Atlas warned kindly, but Viviana simply wouldn't listen.
"I told you to keep your mouth shut when I'm treating patients!" Viviana glared at Atlas with repulsion.
Ronald gave Atlas a look and turned his head to Viviana, "Are you sure about this?"
"I just put him to sleep. Every doctor who knows how to do acupuncture can do that."
"I'm absolutely sure. Mr. Kimmerly, don't worry!" Viviana swore.
"Okay, then do it!"
Atlas stopped trying to persuade her. Anyway, she couldn't get him killed.
Viviana put three needles into the young man's head in quick succession. The young man struggled for a moment and then suddenly stopped.
"Okay!" Viviana smile a little smugly.
Ronald sighed with relief and said, "You're young, but your medical skills are brilliant. I admire you!"
"Mr. Kimmerly, you're welcome. I'll examine him now!"
Viviana stepped forward and reached out to check the pulse in the young man's neck.
Something changed!
The young man, who had been sleeping, sprang up and bit Viviana's hand.
Ouch!
Laura cried out in shock.
Viviana froze straight away. "It’s impossible. How can such a simple acupuncture technique fail to work!"
In a moment of crisis, Atlas took a giant leap forward and came straight to Viviana's side.
Slap!
A crisp slap sounded. The young man was slapped by Atlas and fell back on the pillows.
Atlas pulled Viviana, who was still dazed, aside with one hand.
"What are you doing!" Laura exclaimed, "How could you hit my son!"
Ronald didn't scold Atlas but his face was grim and there was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
Atlas let go of Viviana and ignored Laura, who was furious, but looked at Ronald with a dull expression.
"If you don't want your son to die, shut up!"
Laura did not dare to say anything and just glared at Atlas.
"My son is not for anyone to beat up. You need to give me an explanation!" Ronald's voice sounded menacing.
Atlas snatched a silver needle from Viviana's hand and walked towards the young man.
Without waiting for the crowd to react, he put a needle into the youth’s philtrum acupoint.
That was the explanation Atlas gave him.
The silver needle was inserted from the bottom upwards, which seemed extremely quick, but was exceptionally exhausting.
"Thirteen Needles of Hell specializes in curing seizures called by evil spirits, and is best at dealing with this kind of Foul Energy."
"A needle on the philtrum acupoint, where the needle was inserted from the left and through out to the right."
This was the basic description about Thirteen Needles of Hell.
The youth suddenly stopped struggling, and then, came to his senses.
"Where am I?"
"Ruben, you're awake!" Laura exclaimed.
Ronald, also with an excited look on his face, leaned over and asked, "Ruben, how are you feeling?"
"Dad, what's happening to me?" Ruben looked around with a puzzled look on his face.
At that moment, an old man and a young man walked into the ward.
"Mr. Kimmerly, sorry to be late!" The old man in the white coat had an apologetic look on his face.
Ronald was overjoyed and walked over to grab the old man's hands, "Dean Coleman, you're finally here!"
This was the director of Harmony Grove Hospital, Augustin Coleman, a man of integrity. In his previous life, Atlas had received favors from him when he was ill and hospitalized.
Augustin pointed to the young man beside him, who looked a little haughty, and said, "There's a reason I'm late. Look who I've invited here."
Ronald wondered, "And this is?"
"The grandson of the Miracle Doctor Yameen, from the capital!" Augustin's voice was excited.
"I see! So this must be Doctor Samir Yameen. Sorry I didn't recognize you!" Ronald bowed.
The Miracle Doctor Yameen was very famous in the continent. Even a big shot like Ronald venerated him.
After all, everyone could get sick, and at critical moments, it was up to the doctor to save lives.
"No worries, Mr. Kimmerly. I was invited by Dean Coleman to come and take a look at your son."
