Chapter: 863

"Alright then, you’ll be handsomely rewarded if you can heal my wife," George told him earnestly.

"Mr. Xenos, are you really going to let him treat her?" Dr. Alden asked with furrowed brows.

"Mrs. Xenos is not in a good condition right now. What if anything happens to her?"

"It can’t go any worse than it already is." George shook his head. What difference would it make whether his wife remained in a coma for the rest of her life or if she were to be dead?

"But-" Dr. Alden wanted to continue but was promptly cut off by George.

"Please go ahead, young man."

Dustin nodded and walked over to Mrs. Xenos‘ bedside before reaching out to check her vitals. A short while later, he told them, "Mrs. Xenos is suffering from severe intracranial hemorrhage which is putting pressure on her nerves. If we don’t get that sorted out immediately, she might end up in a permanently vegetative state."

Everyone was shocked when they heard what he had to say. Even Dr. Alden, who had doubted his abilities just a while ago, looked astonished. Dustin had simply done a quick check on Mrs. Xenos‘ vitals and was able to tell them exactly what was wrong with her. Was he really that capable? "Can you heal her, young man?" George was instantly enlivened as he saw a spark of hope. He hadn’t held out much hope initially, but judging from what Dustin had just said, he could tell that Dustin really knew what he was doing.

"It wouldn’t be difficult. All that needs to be done is to drain out the blood and see that she takes her medications on time," Dustin said.

"Draining intracranial blood is no easy feat, young man. Besides, with Mrs. Xenos‘ condition, surgery is not an option," Dr. Alden reminded Dustin. Ultimately, he still refused to believe that Dustin was better than him.

"Who said anything about surgery? This can easily be done with needling," Dustin said matter–of- factly.

"Needling? Are you kidding me?" Dr. Alden frowned. There was a life on the line. This wasn’t a simple task!

"You don’t believe me? Let’s try and see, shall we?" Dustin couldn’t be bothered to explain any further.

Without saying much more, he took out some silver needles and inserted them into Mrs. Xenos‘ pressure points. One right on top of the head, one near the front hairline, one by each ear, one above each eye, and finally, one on each side of her nape. After inserting all the needles, Dustin channeled energy from within him and directed it toward the needles. The needles vibrated and gave out a soft buzzing sound. Then, wisps of true energy traveled along the silver needles into Mrs. Xenos‘ pressure points.

A brief while later, two streams of black blood trickled out of her nose. The blood flowed out in steady streams until it gradually turned into fresh blood, which was crimson red before it slowly stopped.

"She’ll be fine now." In one swift motion, Dustin extracted all the needles and kept them neatly in his pocket.

"That’s all? You-" Before Dr. Alden could complete his sentence, Mrs. Xenos groaned softly, and her eyes fluttered open.

"S–she’s awake? Everyone was amazed to see that Mrs. Xenos had come around, and they stared at her wide–eyed with disbelief. Nobody had ever thought that this young man would be able to cure Mrs. Xenos of something that even Dr. Alden found impossible. And he managed to do so with just several needles! The entire process had been nothing special and was just plain old needling techniques, but it was exactly because of how simple everything had been that they found it shocking.

"H–how is this possible?’ Dr. Alden was completely blown away by what he just witnessed. That was cerebral congestion, and she had been diagnosed as a vegetative patient, for goodness sake! It was such a complicated condition, and he managed to cure her with just several needles? He must be joking!

‘She’s awake! She’s awake! Mom’s awake!" It took Ruby a while to register that her mother was finally awake, but when she snapped back to her senses, she jumped with joy. She had been utterly devastated when she got to know that her mother was in a vegetative state. It was a miracle that she could come around so soon!

"Honey, how are you feeling?" George forced himself to calm down and quickly went up to check on his wife.

"I feel a bit woozy, but apart from that, I’m fine. What’s wrong?" Mrs. Xenos was confused, as she only remembered what happened before she passed out.
