Chapter 189


    With Jeffred taking no action and only continued to sit indifferently in his seat, the surrounding doctors,


    as well as the crowd, were on the verge of a nervous breakdown.“Hurry up and save that man! Will Hill


    Crest Hospital choose to let that man die?”“This is murder! Murder, I say! Quick, call the police! Catch


    that man! That man is a murderer!”As Alice and Cecilia listened to the surrounding mor, their faces


    grew as pale as a sheet. Cecilia—who was trembling slightly at this point—asked, “What should we do


    now…? Did Kingsley really kill that man…?”“No! He’s not that irresponsible!” replied Alice. Although


    Alice was secretly panicking herself, she still chose to put her trust in Kingsley. Turning her gaze to


    n beside her, Alice asked with her voice trembling, “Professor Gershwin, since you’re the expert


    here, what do you think is happening to the patient? Why did he start convulsing and vomiting


    blood?”“H-His meridians seem to have been severed…” As soon as he said that, he immediately shook


    his head and denied his own statement. “B-But, that can’t be… If so… that man should be dead by


    now… I’m sure it’s just my eyes ying tricks on me… Yeah, that has to be it…”Just like n, ke


    was full of doubt as well. Based on his experience, he could clearly see that Kingsley did indeed sever


    the patient’s meridians. However, he couldn’t understand the reason for Kingsley’s action. To add to


    that, he couldn’t figure out how Joshua could still scream at the top of his lungs even after having his


    meridians severed. Pinching himself nonstop on his thighs, and as if he was in a meltdown, he


    muttered, “No, that can’t be right. That doesn’t make any sense…”The other white-haired experts


    present were utterly confused at this point as well as they witnessed the shocking scene unfolding


    before them. What they had witnessed had them doubt everything that they had studied all their


    lives.“Hahahaha… It must be pathetic to be a citizen of a trashy country like Qustia!” Hewlett scoffed


    loudly, “You can’t even guarantee the very basic human right to life! That makes you Qustians no better


    than ves! In Mittera, you can even smell the sweet scent of freedom in our air!”Saying that, Hewlett


    stood up and shouted to the reporters standing at the back of the crowd, “Come! Get this filthy moment


    on film! Let the whole world see just how the Empire of Qustia—”However, it was midway through his


    sentence that he realized something was not right—he realized Joshua’s screams of agony had


    stopped deafening their ears. Everyone held their breath instantly. Whether it was the ones who were


    angry, the ones who were ridiculing others, or the ones who were doubtful, everyone was


    dumbfounded at what they were witnessing. Even the reporters—who were taking photos of the


    situation—had stopped what they were doing, and stood there dumbfounded as though their souls had


    left their bodies.Feeling unease creeping inside him, Hewlett turned his head slowly to find Joshua—


    who was wiping the sweat off his own forehead—sitting up while holding onto the surgical bed. One


    could tell that Joshua was feeling excited based on how much he was trembling.Kingsley—who was


    standing beside Joshua—smiled faintly before he said in a gentle manner, “We’ll be done after thisst


    needle.” With the needle between his two fingers, he flicked it into the acupoints located at Joshua’s


    lumbar spine.“Buzz—”Sharp buzzing sounds flooded the room the moment Kingsley inserted that


    needle, which caused everyone present pain in their ears, as they felt as though the blood inside them


    were resonating with the sharp buzzing sound.When the buzzing had died down, the needle came


    flying out of Joshua’s waist. Seeing that, Kingsley immediately caught the needle with his two fingers


    and kept it back in his ivory box. Thud! With the ivory box snapped close, all nine gold needles were


    returned to their ce.Following that, the crowd had their pupils shrunk to the size of a pin as they


    watched in shock over how Joshua moved his leg ever so slowly onto the ground. Each and every one


    of them held their breath and were afraid to even blink, fixing their eyes on Joshua as they watched


    what he would do next.In all honesty, one could easily infer what would happen next. After all, a man


    who had been paralyzed for more than ten years could now move his own two legs on his own. That


    was evidence enough as an indication of what was toe. However, not one person among the


    crowd spoke up; they merely waited. All of them wanted to feast their eyes on the miracle unfolding


    before them.With the faint sound Joshua made when his legs stepped onto the smooth marble floor,


    the auditorium turned dead silent. It was merely a soft step, but one that seemingly weighed a ton,


    landing squarely on the crowd’s hearts.Seconds passed before Joshua finally took his first step and


    stood firmly in the middle of Sunshine Auditorium. The moment he did, the crowd erupted in shock.


    Everyone waved their arms wildly with a mixture of excitement and shock on their


    faces.“Incredible!”“This is unbelievable!”“A patient who had been paralyzed for more than ten yearsContent held by N?velDrama.Org.


    actually stood on his own!”Crash!Looking at Joshua standing firmly, Matt became weak in his knees


    and fell to the ground along with his chair.
