Chapter 34 Needle Under the Needle
Everyone watched eagerly as Clifford worked to revive Scarlet. Clifford confidently inserted a silver needle into Scarlet’s temple, followed by over ten other acupressure points on her face and forehead.
“Alright!” Clifford wiped his sweat and calmly declared that he was confident in the treatment.
Suddenly, Scarlet made some soft noises from her throat. “Miss Harris is waking up!” Clifford exclaimed with a smile.
The people present were delighted to see this progress. “Great! Dr. Bailey, you truly deserve the title of ‘divine physician’. I will definitely repay you generously,” Zak said gratefully, his face full of relief.
However, his words were cut short by what happened next – a scene that left Zak’s face twisted in horror and shock!
“Uh! Uh…”
Scarlet’s throat still kept making sounds, but the more they listened, the more abnormal it sounded.
It seemed to be filled with intense pain and struggle, as if a scream was stuck in the throat but cannot be released.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Immediately after that, Scarlet lay there, convulsing violently all over her body, as if she had been electrocuted.
It was like the premonition of corpse transformation in some movies.
Finally, her entire body stiffened abruptly, and she lay there once again, motionless and completely silent.
This time she was not only unconscious, but also her vital signs were rapidly deteriorating!
This sudden and dramatic change had left everyone stunned!
“Scarlet! Scarlet, what’s wrong?” Zak was so scared that his face turned pale and he shouted in trembling voice.
He only felt like he’d fallen directly from heaven into hell.
The next second, he grabbed Clifford’s collar and asked fiercely, “What did you do to my daughter? What happened to her?”
“How… how could this happen? It shouldn’t be like this. It was supposed to have been cured! Why? Why did it turn out like this?” Clifford was also scared out of his wits and quickly checked Scarlet’s pulse. His whole body went numb with shock.
“You incompetent doctor! If my daughter suffers any harm, even if I have to discard my military uniform and face a military tribunal, I will kill you!” Zak angrily raised his head and roared.
Just at this moment, a figure flashed over and directly pushed Clifford to the side.
“I’ll do it.”
Upon seeing the person who came, Clifford was momentarily stunned and said, “It’s you… you…”
Pushed aside by the young man, he wanted to scold him, but suddenly remembered Lachlan’s earlier reminder.
Just now Lachlan said that if a few more needles were inserted, Scarlet would be in danger of losing her life.
Clifford sneered at this and did not approve of it.
However, now…
“Brat, don’t touch my daughter!” Zak shouted angrily and loudly.
“If I don’t touch her, she’s about to die! We wouldn’t have had time to rush her to the hospital for emergency treatment. Are you sure you don’t want me to intervene?” Lachlan asked expressionlessly.
“You… ” Zak naturally had no trust in this young man, but upon hearing these words, he hesitated.
He was really afraid that his daughter cannot be saved!
“Can you save Scarlet?” Zak asked in a low voice.
“Of course!” Lachlan nodded firmly.
“Mr. Harris, don’t listen to his nonsense. Hurry and take her to the hospital. Scarlet may still be able to be saved!”
“If you let him handle it, Scarlet will be completely finished!” At this moment, Conor’s eyes flickered a few times and he eagerly urged.
Lachlan glanced at the person and said to Zak, “Mr. Harris, your daughter’s pulse is already weak. You saw what happened earlier.”
“Are you choosing to trust me, or wasting life-saving time by taking her to the hospital?”
“Fine, treat her! If you can really save my daughter, I’ll personally bow down and apologize to you. But if you can’t, I’ll kill you and this incompetent doctor together!” Zak stared at Lachlan for a few seconds, then finally gritted his teeth and said.
He exuded a strong aura of iron and blood all over his body. As someone who had commanded military forces and fought on the battlefield, no one would doubt the authenticity of his words.
Lachlan chuckled and appeared extremely calm, “Actually, Dr. Bailey can’t be considered a quack doctor! His treatment method is correct, of course, provided that no one has tampered with your daughter’s body!”
“What do you mean?” Zak’s face turned cold and he asked.
“That’s something you’ll have to ask him!” Lachlan pointed at Conor.
As soon as the words fell, Zak paused for a moment and looked at Conor with some suspicion and inquiry.
Conor’s face suddenly changed upon hearing this. With a gloomy expression he said, “Brat, what do you mean? Do you think you can’t cure Scarlet and are trying to shift the blame onto me in advance? It’s despicable!”
“Who said I can’t cure it?” Lachlan snorted with contempt.
He first removed the silver needle that had been inserted by Clifford, then he slapped his palm on the acupoints on Scarlet’s head. Next, a hair-raising scene appeared!
Only Scarlet’s temples, forehead and other acupoints where Clifford had previously applied acupuncture, were now covered with thin needles that looked like strands of hair.
These needles are extremely thin, even modern medical equipment cannot detect them!
As Lachlan forced these fine needles out with his dragon energy, Scarlet suddenly let out a soft hum, her eyelids twitched, indicating signs of awakening.
Seeing this scene, Zak, Mason, Clifford and others couldn’t help but shrink their pupils!
Who would have thought that there were still needles under the needles?
Even these hair-thin needles had been cruelly driven deep into Scarlet’s body.
“Damn it! Who could be so vicious to harm my daughter like this?” Zak’s strong body trembled as he growled with red eyes.
The anger in his heart was palpable.
“Grab him and question him, maybe we can get something out of him,” Lachlan pointed at Conor.
As he said this, Zak, with his intense gaze, directed his attention towards the young man.
Lachlan removed the thin needles from Scarlet’s body, forcing Zak to take every word seriously.
Conor, upon hearing this, displayed a mixture of anger and grievance. He looked indignant and said, “Mr. Harris, how could it be me? Why would I harm Scarlet? These past few days, I’ve been taking care of her tirelessly!”
Zak’s expression shifted slightly upon hearing Conor’s words. It was true that Conor had been caring for his daughter day and night, something he himself couldn’t have done. He felt genuinely touched.
He began to question whether he should suspect a junior who had shown such deep commitment because of a stranger.
“You’ve been sticking close to her because you wanted to ensure that Scarlet wouldn’t wake up,” Lachlan coldly chuckled and then turned to Zak, saying, “Mr. Harris, just make him take off his pants! A normal Priocian wouldn’t wear the kind of underwear that looks like a diaper, which only people from Skiola wear.”
“What?”
Hearing this, Eduard’s eyes locked onto Conor like a sharp blade.
