The Pinnacle of Life

Gasp!
Zachary’s hearty laughter stopped abruptly, as if a lively aged duck that had its neck suddenly pinched, waiting to be slaughtered.
In that instant, he was flushed with anger.
Alex nonchalantly said, “Aha, did I just expose the truth?”
“Nonsense! You’re the one with wet dreams, same goes to all your family members!” Zachary was infuriated.
It was his greatest pain as it happened almost every night. In the middle of the night, he was always jolted awake by the discharge, and had to clean up after himself. It was so bad that he dared not share a bedroom with his classmates when he was studying overseas, fearing his condition would be exposed.
However, Alex exposed his woe right in front of Cheryl, so he felt searing pain in humiliation as if his skin was being torn off.
Therefore, he would never admit to it.
Cheryl and James looked at Zachary amusingly.

James said, “Zachary, why don’t I check your pulse and see if it is legitimate? If it is true, it might affect your reproductivity, and you need to be treated as quickly as possible.”
“I said, I am healthy and there is nothing wrong with my body!” Zachary was extremely frustrated.
“You’re a doctor as well. It is an illness, don’t you know it? Your refusal to let me check your pulse is a sign that you have a guilty conscience. A little discharge here and there is fine. Then, is it possible that your conditions are very severe? How could I possibly let Cheryl marry you, knowing that you are having issues with your manhood?” James said.
Zachary snorted. “Fine, just check it if you want to. The traditional medicine practice is nothing but wizardry. During my time overseas, I had spent time in research and proved that traditional medicine is pseudoscience, just like the practices by those witch doctors. Such practice is completely out of touch and it should be phased out.”
However, after checking his pulse, James shook his head. “Zachary, you need to pay attention to your condition. Do you have wet dreams every night? It is quite severe already, you have to get it treated soon!”
Zachary was so embarrassed that he had an impulse to hit himself against the corner of the table.
Zachary was not convinced and said, “I am strong and energetic. Please do not speak nonsense.”
Cheryl snorted. “My grandfather is known as the genius doctor of California. How dare you question his abilities? I think you’re the one who knows nothing! Don’t ever think that studying overseas for a few years gives you the right and confidence to doubt our practice! How dare you actually say that traditional medicine is pseudoscience, it’s preposterous!”
“Other than wet dreams, you have severe renal insufficiency too.” Alex shook his head.
“You… Nonsense!” Zachary rebutted as his face turned grim.
Alex said with a faint snort, “Nobody can endure such over-frequent discharge every day. No matter how healthy you are, the over-frequent discharge will put a tremendous strain on your body, eventually you will be wasted! I daresay the modern practice that you admire so much would not be able to diagnose your illness. In the end, only traditional medicinal practice that you claim fraud can cure your ailment. Now it’s just renal insufficiency, but it might turn into renal failure a month later. When the time comes…”
Zachary knew what would happen without Alex continued saying.
That would be an unbearable consequence — uremia!
He had secretly visited countless hospitals and specialists but to no avail. The reason he came to visit James today was to consult his expertise on the matter and cure his ailment. Who would have thought Alex would come right in and ruin his plans.
James looked at Alex. “I do not have a good solution to his issue, Alex. The only way is to remove his manhood, to prevent worsening of his conditions.”
