Chapter 33 Not Far from Death

Upon arriving at the second floor room, there was already a group of people present. Scarlet Harris lay on the bed, her features strikingly beautiful but her face had turned pale and looked somewhat frightening. She appeared to be in a vegetative state with her eyes closed.

A doctor wearing a blue coat was observing her condition at the bedside while another middle-aged man stood next to him with an imposing presence. His face, which usually exuded authority without anger, was now filled with anticipation and concern.

This middle-aged man was none other than Zak Harris, the commanding officer of Edoland Garrison Command!

In addition to them, there was also a young man sitting on the other side of the bed. The youth's gaze was filled with tenderness and sorrow as he looked at Zak's daughter lying on the bed.

The young man's name was Conor Cox - he was Scarlet's university classmate who worked together with her in biological technology research institute within Edoland Science Academy. At the same time, he was also pursuing Scarlet romantically and their relationship had become somewhat ambiguous.

When Mason came in, he first glanced at Scarlet lying on the bed before turning his attention to Conor who met his gaze indifferently.

"Mr. Harris, how is Scarlet doing?" Mason asked concernedly.

Zak glanced at him and shook his head, his expression serious. Mason's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but Mason, who was known for his temper, didn't dare to lose it here.

Zak's position was there for all to see - he controlled the entire Garrison Command and not just Mason but even the entire Lowe family were beneath him.

Moreover, Mason was Scarlet's suitor; how could he be disrespectful to her father in front of her? He also knew that Zak didn't like him because of his involvement in many gray industries and wouldn't allow him to have contact with his daughter.

"Mr. Lowe, can you stop talking? Can't you see Dr. Bailey is treating Scarlet?" Conor teased.

"Didn't you say it too?" Mason retorted coldly, looking displeased at this rival of his.

"Enough!" Zak raised a hand and stopped them impatiently before turning to the doctor and asking, "Dr. Bailey, how is my daughter doing? Can you wake her up?"

This doctor was none other than Clifford Bailey who worked with Erik! He was rumored to be a descendant of a famous physician from ancient time. Whether true or false no one knew for sure but Clifford's medical skills were truly remarkable!

Although he had been invited by the Ward family to Edoland, he wasn't exclusively Erik's personal physician.

Zak heard that he was in Edoland, so he invited him over to see his daughter who had suddenly fallen into a coma three days ago. No one knew what strange illness she had contracted despite various tests and hospital visits. Zak could only hope for the vast knowledge of traditional medicine.

"Don't worry, Mr. Harris. I'm 70% confident that I can wake your daughter up! Her symptoms are called 'syncope collapse' in traditional medicine, which is caused by excessive brain fatigue and external evil energy blocking the meridians during sleep at night."

"Modern medicine can't cure it or find the cause, but all I need to do is apply a few needles to expel the evil energy and unblock her meridians. Your daughter will naturally wake up afterwards! Just

make sure she rests more!" Clifford said with some confidence after examining Scarlet.

Everyone present showed joy upon hearing this news. Zak was particularly excited and repeatedly nodded his head saying: "Good! Good! Dr. Bailey, you really live up to your reputation! Thank you so much!"

Mason was also thrilled upon hearing that Scarlet could be cured but felt guilty for bringing Lachlan along unnecessarily.

Conor was even more relieved and excited than anyone else as he held onto Scarlet's hand with tears of joy streaming down his face saying, "Scarlet, this is wonderful news! You can finally wake up!"

Lachlan looked at Conor with a deep meaning hidden in his eyes as he watched on silently from afar.

Although Conor appeared extremely happy, Lachlan still caught the flash of mockery on his face.

Who was the mockery aimed at?

At that moment, Clifford pulled out a pair of silver needles and began sterilizing them to begin acupuncture!

However, just then, Lachlan stepped forward and sternly advised, "Dr. Bailey, you must not do this! If you stick these few needles in her, Miss Harris will not only fail to wake up but also be in danger!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was shocked and turned to look at Lachlan.

"Brat, what did you say?" Clifford's face darkened as he asked with anger.

"Mason, who is this guy?" Zak asked with an unfriendly expression.

Just when he learned that his daughter might wake up soon after being in a coma for so long time, someone came along and said such alarming things. It was no wonder that Zak's mood would be bad.

"Uh... he is the doctor I found! Originally I wanted him to try treating Scarlet." Miranda explained awkwardly.

He didn't know how to introduce Lachlan; all he could say was that he had found him himself.

He couldn't tell Zak that this guy was his brother-in-law?

"Hmph! This has nothing to do with you two anymore!" Zak snorted, the intention to drive them away couldn't be any clearer.

"Mr. Lowe, where did you find this brat? Are you trying to save Scarlet or harm her?" Conor teased.

Mason's face immediately turned red and he couldn't help but turn around and glare fiercely at Lachlan.

He cursed inwardly at this unreliable bastard who had caused him to be ridiculed in front of Zak.

"Young man, are you also a doctor? Then you should understand that there is no shortcut for doctors. It all requires years of experience. If your skills are not enough, then you should speak carefully and study hard! Instead of talking nonsense and even harming people! Do you understand?" Clifford said sternly and coldly to Lachlan with a reprimanding tone.

Lachlan's words just now clearly questioned his medical skills, so naturally Clifford was unhappy about it. The implication was that Lachlan was too young and his medical skills were simply not good enough.

"Dr. Bailey, don't mind him, please hurry up and help Scarlet!" Zak waved his hand impatiently as he spoke urgently.

It could be said that he was anxious for his daughter's safety and didn't want Clifford to pay attention to Lachlan at all.

"Yes! Yes! Quickly give Scarlet the needles! Everyone is waiting for Scarlet to wake up," Conor urged.

Clifford nodded in agreement and stopped arguing with Lachlan. He held a silver needle and pierced Scarlet's temple.

Seeing this, Lachlan couldn't help but shake his head silently.

He knew what Clifford was going to do next, and he had guessed which acupoints Clifford was going to target. But as soon as these needles were inserted, Scarlet would be close to death!
