This situation was within Prince George’s expectations. He shrugged and gave Leo a wry smile, saying, “Dr. Leo, please bear with Doc Brier’s temper.”
Leo had encountered many arrogant and self-righteous Western doctors before, so he remained calm and waited quietly.
He waited until Brier finished examining Isabelle’s mouth.
Prince George said to Brier, “Doc Brier, this is Dr. Leo, whom I mentioned to you before coming to Atraria. He defeated the Korean Medicine practitioner Seung Kim.”
“Leo, the Atrarian traditional doctor, right?” Brier finally looked at Leo.
“Yes,” Leo nodded.
Brier’s eyes showed disdain as he sneered, “Korean Medicine, represented by Seung Kim, is nothing in my eyes. Whether it’s Korean Medicine or Atrarian traditional medicine, they’re just child’s play. In other words, it doesn’t matter who wins in a fight between children; it’s insignificant.”
Leo didn’t expect Brier to say such things in front of him and immediately frowned.
Noticing the change in Leo’s expression, Prince George’s heart tightened. He said coldly, “Brier, Dr. Leo is here at my invitation. Show some respect!”
Brier’s mocking and disdainful expression softened a bit after being reprimanded by Prince George. He shook his head and sighed, “Your Highness, I’ve been holding this in for a long time. I think bringing the little princess to Atraria was unnecessary.”
“The little princess is already weak. Traveling such a long distance is harmful rather than beneficial to her condition.”
On the bed, Princess Isabelle indeed looked pale. Her once bright and beautiful eyes were now dull and lifeless.
Moreover, Isabelle was very thin, evoking a sense of pity.
Prince George dismissed Brier’s words, saying, “Brier, if you had seen Dr. Leo bring someone back to life, you wouldn’t be speaking so arrogantly today.”
“Bringing someone back to life? The tricks of traditional doctors are indeed magical,” Brier sneered again. “Since this Dr. Leo has the power to revive the dead, I’d like to see how he treats the little princess.”
Prince George ignored Brier’s sarcasm and gestured to Leo, “Dr. Leo, please.”
Isabelle’s nurse quickly brought a chair for Leo.
Leo walked to the bedside, sat on the chair, and gave Isabelle a gentle smile. “Princess, please extend your right hand.”
The little princess looked at Leo timidly, her face showing obvious nervousness.
In her experience with treatments, it was her first time seeing such a young traditional doctor. Moreover, according to her brother, he was an Atrarian traditional doctor.
After a moment of hesitation, the princess extended her right hand to Leo and asked cautiously, “Will it hurt?”
Leo noticed that Isabelle’s wrist had many needle marks and some areas of the skin were slightly purple.
It was evident that Isabelle had undergone a long period of modern medical treatment, which had caused her considerable pain.
Seeing Isabelle’s frail and pitiable appearance softened Leo’s heart. He smiled and said softly, “Don’t worry, it won’t hurt at all.”
With that, Leo began to take Isabelle’s pulse.
After a while, Leo’s expression became serious. He glanced at Prince George.
Worried about his sister, Prince George couldn’t help but ask, “Dr. Leo, how is my sister?”
Leo withdrew his hand and stood up from the chair. Looking at Prince George with a solemn expression, he said, “Your Highness, after my diagnosis, I can confirm that the princess… has no illness at all!”
“What? No illness!?” Prince George was stunned, his mouth slightly open in disbelief.
Brier had been waiting to mock Leo and now laughed sarcastically, “I’ve always said that Atrarian traditional medicine is just a trick created by Easterners to deceive people.”
Leo glared at Brier and retorted, “Doc Brier, put away your arrogance. Now, in front of Prince George, tell me what illness you diagnosed in the princess and what the cause is.”
“I…” Brier was momentarily speechless.
After such a long period of treatment, he still couldn’t accurately diagnose what illness Princess Isabelle had or its cause.
Facing Leo’s cold gaze, Brier refused to back down and snorted coldly, “Although I don’t have a definitive result yet, based on my thirty years of clinical experience, the various symptoms appearing in the princess are likely caused by a bacterial infection!”
“The princess has a weaker constitution compared to her peers, so her resistance and immunity are also weak. This kind of constitution can lead to various illnesses when infected by airborne bacteria.”
Brier’s explanation was based on the pathological diagnosis jointly researched by European and United States medical societies.
Leo shook his head firmly. “I disagree with your conclusion! The princess is indeed weak but not to the extent that airborne bacteria would make her ill.”
“Dr. Leo, do you really not know what illness my sister has?” Prince George didn’t want the two to argue about the cause but wanted to know what illness his sister had and how it could be cured.
If even Leo couldn’t cure his sister despite his ability to bring people back to life, Prince George feared his sister would continue to suffer from her tormenting illness.
“Your Highness, as I said before, it’s not that I can’t diagnose your sister’s illness; it’s that she has no illness,” Leo reiterated helplessly.
Based on his diagnosis and verification through spiritual insight, Leo was confident he hadn’t misdiagnosed.
Leo’s words made Prince George’s expression instantly fall.
His sister had been tormented by illness for so many years; how could she have no illness? To him, it seemed like Leo couldn’t diagnose the cause and used ‘no illness’ as an excuse.
Brier looked at Leo with contempt and sneered, “In my opinion, diagnosing illnesses by feeling the wrist is a joke. If you can’t diagnose the princess’s illness and claim she has no illness, you should leave immediately.”
Ignoring Brier, Leo noticed that the bedroom curtains were tightly closed. He turned to Prince George and asked, “Your Highness, why are the curtains completely drawn when the sun is shining outside?”
