Miranda could not stop shuddering as she sprawled out on the table.

Clarence did not seem to notice anything as he quietly ate his steak.

He did not comfort Miranda either when she finished crying.

“I’m done. I’m leaving now,” Clarence said as he slowly stood up.

As he turned around, Miranda stood up suddenly and grabbed his hand. She fell right into his arms.

Miranda had soft skin, and her scent was refreshing.

It was the first time Clarence had ever held Miranda since their marriage began three years ago!

“Can… can we not get a divorce?” Miranda asked in a pleading tone.

Clarence’s heart softened inexplicably. He nearly agreed to Miranda’s plea.

Clarence could admit that he was still in love with Miranda. However… he could not accept the fact that his wife was screwing around with another man!

Blood rushed to Clarence’s head as he remembered what he had seen yesterday.

He was just about to voice his refusal.

“Ah! Grandpa! Grandpa, what’s wrong?

“Help! Someone help my grandfather!

“No! Ambulance, please help me call an ambulance!” A desperate scream rang out.

The customers at Love Sea restaurant were all stunned. Everyone looked towards the restaurant’s entrance.

An old man dressed in a Tang suit had collapsed on the ground just outside the glass doors. A girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, was kneeling beside the man, a helpless look on her face.

“What’s wrong?”

“What happened to that old man?”

“Ah! I have no idea. Maybe it was a heart attack or a stroke. He was fine just minutes before he collapsed without warning.”

“Let’s stay away from him so we don’t end up getting blackmailed!”

The crowd nearby all shook their heads and formed a circle a mile away to stand by and watch. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

“I’ll go look,” Clarence said as he gently pushed Miranda away.

Then, he walked out of the Love Sea restaurant and pushed through the crowd until he reached the man dressed in the Tang suit.

Clarence focused his energy and stared at the man, his vision traveling right through the man’s body.

Blood was pooling in the old man’s brain, and his arachnoid was torn. Those were both symptoms of a stroke.

The old man also had an artificial cardiac pacemaker installed in his heart.

That meant that not only was the man having a stroke, but he had cardiac problems as well!

It was a fifteen-minute trip from Love Sea Restaurant to the nearest hospital.

Looking at the old man’s situation, he might not be able to hang on for another five minutes, let alone fifteen.

“Make way, I can save him.”

Clarence wanted to save him, so he said the words decisively.

The young girl looked like she had found her savior. “Really? Big brother, I’ll give you ten million dollars if you can save my grandfather.”

The onlookers all gasped in surprise. Ten million dollars!

It seemed like the man dressed in the Tang suit was a rich man!

“Money isn’t an issue. Let’s save him first,” Clarence said as he shook his head.

Ever since he had read Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture and 720 Anatomy Acupoints, he took silver needles with him wherever he went.

The man had blood pooling in his brain now, which was the main reason behind his fainting.

If Clarence could drain the pooled blood in the man’s brain, he would no longer be in danger.

Clarence did not say anything else as he prepared to place silver needles on the man’s acupoints.

Miranda hurriedly reminded, “Don’t be rash, Clarence. This old man seems to be in critical condition.

“He could die if you make a mistake!”

“Why? Do you not believe in me?” Clarence turned around and gazed at Miranda.

Miranda was stunned. The trust between her and Clarence was already so shaky, which was why she decided to believe in him this time.

“I believe in you. Cure him if you can!” Miranda said as she nodded slightly.

“Alright.”

Clarence’s lips curled upwards slightly.

The two of them seemed to be relaxing their strained relations a little.

Clarence began placing needles on the man’s Shangxing, Shenting, and Touwei.

“Ugh…”

The old man’s body shuddered.

Fresh blood gushed out of his mouth and nose. It looked terrifying.

The onlookers hurriedly backed away, terrified that they would be dragged into the mess too if the old man died.

“Ah! Grandpa, what’s happening to you! What did you do to my grandfather?” The young girl looked scared out of her wits as she glared at Clarence in anger and terror.

Clarence explained, “Your grandfather had a stroke, so the blood pooling in his brain needs to be drained. I’m saving him.”

“Really?” The girl’s na?ve eyes widened.

“Of course.” Clarence nodded. “It’ll take another three minutes, tops. Everything should be fine once the excess blood leaves your grandfather’s brain.”

Just then, five black cars came to a stop by the side of the road.

A middle-aged couple dashed out from the first car, while a group of bodyguards dressed in black suits followed them. They had an overbearing aura.

“Dad!”

The middle-aged couple pushed through the crowd to get to the old man lying on the ground in his Tang suit.

When the couple saw fresh blood spurting out of the old man’s face, they were scared out of their wits too.

“Ginny, what happened to your grandfather?” The middle-aged man cried out.

“Dad! This man said Grandpa fainted because he had a stroke. He’s helping Grandpa drain the excess blood from his brain now,” Ginny hurriedly explained.

“Nonsense!”

The middle-aged man freaked out. “How can a charlatan like him know anything about medicine?”

When the man finished speaking, he rushed forward to forcefully extract the three silver needles from the old man’s head.

Clarence tried to stop him. “More than half of the excess blood in his brain has been drained. He’ll wake up in around a minute and 30 seconds.”

“Hmph!”

The middle-aged man huffed, “Young man, do you know who he is? I’m Jackson Hayes, and this is my father.

“I won’t let you get away with it, if anything happens to my dad.”

“Jackson Hayes?”

“That’s Jackson Hayes?”

“The head of the Hayes family, one of the three largest families in Mediterannean City? Doesn’t that make the old man…”

The expressions on the onlookers’ faces changed abruptly.
