Dr. Carlson was also alarmed when he saw Blanc covered in blood. Harvey sighed with a look of despair, hoping to avoid explaining the situation.Veronica, unable to control her rage, glared at Delilah and complained, âAll of this is her fault. She brought a con with her who said he could treat any cancer, even in its advanced stages. We fell for her lies because we were too eager to save Mr. Whitlock. Little did we know that the so-called miracle healer was crazy! He poked the poor old man and caused him to bleed everywhere. We were all shocked at what happened. That con man said that we needed to release the blood thatâs been congested internally in his system. Does he think we are fools? He must be an assassin hired by Delilah; Mr. Whitlock must have known she stole his money and she plans to silence him so that she doesnât have to pay up.âDelilahâs face turned pale as she felt helpless in the face of the accusations and the stress of worrying about her grandfatherâs health.âDid you say treating end-stage cancers with needles? This is hilarious! Even Mr. Russo would not dare to make such wild claims,â Dr. Carlson said in bewilderment.Daiz nodded his head in agreement before taking a read of Blancâs pulse. However, his face scrunched up, sharp lines of confusion digging into his brow.âCan you save my father, Mr. Russo?â Harvey probed.The old manâs face flushed red as he asked agitatedly, âDid you say a man did acupuncture for Mr. Whitlock? How many needles did he use? Do you remember where he inserted the needles?â Everyone looked at him, perplexed. They did not even bother looking at the acupuncture spots when Skylar administered the treatment. Just then, Delilahâs cousin raised his hand and said, âI took a video of the whole process in case we need evidence of his criminal act. Do you want to have a look?âDaiz rushed up to the young man and said, âYes! Please hurry and show it to me!âThe old man looked up from the phone screen in a daze a minute later. As he spoke, his lips trembled. âTwenty-four needles, no more, no less. Itâs the lost art from the North, the 24 Needles Technique.âHarvey asked in confusion, âTwenty-four needles?â The Whitlocks had assumed Skylar was a hoax; they did not expect him to be familiar with such advanced needle techniques.âWhereâs the young lad? Where is he?â Daiz asked impatiently. He felt it was pointless to explain the matter to the Whitlock family.Harvey shook his head and replied unwillingly, âHe left.âDr.
Carlson, concerned about Blancâs condition, reminded Daiz of the reason for his visit. âAre you able to tell whatâs wrong with Mr. Whitlock? Whatâs the best treatment approach?âEveryone held their breath in anticipation. Finally, Daiz stroked his beard and sighed. âIâd be half as confident in treating Mr. Whitlock if the young lad hadnât appeared. However, Iâve less than 10 percent confidence right now!â
