Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Joshua had just regained consciousness, so he had to be given some rest. π§πππ²ππππ·oπ·ππ.πππ
Other than Helena and Ginny, who were taking care of him, the rest were asked to leave the room.
βMaster Howard, you really are a miracle doctor!
βI was blind to your greatness before, thank you so very much!β
Jackson apologized profusely while grasping Clarenceβs hand. He looked like he was looking at a loved one of his as he spoke to Clarence, βMaster Howard, from now on, you are the benefactor of the Hayes family. If you have anything to ask of us, please do not hesitate to do so.β
Boris stood off to the side with an ashen expression on his face. He looked awful.
Johnsonβs face contorted into a huge smile. βMr. Hayes, I was the one who brought him here.β
βJohnson Golding?β
βYou actually know who I am, Mr. Hayes?β Johnson was overjoyed.
βOf course, your company has quite the reputation. If youβre willing, youβre welcome to partner up with the Hayes Consortium anytime,β Jackson replied casually.
Johnson looked like he had just struck the lottery, βThank you, Mr. Hayes, thank you!β
Jeremy also wanted some glory. βDad, I did well this time around, right?β
βNot bad! Youβre worthy of a reward, so you can still get your allowance this month.β Jackson looked at his son briefly as he dismissed him.
Jeremy pouted and asked, βNothing else?β
βLittle brat! What other reward do you want for saving your own grandpa?β Jackson sounded a little angry.
βEhβ¦β Jeremy scratched his head, not knowing what else to say.
Suddenly...
Boris, who was still standing off to the side with a defeated look on his face, asked, βYoung man, how in the world did you do that?β
βI simply unclogged his blood vessels and let the blood from the brain drain out.
βWithout the blood clot pressing against his nerves, the patient will naturally regain consciousness,β Clarence explained casually.
βImpossible!β
Boris shook his head, βThe blood vessels were blocked, so it would be virtually impossible for the blood to flow. The blood vessels in the brain had burst too, so how did you make the blood flow out of the brain?β
βHuman anatomy is generally the same for all people. There are spaces and gaps in between the flesh, so how could the blood not flow in that situation?β Clarence fired a question of his own back at Boris.
Boris frowned, βWhy did you administer the silver needles, though?β
βThe needles open up the acupoints Shangxing and Shenting, unclogging the blood vessel!
βThe Touwei position is to prevent backflow.
βLastly, the Yangguan position is to stabilize his heart, so that the patientβs brain will not experience hypoxia, which can cause brain death!
βIf I guessed correctly, Old Master Hayes has a pacemaker in his heart, yes?β Clarence asked calmly.
Jackson was overwhelmed with respect for Clarence as he replied, βYes, yes, yes, my father had a pacemaker installed inside him five years ago.β
βImpossible! Even if the needles were administered at the positions that you mentioned, it would still be impossible for the blood to flow out of the brain on its own with just normal needle administration techniques.β Boris was still shaking his head, expressing his disbelief.
How could he have made the blood flow out of Old Master Hayesβ brain?
Boris would have had to perform brain surgery on Joshua if he had been left to use his own methods.
How could anyone get the blood clot in Joshuaβs brain to flow out by itself by just administering four needles?
βOf course it would be impossible if it was just some normal technique.
βHowever, what if it was the Thirteen Hellβs Gate Acupuncture?β Clarence asked.
βWhat?
The Thirteen Hellβs Gate Acupuncture!β
Borisβ pupils shrunk and his body shuddered as he stared at Clarence in disbelief.
Legend had it that the Thirteen Hellβs Gate Acupuncture could save any patient by just administering needles, with each needle having a stronger effect than the last.
Clarence used only four needles to cure Joshuaβs brain hemorrhage.
If legend was true, then if all thirteen needles were administered consecutively, even a person on the brink of death could be brought back to life. It was like saving someone from the clutches of death itself. Even if they were already standing in front of the gates of hell, they could still be saved.
That was where the Thirteen Hellβs Gate Acupuncture got its name!
Boris would never have expected that the technique Clarence had used was the legendary Thirteen Hellβs Gate Acupuncture.
βI see, I admit defeat!β Boris sighed deeply.
Without any more hesitation, Boris turned toward Clarence and was about to get down on his knees.
However, Clarence rushed forward to grab a hold of him and said, βMaster Lowe, I was just joking, but youβre actually getting down on your knees?β
Clarence knew that Boris was a household name, so even though he would gain some satisfaction with Boris kneeling before him, he would also face the offense of many people.
βYoung man, I like your personality.
βIβm really impressed and absolutely beaten!β Boris did not insist on kneeling once Clarence had stopped him.
Jackson looked at Clarence. A person who could gain Boris Loweβs respect was definitely not a person to be scoffed at.
βJeremy, bring Master Howard to the hotel and reward him well for his work today. Iβll have a look at your grandpaβs condition and join you two there once Iβm done,β Jackson commanded.
Jeremy was obedient as he replied, βDonβt worry, Dad. Iβll make sure that Master Howard is treated fantastically.β
Jackson looked at Boris and suggested, βMaster Lowe, why donβt you join them?β
Boris laughed with a bitter tone and waved his hand at the invitation. βForget it, Iβm too embarrassed to show myself. Iβll be going back to Beth City right away.β
This incident had been a huge blow to Boris, so how could be in the mood for a meal?
After he asked Clarence for his phone number, he gathered up his team and left the hospital.
Jeremy took Clarence and Johnson to the hotel.
On their way there, Jeremy was humble and well-mannered as he said, βMaster Howard, I think that weβre of similar ages. Youβre so amazing at what you do, so why donβt I call you Brother Howard from now on?
Honestly, calling you Master Howard sounds so weird to me!β
βBrother Howard?β Clarence was stunned.
Johnsonβs eyes lit up as he nudged Clarence, who was beside him.
Almost no one would even dare dream of becoming Jeremy Hayesβ brother!
Once associated with someone of Jeremyβs power and position, who in Mediterranean City would dare not give Clarence the time of day?
Furthermore, Clarence was now considered his big brother.
βAlright, you can call me Brother Howard.β Clarence nodded.
βHehe, very well then, Brother Howard!β
After an hourβs journey, Clarence, Jeremy, and Johnson reached the Sheraton Seaview Hotel.
Clarence had just stepped foot into the hotel. He could not believe his eyes as he spotted something across the hall.
Beside a window looking out to the sea, Miranda was sitting across from another man, chatting happily.
Clarence had a closer look and realized that the man was Mirandaβs first loveβSheldon Clark!
Clarenceβs expression suddenly turned dark.
Miranda had mentioned in her note that she was going to work, right?
Why was she here meeting up with Sheldon, then?
Had he been⦠lying to himself about Miranda this whole time?
