Rachel Barton cast a look at the retreating figure of Hikari and whispered to Mary Perryne, "Aunt Mary, I think Hikari makes so sense. At this point, saving Viola's life is the top priority. But what if, just if, Nathaniel Besian cannot handle it, what will happen to Viola?"
"Aunt, life matters the most right now!"
Mary Perryne bit her lip, mired in a deep tangle of thoughts, uncertain of her choice.
Rachel makes sense.
Nothing is more important than life.
But the legs are also important.
Viola Thompson is proud to her bones; what life would she lead if she lost her legs?
Her pride, her self-esteem, where would they go?
Fiona Knight, standing beside them, caught Rachel's words and raised her usually reticent voice, "Aunt Mary, I have a hunch that Hikari Pavlov has a hidden agenda. Perhaps you can let Divine Doctor examine Viola first. After all, Hikari Pavlov is from Poluton. Our dical approaches are different. Traditional Chinese dicine is vast and profound. I think Divine Doctor is more reliable."
Then Fiona paused a bit before adding, "Moreover, the Divine Doctor was hard-won by Mr. Lentz. We shouldn't let his effort go in vain."
For so reason, Fiona played defensive against Hikari since the mont he appeared.
Especially when Hikari proposed the amputation option.
Upon hearing Fiona's words, Mary Perryne nodded, "You're right, Fiona. Traditional Chinese dicine is incredibly profound. The Divine Doctor surely has a way to solve it!"
Her slightly wavering heart stood firm again.
No matter what, Nathaniel Besian was a disciple of Suwen.
The Divine Doctor Suen is known worldwide, and her disciples are obviously not ordinary folks.
Rachel Barton squinted imperceptibly.
Mary Perryne is a concerned mother who seems to be losing her capability of logical thinking. Rachel was hoping to instigate her into putting a halt to all this. However, Fiona's unexpected interjection changed everything.
What does all this have to do with Fiona Knight?
If it had not been for Fiona, Mary Perryne would surely have stood by her side at this mont.
Rachel Barton glared at Fiona, her eyes brimming with hatred.
anwhile, Rachel was anxious.
What if Nathaniel Besian did indeed cure Viola Thompson?
anwhile.
Nathaniel Besian followed the doctor into the Intensive Care Unit.
There Viola Thompson lied on the patient's bed.
With an oxygen mask covering her face.
The heart monitor beside her beeping steadily.
Nathaniel Besian sat down and took Viola's wrist, checking her pulse.
His face was tense, and his expression was not good.
He underestimated the severity of Viola's condition.
This was quite different from what he had imagined.
Nathaniel Besian knitted his brows.
A mont later, he let go of Viola's wrist and looked at the attending doctor, "Can I take a look at Miss Thompson's dical record?"
"Of course."
The doctor handed Viola's dical record to him.
Nathaniel Besian received the dical record and studied it carefully.
Ten minutes later.
He exited the Intensive Care Unit.
Seeing Nathaniel Besian co out, the Thompson family imdiately sward around him, "Divine Doctor, how is our daughter's condition?"
Nathaniel Besian replied, "Let's find a quiet place to talk."
"Okay."
Once they arrived in the lounge, Nathaniel Besian spoke again, "Mr. Thompson and Mr. Lentz, I would like to discuss this matter alone with both of you."
Mandel Thompson imdiately understood the implication and ushered the others out.
In the twinkling of an eye, only Nathaniel Besian, Sawyer Thompson, and Terrence Lentz were left in the lounge.
Sawyer Thompson was sowhat anxious, "Divine Doctor, could you please tell us the actual state of my daughter's condition?"
With a serious expression, Nathaniel Besian continued, "Based on my preliminary judgent, Miss Thompson seems to have been poisoned rather than infected with the so-called Arnos virus."
"Poisoned?"
Upon hearing this, Sawyer Thompson furrowed his brows.
He could not fathom who had the opportunity to poison Viola in the Thompson mansion!
Terrence Lentz squinted his eyes but remained calm.
He always felt that Viola's illness occurred rather abruptly.
But he had not expected that soone dared to harm her.
Sawyer Thompson continued, "So, is there hope for Viola?"
"There is, but it's quite complicated," Nathaniel Besian sighed and continued, "With my current dical knowledge, I can only stifle the spread of the toxin and temporarily restore Miss Thompson's consciousness. To entirely eliminate the toxin, we must resort to golden needle acupuncture. Sadly, my master is not present."
At this juncture, Nathaniel Besian profoundly understood the agony of not mastering golden needle acupuncture.
He could only watch as a life, full of vigor, slipped away.
