Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife

Chapter 348: Chapter 348

Rosemary went on, "Compared to modern medical treatments, traditional medicine is more clear-cut, more proactive, and without any side effects."

Once she dropped this bomb, the entire class of neurology students broke out in applause. She’s too good! Way to go, Rosemary!

Before, they were always getting crushed by the surgery students during class. Who would’ve thought that the tide would turn with Rosemary’s arrival. Now they could hold their heads high too!

Audrey was left speechless by Rosemary’s words, utterly embarrassed.

"Seems like Rosemary’s been hitting the books hard on this topic. Yeah, the medicine Rosemary mentioned does indeed belong to traditional herbal medicine, and the cold capsules are indeed a mix of two medicines. Well said, Rosemary. Audrey, you’ll have to step up your game after class. You may sit down now."

Audrey sat down awkwardly, at which point her friend Chloe couldn’t help but stand up and say, "Professor Lambert, I have a question for Rosemary."

Professor Lambert could clearly see the rivalry brewing between the surgery students and the neurology students, or, to be more precise, their animosity toward Rosemary.

"Rosemary, you make traditional herbal medicine sound like the bee’s knees. I’ve had a cold for six days now, but why hasn’t the traditional herbal medicine worked? Are you misinformed about traditional herbal medicine, exaggerating its effects, or is it just not as effective as modern medicine? After all, you major in neurology, so you are not an expert in the traditional herbal medicine."

This question was clearly a jab, but Rosemary simply responded nonchalantly, "Who knows what you’ve been eating with your meds?"

Taking a pack of medicine every day was one thing; taking it every three days was another. Who knew if she’s been eating something that interfered with the medicine?

Chloe laughed out of frustration. "I bet all Rosemary can do is talk the talk. When it comes to treating an actual illness, she probably doesn’t know jack."

"Do you really need to overthink such a simple issue?" Rosemary looked at her with interest and asked, "You want to get better? Come up to the podium."

Chloe froze, as did the rest of the class. What was Rosemary up to? They were all puzzled.

"What, are you scared?" Rosemary smirked at her.

"Who said I’m scared?"

Even though she had no idea what Rosemary was planning, she figured she wouldn’t do anything outrageous in front of everyone.

Seeing the two students approach the podium, Professor Lambert stepped back with interest. He was curious to see how Rosemary would handle this.

"Give me your hand," Rosemary said casually.

Chloe reached out her hand. Was Rosemary going to take Chloe’s pulse? Did she even know that?

Rosemary placed her hand on Chloe’s pulse, then turned to Professor Lambert. When the bell rang earlier, she saw Professor Lambert bring in an acupuncture kit. Now she asked politely, "Professor Lambert, may I borrow your acupuncture kit?"

Professor Lambert: "Sure, it’s on the desk."

Acupuncture? Rosemary planned to treat Chloe’s cold with acupuncture? Wasn’t she majoring in neurology? How can she master the medical skills of other countries? Had she lost her mind? Was she really a talent?

Chloe quickly pulled her hand away. "Are you a doctor? You are a neurology major. Can anyone just perform acupuncture?"

"You said you wanted to get better, right?" Rosemary quickly disinfected a silver needle with alcohol. Seeing Chloe hide her hand behind her, too scared to reach out, Rosemary grabbed her hand directly, disinfected a spot on the radial side of her thumb near the nail with an alcohol swab, and promptly inserted the needle.

"Ah." Chloe let out a startled yelp.

The whole classroom froze, especially Audrey. She was staring wide-eyed, unable to believe Rosemary could do such a thing.

"Rosemary, have you lost your mind? Professor Lambert, kick her out." Audrey was about to rush onto the stage.

Seeing blood seeping out, Rosemary squeezed the wound again to increase the blood flow. After letting out two drops of blood, she covered the wound with a disinfectant cotton ball.

Chloe was about to lose her temper when she suddenly felt a noticeable relief in her throat. She couldn’t believe it. Clearing her throat, she was astonished to find that her throat didn’t hurt like before. It was freaking magic!

Professor Lambert burst out laughing. "In my decades of teaching, I’ve never seen a student diagnose so quickly and perform acupuncture so accurately. Rosemary, judging by the location of your needles, is Chloe’s throat pain due to a cold?"

"Yes." Rosemary disinfected the silver needles and put them back in place.

"Chloe, how do you feel? Has it improved?"

Chloe was so shocked that she was speechless. After a while, she managed to nod and say, "Yes, my throat doesn’t hurt anymore. I feel much better."

"This is acupuncture. Rosemary did very well."

With that, the entire neurology class broke into applause. Rosemary was freaking awesome! The effects of acupuncture were so fast!

"Did everyone notice that Rosemary disinfected the silver needles and put them back in place after she finished? This behavior is worth learning from. Let’s give her another round of applause."

This time, even the students from the surgical class joined in the applause.

Audrey didn’t expect her classmates to change their stance so quickly, let alone for Rosemary to steal the limelight.

"Both of you, please return to your seats." After Professor Lambert had them leave the stage, he continued, "For throat pain caused by a cold, acupuncture and bloodletting can be effective quickly. Rosemary just demonstrated the method to you all, and she did it perfectly. No errors."

He added, "Traditional medicine is broad and profound, and it’s not superior or inferior to modern medicine. It seems that today’s class is irrelevant to your majors, what I want to say is: Whether you want to study traditional or modern medicine, or neurology, or internal medicine, etc., remember that you’re here to learn how to save lives in the future. That’s what matters, not which type of medicine you choose. There’s no need to argue over this."

After a few seconds, he continued: "Some students may also be curious about why I brought my acupuncture bag to class. I also want to tell you that medicine knows no national boundaries. After mastering the knowledge of your major, you should also learn from the excellent medical skills of other countries in order to improve your ability."

As long as goals aligned, they were all contributing to society.

After class, many students came to find Rosemary.

"Rosemary, I’ve been having a sore neck for days, can you help me with acupuncture?"

"I’ve had a stuffy nose for days, can you help me with acupuncture?"

"And me, can acupuncture help with athlete’s foot?"

Kelly and the other two roommates were almost dizzy from the barrage of questions.

"Sorry, guys. Rosemary’s a bit busy today, come back next time." Kelly tried to maintain order.

"Yes, next time. Rosemary has other plans for today, we’re really sorry." Joyce also tried to keep the crowd at bay.

"Rose, we need to get out of here." Mya clung to Rosemary’s arm and quickly got into the elevator. Once the elevator doors closed, she finally let out a sigh of relief. "This is crazy, they’re coming to you with athlete’s foot. But speaking of it, can acupuncture really treat athlete’s foot?"

"Yes, it can." Rosemary answered seriously. She even explained the specific method of acupuncture.

"Really? It can really do that?" Mya looked at her with admiration. "You’re so cool. It seems like there’s nothing you can’t answer."
