A Matrilocal Husband's Counterattack

Chapter 70: Evil Qi Enshrouded

The next morning, Ethan received a call from Ryan Barker and Sabrina Barker asking him to join them for a meal. He quickly wrapped up the things he was working on and prepared to leave.

However, just as Ethan was about to step out the door, Remedy Sun rushed in, his face filled with anxiety.

"Master, Master, it's bad! Someone has fainted!"

"Uncle Turner has fainted!"

"He came for a stomachache and waited. I told him to wait a bit, as there were two people in front of him. After waiting for a while, he suddenly collapsed!"

His tone was a bit relieved, thankful that it wasn't during the examination, otherwise, things could have gotten messy.

Ethan immediately stood up and went to the backyard.

The backyard had only four rooms: Remedy Sun, Adrian Whitehead, and Alice Whitehead each occupied one, and the remaining one was used as a temporary diagnosis room.

When Ethan rushed in, he saw several neighbors gathered around, with Uncle Turner slumped in a chair, unmoving. His face was ashen, breathing labored, and there was drool at the corner of his mouth.

Hearing the news, Aunt Turner had already fallen to her knees in front of Uncle Turner, crying out:

"How could this happen? What's wrong with you?"

"If something happens to you, what am I going to do with our son?"

"I can't live anymore..."

In this life-or-death situation, her frantic cries were also the reason Remedy Sun was in a panic.

"Stop crying!"

Ethan shouted to stop Aunt Turner's crying, then quickly knelt to take Uncle Turner's pulse.

"Food poisoning."

Ethan quickly made the diagnosis, then quickly picked up his silver needles and started performing the Four Symbols Detox Needle Technique on Uncle Turner. At the same time, he had Remedy Sun prepare a bowl of honeysuckle tea.

After a round of acupuncture, Uncle Turner's dark complexion began to fade, and a bit of color returned to his cheeks. By the time Ethan inserted the final needle, Uncle Turner's body swayed.

"Whoa—"

Uncle Turner suddenly began vomiting violently into the prepared trash bin.

Five minutes later, Uncle Turner showed signs of recovery. His eyes opened, and after drinking the honeysuckle tea, he started feeling better.

Remedy Sun quickly covered his nose and took away the dirty things to avoid the smell lingering too long and making the patient uncomfortable.

Aunt Turner was deeply grateful:

"Dr. Ethan, thank you! You are a great benefactor to our whole family."

Uncle Turner weakly asked:

"Dr. Ethan, what's wrong with me?"

"You've been food poisoned,"

Ethan said casually. "It was caused by spoiled food. In the future, it's best not to eat expired or leftover food."

"Especially in this hot weather, food that's gone bad is dangerous."

He reminded them again: "If you're not careful, it could be serious."

"Food poisoning? Spoiled food?"

Aunt Turner was confused:

"That doesn't make sense. We ate clean food."
