Chapter 441 Are You Joking?
Thomas’s scolding left everyone present dumbfounded. The attending physician stared at Thomas in disbelief, his face filled with fear.
“Mr. Theo, what’s going on? Is there anything wrong with my previous treatment plan?” he asked.
“What treatment did you perform? Tell me!” Thomas impatiently looked at the attending physician, his eyes filled with disgust.
The attending physician lowered his head and responded cautiously, “Mr. Theo, since we haven’t been able to determine the cause of Mr. Duncan’s coma, we have only conducted various tests and have not administered any medication.”
He had no choice. He was also innocent. Branden’s status was so noble that he couldn’t just come up with a treatment plan casually. What if something unexpected happened? He couldn’t afford the consequences! Every step he took was extremely cautious. After numerous discussions, he finally made the decision.
And because there were different opposing opinions each time, which required constant argumentation, they hadn’t administered any medication yet. They had only conducted extensive examinations, but all the results were within the normal range.
However, Branden had still not awakened.
They suspected that the reagent had affected Branden’s brain nerves because it was still in the experimental stage, with too much uncertainty.
In addition, the human brain was too complex, so they couldn’t determine the exact cause of Branden’s unconsciousness. They could only choose conservative treatment and conduct various tests to determine the outcome.
And before they could determine the cause, Thomas arrived.
“Humph!” Thomas coldly snorted. “I knew it. Look at you. You don’t even know where you went wrong. Now I’ll tell you why I scolded you!”
Thomas pointed at Branden, who was lying motionless on the hospital bed, and shouted at the attending physician, “I’m telling you. This kid is not ill at all. He is just exhausted and sleeping!”
What?
Thomas’s voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly. Not to mention the attending physician, even Paxton was shocked.
“Mr. Theo, are you joking?”
Despite Thomas’s amiable appearance, he could be quite intimidating when he got angry. He shrugged, his face cold, and cursed at Paxton, “Don’t you believe me? Then, why did you make me come here? Do you think it’s goddamn fun?”
Paxton was scolded mercilessly, but he had to face Thomas with a smile. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Thomas, but this whole situation sounded incredibly absurd. After scolding Paxton, Thomas continued to berate the attending physician.
“You’ve studied medicine for so long, yet you lack confidence and are so hesitant. Are you even qualified to be a doctor if you can’t even examine a patient?”
The attending physician couldn’t even lift his head. Throughout the process of treating Branden, he had indeed been excessively cautious.
But then again, he had no choice. Branden was a big shot, so he had to be cautious. Moreover, Paxton was always by his side, and any careless move could bring disaster upon him. He couldn’t afford to be careless. Now, after hearing the teachings of a medical senior, he could only nod obediently.
“Mr. Theo, I will remember your teachings!”
Thomas unleashed his full fury, scolding everyone present. By the end, even Paxton couldn’t take it anymore and had to seek help from Catherine.
Throughout the whole ordeal, Catherine remained the calmest, standing by as if nothing was happening.
Catherine originally didn’t want to get involved, but she couldn’t stand Paxton’s help-seeking winks and gestures anymore. She chose to step forward and persuade Thomas, saying, “Mr. Theo, when will Branden wake up?
Thomas, who had been cursing up a storm, immediately changed his attitude upon hearing Catherine speak. He regained his amiable appearance and looked at her, saying, “Cassie, don’t worry. I need to examine him again and then administer some additional medication to boost his energy. He should wake up today!”
Then, he added, “The medication that was administered has a powerful stimulating effect on his body, consuming his energy in advance, which has led to this bizarre sleep. As for his legs, I don’t see any major issues. Rest assured. I’ll cure him!”
“Thank you,” Catherine responded, her attitude indifferent and not very enthusiastic. But compared to her usual attitude towards others, her attitude towards Thomas was already considered quite warm.
Thomas smiled and looked at Catherine as if the old man who had just exploded in anger and cursed at people was not him. “It’s no big deal. How could I not do my best for you? Scott said that if I don’t help you, he won’t call me Grandpa anymore.”
Despite Thomas having a rosy complexion and appearing to be in his fifties, he was actually in his seventies. The little genius Scott Theo from the Arbotte Laboratory was his grandson.
Catherine had a complicated relationship with the Theo family members, and Thomas was one of the few people who knew her background. That was why he was willing to let his grandson be in Catherine’s laboratory for research.
After Catherine learned that Scorpion Island was looking for Dr. Miracle, she knew it must be for Branden. Luckily, she had a connection with Thomas and knew that he was the patriarch of the Theos. So, she immediately contacted him.
Catherine had known Thomas for many years, and with just one phone call, she managed to bring him to the island without much effort.
Watching Thomas’s friendliness and affection towards Catherine, Paxton quietly rubbed his nose. He never expected Thomas to have two kinds of attitudes. While he treated them like a fierce and terrifying demon, he was all smiles and kindness towards Catherine.
Catherine had great faith in Thomas’s medical skills. Back then, impressed by her talent, Thomas was determined to pass on his medical knowledge to her. However, she had no interest in it and didn’t agree.
She didn’t know how to heal or save lives, but she had a knack for making and using poisons. However, she rarely had the opportunity to use poisons. She didn’t like the idea of doing things in secret. If she found something displeasing, she would simply eliminate it directly. Why bother with the trouble of poisoning?
Catherine entrusted Branden to Thomas without any worries. Since Thomas had provided an answer, saying that Branden would wake up today, then Branden would surely wake up today.
She had known Thomas for so many years and understood his character.
She knew he wouldn’t say anything without confidence.
Branden had already delayed her training for half a day, and she couldn’t afford to waste any more time.
“Mr. Theo, I’ll leave him to you here. I have something to attend to at the training ground, so I’ll go first!”
Thomas waved at her with a smile. “Go ahead and take care of yourself. Leave him to me, and make sure to rest well!”
