Chapter 441 Are You Joking?
Thomasâs scolding left everyone present dumbfounded. The attending physician stared at Thomas in disbelief, his face filled with fear.
âMr. Theo, whatâs going on? Is there anything wrong with my previous treatment plan?â he asked.
âWhat treatment did you perform? Tell me!â Thomas impatiently looked at the attending physician, his eyes filled with disgust.
The attending physician lowered his head and responded cautiously, âMr. Theo, since we havenât been able to determine the cause of Mr. Duncanâs coma, we have only conducted various tests and have not administered any medication.â
He had no choice. He was also innocent. Brandenâs status was so noble that he couldnât just come up with a treatment plan casually. What if something unexpected happened? He couldnât 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 hadnât 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 Brandenâs brain nerves because it was still in the experimental stage, with too much uncertainty.
In addition, the human brain was too complex, so they couldnât determine the exact cause of Brandenâs unconsciousness. They could only choose conservative treatment and conduct various tests to determine the outcome.
And before they could determine the cause, Thomas arrived.
âHumph!â Thomas coldly snorted. âI knew it. Look at you. You donât even know where you went wrong. Now Iâll tell you why I scolded you!â
Thomas pointed at Branden, who was lying motionless on the hospital bed, and shouted at the attending physician, âIâm telling you. This kid is not ill at all. He is just exhausted and sleeping!â
What?
Thomasâs voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly. Not to mention the attending physician, even Paxton was shocked.
âMr. Theo, are you joking?â
Despite Thomasâs amiable appearance, he could be quite intimidating when he got angry. He shrugged, his face cold, and cursed at Paxton, âDonât you believe me? Then, why did you make me come here? Do you think itâs goddamn fun?â
Paxton was scolded mercilessly, but he had to face Thomas with a smile. It wasnât that he didnât believe Thomas, but this whole situation sounded incredibly absurd. After scolding Paxton, Thomas continued to berate the attending physician.
âYouâve studied medicine for so long, yet you lack confidence and are so hesitant. Are you even qualified to be a doctor if you canât even examine a patient?â
The attending physician couldnât 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 couldnât afford to be careless. Now, after hearing the teachings of a medical senior, he could only nod obediently.
âMr. Theo, I will remember your teachings!â
Thomas unleashed his full fury, scolding everyone present. By the end, even Paxton couldnât 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 didnât want to get involved, but she couldnât stand Paxtonâs help-seeking winks and gestures anymore. She chose to step forward and persuade Thomas, saying, âMr. 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, âCassie, donât worry. I need to examine him again and then administer some additional medication to boost his energy. He should wake up today!â
Then, he added, âThe 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 donât see any major issues. Rest assured. Iâll cure him!â
âThank you,â 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. âItâs no big deal. How could I not do my best for you? Scott said that if I donât help you, he wonât call me Grandpa anymore.â
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 Catherineâs 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 Thomasâs 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 Thomasâs 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 didnât agree.
She didnât 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 didnât 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 wouldnât say anything without confidence.
Branden had already delayed her training for half a day, and she couldnât afford to waste any more time.
âMr. Theo, Iâll leave him to you here. I have something to attend to at the training ground, so Iâll go first!â
Thomas waved at her with a smile. âGo ahead and take care of yourself. Leave him to me, and make sure to rest well!â
