Chapter 106
Dozens of eyes fixed themselves on the white-coated doctors standing at the center of the hall. The faint hum of the overhead lights and the occasional shifting of a chair were the only sounds that broke the stillness. Everyone in the hall, from the esteemed professors seated in the front row to the curious attendees who had traveled from distant towns, shared the same anticipation.They wanted to hear the result.The patient lay quietly at the edge of the stage as his frail chest continued to rise and fall.Only days ago, his body had been wracked by the symptoms of a disease said to have no cure. But now, he was calm, breathing, and alive. Just one question filled everyone's heart. They wondered if Antonio had truly done the impossible.The doctors, who had run the tests exchanged anxious glances. Every second they delayed seemed to stretch into eternity, and the murmurs from the audience began to increase.Finally, one of the younger doctors stepped forward. His face was pale

Antonio did not waste time arguing.Instead, he spoke with calm certainty, like someone who knew exactly what he was doing.“Conduct the test,” he proposed.“Test the patient, and then, when you are done, you may face me. At the end, the truth will stand on its own feet.”The doctors exchanged skeptical glances. Every fiber of their training and pride resisted the suggestion. In their eyes, Antonio was nothing more than a pretender—an unlearned fool dabbling in things too great for him.Obviously, he was only desperate for attention in front of an esteemed gathering. Some even smirked at the thought of wasting their time with what they believed was nonsense!Yet, Antonio's composure unsettled them. He did not plead or argue. He only spoke with so much confidence.Perhaps that was what made them finally yield. Reluctantly, they agreed. After all, it would cost them nothing more than a little effort, and in the end, Antonio would only disgrace himself. They were certain of it.The

Antonio tried to calm Florence.“Be patient, Miss Gales,” he said in a low, composed tone. “What you see now is not the end. The body must walk through its valley of shadow before it reaches recovery. Trust me. Watch, and you will see.”Florence was not convinced, instead her eyes were wide with doubt. She shook her head furiously. “You can’t be serious, Mr Morris! Look at him—his pulse is weak, his color is gone. He doesn’t have much time left. Stop talking like this and do something before it’s too late!”Her words echoed the fear already in the room. The crowd’s whispers grew louder, filling the room with a heavy sense of fear. Then suddenly, the patient’s chest heaved violently. He convulsed, and a guttural groan tore from his throat before he leaned over and vomited another stream of thick, dark blood into the basin at his bedside.Gasps of horror spread across the room like wildfire. Florence clapped her hand to her mouth, her heart leaping into her throat.The vomiting w

The man's head lolled slightly, but at least his chest rose more evenly with every fragile breath. A ripple of uncertainty passed through the hall. Some of the professors exchanged doubtful and wary looks.Antonio reached into the satchel he had brought and pulled out a small clay vessel. From it, he poured a mixture of dark herbs into a cup of warm water, stirring until the bitter scent filled the air.He leaned forward, pressing the rim of the cup to the patient’s lips, coaxing him to drink.“This will ease you,” Antonio said.With trembling effort, the patient swallowed. A hush settled over the hall as everyone watched. Seconds felt like minutes. At first, nothing seemed to change. The patient’s eyelids fluttered, then grew heavy. Slowly, his body sank into the pillows. A faint sigh escaped him as he drifted into slumber.Relief flickered briefly across some of the attendees' faces including Florence. Perhaps Antonio’s knowledge of herbs truly held answers modern medicine

For a brief moment, he stood motionless, gazing at the patient. Some in the audience mistook his silence for hesitation. Whispers rose again.“The charlatan doesn’t know what to do.”“Look at him—he’s frozen in fear.”“Best for him to take back his words before he shames himself any further.”Their scorn cut through the air, but Antonio remained unmoved. He walked forward, his expression unreadable, and stopped at the patient’s side. His hands moved with calm precision as he examined the man—checking his pulse, feeling the heat of his skin, and observing the stiffness in his joints. He muttered a few observations under his breath, as though piecing a puzzle together.Finally, Antonio straightened and his eyes sweeped the room before settling back on the patient. “His body is overheated and his blood flow is obstructed. He needs treatment immediately. He must be placed in a hot bath prepared with specific ingredients that I will prescribe. Let him sit there for a few minutes, an

Some other professors, doctors, and guests whispered, laughed, and sneered. Some shook their heads in disbelief while others smirked as though they had just witnessed a foolish entertainer stumble on stage.One of the senior professors, a man with snow-white hair and glasses perched low on his nose and rose to his feet. His tone was cold and sharp.“This is absurd!” he declared. “This young man dares to stand here and claim he has discovered what the world’s greatest medical minds have long agreed is impossible? Nonsense! There is no cure for the disease he speaks of. Countless studies, centuries of combined intellect, have proven it!”The audience responded with approving murmurs, nods, and scattered claps. Facing Antonio, the professor continued, “If you insist on pushing this reckless claim, then prove it here and now. We will bring in a patient who suffers from this so-called incurable disease. Prove your theory on him. Show us your miracle—if you have one at all.”The chal
