Master Healer Lowe was flushed red with anger by now.
“You are misleading everyone here with those untruths,” He remarked.
“Black magic only exists in fiction. How can that happen in real life?”
Zeke commented, “Well, we’ll wait and see.”
Shannon Hans was also on the verge of frustration. Toying with the knife in her hand, she spun it very quickly. One could only see the shadow of the knife as it moved.
Finally, she tossed the dagger, and it stabbed onto the ground next to Zeke William’s feet. “I will make sure you are punished accordingly if you speak any more nonsense,” She threatened.
Zeke merely smiled. “The man who is dying is not me. It’s your father.”
“Jeffrey, let’s go and get a cup of tea. They will come begging for me to help later on.”
The two stepped out as he said this.
Shannon gritted her teeth and muttered, “If I beg you, I will not be Shannon Hans.”
Zeke scoffed, “Well, why don’t you try changing your name instead. To...Hans The Fool? You chose not to do anything even though your father is going to get killed by this man. Who are you, but a fool?”
“I swear I will kill you,” Shannon warned through gritted teeth, ready to give him a taste of his medicine.
“Enough!” Master Healer Lowe exclaimed.
“The patient is more important,” He told everyone.
“Furthermore, this man can’t die yet. I have to prove to him that I can treat your father, and he shall kneel and apologize to me then.”
At this, Shannon could only stay silent and control her temper.
At this moment, the helpers entered with the hot water and alcohol.
Master Healer Lowe immediately got to work. He used both water and alcohol to wipe the spots with clogged vessels.
Within ten minutes, one could see visible changes in the patient’s body.
His pale face was now filled with color once more; this meant that his blood flow had returned to normal.
Master Healer Lowe waved Shannon over as he said, “Come here and take your father’s pulse.”
Shannon did as she was told and immediately turned excited.
The woman, who was usually domineering and headstrong, now had tears filled to the brim of her eyes!
“My father’s pulse is obviously much stronger than last time! There is hope! My father is going to recover! Thank you so much, Master Healer Lowe.”
The Han family also heaved a sigh of relief as they said, “Luckily, we didn’t believe in that crazy doctor.”
Shannon scoffed, “Well, I never trusted him anyway.”
Master Healer Lowe then continued, “You can continue to massage his clogged vessels while I will continue to massage the other spots.”
“Alright,” Shannon took the towel from him and continued what Master Healer Lowe had done earlier.
The latter started to demonstrate his unique massage skills.
Another ten minutes passed. The patient who had been quiet for the past decade suddenly moved.
He parted his lips and groaned slightly before coughing out a mouthful of blood.
Everyone was stunned at this scene and began to wonder what had happened.
A small girl with pigtails immediately stuttered, “That uncle said he was going to cough blood and lose all his blood...”
Immediately, Shannon rolled her eyes at the girl and chided, “Lily, don’t spout nonsense. Master Healer Lowe, what’s going on?”
Meanwhile, the doctor remained calm and said, “This is normal. My massage skills have helped to discharge the blood clots in his body.”
“Hang on, this does not seem like clots. It looks more like actual blood... This is not right. Shannon, pick up your speed.”
The two continued to split the work and sped up the massage.
Poof!
The patient spat out blood once more.
Master Healer Lowe glanced at the blood, and a deep frown appeared on his face. He commented, “This does not look right.”
“By right, he should be spitting out clots. Why is it blood?”
At this moment, Shannon let out a loud shriek, “Master Healer Lowe, look! There is...There is a blood blister here!”
“Blister? What blister?” His eyes darted over in a doubtful manner.
However, the next moment, his face turned pale as he said, “That’s impossible. Why would there be a blister?”
“Could it be that the water was too hot and caused a blister? Shannon, use alcohol. Hotness expands, while coldness contracts. The alcohol should reduce it.”
“Alright.” Shannon quickly nodded and dipped the cloth in alcohol.
However, before she could apply it on him, a loud pop echoed around the room, and the lump burst!
Blood splattered out far.
Everyone turned pale at this unusual and terrifying sight.
The girl in pigtails even started to sob uncontrollably as she repeated, “Vomiting blood, losing blood...That uncle was right... Grandpa is dying...No...”
