NovelXXXChapter 526: When Marissa cto check on Burnet, his condition was dire. He struggled for breath. Connor, however, remained calm because he knew Marissa was an exceptionally skilled doctor.
After her examination, he asked softly, "How is he?" "He choked on tea, and it triggered his asthma," she responded.
Connor frowned and said, "He had asthma as a child, but it was treated. How could it flare up again just from choking on tea?" Marissa prepared a silver needle to test Buas she explained, “His asthma was never fully cured, just managed. It would have remained dormant had it not been provoked. Once triggered, it becomes dangerous." Connor understood her point and chose to remain silent so as not to interfere with her work.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFollowing several emergency procedures, Burnet's condition began to improve. His breathing steadied, and his complexion returned to normal. However, the asthma attack had left him weak. Resting on the sofa, he appeared frail.
After stime, he managed to thank Marissa.
Let your imagination soar with galnovs"You're welcome," she replied nonchalantly as she collected her silver needle.
After securing her equipment, she cautioned Burnet, "Although I've managed to halt your asthma attack, it's a temporary fix. It will recur soon." Both Buand Connor looked at her, startled, waiting for her to elaborate.
Marissa didn't mince her words. “Your asthma is congenital and tough to eradicate. The physician who treated you years ago didn't cure you but used a specific treatment to suppress your symptoms.
However, the effects of that treatment have worn off over the years, allowing your asthma to resurface. If it happens again, it will be more severe than before and could be life-threatening.
You are fortunate to be aroundtoday; otherwise, you might not have survived long enough to reach a hospital." Buand Connor were taken aback by the gravity of the situation.
Burnet, particularly troubled, said, “But I've been healthy for so many years. I only choked on tea today." Marissa explained using an analogy, "Imagine a volcano on the brink of eruption that is sealed with a special material. Over time, that material will degrade, and eventually, the magma will break through." She looked directly at Burnet. "Do you see what I mean?" Bunodded.

Surprised, Marissa paused momentarily. She had always known her father as a medical prodigy, renowned for his exceptional skills in both medicine and pharmacology.
He had propelled the Nash family to the pinnacle of the medical community in Blebert. Yet, she had never known the specifics of the people he had treated.
To find herself in the presence of one of them here in Connor's office was completely unexpected, not to mention that he was the head of the Hoffman family.
Burnet, noticing her surprise, continued, "Perhaps your father chose to keep a low profile. He m always treated his patients in a calm and serene environment, never boasting about his capabilities or detailing the complexity of his treatments.
As a result, many of his patients, despite having complex conditions, m left believing they had merely suffered from/minor ailments. As a child, I consulted numerous doctors who all said my asthma was congenital and incurable, only manageable during flare-ups.
But your father, he treatedso effortlessly that my family and I were convinced it was a minor issue, was a minor issue, m wrongly diagnosed by others. Had I not heard your explanation today, I would have remained unaware of the severity of my condition." At this, Bulooked at her with deep appreciation and said, "Thank you very much for revealing the truth to me." Marissa smiled and replied, "Helping people is the fundamental duty of a doctor. You don't need to thank me. Now, you must focus on how to address this ongoing crisis."
