With a bag of fresh fruits, Haylan hurried toward the Emergency Department as if his life depended on it.
After giving Declan a piece of his mind, Haylan was ready to head home when his phone rang. It was his sister, Felicia, urgently informing him that her child was sick and had been admitted to the hospital.
Haylan didnât waste a second and quickly grabbed some fresh fruits before rushing to the hospital.
Nothing else mattered as he focused solely on getting to his sisterâs child as fast as possible.
âSir!â
Haylan had just arrived at the hospital and was on his way to the pediatric ward when Sterling Kwen rushed up to him. Without hesitation, Sterling fell to his knees and clung to Haylanâs legs, tears streaming down his face. âThank goodness, I finally found you, sir,â Sterling sobbed. âPlease, please help me.â
âWho are you?â Haylan asked, feeling a bit bewildered by Sterlingâs sudden outburst.
âWho is this person?â he thought to himself. âI donât even know him.â
âIâm Sterling, a doctor here at the hospital. Do you remember me?â Sterling asked, hoping to jog Haylanâs memory. âYou used acupuncture to save an old man who collapsed on the street not too long ago.
âThe old manâs condition has worsened, and we desperately need your help to save him,â Sterling implored, looking up at Haylan with tear-filled eyes.
âPlease, Sir, I implore you to help us save the old manâs life.â
Sterling wasted no time getting straight to the point and clearly explained the situation to Haylan.
âHis condition has worsened? Did you take out the silver needles I inserted into him?â Haylan furrowed his brow in confusion.
âI didnât realize how crucial the silver needles were. Iâm sorry.â Sterling apologized, his voice filled with regret.
Haylanâs expression turned icy as he spoke. âWhy bother coming to me if you wonât listen to my advice? I have urgent matters to attend to and canât waste my time playing games,â he said, dismissively waving his hand.
With that, he turned to leave to visit his sister, his mind still preoccupied with the urgent matters at hand.
Sterling quickly grabbed Haylanâs leg, desperately pleading, âSir, please, if you donât intervene, the patientâs family will kill us all.
âItâs all my fault. I shouldnât have underestimated you. Iâm such a terrible person!
âPlease!â
After speaking, he even harshly slapped himself in the face, tears streaming down as he desperately pleaded.
Haylan furrowed his brow slightly but eventually relented, his voice low. âAlright, take me there.â
Sterling was overjoyed and quickly wiped away his tears, leading Haylan to the emergency room to save the patient.
As soon as Haylan stepped into the emergency room, his gaze fell on the patient lying on the bed, Dominic. His expression turned cold, and he approached the bed with an air of authority.
18.38 T Christor 25 âSure enough, the silver needle in Dominicâs heart acupoint has been removed,â Haylan thought with. a cold smirk.
âSir!â
Lucyâs eyes lit up as she saw Haylan. She immediately rushed over, grabbed his hand, and pleaded, âPlease, you have to save my grandpa⦠heâs dyingâ
She cried with tears streaming down her face, evoking sympathy from those around her.
*Relax, Iâm here now. Your grandfather will be okay.â
Haylan gently touched her hair and comforted her in a soft voice.
Haylan couldnât help but feel a surge of emotion as he saw Lucy, as she reminded him of his little sister. He looked at her with tender affection, wanting to do everything he could to help her.
Everyone present was dumbfounded at the sight.
They whispered to each other, âIsnât Miss Zabel the wealthy heiress of the Zabel family? How dare the man touch her hair like that?
âItâs simply too audacious and presumptuous!â
âLucy, is this the so-called divine healer you mentioned?â
Shawn intervened and forcefully pushed Haylanâs hand away, shooting him a cold, suspicious glance.
Shawnâs face darkened as he continued to observe Haylan. âI donât think this young man has the skills. to be a real divine healer, and certainly not capable enough to save my fatherâs life.â
âIs that so, Dad? I saw it with my own eyes. Grandpa recovered after just a few needles from him,â
Lucy said.
âMiss Zabel, donât let yourself be taken for a ride. This guy here seems to be nothing more than at street charlatan, a phony!â William declared in a frigid tone.
Haylan glanced at them and put the fruits aside. âWhether I am or not, letâs try to find out,â he said.
With his words said, Haylan walked toward Dominic, took out his silver needles, and prepared to start treatment.
âListen up, youngster. Do you really think a few silver needles can save someoneâs life? Well, let me make it clear, if you mess up and cause any harm, youâll be held accountable!â Charlie warned, looking at Haylan with a stern expression.
He secretly rejoiced in his heart, âI was worried that I couldnât find a scapegoat, but now the youngster has stepped forward to treat Old Mr. Zabel. So I can easily shift the blame for the ineffective rescue onto him, make him take the fall, and bear the wrath of the Zabel family.â
âI know!â Haylan said firmly.
Charlie sneered. âHah! Acupuncture for curing illnesses? What nonsense! Traditional medicine is at load of rubbish. If acupuncture can be used for emergency treatment, Iâll gladly chop off my head and let you use it as a football!â He looked at Haylan with a look of contempt.
He believed that traditional medicine was utterly inadequate in emergencies.
Moreover, he believed that Haylan, being so unknown and unremarkable, must be a fraudster.
In response, Haylanâs eyes turned cold as he stared at Charlie and said in a deep voice, âAlright, Iâll remember those words.â
His anger flared as he thought, âI can tolerate insults directed at me, but insulting traditional medicine is unacceptable!â
He took a deep breath and prepared to make his move, determined to prove that traditional 18.38 1 medicine was still a powerful force.
âWait a minute!â Shawn exclaimed in a deep voice.
He remained skeptical of Haylanâs abilities and was unwilling to take any chances.
âDad, I trust him. Let him treat Grandpa,â Lucy asserted.
Shawn furrowed his eyebrows, intending to say something more, but Haylan had already sprung into action.
Haylan was quicker this time, with his hands moving as fast as a fluttering butterfly as he inserted silver needles into the acupoints around Dominicâs heart.
[Buzz!]
As soon as the silver needles pierced Dominicâs skin, they emitted a faint white light.
At the same time, the silver needles emitted a buzzing sound.
âWhat?â
As he witnessed this scene, William, the renowned traditional medicine divine physician, widened his eyes in disbelief. âNeedle radiance, needle sonic⦠how is this possible?â
âMr. Hawk, whatâs going on?â Charlie asked, puzzled.
Shawn, Lucy, and others were also puzzled.
âNeedle radiance, needle sonic,â exclaimed William, his eyes wide with disbelief. âThese are skills that only a grand master of medicine, with profound inner strength and unparalleled medical expertise, can unleash!â
He looked at Haylan with a shocked expression and trembled, âAs far as I know, there are no more than ten divine healers in the country who can produce needle radiance and needle sonic with such profound internal strength and medical skills.â
âAmong them, Maxwell Rivers, the Master of the Divine Healers Sect, is one of the few who can do it,â he said, staring at Haylan in awe.
âWow!â
His words caused a stir among the crowd.
All eyes turned to Haylan, their gazes filled with newfound respect and admiration.
Maxwell Rivers, the Master of the Divine Healers Sect, was a national treasure and a medical god who could steady the world with his exceptional skills.
It was astonishing that William would even compare Haylan to Maxwell, which showed just how extraordinary Haylanâs medical skills must be.
Suddenly, William stared intently at the needles that Haylan had just inserted, his eyes filled with shock as he exclaimed, âThe Eighteen Needles of Exorcism!â
âThatâs incredible! Hasnât this acupuncture skill been lost for over 300 years? How could he possibly know this technique?â William exclaimed in disbelief.
âWhat is the Eighteen Needles of Exorcism, Mr. Hawk?â Lucy asked curiously, turning to William Hawk.
The Eighteen Needles of Exorcism is an ancient acupuncture skill that can supposedly eliminate any evil or demonic presence in the body and has the miraculous ability to heal patients on the verge of death,â William explained.
His gaze was fixated on the 18 silver needles as they fell from Haylanâs hand. His excitement was so palpable that it made his beard stick up. âI would never have imagined Iâd have the privilege of pter 25 witnessing this today,â he exclaimed. âItâs truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I can now die without regrets.â
Tears streamed down his face as he spoke.
Upon hearing Williamâs explanation, Shawn, Lucy, Charlie, Sterling, and the others looked at each other in confusion.
Their curiosity was piqued. âIs there really such a miraculous acupuncture skill in the world?â they wondered.
[Beep beepâ¦]
Just as they were puzzled and bewildered with Haylanâs treatment, the data on the electrocardiogram monitor began to change continuously, gradually shifting from the red danger line to the normal green line.
The ECG slowly shifted from its heart attack indication to a normal waveform.
Dominicâs breathing became steady and smooth.
His pale face gradually regained color, and a healthy flush spread across his cheeks.
âHeâs fine!â
âGreat, he really survived!â
âHow amazing, he really can bring people back to life!â
Upon seeing this scene, Shawn, and the others, were overjoyed, thrilled almost to the point of jumping up and down in excitement.
âWhat theâ¦â
Charlie looked at Dominic, who had come back to life, with an expression of disbelief. His mouth.
hung open in shock, and he was so overwhelmed that he couldnât even utter a word.
He couldnât help but doubt himself. âWe have so many doctors and professors who couldnât save the patients, yet the youngsterâs 18 needles managed to revive him.â
âHow is that even possible?â he wondered aloud.
