L finally understood why Allison had asked him for money. It turned out that Kailey was sick and needed surgery. Having experienced the despair of Nora’s illness and the fickleness of human rtionships, L naturally extended a helping hand to Allison once again.
At this point, Allison was a little lost. Although she felt embarrassed, she didn’t refuse L this time.
In the car, L asked about Kailey’s illness and her specific situation. After hesitating for a moment, Allison told him everything.
“Don’t worry, I can cure Auntie’s illness! Don’t be too anxious,” said L after listening.
Allison looked at L unexpectedly but didn’t hold much hope in her heart. How could L cure illnesses? She had never heard of it before and thought he was just trying tofort her.
L drove quickly to a mid-rangemunity with directions from Allison. Before Kailey got sick, Allison’s family conditions were pretty good – her father worked in a government agency while her mother sold clothes at the market on her own. However, since Kailey got sick and Nathan started gambling two years ago and hung out with bad people all day long; their family fell into dire straits!
Allison lived on the second floor of an apartment building where they found everyone sitting around looking gloomy when they entered – Her father sat on the sofa smoking while Nathan stood there silently with an ugly expression on his face.
Only Kailey sat next to Keagan Singleton smiling as if persuading them about something but it was clear that smile was forced full of helplessness and sadness.
“Mom…” cried out Allison angrily as soon as she walked through the door choking back tears.
“Allison! You’re back?” Keagan asked.
“Sis, please talk some sense into Mom! We can’t let Mom die waiting like this even if we have to sell our house!” said Nathan in a low voice.
He looked like he was around twenty years old with dyed blonde hair and tattoos on his neck making him look like some kind of delinquent who did nothing productive all day long except cause trouble everywhere he went. But judging by his behavior now, he seemed quite emotional.
“What are you talking about selling our house? Where will we live then? Go away from here. You’re not helping!” replied Allison firmly.
“I’ve already raised enough money!”
Allison scolded her brother, clearly unhappy with hisck of responsibility. The next moment, she turned to her mother and urged her to go back to the hospital. “Tomorrow we’ll arrange for the surgery!”
At that moment, Kailey furrowed her brow and looked at L beside Allison before turning to Nora. “Allison, you mentioned borrowing money from your ssmate earlier? Is it this young man?”
Keagan and Nathan also looked towards L and Nora with a hint of scrutiny in their eyes.
“Yes, he’s my ssmate – L,” Allison nodded as she introduced him.
Kailey snorted coldly. “What’s your rtionship with this ssmate? He already has a child! Are you stupid?”
“That’s right! You have so many rich guys chasing after you but you won’t ept any of them! Why did you choose a man who already has a child?” Keagan asked impatiently.
“Sis, are you crazy? Even if it’s for Mom’s treatment, there is no need to find someone who already has a child! Aren’t those rich second generations better?” Nathan added coldly while staring at L disapprovingly. “You’re already a father; how shameless can you be? How did you trick my sister into this?”
Hearing these words made L frown while Nora looked helpless.
“You guys don’t know what you’re talking about!” Allison stomped her foot in frustration. “L and I are just ordinary ssmates!”
“What kind of ordinary ssmates? He thinks that because he likes how pretty you look that he can seduce you or deceive you all,” Kailey said angrily.
In Kailey’s mind, her daughter could marry someone much better than this man who was entangled with a child from another woman. If they got involved now and it spread outwards; their reputation would be ruined forever.
The next second Kailey suddenly turned red-faced as she clutched onto the left side of chest area tightly while showing signs of pain on face which was quite scary-looking.
“What happened mom?!”
“Mom!!”
“Mom!!”
Keagan and Allison were shocked by what they saw happening before them.
L’s face turned cold as he stepped forward and said, “Move aside!”
“What are you doing?” Nathan angrily questioned.
“I’m saving your mother! If you don’t want her to die, move aside!” L replied in a cold tone.
Without hesitation, he pushed Keagan and Nathan away and took out a silver needle from his pocket. He inserted it into the acupoint on Kailey’s wrist.
“Your ssmate knows how to cure diseases?” Nathan asked incredulously when he saw what was happening. “Does he have a medical license? If anything happens to mom because of him, I won’t let him off the hook!”
Keagan also shouted angrily at L. “What kind of nonsense is this? You’re not even qualified to practice medicine!”
Allison shook her head uncertainly. “I… I don’t know either. But since L has taken action, maybe we should let him try…”
She looked at L with some confusion and uncertainty.
Allison couldn’t believe that L had actually offered to treat her mother after iming that he could cure her on the way here. Could it be true? She felt both uneasy and hopeful about the situation.
“Try what?” Keagan yelled impatiently at Allison before turning his attention back to calling an ambnce for Kailey.
But just then, something unexpected happened: As soon as L inserted the needle into Kailey’s wrist and infused dragon energy through acupuncture therapy, she immediately rxed and stopped showing any signs of pain or difort on her face.
“It feels sofortable…” Kailey couldn’t help but exim with relief.
Seeing this scene unfold before them all left everyone stunned: Keagan paused mid-call; Allison looked surprised; Nathan was shocked too.
“How do you feel now mom?” Nathan asked tentatively.
“I feel much better now,” replied Kailey excitedly. “My heart doesn’t hurt anymore! It feels stronger than ever.”
Although others were unsure about what had just happened before their eyes, they knew one thing for sure – whatever treatment method that young man used seemed effective!
Kailey looked up at L in disbelief asking him curiously, “Young man…do you really know how to heal people?”
L chuckled confidently, “Not only do I know how but I am an expert especially when ites down heart-rted diseases.”
Nathan sneered sarcastically upon hearing this im from someone who appeared quite young, “An expert huh? You are really good at boasting!”
“Hmph! You can’t talk about my dad like that! My dad is the best!” Nora said angrily, looking up with her small face.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
