The doctor coldly listed a few precautions. John listened intently, afraid to miss a single word. When the doctor finished speaking, John quickly asked, "Doctor, Zac has a congenital heart condition. Dr. Pierce knew about it. His heart is fine, right?" "Dr. Pierce?" The doctor adjusted his glasses, his expression blank. "He was expelled from the medical field for accepting bribes and issuing fraudulent medical certificates." He glanced at Zac and continued, "As for the heart condition, his heart has a minor issue, not an illness. There's no need for treatment. He can live like a normal person. It won't affect him." The doctor's tone was indifferent, but to the Gray family, his words were like a thunderclap. "What?" Everyone in the Gray family widened their eyes, unable to believe what they had just heard. John shook his head in disbelief. "How is that possible? Zac used to faint whenever he got too emotional. He had to come to the hospital all the time. How could there be nothing wrong?" Ignoring his own injuries, John anxiously looked at the doctor. "Doctor, are you sure you're not mistaken? Is he really fine?" John feared that the hospital had misdiagnosed Zac and delayed his treatment. The doctor couldn't help but roll his eyes. "While we were suturing his internal bleeding, we conducted a full examination of his heart. With so many eyes watching, how could we possibly be mistaken?" Boom! It was as if a thunderbolt had struck the Gray family. Susie blurted out, "How is that possible? I remember when Zac participated in the provincial swimming championship. He had a heart episode but still pushed through and won first place! We all saw it!" Hearing that, the doctor could barely suppress his eye roll. If not for his professional ethics keeping his temper in check, he would have cursed out loud. "Do you people have any common sense? A heart episode isn't something you can just push through! Symptoms include palpitations, chest tightness, dizziness, and heart pain, and the person could collapse at any moment. When an episode happens, even standing or breathing becomes difficult! How could he have jumped into the water to swim and even won a championship? What do you think he is, a miracle?" The doctor took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay calm. "Even if we assume the mildest case, a person with heart disease might occasionally use swimming as aerobic exercise. But if, as you claim, Zac faints from emotional agitation, there's absolutely no way he could endure the rigorous training required for professional swimming, let alone compete in a provincial championship!" The doctor was totally lost for words. A provincial swimming competition takes years of pro training. Do they really think the competitors are just amateurs? That they'd let someone with heart disease take the win? He clicked his tongue in silent amusement. The Gray family truly lived up to their infamous reputation. He never expected to witness it firsthand. The entire Gray family stood frozen, unsure whether to be angry at the doctor's attitude or shocked by Zac's supposed condition. In the end, the doctor firmly concluded, "With this minor issue, he could not have fainted due to a heart condition. We conducted a full-body examination. He is in excellent health. Apart from the numerous injuries from this incident, there is nothing wrong with him." He had deliberately emphasized that statement. He had long heard rumors that Zac, the adopted son of the Gray family, was a master of deception, a manipulative schemer. Seeing it in person confirmed everything. Fainting from emotional distress? Who does he think he is, some delicate, tragic heroine? The doctor turned to leave, but John hurriedly stopped him. "But every time Zac fainted and was sent to the hospital, Dr. Pierce always said it was his heart acting up!" "Dr. Pierce?" The doctor sneered. "As I said earlier, he was expelled from the field for accepting bribes and issuing fraudulent medical certificates." When he said this, his tone was especially pointed. No one knew how it happened, but despite issuing only one fake certificate for Zac, Pierce was suddenly investigated a few days ago. Rumor had it that some powerful figure had discovered the truth and decided to ruin him. The doctor left, leaving the Gray family too stunned to react, especially John. Zac's so-called heart condition was something Renee Snow had told him about when Zac was just a month old. Back then, he had secretly taken Zac to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor who attended to them was none other than Pierce. For all these years, Pierce had been solely responsible for Zac's condition. Whether before or after Zac returned to the Gray family, it had always been Pierce overseeing his case.
