Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 379

The last acupuncture session ended.

After Wayne administered the needle, his expression became more serious.

Alicia's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly walked to the bedside, seeing Victoria still lying unconscious, tears instantly burning her eyes, tears streaming down her face as she touched her daughter's cheek, her fingers trembling.

Jack's voice was strained, "Mr. Turner, how is Victoria doing now? When will she wake up?"

Upon hearing this, Alicia and the others in the ward all nervously looked at Wayne.

Wayne sighed, saying slowly, "During these seven days, I have been giving Victoria acupuncture every day. If the situation was good, she would have woken up today... But now, Victoria is still unconscious, and the situation is a bit troublesome..."

Alicia felt a moment of dizziness at his words, almost collapsing backward.

Mason quickly supported her.

Alicia's face was pale, tears filling her eyes. If the situation was good, she would have woken up by now. But now, she still hasn't woken up. Is this what he meant by 'seven days will reveal the outcome'?

And now, the situation was a bit troublesome...

Michael and Ralph's faces were even more glum.

In the tense atmosphere, Jack was surrounded by a cold darkness. He mechanically looked at Wayne, his voice hoarse to the point of breaking, "What... What should we do next?"

Wayne sighed softly, "According to the method my master taught me, for this strange illness, if the patient doesn't wake up within the first seven days, then we can only proceed gradually. The previous daily acupuncture sessions were meant to stimulate Victoria's body and make her wake up as soon as possible, but unfortunately, it didn't go as planned... So, from now on, she can only have acupuncture twice a week at most, combined with medication."

Ralph hurriedly asked, "So when will she wake up like this?"

Wayne said, "Maybe in ten days, half a month, or two to three months, or even longer... It's impossible to determine now, we can only observe her condition slowly."

Ralph's breath stalled.

Standing on the side, Carl's face turned pale upon hearing this. His heart sank to the bottom in an instant. Victoria, she...

No, it can't be!

Victoria's body is usually so healthy, she will definitely wake up within ten days or half a month!

In the quiet ward, Jack's clear and cold face showed no emotion, as if he had been stripped of all his emotions. After an unknown amount of time, he mechanically lifted his legs and walked step by step to the bedside.

The girl who had been laughing, laughing, and kissing him intimately a few days ago, so bright, free, enthusiastic, and lively, was lying motionless on the hospital bed, silent as if there was no trace of life...

His eyelashes trembled slightly as he sat stiffly beside the bed, gently holding the girl's pale and delicate hand. Although he knew she couldn't feel it at this moment, his movements were still careful, as if he were treating the most precious treasure in the world...

Ralph watched this scene, his eyebrows suddenly sank, and he turned and walked out of the ward.

Michael almost immediately knew what he was going to do and glanced back at his sister on the bed, clenched his fists, turned, and followed him out of the ward.

...

In the dim and damp warehouse.

The air was filled with a pungent and heavy smell of blood.

Duke, covered in blood and barely alive, lay on the ground, his limbs twisted in a way that ordinary people couldn't achieve, clearly broken. There were deep wounds all over his body, with bones visible, and bloody broken bones were dug out, leaving only a breath of life hanging on.

When Ralph and Michael came in, they saw Duke looking like a dead mouse.

After saying that, he took out his phone and directly showed Duke a video of Wayne treating Victoria with acupuncture. He said expressionlessly, "This is the process of Wayne treating Victoria."

Seeing Wayne in the video, Duke's eyes widened, his back molars were about to shatter, and he shouted in a low growl, "So, Wayne has already cured Victoria?!"

What else could he use to threaten Mason and make him give him the entire Preston family?

"Duke, you no longer have any leverage,"

Michael looked at him like he was looking at an ant on the verge of death, his words pressing on, "Wayne said it himself, with your medical skills, you can't cure Victoria at all. You're just trying to use this as blackmail to seize control of the Preston family, we all know your plan, now, what do you have to say?"

With each sentence from Michael, Duke's face became more terrified.

Wayne had cured Victoria, which meant that he had lost his leverage to threaten Mason and take over the Preston family.

More importantly, if he lost his bargaining chip, could he still save his life?

Even more importantly, now that he had lost his leverage, could he still hold onto his life...

Veins bulged on Duke's forehead, his eyes bloodshot, and he cursed with almost desperate anger, "That old bastard Wayne Turner! It's all his fault for ruining my plan!! I couldn't cure Victoria, so what?! I wanted her dead a long time ago! Including you, all of you from the Preston family should die!!"

He wasn't stupid. After taking advantage of Victoria's illness and getting the Preston family, why would he want to treat Victoria and make her wake up? What a joke! All he wanted was to exterminate them and take revenge on everyone in the Preston family!

So, from the beginning, he never thought of really waking up Victoria. He just wanted her to remain unconscious forever!

Listening to Duke's admission that he couldn't cure Victoria, Ralph's face became so dark, his gaze like a sharp blade, "Duke, this time, you really have no leverage left..."

His life, even if he died ten thousand times, wouldn't be enough to make up for it!
