My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 179

It wasn't until Lily entered the operating room that Shaun finally realized what had happened. He got all fired up all of a sudden.

"Yes, we still have Lily! She can definitely save Mrs. Laurier!" he cheered.

"But Mrs. Laurier's heart has stopped beating. Besides Shadowbane, no one else can bring the dead back to life in this world," Neil said with his head down, his voice somewhat muffled.

He hated the fact that his medical skills weren't good enough for him to save Melanie.

Upon hearing that, Shaun's face crumpled. He turned and punched the wall heavily. "Fuck!"

Loid watched for a while. He then pushed the door to the operation room open and went in. Lily was working hard to save his mother. He should be there to accompany her.

Seeing that Loid had gone in, Shaun and the others followed suit. They all wanted to see if Lily could make a miracle happen and save Melanie.

In the operation room, Lily put down her acupuncture bag and lifted the white cloth covering Melanie. She took out a silver needle, aimed it at an acupoint, and stuck it there swiftly. Her movements were fast and accurate.

To the eyes of any ordinary person, the way she applied the needle was no different from an aged and experienced traditional doctor. However, Neil noticed at one glance that her technique was special. It was…

"13 Needles of Life?" Neil's eyes widened in shock, and he walked over to Lily. His exclamation of wonder was so loud that the whole floor could hear him.

Shaun frowned and scolded, "What the hell was that for? Stop yelling so noisily. Can't you see that Lily is saving Mrs. Laurier?"

Neil grabbed his arm and pointed at Lily. With trembling lips, he said, "I-It's the 13 Needles of Life! She's using the 13 Needles of Life!"

"I heard you the first time. What's so special about it?" Shaun felt annoyed at how Neil was behaving, as if he'd made some discovery of the century.

The 13 Needles of Life actually consisted of 108 needles. It was given the name "13 Needles of Life" because the 13 needles that could supposedly resurrect the dead were the most crucial.

This wasn't the first time Lily had used this technique, so her movements were masterful and familiar. When she reached the 50th needle, she started to stagger, and colour began to drain from her face.

Loid hurried over and held her in his arms. His voice was hoarse as he asked, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Lily replied, steadying herself. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and continued to apply the needles.

Ordinary folks only knew that the 13 Needles of Life could save a life that was on the brink of death. However, none of them knew that applying this technique required drawing vital energy into one's body.

After all, this form of energy was very mystical because it didn't exist in the eyes of ordinary people.
