Chapter: 1616
Stammering, Jaxon tried to respond, "Mr. Barnes... I... I... I just filmed a young..."
Jaxon meant to explain that it wasn't a well-known medical expert in the video he captured. Instead, it was just a young lady.
But then it dawned on him. Mr. Barnes didn't see Maria's face in the video but was impressed by her skills.
Could it be that Maria possessed a level of medical expertise even Mr. Barnes respected and wouldn't dare to offend?
"Please excuse me, I have to leave now," Jaxon said suddenly. Then, he stood up and promptly left.
He didn't go far, however. He headed toward a quiet corner where he could chat without being disturbed. Once away from the noise, Jaxon asked on the phone in a low voice, "Mr. Barnes, what's going on? You just said the person in the video is a medical expert. Did you mean it?"
Jaxon's questions annoyed Mr. Barnes.
“What? Are you doubting my words now?" Mr. Barnes shouted angrily.
As an expert from the Association of Healthcare Professionals, Mr. Barnes naturally could not bear that Jaxon, who had no training in medical matters, dared to question his judgment.
"But... But... Didn't you see that... Her hand..."
Jaxon stammered as he tried to say what he was thinking without offending Mr. Barnes. Could Mr. Barnes not see that the hands of the person in the video were those of a young girl?
“What's wrong with her hand? There's nothing strange about people who are part of the martial arts milieu looking young. Take me for example. I'm almost 65 years old, yet I don't have a speck of grey hair! The woman in the video must be in her forties even though she looked younger." Mr. Barnes said seriously.
Mr. Barnes suspected if the woman in the video hailed from a wealthy, discreet family and received excellent training, it would be understandable that she would be so skillful at that age.
After all, the Association of Healthcare Professionals wasn't didn't have much influence as compared to the Pill Alchemist Association, which all healers wanted to join.
Apart from the Association of Healthcare Professionals, some healers from influential families disdained to join any association to live a high-profile life.
After Listening to Mr. Barnes’ explanation, Jaxon didn't know what else to say.
Jaxon turned around and took a look at Maria in the distance. Mr. Barnes must be wrong about Maria's age. Maria was just in her twenties. Did Mr. Barnes think Maria was some middle-aged medical expert, judging from her skills in the video? Yet, Jaxon didn't dare to tell Mr. Barnes about his misjudgment of Maria's age.
However, Jaxon still found it unbelievable that Maria should be a medical expert at this young age. He questioned again after hesitating for a while, "Mr. Barnes, she only used three acupoints for the healing. Are you sure she's really an outstanding healer?"
“Jaxon!" Mr, Barnes roared angrily. He was really beside himself now.
“You have little knowledge of martial arts medicine, and yet you dare to question me!"
Jaxon could tell from Mr. Barnes' tone he was furious.
Realizing that, Jaxon panicked and quickly apologized, "Mr. Barnes, I will never dare to question your judgment. It's just that I think it's too amazing that someone so young can be so talented..."
Mr. Barnes didn't say anything and only snorted coldly. It was probably because of Jaxon was his brother-in-law that Mr. Barnes didn't make things difficult for him.
"Listen to me carefully. Don't compare martial arts medicine with traditional medicine. There's a reason why the medical expert in your video only stuck needles at the three acupoints. It's not that these three acupoints have any hidden special powers.
