23: Chapter 23: My dical Skills Are Second to None 23: Chapter 23: My dical Skills Are Second to None Even as Serena Sumrs’ disciple, Victor Bennett’s dical skills surely can’t surpass those of Professor Parker, right?
After all, Professor Parker has over fifty years of dical experience.
This is sothing Serena Sumrs simply cannot match.
Just then, Professor Parker and Liam Shaw hurried to the scene.
As the two entered, they saw Serena Sumrs administering acupuncture to Lucas Shaw.
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points with needles to treat and heal patients.
The points on the human body are intricate and complex, and many are extrely close to one another—a slight error could an puncturing the wrong spot.
This girl was simply being reckless!
Professor Parker trembled with anger, pointing at Master Shaw and exclaiming, “Reckless!
How could you let such a young lady treat Mr.
Shaw?
What if sothing goes wrong?”
Master Shaw remained silent.
He had also been foolishly anxious and had agreed to let Serena Sumrs give it a try.
Now his heart was in his throat, terrified that his grandson might encounter the slightest mishap.
“Professor Parker, please go in and see for yourself!
Stop that girl’s nonsense!
If this continues, I fear Lucas will be beyond saving!” Elena Ryan, seizing the opportunity, hastily put on an urgent façade.
“Shut up!”
Master Shaw’s temples throbbed as he heard the last two words.
He scolded, “Lucas is your son after all.
Can’t you watch your words?”
Over the years, Master Shaw had a strong aversion to hearing words like “death,” “lifeless,” or “breathless.”
Each ti he heard them, it felt like sothing was ruthlessly gripping his heart.
The pain left him struggling to breathe.
Hearing this, Professor Parker, with a grave expression, walked into the bedroom.
He was about to interrupt, but upon noticing Serena Sumrs’ proficient techniques, he paused.
Despite her young age, the girl’s movents were incredibly fluid, as if all the acupoints were etched in her mory, her needling was swift, accurate, and decisive.
The positioning of the needles was impeccable.
There was a sense of ease and flow in her movents.
The more Professor Parker watched, the more he was taken aback.
This setup… why was it so familiar?
“Is this the long-lost Red Phoenix Thirteen Needles?”
Professor Parker snapped back to reality and realized that he had spoken his inner thoughts aloud.
Liam Shaw asked Professor Parker in a low voice, “Red Phoenix Thirteen Needles?
Professor, what’s that?
I’ve never heard of it.”
Professor Parker, visibly excited, waved to Liam Shaw behind him, signaling him to be quiet.
Then he instinctively stepped forward, wanting to observe Serena Sumrs’ needling technique more closely.
Liam Shaw, who didn’t get an answer, touched his nose and stood quietly aside.
He was trained in Western dicine and knew little about Traditional Chinese dicine.
Yet the ancient dical techniques of Corland were exquisitely profound and inscrutable.
Liam Shaw gazed at Serena Sumrs, and suddenly the phone call from his grandfather two days earlier, ntioning that Lucas had gotten married and brought the young lady to the old Shaw Family ho, ca to mind.
It seed this was his new sister-in-law.
Serena Sumrs was completely oblivious to the onlookers.
All her attention was focused on Lucas Shaw.
Seeing the sanguine streaks in his eyes slowly fade and him gradually slipping into a deep sleep, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
It seems that the symptoms of the poison have been controlled.
With the efficacy of the Spring Elixir, Lucas Shaw shouldn’t have another poisoning episode in a short ti.
Serena Sumrs withdrew the needles and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
She sat weakly beside the bed, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.
Upon lifting her eyes, she saw an old gentleman about fifty or sixty years old, dressed in a white lab coat, staring at her excitedly.
Behind him was a man with a slender figure and handso features, bearing so resemblance to Lucas Shaw, also wearing a white lab coat.
This must be Lucas Shaw’s elder brother, Liam Shaw.
“Hello young lady, my na is Professor Parker, Mason Parker.” Professor Parker, who always had a stern face and a dreadful temper, extended his hand to Serena Sumrs, his eyes filled with excitent.
Serena Sumrs greeted Professor Parker politely.
Due to the excessive exertion, her little face was deathly pale, devoid of any color.
But it still could not hide her delicate and stunning features.
Professor Parker, excitedly leaning in close and worried his enthusiasm would startle the young lady, quickly lowered his voice and asked, “Is that set of acupuncture techniques the Red Phoenix Thirteen Needles?
Who did you learn it from?
What is your relation to Victor Bennett?”
Serena Sumrs answered honestly, “You have a keen eye indeed, that was the Red Phoenix Thirteen Needles, taught to by my master.”
Professor Parker stared with his eyes wide in shock, “Victor Bennett has taken disciples?
Wasn’t he resolute in not taking any disciples in his lifeti?”
The Divine Healer Victor Bennett was a sensation in Corland back in the day.
Twenty years ago, he was known for his carefree and uninhibited deanor.
But no one knew what happened after that, Victor Bennett seed to have beco a different person overnight.
He bid farewell to all his friends and vanished without a trace.
Many people have been searching for Victor Bennett’s whereabouts over the years, but to no avail.
Serena Sumrs blinked her eyes in confusion, “You know my master?”
Professor Parker: “Of course!
Back in the day, your master and I often exchanged dical knowledge.
But then he disappeared without saying goodbye, and I’ve been looking for him for over twenty years!”
Professor Parker was quite irate when reminiscing about this.
They had agreed to explore dical knowledge together, yet he disappeared without a trace, not even leaving a word.
Liam Shaw, who had been standing in the background the entire ti, gently coughed to interrupt the conversation between Professor Parker and Serena Sumrs.
He pointed to Lucas Shaw who had fallen unconscious on the bed and asked, “How is Lucas doing?”
Just then, Elena Ryan, who had been standing at the door, suddenly rushed in, her eyes full of sorrow.
“Professor Parker, please hurry and check on Lucas.
Serena Sumrs insisted on showing off her dical skills at this critical mont.
She is young and less experienced than you; if anything goes wrong, how could we bear it!” she exclaid, a stream of tears flowing from her eyes.
Professor Parker, whose sleeve was being pulled, felt sowhat embarrassed.
If he hadn’t been completely aware of the Shaw Family’s situation, he would have been deceived by Elena Ryan’s maternal façade.
Who in S City didn’t know that Elena Ryan wished for Lucas Shaw to die soon?
Moreover, her words clearly belittled Serena Sumrs’ treatnt of Lucas Shaw, treating it as the whimsical tantrum of a child.
Feeling uncomfortable in his heart to see soone he regarded highly deaned, Professor Parker cleared his throat and said, “Mrs.
Shaw, rest assured, the poison in the Second Young Master’s body has been controlled.
The Shaw Family has really stumbled upon a treasure this ti.
This young girl may look young, but her dical skills are definitely not inferior to mine!”
Saying that, Professor Parker suddenly burst into hearty laughter, his voice filled with joy and satisfaction.
Elena Ryan was montarily dumbfounded, looking at Professor Parker with disbelief, she asked, “Professor Parker, are you joking?
There are hardly a handful in Corland whose dical skills surpass yours.
How could Serena Sumrs possibly…!”
“I never joke about dical skills, Mrs.
Shaw.
Shouldn’t you be happy that there is a chance for the Second Young Master to be healed?” said Professor Parker, looking seriously at Elena Ryan.
