Aiden Finnegan the Alchemist in Delcord novel Chapter 37

Aiden had a solemn expression, and his eyes remained keen when he took out a golden needle and inserted it into the patient's Conception Vessel 17 (CV 17). That particular scene shocked Reece on the note that CV 17 was the lethal point. Doctors rarely performed acupuncture on it.

Yet, Aiden performed the acupuncture as though it was a regular treatment. His calm aura was that of someone from a sophisticated family.

In the meantime, affection laced with astonishment and admiration in Gina's eyes as she watched his course of movements.

His next moves paced up, and soon, the patient's body was full of golden needles. Aiden snapped his fingers, and the needles trembled instantly. The patient's pallid face was gone before he coughed up blood and slowly regained consciousness.

"Honey," called the woman.

The young lady's eyes widened in bewilderment. Even Reece was equally flabbergasted as it took him a while to mutter something, "Miracle. It's a miracle!"

"He needs some medicines to replenish his energy and two more acupuncture treatment to recover." Aiden looked at the woman calmly.

After thanking him profusely, the woman supported her husband out of the center.

Next, Aiden faced Reece again. "Now, let's talk about you."

"How about you treat Grandpa in exchange for the medical center?" The lady blinked her bright eyes despite the tinge of contempt in her voice.

"Helena, behave," scolded Reece.

"He's just a young man." She raised her chin disdainfully.

"Please don't take it to heart. She's a spoiled brat." He smiled wryly.

"I don't mind. She's just a kid. I understand." Aiden shook his head with a light smile.

"Who are you calling a kid?" She retorted.

"The one who responded." He chuckled.

"You—" She was vexed.

"Why don't you get some rest?" Reece looked at Aiden apologetically.

"I'm fine." He shook his head lightly. The treatment tested only his medical skill, so he need not use an ounce of inner energy for it. It was a little mentally draining and nothing more.

He turned back at the excited Gina, whose eyes zeroed in on him. Her scorching gaze made him feel so uncomfortable that he quickly treated Reece.

"Goddess of luck is smiling upon me." Reece could not help the brisk laughter after Aiden performed an acupuncture treatment on him.

"Our encounter is part of our fate." Aiden smiled back.

"Grandpa, so are you completely fine?" Helena asked happily.

"Close, but I'm almost there." Reece then cast his gaze on Aiden. "Thank you so much for saving me."

Helena glanced at Aiden. "The medical center will be yours starting tomorrow."

It's the area with an expensive housing market in Keyland, but only four hundred thousand dollars for a medical center?

"I think I do!" Her fervent gaze fixed upon him.

He shook his head. "No one does."

She could somehow feel his solitude from his words, hence the heartache. She leaned toward him with a gentle expression. Jack, who was driving the car, sneaked a glance at the rearview mirror before winding up the partition.

"I'll get to know you better from now on," she cooed. "You don't have to be alone."

Aiden turned his head only to realize the proximity between them; his face almost touched hers! Awkwardly, he moved his body to the side with a smile. "I don't feel lonely."

Gina intended to say something when the car suddenly took an emergency turn. Inertia pushed her body toward his direction, and she yelped in surprise as she fell into his embrace.

Guessing it was another assassination, he quickly hugged her and knocked on the partition. "What happened?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Finnegan. Someone's crossing the road. I'll drive more carefully." Jack did not wind down the partition.

Hearing that, Aiden heaved a sigh of relief and lowered his gaze. Gina was hugging him, and her whole body was sprawling over his lap. With his hands placed on her back, awkwardness set the air still.

Almost instantly, he withdrew his hand. "Jack said it's the passerby."

How could she not hear that when they were the only ones in that compartment?
