Chapter 44
The Ex-Husband's Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 44
The Six Points of Fate technique required him to apply internal energy to the pressure points, and he nearly collapsed from exhaustion when treating Elder Young because he had no internal energy. With his refinement level reaching the first level of internal energy refinement, his outlook was bound to be better, thus enabling him to use the Six Points of Fate with more proficiency. Even so, his refinement level was still very low. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his entire body was overcome with fatigue as he performed the pressure point treatment. At that moment, footsteps were heard approaching them.
In came a young 27 or 28-year-old male doctor, who was dressed in a white coat. A young female nurse followed him in as well and they both did their routine rounds in the room. The sight of Leon's hands on Serena's body gave the
young male doctor a huge fright. He immediately hurried over and asked, "What's going on, Lily? And what's that man doing?!"
"Let me explain, Bowden. Mister Wolf here is a colleague from my company. He has a bit of medical knowledge, so
he's giving my mom some pressure point treatment..." Lily explained succinctly.
The young male doctor's name was Bowden Suffield. He was Serena's attending doctor and a neighbor of Lily's.
When Serena fell ill, Lily immediately went to Bowden for help, and it was with his assistance that Serena was successfully admitted to the hospital for treatment.
"He's your colleague? This is ridiculous! How could he just randomly treat Aunt Serena when he's not even a doctor!"
Bowden was furious and reached out to pull Leon's hands off Serena's body, "If you don't take your hands off her right now, I'll—”
"Don't touch me! I can't take my hands off her on a whim while she's receiving treatment!" Leon managed to stop Bowden from touching him by adjusting his body posture and shielding himself.
"Move over! Aunt Serena is suffering a spinal cord injury. She's almost fully healed now after receiving treatment for a while, but your indiscriminate methods might cause her illness to worsen, which may lead to full-body paralysis! Can you afford to bear the consequences then?"
Bowden was furious. He tried his best to yank Leon's hand away but to no avail.
"What?! Are the consequences that serious, Bowden?!"
Lily and Jared were surprised, especially Jared since he never believed in Leon's medical skills from the start. He
was even more worried than before after learning that random treatments might cause paralysis.
"Of course! Don't just stand there! Help me get his hands off Aunt Serena and drag him away!" Bowden shouted angrily.
Bowden's remark seemed to have jolted Jared awake from a dream. Since Bowden was his neighbor and a professional doctor, it stood to reason that Jared would believe Bowden even more. As a result, he reached out and immediately tried to pull Leon's hands away.
"I told you not to touch me!" A startled Leon
immediately slapped Jared's hand away.
Jared was furious and wanted to step up his efforts, but Lily pulled his arm away all of a sudden.
"Don't be impulsive, Jared! Let him do his thing and we'll see the result once he's done," Lily pleaded hesitantly. Even though she trusted the truth of Bowden's
statement, her trust for Leon was so much more because
of how he saved her.
"Are you crazy?! He's lying! How can you still believe him! "Jared flew into a rage and glared at Leon. "You there, I'm going to make you pay if anything happens to my mother!" "Relax. Your mother will be just fine. She's-" Leon assured with confidence.
However, something unexpected happened before he could finish speaking.
"Bleagh, blaargh..."
Serena's cheeks became abnormally red, and she suddenly leaned to one side of the bed to vomit several mouthfuls of purplish-black blood. It was truly a shocking sight.
"Mom! What happened to you...
Lily and Jared turned pale with fright and rushed up to the bed.
"This is bad! This is bad! This is why you don't give patients quack treatment!"
