Greg Jensen arrived at the hospital and saw Norman Holmes still in a coma, with a large piece of gauze taped to his chest, lying in the intensive care unit.
âMr. Jensen, youâre finally here.â
jaylene River looked haggard, her eyes red and swollen, clearly having just cried.
Greg glanced at the intensive care unit and asked, âSister-in-law, donât worry, whatâs the situation with my brother right now?â
âThe doctor said his sternum is shattered, and his organs are slightly damaged. Luckily, they werenât punctured, or else he would have died on the spot.â âTheyâve already dealt with the shattered sternum, but he still hasnât woken up. If he doesnât make itâ¦â
Jaylene, unable to hold back, began to cry again.
âSister-in-law, donât worry. Let me check on the situation first,â Greg said.
âAlright, Iâll be troubling you then.â
Greg didnât stand on ceremony, gesturing to Bobby Prince and the others to take care of Jaylene, then he entered the intensive care unit himself.
Riverhaven County was a small hospital; generally, nobody with serious problems was treated here, but given Normanâs current condition, it wasnât suitable to transfer him elsewhere, so the only option was to observe him here.
The doctor inside frowned upon seeing Greg enter and said, âSorry, now is not visiting hours for relatives.â
âI am not just a relative, I am also a doctor, coming to look at my friendâs
condition.â
âA doctor? Stay right there, donât move,â the doctor replied.
The doctor exited the ward with a stern face and said to Jaylene and the others, âWhatâs the meaning of this? Youâre staying at Riverhaven Hospital, how can you bring in an outside doctor?â
Bobby Prince was already in a bad mood, and upon hearing this, got angry, exclaiming, âWhatâs wrong with an outside doctor? If you canât treat him, can t another doctor take a look?â
The doctorâs face turned steel blue with anger and he said sternly, âWhat kind of talk is that⦠Perhaps you should transfer hospitals.â
âDoctor, I apologize, theyâre just upsetâ¦â Jaylene said.
The doctor snorted coldly, âIf you trust us, then stay here; if you donât, transfer
out as soon as possible.â
âI want to stay here, is that any of your business?â
Bryce Cooke, unfazed, said coldly, âLet me tell you, you had better speak politely to my sister-in-law.
If you piss me off, not only will I complain about you, but Iâll also make sure your whole family ends up staying here.
âBryce, shut up!â
âUnderstood, Mr. Jensen.â
Seeing Greg walk out, Bryce, like a mouse seeing a cat, immediately cowered.
Greg gave him a sharp look, took out ten thousand yuan from his bag, and secretly stuffed it into the doctorâs pocket, smiling, âMy brothers are in a bad mood; I appreciate your patience.â
Without a trace of expression, the doctor pocketed the money, glanced coldly at Bryce, and said to Greg, âGo in, but this wonât happen again.â âThank you very much,â Greg replied with a smile, nodding his head.
Turning to Bryce and the others, he said, âYou guys take care of my sister-in-law outside, no fooling around, got it?â
âYes, Mr. Jensen,â they answered in unison, including Bryce and Bobby Prince. âSister-in-law, Iâm going in to have a look,â Greg said to Jaylene, before returning to the intensive care unit, with the doctor following him.
The doctor stood aside, watching as Greg took Norman s pulse for a while, then pulled out a silver needle, and pricked it into Normanâs head at several acupuncture points.
âI thought you were just looking, why are you sticking him with needles?â the doctor exclaimed in surprise, wanting to intervene but fearful of causing a medical incident by removing the needle wrong.
Without turning his head, Greg replied, âItâs okay, heâs taken a heavy blow to the head, thatâs why he hasnât woken up yet; a few pricks should do it.
âBrother, Iâve been a doctor for over a decade, donât you bring trouble on me, the doctor said.
âTrust me, itâs going to be alright,â Greg reassured.
As he spoke, Greg didnât stop moving the silver needles, swiftly inserting several into Normanâs head.
Finally, he channeled his True Qi and gently brushed over the tails of the needles.
Hum!
The silver needles immediately began to tremble at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually, the speed was so fast it became invisible.
Witnessing this, the doctor was dumbstruck, pointing at Normanâs head with his mouth wide open, but at a loss for words.
Greg Jensen didnât pay any attention to him, his expression solemn as he stared at the silver needles.
A moment later, he quickly removed all the silver needles.
Only after completing this did he breathe a sigh of relief and turned back to the doctor, âWait and see, heâll wake up in less than half an hour.
âReally⦠really?â
The doctor was obviously skeptical but was also influenced by Greg Jensenâs confident demeanor and nodded blankly.
Greg Jensen got up and left the monitoring room, heading to the corridor outside.
Jaylene River and the others immediately crowded around him.
âMr. Jensen, how is Norman doing?â
âYes, Mr. Jensen, how is my big brother faring?â
Greg Jensen revealed a very affable smile, âDonât worry, Evan will wake up soon.â
âReally? Thatâs great!â
Jaylene River and Bobby Prince had seen Greg Jensenâs medical skills before, and hearing him say this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, joy apparent on their faces.
âMr. Jensen, thank you, thank you so muchâ¦â
Jaylene River started to speak with a sob, and was about to kneel to Greg Jensen.
Greg Jensen was taken aback and quickly supported her, saying, âI consider myself a brother to Evan, so sister-in-law, donât be so formal with me.â âSister-in-law, Mr. Jensen is right, please donât stand on ceremony, letâs talk about it after Evan wakes up.â
âYes, sister-in-law.â
Bobby Prince and Bryce Cooke also comforted her from the side, and Jaylene
River finally felt a bit better.
âThen letâs wait until your brother wakes up to talk.â
âMhm.â
Greg Jensen smiled and nodded.
The nervous doctor came over and asked in a low voice, âBro, is the patient really going to wake up?â
âHaha, of course, you can rest easy with me on the job.â
âOkay, as long as he can wake up, thatâs good.â
The doctor let out a long sigh of relief, then suddenly took out the ten thousand from earlier and handed it back.
Greg Jensen was puzzled, âWhat are you doing?â
âIâve decided, I canât take this money.â
âHaha, just keep it. Evan is going to stay here for a while after waking up.
You will be taking a lot of trouble over this period, so consider this money as your recompense for the hard work.â
âThisâ¦â
âTake it.â
Greg Jensen laughed, stuffing the money back into the doctorâs hand.
Seeing this, the doctor could only nod and say, âAlright then, 1â11 hold onto it first.â
âMhm, thatâs more like it.â
Greg Jensen also started to smile.
Just then, Bobby Prince suddenly exclaimed, âHey, Evanâs awake, Evan seems to have woken up.â
âHeâs really awake.â
âThatâs fantastic.â
The people in the corridor immediately became excited.
âEveryone calm down for a moment, no need to rush, let me go in and check first.â
After telling everyone, Greg Jensen stepped into the monitoring room and saw that Norman Holmesâs eyes were already open, looking around in confusion.
Seeing Greg Jensen, his gaze finally focused again, and he asked in a daze, âBro Greg, was it you who brought me to the hospital?â
Greg Jensen smiled, âNo, it was your sister-in-law and the others who brought you here, I just performed acupuncture on you.â
The doctor beside him quickly added, âYes, it was thanks to this gentlemanâs acupuncture that youâve woken up now, otherwise you still wouldnât be awake..â
