Chapter 158


    n''s fortey within internal medicine, so he didn''t know much about acupuncture. As he looked at


    the points where the needles were inserted, he felt that Hera had pinpointed every needle correctly.


    Hence, he began to wonder about Hera''s identity.


    "Ouch! It hurts so much! She woke me up, you say? Well, she certainly did that by stabbing me!"


    Mildred shoved Lilith away before plucking a needle out of her body.


    Hera didn''t say anything, nor did she stop Mildred.

    "Oh, my God! Dr. Pittson, please give me a check-up right now! I feel so dizzy, and my heart


    palpitations are above the charts! Is that brat nning to kill me with her needles?" Mildred moaned


    in pain.


    When n heard Mildred''sments, all spections about Hera''s medical skills vanished


    immediately.


    To him, saving Mildred''s life took priority.


    He yanked his wrist from Hera''s grip forcefully before removing all of the needles from Mildred''s


    body. In fact, he worked so fast that Lilith only managed to regain her senses a whileter. By then,


    it was already toote for her to stop the doctor.


    "Hera, will your grandma be alright?" Lilith gazed at Hera worriedly.


    Hera hated it the most whenever her patients refused to cooperate with the treatment process. She


    put her silver needles away before snapping coldly, "She''s doomed. You''d better start making


    arrangements for her funeral soon."


    "Huh?" Lilith was so frightened that her hands began trembling. "Is… Is she really doomed?"


    Hera fell silent at the question.


    She was just cracking a joke. Why did Lilith take her seriously?


    Then again, it was true that Mildred wouldn''t be able to live for long if things were to go on like this.


    "She''ll be a goner sooner orter," Hera exined.


    "Just listen to that brat, Dr. Pittson! She''s clearly here to murder me! That''s murder, you know! Hurry


    up and perform a full body check-up on me! I need you to check whether or not she''s poisoned me!"


    n was worried that Mildred''s life was in danger, so he and the head nurse quickly moved Mildred


    from the hospital bed to a nearby wheelchair. Then, they wheeled her to another room so that they


    could perform aplete body check-up on her.


    Before they left, n instructed the security guards to watch Hera.


    "Don''t let her leave! If anything happens to the patient, she''ll have to be held responsible!"


    After that, he said to Lilith, "You''re the patient''s family member, so you muste along as well!"


    Hera fell silent at n''s words.


    Sometimeter, the check-up''s results were out. Mildred was doing fine, and her data showed that


    her condition had significantly improvedpared to yesterday''s check-up results.


    It wasmon for elderly people to suffer from clogged arteries. Yet, Mildred''s severely clogged


    artery waspletely unblocked.


    n and the rest of the medical team had worked hard over the past two months, but the best they


    could do was manage to unblock one-third of Mildred''s clogged artery. To think that it was


    completely unclogged today…


    That was when n suddenly recalled the acupuncture session.


    Did Hera really know how to treat patients with acupuncture? Was she the one who unclogged


    Mildred''s artery?


    But she looked like a minor!


    "Mom, do you feel better now? Are you still unwell anywhere?"


    Lilith heaved a sigh of relief after hearing n''s words. She asked Mildred that question as she


    wheeled thetter back to the ward.


    Mildred denied it immediately. "Nope! I still feel dizzy! My heart palpitations are still here! In fact, I


    feel very sick and lethargic!"


    "But Mrs. Everett Senior, all the data on your check-up results shows that you''re in a better


    condition than yesterday. Your artery is already unclogged, after all," n chimed in.


    "That''s impossible! Are you even a skilled doctor? Don''t tell me that country bumpkin bribed you!


    The truth is, you want me dead as well, right?"


    Mildred mmed a hand onto the arm of her wheelchair and forcefully applied the brakes to it. Now,


    she refused to budge an inch.


    "I think you and that brat are ganging up on me! I don''t want you as my primary doctor anymore!"


    Then, Mildred barked an order at Lilith. "Go to the top floor and bring Dr. Shadow here! I want her to


    treat my illness!"


    Mildred had heard from the other patients that Lennon received his treatment in this hospital as


    well. Dr. Shadow would alwayse over to treat him at regr intervals. Today was the day of his


    follow-up treatment session.


    Since Dr. Shadow had saved an impoverished young man who was severely ill without requesting


    any payment from him, Mildred was confident that the mysterious doctor would treat her too.


    Lilith looked troubled. How was it possible for her to ask Dr. Shadow for help?


    It was clear that Mildred was trying to make things difficult for her.


    Also, Lilith brought Hera to the ward today because she wanted her to treat Mildred. If she were to


    change doctors suddenly, wouldn''t that mean she didn''t have faith in Hera''s medical skills?
