Chapter 355
Natalieâs back stiffened.
With great proficiency and gracefulness, Natalie inserted the needles into Liaâs acupoints.
Ten minutes later, she managed to insert forty-nine crystal needles in total.
As time went on, the acupoints began to react strangely. Veins were bulging and turning brown black at
the same time.
Lionel was astounded by the sight, as this was the first time he saw such a technique within traditional
medicine.
After that, the phenomenon continued to emanate throughout Liaâs body to the extent her neck and face
were covered by black bulging veins.
Furrowing her brows, Lia grimaced in pain.
Under normal circumstances, she would have already been woken up by the pain.
However, her eyes remained tightly shut. Despite that, her eyelashes were fluttering while her entire
body was twitching. She looked as if she was unable to wake from a nightmare.
Suddenly, Lia threw up a mouthful of black blood with a loud barf.
Panicking, Lionel asked Natalie, âWhy is she puking blood again?â
âItâs poison. Hence, itâs a good sign that sheâs vomiting it out.â Glancing at Lionel, Natalie added, âShe
has been throwing up since the banquet and still has a lot more poisoned blood to get out of her system.
Anyway, you should now wipe your arm clean, as we need to transfuse your blood to her.â
When Lionel froze at her words, Natalie frowned at him.
WO
âWhatâs the matter? Are you unwilling to donate blood to her despite being her elder brother?â
VOU 1
âNo, Iâm going to get ready now.â
After leaving the ward, Lionel contacted the hospitalâs blood bank to source blood on Liaâs behalf.
SOU
It wasnât because he was reluctant. In fact, he was willing to sacrifice his life to save Lia. Unfortunately,
they were not biological siblings and naturally didnât have the same blood type. As a result, he couldnât
donate his blood to her.
Back in the ward, Natalie wiped the black blood thrown up by Lia with a towel.
Observing Liaâs body, Natalie inserted crystal needles wherever there were bulging black veins. Her
objective was to force all the poison out.
After all, traditional medicine had in-depth research on poisons.
In contrast to modern medicineâs approach of diagnosing disease from the microbiological level,
traditional medicine makes its diagnosis from a macro perspective, drawing upon its history of a few
thousand years.
Therefore, Liaâs poison could only be treated by traditional medicine, as modern medicine would have
concluded that the poison was already in her blood, and there was no way she could be cured.
At that moment, Natalieâs body was splattered with black blood. Despite the sweat dripping down her
forehead, she maintained her focus on the acupuncture treatment.
Watching Natalie, Samuel felt concerned but was also filled with admiration.
*This woman may be feisty and decisive on the outside, but has a heart brimming with compassion on
the
inside.
The more he looked at her, the deeper he was in love with her.
Meanwhile, at the Bowers residence, the Bowers family banquet had turned into chaos.
Yaraâs hand had been cut by a broken vase. After it was treated by their family doctor, it was wrapped in
a thick bandage.
Despite it being already midnight, Kenneth was still awake.
He gave Yara the side-eye. âYara, given how timely your injury was, did you plan for it to happen?â
Despite feeling her heart sink, she maintained a calm exterior. âGrandpa, I didnât. I really broke the vase
by accident and cut my hand. Anyway, Iâll be heading to the hospital and see if thereâs anything I can do
to help Ms. Johnson.â
âThatâs a good idea.â Kenneth nodded. âLiaâs mom is a relative of the Bowers family and an amazing
woman. Hence, Iâm quite fond of Lia. Although her mom passed away young, I still hope that nothing
untoward would happen to her.â
âI understand,â Yara acknowledged despite thinking otherwise.
Even if Iâm in possession of Liaâs secret, it could still be leaked as long as sheâs alive. Therefore, I can
only feel safe once sheâs dead.
At that moment, the phone at the Bowerâs residence rang.
It was answered by the elderly butler.
âWhat is it?â Kenneth asked.
âSteven just called to inform that Ms. Johnsonâs condition is stable. She has been rescued from
the brink of death.â
