“How could it be?” The first ones to react were those doctors.
They looked at the curves on the monitor, they were rather low curves for a normal human , but what did that stand for?
That meant a dead man had the vital sign of life again and went back to life, like, literally.
How could it be? There was no record in the medical history that someone could make the dead come back to life. This was a miracle!
The doctors and nurses were stupefied.
Kaley was hopeless a few moments ago, however now came the miracle.
Jacob successfully saved her father! She was so excited that she was quivering, and her breasts were also trembling sexually.
“But he still needs some time to wake up.” Jacob had just resurrected, he nearly had no mana in his body, so just now he could only save Brian from dying, but to wake him up Jacob needed more practice to regain his strength.
“You mean, you can not only save dad, but also wake him up?” Kaley was not sure about what she heard, she thought she had hallucinations.
“That’s right.” Jacob affirmed her.
As long as he would regain some of his strength, he wouldn’t need the silver needles to save Brian’s life.
And this time, no one had ever doubted him. It wouldn’t be too hard for Jacob to save a vegetative patient since he was able to bring a dead man back to life.
Jacob looked at Finn, “ How about another bet, doctor?”
Finn looked pale as if he was ill. He would win as Brian Harris was already dead, but how could Jacob save him?
Nevertheless, Jacob did what he said no matter how Finn felt about him. And Finn certainly didn’t want another bet with him.
“No, I agree that your medical skill is excellent. I was being rude to you, you have my apology.” Finn said with his teeth gritted. He apologized but mentioned nothing about the stake of their bet.
“So you said sorry and that’s all? Do you remember our stake?” Jacob sneered.
Would it be easy for Finn to muddle through? Was it possible?
Everyone, including the doctors and nurses, were looking at Finn at that moment.
Finn promised to slap on his own face and announce to the public that he was a quack. Would Finn do what he promised? If he did so, his career as a doctor would go to an end. Finn had been in charge of Brian’s treatment for a long time, and he kept a rather good relationship with the Harris family, so Kaley was going to say something for Finn to save his face.
But when she looked at Jacob, she found Jacob was heading toward the door.
“Let go of the stakes. I never expected you would do that. Moreover, I save him because he is my father-in-law, no because the bet with you. And, you’d better stop coveting her...” Jacob walked out of the door after saying these words.
Sometimes it was better not to force on someone than to compel someone. If Jacob forced Finn to fulfill his promise, Jacob could be an aggressive guy. Now Finn was not only a quack but also a disgraceful liar.
The ward was as silent as a grave.
Everyone was looking at Finn in a different way. Compared to Jacob, Finn lost completely, judging from both medical technique and mortality.
No one said anything about Finn, but deep down in their hearts, they looked down upon him. Finn looked around and saw those expressions in their eyes; he knew his image had been destroyed.
“Ahhhhh! Jacob! You’d better wish you won’t end up with me some other day, or else I would kill you by myself!” Finn said, gritted his teeth, now he hated Jacob deep to the bone, yet in the ward he could only held his hatred back.
Kaley stared at the door, asked herself whether this Jacob was her lazy and weak husband. She was quite sure she knew Jacob in the past, even better than he knew himself. But the Jacob just now was still that same Jacob she knew?
Kaley was confused; she found that it seemed she had never known this man. Or was the Jacob right now the same Jacob she knew?
......
Jacob stretched himself after walking out of the ward. He felt it hard to adjust to this body, which had almost no strength. He had sensed that the mana on the Earth is so little that he couldn’t regain power through practicing alone.
However, the most important thing for him was to find a place with more mana in the air and practice there, “At least I need to reach the Gasification Phase and step on the road of magic, this time every little strength matters.” Jacob thought to himself, and walked out of the Riverside Hospital.
