Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 563

Sebastian was lifted from his horse and carried through the air, and he felt the world spin and darken momentarily.

When he regained his bearings, he found himself set down and standing by Lawrence's bedside.

He turned to see who had carried him, but was interrupted by Rafael's urgent voice. "Sebastian, take a look at him quickly."

All eyes around Sebastian were filled with hope and tears as the men turned to the renowned physician.

He was here—Sebastian had arrived!

Ten people knelt, their voices choked with emotion. "Please, Sebastian, save his life!"

Mira carried a medicine kit and entered. Sebastian took one glance at Lawrence's condition, and knew that stabilizing him was the immediate priority.

He took out the piece of a thousand-year-old Evergreen Root, and handed it to Rafael. "Crush this."

Rafael squeezed the hard root slice until it softened, and Sebastian swiftly placed it into Lawrence's mouth.

The thousand-year-old Evergreen Root was known for its remarkable ability to sustain life, but it could only keep Lawrence alive for the moment.

Mira passed the needle pouch. Sebastian removed Lawrence's clothes, and proceeded to map out a few vital pressure points.

Seeing this, the military physician interjected, "Sebastian, he's extremely weak. Are you sure he'll be able to handle the acupuncture treatment? Isn't it dangerous?"

"It is dangerous, yes, but without taking this risk, we have no chance to save him at all," Sebastian replied without looking back.

After applying the needles, he gently adjusted them. "The heat in his body has accumulated too much, and he's very weak. Cooling him down and expelling the heat is crucial, and the Evergreen Root will stabilize him..."

Before he finished his sentence, he already extended a hand toward Mira. "Snowdrop Pill, for heart protection."

Mira handed a Snowdrop Pill to Sebastian. He frowned, looking at Rafael. "Crush it! Quickly!"

Those standing away were unable to bear the sight, and they turned away. The pain was too intense to watch.

Julian rested his elbows on the door, burying his face and weeping silently. He dared not look, unable to bear the sight. Every pang of pain Lawrence bore felt like a stab to his own heart.

Julian thought to himself that it was fortunate his sister-in-law had not come—seeing such a scene would likely have caused her to faint in distress.

Hearing the uncontrollable sobs, Sebastian barked out, "If you need to cry, go outside and do it! He's using every ounce of his strength to endure! What right do you have to be weak here?"

Everyone fell silent, and choked back their sobs. Only Rafael understood that Sebastian's anger signified the seriousness of the situation.

It took a full three hours to scrape out all the pus, clean the wounds, and apply medicine. After washing the wounds, they rinsed them again with medicinal liquid, followed by a coating of white powder.

Sebastian prescribed two remedies. One was for further cleaning the wounds, and the other was a medicinal drink. Since they had been briefed about the situation in advance, Mira and Vanda had brought the necessary herbal medicines. The post office staff immediately started preparing the medicine as soon as the prescriptions were issued.

Throughout the process, Mira and Vanda stayed by the fire and watched attentively. They placed the wound-cleaning solution in the side room to cool naturally, while the medicinal drink was carefully administered spoonful by spoonful to Lawrence.
