âYou quack! What did you feed my dad?â Leanne turned around and glared at Yosef like a wild animal.
Yosef opened his mouth. âItâs...
âItâs Humanity Hallâs life-extension pill!
âItâs never gone wrong with patients before.
âWhy did he...â
Yosef was sweating profusely. He could not figure things out.
Other patients would get better immediately after taking life-saving pills.
Why had this happened to Thompson after he took the life-saving pill?
âHelp...
âHelp! Can somebody help my dad?â Leanne begged helplessly.
However, all the doctors in the courtyard backed away. âAre you kidding me?â
As doctors, they had a few skills.
Everyone could tell that Thompson was going to die and that there was no way he could be saved.
What if the Wright family blamed them if Thompson died after receiving treatment? They could not afford to take on the responsibility.
Clarence was about to walk forward, but a warm hand stopped him. âDonât go.â
âCecilia?â Clarence looked at Cecilia in surprise.
Cecilia shook her head slightly and whispered, âWith Old Master Wrightâs condition, heâs definitely going to die. Arenât you afraid of taking responsibility if you go out now?â
If it were Miranda, she would say Clarence was over-confident and simply taunt him.
However, Cecilia was simply thinking about Clarenceâs side of things, worried that he would fail to save Old Master Wright and would have to take the responsibility.
It was not that she did not believe Clarence.
Clarenceâs heart warmed. âDonât worry. I have a way to save Old Master Wright.â
âAre you sure?â It was Ceciliaâs turn to be surprised.
Clarence nodded with a smile. âOf course.â
Cecilia hesitated for a few seconds. âAlright, go for it. Donât push yourself too much.â
âOkay.â
Clarence nodded and stepped out slowly. âI can save him.â
The doctors in the courtyard looked at Clarence in horror.
Shirley saw that it was Clarence. âHow can you save him?
âHavenât you caused enough trouble, you loser?
âGo the f*ck back to where you came from!
âYou grandstanding thing. Even my dad canât save Old Master Wright. That means Old Master Wrightâs time is up!â
Clarence ignored Shirley and slowly walked into the sanatorium to take a look at Thompson.
He sighed. âOld Master Wright only has ordinary hydropneumothorax, and some other unmentionable disease. If you had let me treat Old Master Wright at Thirteen Hall this morning, Old Master Wright would have been alright.
âI warned you to keep Old Master Wright away from cold and raw things.
âDespite that, you left Old Master Wright out in the rain this afternoon and made his illness worse.
âIt wasnât a big problem at first, but so many doctors have taken turns to see him.
âEven if he wasnât sick earlier, heâs sick now!
âNot to mention, Yosefâs life-taking needle made Old Master Wrightâs illness worse!
âThe life-extension pill was the final straw that broke Old Master Wrightâs back!â Clarence shook his head as he sighed.
Leanne froze on the spot. She had no idea it was so serious.
Yosef was furious. âNonsense! My needleâs a life-saving miracle needle, not some life-taking needle!â
âLife-saving miracle needle? Haha.â
Clarence sneered. âThe patient you treated with acupuncture might be fine at first.
âHowever, isnât it always painful after that?
âTheir vitality, energy, and spirit will keep declining afterward!â
âHow did you know?â Yosef looked at Clarence quizzically.
There was a touch of fierceness in Clarenceâs eyes. âItâs because thatâs not some life-saving miracle needle at all. Itâs an evil medical skill that brings out the human bodyâs potential.
âThe armies used it during the Middle Ages!
âIt was to stimulate the medieval soldiersâ combat effectiveness!
âThe soldier will be 100 times stronger once he receives this acupuncture.
âHis perception of pain is reduced by ten times!
âEven if he were to be slashed by a knife, or break his bones, he wouldnât be able to feel the pain.
âIt was later abolished by the king because it was too inhumane.â
Everyone was in shock after hearing Clarenceâs explanation.
âNonsense!â
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Yosefâs forehead.
He had indeed learned the acupuncture skill from an old war book.
âIs Clarence telling the truth?â
Yosef had no idea about the overbearingness of the acupuncture skill and had simply used it in treatments. Many of his patients had been cured.
Yosef thought his medical skills had improved, but he did not expect it to be because of this.
Shirley roared, âClarence, donât slander him!
âYou said my dadâs life-saving miracle needle was fatal. If so, why was the life-extension pill the last straw that broke Old Master Wrightâs back?â
Clarence looked at Shirley like he was looking at an idiot. âOld Master Wrightâs body is already weak, and you must have terrible tonics like ginseng, fleeceflower root, and snow lotus in your life-extension pill, donât you?
âThis stuff can indeed help patients live longer if theyâre in good health!
âHowever, if you give it to a dying man, not only is it ineffective, but it is a death-prompt!
âOld Master Wright was already in poor health, yet you still gave him such an intense medicine.
âWhat is it, if not harming him?â
Shirley was speechless.
Leanne roared, âYou quacks, compensate for my fatherâs life!â
Shirley hastened to explain, âNo, Ms. Wright.
âClarenceâs the Murphy familyâs loser son-in-law. What does he know about medicine?â
Clarence said lightly, âMs. Wright, your father isnât dead yet. No man has to pay for his life, at least for the time being.â
Leanne looked at Clarence excitedly. âMaster Howard, do you have a way to save him?â
She was now at a loss and desperately clutching at straws.
Even if a beggar said he could save Thompson now, Leanne would be willing to believe him for once.
Therefore, she let go of her prejudice and let Clarence give it a try.
âYes.â Clarence nodded.
Shirley sneered. âIf you can do it, then pigs can fly.â
Slowly walking up to Thompson, he pulled out a needle and pinned it to the vital energy between Thompsonâs eyebrows and shoulders to stop his condition from deteriorating.
Clarence unbuttoned Thompsonâs clothes and inserted needles into his organs such as⦠his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, stomach, and gallbladder.
The viscera of the human body were connected, and each organ had meridians that vital energy passed through, connecting it to the blood.
After Clarence had done all this, the vital energy between Thompsonâs eyebrows and on his shoulders dimmed a little.
However, the vital energy on organs such as... his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, stomach, and gallbladder... lit up instantly.
It was like an extinguished candle being rekindled.
The moment the vital energy all over Thompsonâs body lit up, he opened his eyes slowly. âLeanne...â
âWhat?â Shirley widened her eyes in disbelief. âHas the dead resurrected?â
The group of doctors outside the sanatorium was shocked, looking at Clarence in shock.
âDad...â
Leanne burst into tears of joy and pounced over, only to be held back by Clarence. âWait, Old Master Wright is still very weak and needs rest.
âIâll prescribe Old Master Wright some medicine, and heâll be fine after resting for more than half a month.â
Leanne stopped and looked gratefully at Clarence. âThank you, Master Howard!
âHelp! Get these quacks out of here!â
A group of black-suited bodyguards rushed over to Yosef, Shirley, and Samuel.
