How the Ice King Became my Doting Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 488

She was caught between confusion and joy.

Unsure of what to do, she desperately didn't want Norbert Hetfield to die, yet she was powerless to save him.

At that moment, Edmund, standing by Greta's side, stepped forward and brusquely pushed aside the busy doctors, exclaiming, "What are you all fussing about? You're just wasting time. All you're doing is keeping him on his last breath, but he won't wake up this way."

Before the doctors could frown and question who this intruder was, Keegan quickly intervened, saying, "Step aside, let Dr. Thompson take over."

Morwenna looked up at Edmund in bewilderment. Could this doctor really save Norbert?

Edmund sat down and began his work. After a thorough examination, he took out a set of silver needles he carried and swiftly began acupuncture.

Half an hour later, Norbert lay still, unmoving.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Edmund remarked, "The patient is quite advanced in age, and his body's functions have significantly declined. It's impossible for him to recover fully."

Hearing this, Morwenna looked at Edmund, her voice trembling, "Are you... are you saying there's still hope for Norbert Hetfield?"

Edmund nodded matter-of-factly, "Of course. Even if Death himself wants to take someone, he has to check with me first."

Morwenna nearly threw herself in front of Edmund, asking loudly, "Is Norbert Hetfield really going to be okay?"

With a huff, Edmund replied, "Is there anyone here doubting what I say? That young lad, Stuart, risked his life to find me in the middle of nowhere, just to save this man, didn't he?"

Morwenna was stunned. Only now did she realize that during Stuart's recent disappearance, he had ventured into dangerous territories to find a doctor for Norbert Hetfield.

And Stuart had indeed brought back someone capable of saving him.

Right now, Morwenna couldn't dwell on what Stuart had sacrificed. She urgently asked, "When will Norbert Hetfield wake up?"
