Chapter 13 I Want to See Her
"After you left, Old Hughes, Mr. Mercer's condition deteriorated quickly. He became unconscious, feverish, and his condition worsened. I called you, but you didn't pick up. We were extremely worried and didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Miss Jones happened to come by to do business with you and offered her help. It's all thanks to her that Mr. Mercer was able to recover so quickly from danger. I never thought her medical skills were so good. She just inserted a few needles and gave him some medicine, and Mr. Mercer was up and about in no time!" Ava said to Old Hughes with a relieved tone, explaining what had just happened.
"Old Hughes, indeed, that's how it happened," Xavier nodded with smiles.
"Anna?" Old Hughes looked surprised, stroking his beard.
"Yes," Ava nodded.
Old Hughes's surprise deepened. "She knows medicine?"
"Yes, she's exceptionally skilled. I just found out too. I thought you knew that, given your acquaintance with Miss Jones."
Upon hearing Ava's words, Old Hughes fell into thought. Deanna had many business dealings with him. He only knew her for growing herbs to sell, but it was the first time he knew she knew medicine; this girl hid it pretty deep.
Lance's condition was so critical, yet she managed to turn the tide.
"Kid, give me your hand, let me check your pulse."
Putting his hand on Lance's pulse, Old Hughes examined it closely and was amazed. He had treated Lance more than once, but it was the first time his pulse was so steady. But with his condition so severe, how could he suddenly be so spirited?
"Ava, when Anna was giving the acupuncture, which acupoints did she use needles on?"
He was excited inside. If Anna really could cure Lance, it would be a big relief.
Ava recalled and said, "It's strange, I've never seen the acupoints she used before. She inserted several needles, I remember one in the toe, one in the shoulder, and another in the thigh."
This is... ancient medical art!
Could Anna be a descendant of ancient medical art?
Old Hughes was excited. The Hughes family was a medical family. He had heard of the miraculous ancient medical art from the previous generation. He had
collected ancient medical remedies
for many years, and until now, he
had only obtained a fragment. He had seen the acupoints AvaCcontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
mentioned in that fragment.
There were very few descendants of ancient medical art, except for those from cryptic families!
Now, one appeared right in front of him!
"This is great! Ava, quickly inform Anna to come over, I want to see her! We'll discuss business as well."
Old Hughes happily patted the bed and instructed Ava.
Ava nodded and went to make the call.
Xavier and Lance saw Old Hughes, who was usually dignified, showing such expression for the first time and couldn't help but become more curious about this 'Miss Jones'.
Xavier adjusted his glasses and couldn't help but ask, "Old Hughes, is that woman really that skilled? She doesn't look like a doctor."
Old Hughes furrowed his brows,
pondered for a moment, and then
said, "It's hard to say for now, but if I
can confirm her identity, then.
perhaps your young master will be
saved!"
Xavier was shocked, finding it hard to believe, "Really? That woman is so young! But if it's true, that would be great!"
The four of them waited eagerly at the pharmacy for Deanna's arrival.
Upon receiving the call, Deanna immediately rushed over with the medicine.
As she approached the pharmacy door, wiping the sweat off her forehead, she unexpectedly saw Old Hughes standing at the entrance, eagerly waiting for her with a smile.
As soon as Old Hughes saw her, he warmly welcomed her, shook her hand, and couldn't hide his excitement in his voice, "Anna, you finally came!"
