Chapter 355 Saved From The Brink
Natalie’s back stiffened.
With great proficiency and gracefulness, Natalie inserted the needles into Lia’s acupoints.
Ten minutes later, she managed to insert forty-nine crystal needles in total.
As time went on, the acupoints began to react strangely. Veins were bulging and turning brown-black at the same time.
Lionel was astounded by the sight, as this was the first time he saw such a technique within traditional medicine.
After that, the phenomenon continued to emanate throughout Lia’s body to the extent her neck and face were covered by black bulging veins.
Furrowing her brows, Lia grimaced in pain.
Under normal circumstances, she would have already been woken up by the pain.
However, her eyes remained tightly shut. Despite that, her eyelashes were fluttering while her entire body was twitching. She looked as if she was unable to wake from a nightmare.
Suddenly, Lia threw up a mouthful of black blood with a loud barf.
Panicking, Lionel asked Natalie, “Why is she puking blood again?”
“It’s poison. Hence, it’s a good sign that she’s vomiting it out.” Glancing at Lionel, Natalie added, “She has been throwing up since the banquet and still has a lot more poisoned blood to get out of her system. Anyway, you should now wipe your arm clean, as we need to transfuse your blood to her.”
When Lionel froze at her words, Natalie frowned at him.
“What’s the matter? Are you unwilling to donate blood to her despite being her elder brother?”
“No, I’m going to get ready now.”
After leaving the ward, Lionel contacted the hospital’s blood bank to source blood on Lia’s behalf.
It wasn’t because he was reluctant. In fact, he was willing to sacrifice his life to save Lia. Unfortunately, they were not biological siblings and naturally didn’t have the same blood type. As a result, he couldn’t donate his blood to her.
Back in the ward, Natalie wiped the black blood thrown up by Lia with a towel.
