Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty

"Such a poor child…" Even Derek, with all his expertise, was helpless against the grim reality.

The doctors and nurses around Derek looked downcast as they saw his expression.

"Evan!" Zach was visibly shaken by Derek's words. He barely managed to brace himself against the nearby wall, his eyes brimming with despair.

Yolanda, standing just behind Zach, saw Derek carefully removing each acupuncture needle. She quickly moved forward. "Don't take out the last needle!" she said.

Derek's earlier attempts to revive Evan had already cost valuable time. Every second was critical now, and there was no margin for error. The last needle was placed at Evan's CV 3 acupuncture point, and removing it could hinder the treatment.

Derek stopped abruptly. When he saw it was Yolanda, he shot back, "This is an operating room! Who allowed you to come in here?"

It was one thing for Zach, as a family member, to be here, but anyone else could bring in bacteria and interfere with the medical team's work. Even though the patient had already passed away, it didn't mean anyone had the right to just walk in.

Derek had a connection with the Wright family. He had watched Evan grow up, and seeing such a young life cut short was deeply painful for him. Yolanda's actions only made it worse.

"You're disrupting our work here. Leave, now!"

Yolanda disregarded Derek's sharp reprimand. She went straight to the side of the operating table and started administering acupuncture to Evan.

When Derek saw Yolanda pulling out an acupuncture needle, he shouted angrily, "This is ridiculous! Evan is already gone. What are you doing?"

Fuming, he rushed forward to shove her aside, only to find that he couldn't budge her at all.

Yolanda didn't have time to deal with Derek. Evan's condition was critical. If the treatment had been delayed even another five minutes, she might not have been able to save him.

With a determined and intense focus, Yolanda started applying the most vital technique from the Five Elements Divine Needles to Evan. She first worked to clear the blocked energy pathways in Evan's body and then tried to stimulate his heart.

Derek had been ready to stop Yolanda, but when he saw the precision and skill with which she performed the acupuncture, he was taken aback.

While Derek stood frozen, the nearby nurses couldn't bear to watch any longer.

"The patient has no heartbeat, and you're still poking needles into him? Have you no decency?"

"Where's security? Somebody get security and have her removed immediately!"

"This is unbelievable!"

The nurses couldn't grasp Yolanda's acupuncture techniques, but Derek recognized that she was using the Five Elements Divine Needles.

Derek himself knew only the basics of this method and couldn't apply it with any real skill. Yet here Yolanda was, a high school student, displaying a level of mastery that left him completely stunned. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

"No need to call security! I authorized her to treat Evan!" Zach suddenly interjected, cutting through the barrage of criticism from the medical staff aimed at Yolanda.

Zach was out of options by now. Yolanda was his last hope.

"Mr. Wright, I understand this is hard, but Evan is gone. He won't find peace if you allow this to continue!"

"Exactly, Mr. Wright, even Derek couldn't help Evan. She's just trying to exploit your grief for attention. You shouldn't let her fool you!"

"What could someone her age possibly know about acupuncture? This has to be a joke!"
