Chapter 295 Now
The Understated Dragon Lord
After examining the leg, Daniel knew what to do. "Sir, did you get these injuries on the battlefield?"
"Cut the crap!" Emily rolled her eyes and retorted, "Country boy, isn't that obvious? Everyone knows
Grandpa was hit by shrapnel in the war. Who doesn't know that?"
Daniel ignored Emily and continued. "Were you shot three times? At these spots? Here, here, and
here?"
Daniel pointed to three locations on Oliver's leg. Decades had passed since the injuries, and the
scars had healed completely, leaving no visible marks. Except for Oliver, no one knew exactly
where the shots had hit, but Daniel pinpointed them precisely, each spot exact.
This detail took Oliver by surprise. Still, as a seasoned veteran, he remained composed and simply
nodded in acknowledgment. "Yes, those are the spots."
"After you were injured, the bullets were removed, but due to medical limitations at the time, the
nerves were damaged during the procedure. That's why your right leg suffered muscle atrophy and
ended up like this."
"That's correct, the doctors at the city hospital said as much. They also told me it's irreversible;
that's why my leg has been deemed untreatable."
"By modern methods, your leg indeed wouldn't be treatable. Modern medicine tends to remove the
damaged parts and then proclaim the problem solved. But witch doctors don't work that way; they
believe every part of the body is important. Not just flesh and bloodâeven hair shouldn't be cast
aside lightly."
Daniel was in the midst of advocating for witch doctor techniques when Emily interrupted with a
sneer.
"Heh!" she laughed, then immediately mockingly said to Daniel, "Where did you pick up these lines,
country boy? Don't you think they're a bit overdone? Without modern medicine, even C-sections
wouldn't exist. Witch doctors can't even handle a difficult childbirth, so what nonsense are you
spouting?"
"Don't worry, I speak with actions, not just words," Daniel responded.
"And what actions might those be?"
"Modern medicine can't treat the old man's leg? Well, I can heal it! A few needles, using witch
doctor acupuncture, I guarantee Iâll have him walking without a cane. Like, now!"
"Now? You mean to tell us that after a few needle pricks, grandpa can walk a few steps on his own,
without a cane?"
"Exactly! Not just a few steps, he could walk a mile without stopping if he wanted, though he'd need
to recover gradually. After acupuncture, he'll need herbal therapy to repair his body. His leg's been
injured for decades, and the muscles are nearly necrotic. If he wants a complete recovery, it will
take at least a hundred days."
Oliver was utterly taken aback by Daniel's words.
"Daniel, are you saying my leg can be healed in a hundred days?"
"Yes."
"Even if it's not a complete recovery, even if it's just twenty or thirty percent better, I would be truly
grateful to you!"
