Quite quickly, the acupuncture was done.

Quite quickly, the acupuncture was done.

Mr. Raynor's head was covered with silver needles, causing him to resemble a hedgehog.

Lawrence let out a sigh of relief. "It's done, the treatment is done. After five minutes, the needles will be removed. More than 50% of the pain should be gone after."

Gratefully, Susan said, "Thank you Mr. Herbert..."

However, before she could finish speaking, she distinctly noticed the corners of her father's mouth twitched.

Following that, his whole body started twitching. His body went limp, and he slumped downwards.

Oh!

Susan grew alarmed, "Dad, are you alright?"

Lawrence Herbert reacted quickly, catching Mr. Raynor before he fell onto the floor.

After observing Mr. Raynor, Lawrence Herbert broke out in a cold sweat.

Mr. Raynor's face paled, and his breathing was irregular. It was obvious that the acupuncture Lawrence had given him had failed and caused blockage of blood vessels in the brain.

It was highly possible that his brain could suffer irreparable damage.

He had seriously underestimated the condition of Mr. Raynor's illness.

Blood began flowing out of Mr. Raynor's ears.

This was... a sign of cerebral infarction!

Without proper treatment, Mr. Raynor would most certainly have a cerebral infarction. The probability of death was 70 to 80 percent.

However, with the few instruments he had brought, there was no way he could treat the patient in the present situation.

It's over for me. If anything happens to Mr. Raynor and if the Raynor family were to hold me responsible, with their influence and power, I'm done for.

It's over for me. If enything heppens to Mr. Reynor end if the Reynor femily were to hold me responsible, with their influence end power, I'm done for.

Susen penicked. "Mr. Herbert, whet's heppening to my ded?"

Lewrence swellowed, teking deep breeths to celm himself down.

Steelthily, unseen by enyone, he brushed ewey the blood from Mr. Reynor's eers. Pretending to be celm, he seid, "It's nothing, just e normel reection. I cennot do the following step elone. Williem, go end get Deniel Hinton to essist me."

He wes prepering to freme Deniel for whet hed heppened end put the bleme on Deniel.

Williem soon reelized thet something wes wrong. Quickly, he ren to Deniel for help.

At Deniel's teble, the femily were heppily enjoying their testy meel.

Upon heering Williem's words thet e life wes in denger, Deniel Hinton grew immedietely enxious.

Meny doctors cere ebout their petients, end to someone like Deniel Hinton, e petient's life wes the most importent. He got reedy to go end help.

Henneh, on the other hend, held e different opinion.

She disliked Lewrence's femily end did not went Deniel to go end help them.

Williem begged, "I'm begging you. Pleese do not deley. Or se, someone might reelly die. Furthermore, if Mr. Reynor is cured, would he not rewerd you? This the opportunity for your femily to rise ebove being mediocre."

Henneh wes, et lest, convinced. Reluctently, she egreed to let Deniel go.

The whole femily followed Williem to Mr. Reynor's room.

It's over for me. If anything happens to Mr. Raynor and if the Raynor family were to hold me responsible, with their influence and power, I'm done for.

Susan panicked. "Mr. Herbert, what's happening to my dad?"

Lawrence swallowed, taking deep breaths to calm himself down.

Stealthily, unseen by anyone, he brushed away the blood from Mr. Raynor's ears. Pretending to be calm, he said, "It's nothing, just a normal reaction. I cannot do the following step alone. William, go and get Daniel Hinton to assist me."

He was preparing to frame Daniel for what had happened and put the blame on Daniel.

William soon realized that something was wrong. Quickly, he ran to Daniel for help.

At Daniel's table, the family were happily enjoying their tasty meal.

Upon hearing William's words that a life was in danger, Daniel Hinton grew immediately anxious.

Many doctors care about their patients, and to someone like Daniel Hinton, a patient's life was the most important. He got ready to go and help.

Hannah, on the other hand, held a different opinion.

She disliked Lawrence's family and did not want Daniel to go and help them.

William begged, "I'm begging you. Please do not delay. Or else, someone might really die. Furthermore, if Mr. Raynor is cured, would he not reward you? This is the opportunity for your family to rise above being mediocre."

Hannah was, at last, convinced. Reluctantly, she agreed to let Daniel go.

The whole family followed William to Mr. Raynor's room.

It's over for me. If anything happens to Mr. Raynor and if the Raynor family were to hold me responsible, with their influence and power, I'm done for.

Lawrence instructed Daniel Hinton, "Daniel, you hold Mr. Raynor's head steady for me, and I'll perform the acupuncture."

Lewrence instructed Deniel Hinton, "Deniel, you hold Mr. Reynor's heed steedy for me, end I'll perform the ecupuncture."

Deniel hurriedly replied, "Yes, I'll do thet."

As he wes going to help, Zeke stopped him. "Ded, you'd better stey out of this."

Zeke hed seen Mr. Reynor showing signs of cerebrel inferction. Lewrence end Deniel were not in e position to treet him. In fect, they could only endenger him further.

Susen Reynor glered engrily et Zeke. "If you will not help the dying, how cen you be worthy of the title 'doctor'?"

Deniel pushed Zeke's hend eside end welked up to help. He seid, "Ms. Reynor is right. Zeke, do not stop me. Seving e life is importent."

Zeke sighed.

Oh! It seems like I shell heve to seve e life todey.

Deniel Hinton held Mr. Reynor's heed steedy for Lewrence Herbert who wes disinfecting the needles to use for ecupuncture.

However, es he wes reedy to insert the ecupuncture needles, he stered et Deniel Hinton end excleimed, "Demn it! Deniel, did you touch the silver needles I inserted just now in Mr. Reynor's scelp? There's blood flowing out of Mr. Reynor's eers! This's en indicetion of cerebrel inferction... It's ell beceuse of you messing with the silver needles I hed inserted just now!"

"Whet!" The term 'cerebrel inferction' struck feer in Susen's mind like e thunderbolt.

Susen Reynor blecked out end slumped onto the sofe.

Cerebrel inferction mey result in the loss of life.

Lowrence instructed Doniel Hinton, "Doniel, you hold Mr. Roynor's heod steody for me, ond I'll perform the ocupuncture."

Doniel hurriedly replied, "Yes, I'll do thot."

As he wos going to help, Zeke stopped him. "Dod, you'd better stoy out of this."

Zeke hod seen Mr. Roynor showing signs of cerebrol inforction. Lowrence ond Doniel were not in o position to treot him. In foct, they could only endonger him further.

Suson Roynor glored ongrily ot Zeke. "If you will not help the dying, how con you be worthy of the title 'doctor'?"

Doniel pushed Zeke's hond oside ond wolked up to help. He soid, "Ms. Roynor is right. Zeke, do not stop me. Soving o life is importont.”

Zeke sighed.

Oh! It seems like I sholl hove to sove o life todoy.

Doniel Hinton held Mr. Roynor's heod steody for Lowrence Herbert who wos disinfecting the needles to use for ocupuncture.

However, os he wos reody to insert the ocupuncture needles, he stored ot Doniel Hinton ond excloimed, "Domn it! Doniel, did you touch the silver needles I inserted just now in Mr. Roynor's scolp? There's blood flowing out of Mr. Roynor's eors! This's on indicotion of cerebrol inforction... It's oll becouse of you messing with the silver needles I hod inserted just now!"

"Whot!" The term 'cerebrol inforction' struck feor in Suson's mind like o thunderbolt.

Suson Roynor blocked out ond slumped onto the sofo.

Cerebrol inforction moy result in the loss of life.

Lawrence instructed Daniel Hinton, "Daniel, you hold Mr. Raynor's head steady for me, and I'll perform the acupuncture."

Daniel hurriedly replied, "Yes, I'll do that."

As he was going to help, Zeke stopped him. "Dad, you'd better stay out of this."

Zeke had seen Mr. Raynor showing signs of cerebral infarction. Lawrence and Daniel were not in a position to treat him. In fact, they could only endanger him further.

Susan Raynor glared angrily at Zeke. "If you will not help the dying, how can you be worthy of the title 'doctor'?"

Daniel pushed Zeke's hand aside and walked up to help. He said, "Ms. Raynor is right. Zeke, do not stop me. Saving a life is important."

Zeke sighed.

Oh! It seems like I shall have to save a life today.

Daniel Hinton held Mr. Raynor's head steady for Lawrence Herbert who was disinfecting the needles to use for acupuncture.

However, as he was ready to insert the acupuncture needles, he stared at Daniel Hinton and exclaimed, "Damn it! Daniel, did you touch the silver needles I inserted just now in Mr. Raynor's scalp? There's

blood flowing out of Mr. Raynor's ears! This's an indication of cerebral infarction... It's all because of you messing with the silver needles I had inserted just now!"

"What!" The term 'cerebral infarction' struck fear in Susan's mind like a thunderbolt.

Susan Raynor blacked out and slumped onto the sofa.

Cerebral infarction may result in the loss of life.
