Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Research on Ointment

Serena quickly sorted and arranged the medicinal herbs on the desk from her bag.

Even with only one hand, she was still orderly.

Her movements instantly drew the attention of the others in the lab.

Everyone’s face showed curiosity.

Even Liam Shaw, known for his workaholic ways, stopped what he was doing.

His deep eyes were assessing, watching Serena’s movements intently.

Serena had brought a lot of tools for preparing medicine, looking very professional.

Yet, for the four people trained in Western medicine, this method of drug preparation was almost unheard of, something they had never seen before.

"Is the ointment you make really effective? It’s not a scam, is it?"

Charlotte Summers looked at the black ointment with a frown she couldn’t help but form.

All of them came from a medical background and could be considered well-read, but they still didn’t understand what Serena was doing.

"Whether it works or not, won’t we know after trying?" Serena’s lips curved slightly, her eyes shimmering with confident light.

Everyone present maintained a skeptical attitude.

Until Serena finished the ointment, everyone was stunned.

They saw with their own eyes how Serena applied the ointment to her scalded arm.

In a little more than an hour, the red and swollen marks began to fade slowly.

They couldn’t help but look at each other, their eyes full of astonishment and shock.

"How, how is that possible..." Charlotte Summers was the first to speak.

Her eyes widened in disbelief.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought the scene was a hallucination.

However, it was not only she who saw it, even Sean Wynn, Emily Green, and Liam Shaw saw it.

"Serena, all the medicinal herbs you used are very common, why is the effect so pronounced?"

Liam Shaw asked, puzzled.

His expression was stern, his face cool.

He was always emotionless.

Although he still looked calm on the surface, his heart was already tumultuous.

Sean Wynn took the ointment and examined it carefully but didn’t find anything special.

"The same medicinal herbs, a different combination produces different effects." Serena responded with a smile.

"Indeed, these herbs are the most common, but to bring out their medicinal properties to the utmost, the medicine maker must have extreme control over the dosage of the herbs."

Sean Wynn quietly stretched out his hand and applied the ointment to the back of his own hand.

A cool sensation spread from the back of his hand, and Sean Wynn felt very comfortable.

But other than that, there was no other sensation.

Liam Shaw teased with a smile, "Your hand wasn’t injured; it’s a waste to use such good ointment on you."

"Isn’t that simple?" Sean Wynn raised an eyebrow, picked up the thermos bottle nearby, and poured himself a cup of water.

Then, he picked up the cup and poured the hot water over the back of his hand.

Everyone was shocked by his action.

Even Serena was stunned on the spot.

Thinking about how Sean Wynn was so persistent.

In order to test the effect of the burn ointment, he did not hesitate to harm himself!

At that moment, Serena suddenly thought of Liam Shaw’s evaluation of Sean Wynn.

"His medical talent is not very high, but his obsession with medicine surpasses everyone."

Before, Serena didn’t understand the true meaning of this sentence.

But now, she finally understood.

Truly a "medical maniac."

Sean Wynn grimaced in pain, his face creased like a chrysanthemum.

The moment the hot water touched the back of his hand, he already began to regret it.

Pain.

It really hurts.

So this is what a burn feels like.

"Serena, you’re really a warrior," Sean Wynn said as he gave Serena a thumbs up while enduring the pain.

He had watched the video of Serena getting splashed with hot water that day.

Serena’s expression didn’t change throughout the whole incident, and she even had the strength to step on the offender after getting injured.

Based solely on that resilience, Sean Wynn felt even he, a grown man, couldn’t compare.

"No big deal," Serena said with a smile, understanding Sean Wynn’s words.

Everyone couldn’t help but suppress their laughter.

"Let’s try the effects quickly."

"Yeah! My hand’s all red; I need to try it fast!" Sean Wynn hastily picked up the ointment.

The green ointment didn’t look very impressive.

The moment it was applied to the back of his hand, Sean Wynn instantly felt a significant reduction in the burning sensation.

The pain also began to ease.

As time passed, Sean Wynn looked at his hand, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

"This, this is really good medicine!"

Sean Wynn couldn’t wait to lift the back of his hand to show the others in the lab.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at the back of Sean Wynn’s hand without blinking.

The water just boiled from the water dispenser was scalding hot.

Thus, the back of Sean Wynn’s hand had also turned a reddish hue from the burn.

But now, that reddish color was gradually fading.

The white blisters on the back of his hand were also slowly shrinking.

Emily Green’s eyes gleamed, her voice unable to hide her excitement and thrill, "Serena, the ointment you’ve researched is too effective. Not even the best burn medicine in the country can achieve these results!"

Charlotte Summers’s mouth hung open in shock, disbelief filled her eyes.

She originally thought Serena was just joking earlier.

People who study medicine usually specialize in particular areas.

Serena’s talent in traditional Chinese medicine already far surpassed many domestic TCM experts.

But she was incredibly proficient in Western medicine too, even Professor Parker had praised her highly.

Charlotte Summers thought Serena was only joking about making her own ointment, but she managed to create such an astonishing product in the blink of an eye.

Her gaze towards Serena changed repeatedly.

She even started to think that Serena might not be human.

How could someone with such an against-the-heavens talent be normal?

Thinking back to how she had doubted Serena just moments ago, Charlotte Summers’s face couldn’t help but feel a bit sore.

"Serena, can you give me some of this ointment?" Sean Wynn shamelessly pleaded, eyes full of hope.

He wanted to study it properly.

"Seeing how persistent you are, take it if you want," Serena said.

"Yes! Thank you, Serena. Whatever you need in the future, just say the word. I’ll be at your beck and call, no confusion at all," Sean Wynn excitedly stashed the ointment away, grinning like a fool.

Liam Shaw and Emily Green silently facepalmed, their eyes full of disdain.

"Serena, can you teach us the process and method of making this ointment?" Emily Green asked.

Sean Wynn’s eyes immediately lit up.

"How did I not think of that? Serena, could you share it with us? Of course, if it’s inconvenient, we won’t force you," Sean Wynn said, scratching his head sheepishly and not holding much hope.

After all, for a pharmacist, the formula is absolutely secret.

The effectiveness of this ointment is clearly superior to the best burn medicine in the country; its value is beyond imagination.

However, when everyone was without hope, Serena lightly nodded her head.

"Sure."

Everyone instantly showed surprised and delighted expressions.

Serena, somewhat helplessly, curled her lips and explained, "Actually, the process of making this ointment isn’t complicated, and the medicinal ingredients used are the most common ones..."
