Great Marshal: Marrying the Bridesmaid novel Chapter 42

Quite quickly, the acupuncture was done.

Mr. Raynor's head was covered with silver needles, causing him to resemble a hedgehog.

Lawrence let out a sigh of relief. “It's done, the treatment is done. After five minutes, the needles will be removed. More than 50% of the pain should be gone after.”

Gratefully, Susan said, “Thank you Mr. Herbert...”

However, before she could finish speaking, she distinctly noticed the corners of her father's mouth twitched.

Following that, his whole body started twitching. His body went limp, and he slumped downwards.

Oh!

Susan grew alarmed, “Dad, are you alright?”

Lawrence Herbert reacted quickly, catching Mr. Raynor before he fell onto the floor.

After observing Mr. Raynor, Lawrence Herbert broke out in a cold sweat.

Mr. Raynor's face paled, and his breathing was irregular. It was obvious that the acupuncture Lawrence had given him had failed and caused blockage of blood vessels in the brain.

It was highly possible that his brain could suffer irreparable damage.

He had seriously underestimated the condition of Mr. Raynor's illness.

Blood began flowing out of Mr. Raynor's ears.

This was... a sign of cerebral infarction!

Without proper treatment, Mr. Raynor would most certainly have a cerebral infarction. The probability of death was 70 to 80 percent.

However, with the few instruments he had brought, there was no way he could treat the patient in the present situation.

It's over for me. If anything happens to Mr. Raynor and if the Raynor family were to hold me responsible, with their influence and power, I'm done for.

Susan panicked. “Mr. Herbert, what's happening to my dad?”

Lawrence swallowed, taking deep breaths to calm himself down.

Stealthily, unseen by anyone, he brushed away the blood from Mr. Raynor's ears. Pretending to be calm, he said, “It's nothing, just a normal reaction. I cannot do the following step alone. William, go and get Daniel Hinton to assist me.”

He was preparing to frame Daniel for what had happened and put the blame on Daniel.
