59: Chapter 59: The Family’s Needle Technique 59: Chapter 59: The Family’s Needle Technique The call of “Emily” left Emily Parker frozen on the spot.
Mrs.
Carter held on to Emily Parker’s hand tightly.
In fact, the mont Emily Parker walked in, Mrs.
Carter felt sothing familiar about her figure.
Won are often more sensitive than n.
Neither Evan Palr nor Carlos realized that Emily Parker was in disguise, but Mrs.
Carter was the first to sense it.
She harbored doubts, and when Emily Parker was applying the acupuncture on her just now, she saw Emily’s technique and the set of needles, which made Mrs.
Carter even more certain that Emily Parker was the Ghost Doctor.
Realizing that she couldn’t keep hiding it, Emily Parker simply stopped disguising herself, removing her mask to reveal her face.
“Mom, how did you know it was ?”
Ever since turning eighteen and becoming an adult, Emily Parker had been walking around as the Ghost Doctor, and for many years, she had never been recognized.
Mrs.
Carter playfully winked at her.
She glanced at the room door, patted the seat beside her, and gestured for Emily Parker to sit down.
She lowered her voice and said,
“Emily, don’t worry.
If you don’t want others to know about this, I’ll keep it a secret for you and won’t tell anyone.”
Pointing at Emily Parker’s needle kit, she continued,
“At first, I wasn’t sure, but the technique you just used was the Plum Acupuncture Technique, right?
Not many people recognize this technique.
I told you before, many years ago on a plane, I had a difficult labor, and it was your mother who saved my life.
Back on the plane, there actually was a dical delegation present, and all the doctors there were helpless, thinking I was a goner because my bleeding was uncontrollable.
But your mother stepped in, and she saved using the Plum Acupuncture Technique.
Her technique was identical to yours.
And also, the needles she used were the sa as the ones you have.
All these must have been left to you by your mother.”
Even though many years had passed, Mrs.
Carter rembered it very clearly.
“Back then, when the dical delegation witnessed your mother’s application of that set of techniques, a dignified-looking dical professor recognized the technique.
The old man exclaid in astonishnt, ‘Plum Divine Needle.’
He saw the profundity in your mother’s acupuncture.
The old gentleman even wanted to kneel down and beg your mother to take him as a disciple to learn the technique.
But your mother refused him.
She said her technique and needles would not be imparted to others and would only be passed on to her children.
She passed this set of techniques to you.”
After Mrs.
Carter finished speaking, Emily Parker suddenly realized, fortunate that few people knew of the connection between her and her mother, and even fewer had seen her mother in action.
Emily Parker chatted a bit more with Mrs.
Carter until Mrs.
Carter showed signs of tiredness, and then Emily Parker walked out of the room.
As soon as she opened the door, Carlos and Evan Palr rushed in.
“How’s my mother?”
Carlos wore a wary expression, not yet trusting this Ghost Doctor.
While waiting outside, he had called friends in the dical community, and none had heard about any sort of international dical license.
Carlos now suspected that the Ghost Doctor and the police officers from earlier had colluded.
After all, it was not strange for the Ghost Doctor, who had been practicing illegally in the Capital for many years, to have connections in both the underworld and respectable society.
But if she were to employ those tactics on his mother, he vowed he would make her life a living hell.
“Mrs.
Carter’s treatnt will need several more sessions.
I’m using traditional dicinal practices which work slowly, but they’re less taxing on the body.
The poison in the lady’s body didn’t accumulate overnight; it needs to be detoxified gradually.”
Emily Parker explained.
Evan Palr’s eyes were full of disbelief.
He had always looked down on traditional dicine, deeming it unscientific, and thought the person before him was a fraud.
“Carlos, will you see her out for ?”
Mrs.
Carter, however, was all smiles as she looked at Emily Parker, asking Carlos to escort Emily out.
Carlos could only frown as he ushered Emily away.
“Lady, that Ghost Doctor is unreliable.”
As soon as the person left, Evan Palr tried to persuade Mrs.
Carter to dismiss the Ghost Doctor.
“I’ve made my decision; I want the Ghost Doctor to treat from now on.”
Mrs.
Carter was resolute in her decision.
Carlos took Emily to the entrance of Cloud Lake Villa.
Just as he was about to call a car to take Emily down the mountain, she refused and pointed toward the gate of Cloud Lake Villa, where a shared bicycle was parked beside the green belt.
“Mr.
Carter, the next treatnt is in a week; I will visit on my own.
Emily pushed the bike and suddenly seed to rember sothing.
She turned around and asked,
“Mr.
Carter, are your mother and father close?”
Carlos was taken aback by the question.
He looked displeased,
“Ghost Doctor, you’re just here to treat her illness; it’s best not to pry into other people’s private lives.”
“It was just a casual question.
I see Mrs.
Carter always wears a ring, but your father doesn’t wear anything on his hands.”
Emily smiled and prepared to ride away on the bicycle.
Carlos frowned slightly; he hadn’t noticed that detail.
At that mont, a rental car stopped at the entrance to Cloud Lake Villa.
The car door opened, and a girl jumped out.
She seed to be crying and threw herself into Carlos’s arms.
Carlos, usually stern-faced, looked surprised; he quickly glanced in the direction where the Ghost Doctor had left.
She had already ridden far away on the bicycle.
“Why did you co here?”
Carlos pulled the girl and walked toward Cloud Lake Villa.
Emily looked back at Cloud Lake Villa and saw the figures of Carlos and the girl.
Carlos was holding the girl, comforting her with a patient deanor.
That girl must be Carlos’s beloved.
Emily turned her head, suppressing the discomfort in her heart.
It was just alti; Emily arrived at People’s Hospital, not forgetting her appointnt to dine with the Old Master.
She carried her lunchbox to their usual spot to find the Old Master.
The Old Master was holding a newspaper, reading about the selection for the city’s image ambassador.
The Old Master had broken his heart over his grandson’s matrimonial affairs; he had finally managed to get his grandson to add Emily on WeChat.
He didn’t know how the two were getting on, and it was not his place to ask directly.
If he did, it would give everything away.
He could only anxiously watch from the sidelines.
This ti was a good opportunity.
Emily was recomnded by People’s Hospital to participate in the Capital’s image ambassador selection, and it was the Old Master who had recomnded her to the dean.
Their young nurse was so pretty; it would be a waste for her to just be a nurse at People’s Hospital.
The Old Master rembered that the Carter Clan was the biggest sponsor for this selection of the Capital’s image ambassador.
His grandson would represent the group as a judge.
In this way, his grandson would surely et Emily.
With the young nurse looking so lovely, his grandson would definitely like her when he saw her.
The Old Master seed to already see his chubby great-grandson waving at him; his eyes were squinting with joy.
“Emily, you’re going to participate in the city image ambassador selection, right?
When is the preliminary round?
I’ll co and support you.”
“If you hadn’t ntioned it, I would have almost forgotten; the preliminaries are tomorrow.”
Emily took a bite of her al and responded offhandedly.
