Joshua had just regained consciousness, so he had to be given some rest.

Other than Helena and Ginny, who were taking care of him, the rest were asked to leave the room.

“Master Howard, you really are a miracle doctor!

“I was blind to your greatness before, thank you so very much!”

Jackson apologized profusely while grasping Clarence’s hand. He looked like he was looking at a loved one of his as he spoke to Clarence, “Master Howard, from now on, you are the benefactor of the Hayes family. If you have anything to ask of us, please do not hesitate to do so.”

Boris stood off to the side with an ashen expression on his face. He looked awful.

Johnson’s face contorted into a huge smile. “Mr. Hayes, I was the one who brought him here.”

“Johnson Golding?”

“You actually know who I am, Mr. Hayes?” Johnson was overjoyed.

“Of course, your company has quite the reputation. If you’re willing, you’re welcome to partner up with the Hayes Consortium anytime,” Jackson replied casually.

Johnson looked like he had just struck the lottery, “Thank you, Mr. Hayes, thank you!”

Jeremy also wanted some glory. “Dad, I did well this time around, right?”

“Not bad! You’re worthy of a reward, so you can still get your allowance this month.” Jackson looked at his son briefly as he dismissed him.

Jeremy pouted and asked, “Nothing else?”

“Little brat! What other reward do you want for saving your own grandpa?” Jackson sounded a little angry.

“Eh…” Jeremy scratched his head, not knowing what else to say.

Suddenly...

Boris, who was still standing off to the side with a defeated look on his face, asked, “Young man, how in the world did you do that?”

“I simply unclogged his blood vessels and let the blood from the brain drain out.

“Without the blood clot pressing against his nerves, the patient will naturally regain consciousness,” Clarence explained casually.

“Impossible!”

Boris shook his head, “The blood vessels were blocked, so it would be virtually impossible for the blood to flow. The blood vessels in the brain had burst too, so how did you make the blood flow out of the brain?”

“Human anatomy is generally the same for all people. There are spaces and gaps in between the flesh, so how could the blood not flow in that situation?” Clarence fired a question of his own back at Boris.

Boris frowned, “Why did you administer the silver needles, though?”

“The needles open up the acupoints Shangxing and Shenting, unclogging the blood vessel!

“The Touwei position is to prevent backflow.

“Lastly, the Yangguan position is to stabilize his heart, so that the patient’s brain will not experience hypoxia, which can cause brain death!

“If I guessed correctly, Old Master Hayes has a pacemaker in his heart, yes?” Clarence asked calmly.

Jackson was overwhelmed with respect for Clarence as he replied, “Yes, yes, yes, my father had a pacemaker installed inside him five years ago.”

“Impossible! Even if the needles were administered at the positions that you mentioned, it would still be impossible for the blood to flow out of the brain on its own with just normal needle administration techniques.” Boris was still shaking his head, expressing his disbelief.

How could he have made the blood flow out of Old Master Hayes’ brain?

Boris would have had to perform brain surgery on Joshua if he had been left to use his own methods.

How could anyone get the blood clot in Joshua’s brain to flow out by itself by just administering four needles?

“Of course it would be impossible if it was just some normal technique.

“However, what if it was the Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture?” Clarence asked.

“What?

The Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture!”

Boris’ pupils shrunk and his body shuddered as he stared at Clarence in disbelief.

Legend had it that the Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture could save any patient by just administering needles, with each needle having a stronger effect than the last.

Clarence used only four needles to cure Joshua’s brain hemorrhage.

If legend was true, then if all thirteen needles were administered consecutively, even a person on the brink of death could be brought back to life. It was like saving someone from the clutches of death itself. Even if they were already standing in front of the gates of hell, they could still be saved.

That was where the Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture got its name!

Boris would never have expected that the technique Clarence had used was the legendary Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture.

“I see, I admit defeat!” Boris sighed deeply.

Without any more hesitation, Boris turned toward Clarence and was about to get down on his knees.

However, Clarence rushed forward to grab a hold of him and said, “Master Lowe, I was just joking, but you’re actually getting down on your knees?”

Clarence knew that Boris was a household name, so even though he would gain some satisfaction with Boris kneeling before him, he would also face the offense of many people.

“Young man, I like your personality.

“I’m really impressed and absolutely beaten!” Boris did not insist on kneeling once Clarence had stopped him.

Jackson looked at Clarence. A person who could gain Boris Lowe’s respect was definitely not a person to be scoffed at.

“Jeremy, bring Master Howard to the hotel and reward him well for his work today. I’ll have a look at your grandpa’s condition and join you two there once I’m done,” Jackson commanded.

Jeremy was obedient as he replied, “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll make sure that Master Howard is treated fantastically.”

Jackson looked at Boris and suggested, “Master Lowe, why don’t you join them?”

Boris laughed with a bitter tone and waved his hand at the invitation. “Forget it, I’m too embarrassed to show myself. I’ll be going back to Beth City right away.”

This incident had been a huge blow to Boris, so how could be in the mood for a meal?

After he asked Clarence for his phone number, he gathered up his team and left the hospital.

Jeremy took Clarence and Johnson to the hotel.

On their way there, Jeremy was humble and well-mannered as he said, “Master Howard, I think that we’re of similar ages. You’re so amazing at what you do, so why don’t I call you Brother Howard from now on?

Honestly, calling you Master Howard sounds so weird to me!”

“Brother Howard?” Clarence was stunned.

Johnson’s eyes lit up as he nudged Clarence, who was beside him.

Almost no one would even dare dream of becoming Jeremy Hayes’ brother!

Once associated with someone of Jeremy’s power and position, who in Mediterranean City would dare not give Clarence the time of day?

Furthermore, Clarence was now considered his big brother.

“Alright, you can call me Brother Howard.” Clarence nodded.

“Hehe, very well then, Brother Howard!”

After an hour’s journey, Clarence, Jeremy, and Johnson reached the Sheraton Seaview Hotel.

Clarence had just stepped foot into the hotel. He could not believe his eyes as he spotted something across the hall.

Beside a window looking out to the sea, Miranda was sitting across from another man, chatting happily.

Clarence had a closer look and realized that the man was Miranda’s first love—Sheldon Clark!

Clarence’s expression suddenly turned dark.

Miranda had mentioned in her note that she was going to work, right?

Why was she here meeting up with Sheldon, then?

Had he been… lying to himself about Miranda this whole time?
