Chapter47
The old man’s voice seemed to belong to that of a sacred king. Everyone’s expression changed when they heard it.
It was Hugo’s voice!
Hadn’t he been unable to talk for days?
“Why can he talk now?” Everyone was curious.
Chase caught Angelina in his arms when she fell backwards.
He then tapped on her forehead with a casual flick.
Angelina could feel that she was filled with energy again. When she raised her head, she happened to catch a glimpse of Chase’s handsome face.
Her face blushed for no reason. Her tears could not help rolling down her cheeks.
He had come out of the room…
Oh yes, her grandfather!
Angelina immediately stood up and strode into the room.
Tyler and the others rushed in as well.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
They saw Hugo leaning against the edge of the bed in the room.
At this moment, Hugo’s face was not as lifedess as how he was previously.
On the contrary, there was a rosy flush on his face.
This made Tyler and the others even more astonished.
“Is Grandpa all right now? Tyler thought.
Hugo looked at Tyler coldly and blurted out, “Tyler, you have hurt Angelina!”
His question made Tyler freeze to the spot He hurriedly waved his hand. “No, Grandpa It’s just a misunderstanding We’re worried about you and afraid that something would happen if this useless doctor…”
“Useless doctor? Hmph, the man who can make me talk again is a useless doctor, you say?” Hugo retorted indifferently.
Everyone looked at Chase instantly.
They did not see it wrongly. He was indeed that good-for-nothing, the son-in-law of the Song family.
What kind of witchcraft did he use to make Hugo talk again?
Tyler peeked at Henry with the corners of his eyes.
Henry nodded and said, “Old Master LL, I’m Henry He. May I examine you?”
Hugo nodded his head. He had heard of Henry before as Henry was well-known for his medical skills.
Henry went to examine Hugo’s body and immediately discovered that there were still silver needles on Hugo’s body.
His face darkened at once.
“Nonsense! I finally understand why the old master can talk now! Hurry up, arrest that good-for-nothing Henry shouted.
Everyone was startled.
Hugo narrowed his eyes.
“What you guys see now is called the terminal lucidity! It means that the Old Master’s life is coming to an end soon! Thiskid must have given him some stimulants.
Or he could be using these silver needles to stimulate him. This is practically drinking to quench one’s thirst. He’s murdering the Old Master” Henry trembled with rage.
When Angelina heard this, her pupils contracted and she immediately shouted, “That’s impossible! Chase will never do such a thing!”
Henry replied firmly. “Hmph! Don’t you think so? I’ve heard from Tyler about the Old Master’s condition. He’s terminally ill Perhaps, only the Tranquility Needle Technique can save the Old Master. This man is just a nobody. What do you think he can do to make the Old Master talk now? If it’s not the terminal lucidity, what is it?”
Anger rushed through Tyler. He roared, But at this time, Hugo snorted coldly, “Hmph!
Who’s the useless doctor? Does anyone know my condition better than me? Henry don’t defame my lifesaver!”
Henry froze, his face twitched. He didn’t dare to offend Hugo.
However, the more Henry looked at Hugo’s face, the more worried he felt.
It was impossible for Chase to treat a dying old man in just a few minutes and to make him look so healthy.
He must have used some infamous means.
He was trying to prolong Hugo’s life by force.
The Old Master must have gone senile!
Tyler looked at Henry, who shook his head indicating that Tyler should not get on theOld Master’s nerves for the time being.
“You good-for-nothing! I won’t spare you if something bad happens to my grandfather!”
Tyler grabbed Chase’s shirt and roared showing no signs to give in.
Chase swung his hand and pulled Tyler out of the room.
He glanced at the few people in front of him Indifferently before his gaze fell on Henry The sarcasm in his eyes could not be more obvious.
” I don’t want to waste my time with you guys Old Master, please have a rest first. I’ll go outside now. By the way, don’t pull out the needles on your body for the time being I’ll come over later and remove them for you said Chase as he walked out of the room.
Angelina followed him hurriedly
The people who stayed in the room looked at each other in dismay. Chase did not show any respect for Henry at all.
Henry, on the other hand, felt humiliated. He had never felt embarrassed like this!
He had been practicing medicine for a few decades, and everyone was respectful to him. He was even called the resurrected Hua Tuo, who was a famous physician of the Han Dynasty.
However, this guy was so arrogant even though he had used such outrageous means in treating Hugo.
Henry was determined to expose Chase’s hidden dirty tricks.
Henry looked at Hugo and said, “Old Master, I’ll put out the needles for you first”
Pull out the needle?
Hugo’s face turned ashen.
“Old Master, you were deceived by that guy. Perhaps you didn’t know that these needles on your body are located in the vital acupoints of the human body. If the needles
are applied at these key acupoints temporarily, it can behave like a stimulant, which explains the reason you feel so good now. However, all the strength in your body
will be completely gone after a period of time. At that point in time, even the god won’t be able to save you,”explained Henry as he pointed to the silver needles.
This was also the main reason Henry was so confident that he claimed that Chase had used some infamous means.
When Hugo heard this, his heart could not help but skip a beat.
Was Henry telling the truth?
“Judging on Henry’s status, he shouldn’t have lied to me…” Hugo thought.
That guy…
“Old Master, please hold on a little longer. I’ll
save you right now!” Henry reached out his hand and pulled a needle out from his body.
Henry’s eyes narrowed into slits as the needle was removed from his body. However, he still felt energetic.
Henry looked at him and was finally at ease.
“This is exactly what I thought! Tyler, hurry up and catch that guy He must be making up an excuse to run away now.”
Upon hearing this, Tyler quickly dashed out, his anger growing in him.
Without any hesitation, Henry quickly took out all the silver needles from Hugo’s body.
He clapped his hands and was about to talk to Hugo before he shouted out.
Hugo had been doing all right. However, all of a sudden, he spat out a mouthful of blood after Henry pulled out the last needle.
Hugo’s face turned jaundiced again at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His body began to twitch uncontrollably.
This had scared Henry out of his wits.
He hurriedly went and examined Hugo, who was unconscious. To his horror, he could no find out the cause that could explain Hugo’s presentation at all.
If he couldn’t even find the cause, how could he rescue Hugo?
Henry was terrified as he watched the Old Master’s life slowly seeping away from him.
He knew he would be doomed for his life if Hugo’s family were to blame him for Hugo’s death.
What should he do?
While Henry was panicking, his gaze inadvertently fell on the silver needles that he had just pulled out a while ago.
His face turned pale at once as if he had seen a demon.
The silver needles on the table were coatd with red ink
They were…
They were from the Lu Family in the North Lake City.
They were Divine Doctor Lu’s exclusive silver needle, the Needles of Ruby Flower!
