenge? If you lose, I want you to kneel down to Master Sue and Vanessa, and get out of here with your sh*tty paste. This is not a place for you to fake your reputation."
"Andrew Loh!" Vanessa's face was gloomy.
Looking at Vanessa, Andrew softened his tone and put on a caring and gentle look. He said, "Vanessa, I just don't want you to be tricked. I will let you see his true colors soon."
Maxwell did not expect things to turn out like this. Yohannes was his old friend whereas Zachary was the savior of his granddaughter. He uttered helplessly, "Andrew..."
However, Yohannes patted Maxwell on the shoulder before Maxwell could say anything. "Maxwell, it's normal for young people to be impulsive. It's not good to restrain them. Why don't we let them have a try? This'll also be a competition between Chinese medicine and Western medicine. I'll ask Andrew to apologize to Zachary if he loses."
Upon hearing what Yohannes said, the guests were excited to watch the challenge between Zachary and Andrew, which involved Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
The situation was a little out of control. Maxwell could only let out a sigh and comforted his infuriated granddaughter.
"How are you going to challenge me?" Zachary asked coldly.
Andrew paused. Then, he smiled and said loudly, "Since it's a competition of medical skills, the best way to test our skills is to make a diagnosis on the spot."
After a slight pause, Andrew continued, "We will pick a guest. Then, the guest will be diagnosed by both of us. The person who can diagnose the guest's medical condition correctly will be the winner." After saying that, Andrew looked at Zachary.
"Sure," Zachary replied flatly.
The challenge had been confirmed. The one who lost would also lose their face. Maxwell did not want this to happen. Therefore, he was very anxious.
However, Yohannes was smiling. He pulled Maxwell to sit down and said, "Maxwell, you and I are both old. It's time to find out the standards of the younger generation."
Andrew stepped forward and said to the guests with a smile, "May I know who is willing to be involved in this challenge?"
Andrew said with a smile on his face and a gentle voice, looking handsome and elegant.
Unexpectedly, everyone took a few steps back as soon as he finished speaking. Even those young women who were fangirling at Andrew looked reluctant.
There were more than 200 people in the hall. However, none of them were willing to be involved in the challenge.
Andrew was stunned, looking a little embarrassed.
