Chapter 103

When Dr. Campbell said that, the faces of the three brothers inantly went pale as paper.

The three daughters-in-law also felt absolutely crushed, their hearts heavy with worry.

In their family, there was no scheming or backstabbing.

And definitely no mother-in-law and and daughter-in-law drama. Their mother-in-law was a real powerhouse, never one to get tangled up in petty household squabbles, and she had always treated her daughters-in-law just like her own daughters.

Now, hearing this news, everyone was devastated.

It hit them like a thunderbolt.

Victor’s legs nearly buckled, and he almost passed out on the spot. Thankfully, Joel and Lawrence rushed to steady him. “Careful, Victor!”

Victor barely managed to stay on his feet. “Dr. Campbell, is my mom really in such a critical state?”

“I’m sorry,” Dr. Campbell said, bowing to Oliver. “I did my best, but my skills just aren’t enough. I’m sorry if I disappointed you.”

‘Seriously? Not skilled enough? Victor thought, his mind reeling

Dr. Campbell had a PhD from a world-class med school.

He’d picked up tons of medical awards along the way, and even had patents for several breakthrough drugs.

If he wasn’t that good, their family would’ve never made him the head honcho at their hospital.

Anyone could see what was really going on.

It wasn’t that Dr. Campbell lacked skills. It was that Mrs. Berenson’s injuries were so bad that even a world-class doctor like him was completely helpless.

Dr. Campbell continued, “Victor, you should get everyone back as soon as possible to say their goodbyes. If you wait too long, it might be…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was crystal clear.

Mrs. Berenson might only have a few days left.

Everyone knew that old age eventually caught up with everyone, but facing it now was still too much for them to handle.

This was just too sudden.

Besides, Mrs. Berenson had always been healthy.

Lawrence grabbed Dr. Campbell’s hand, his voice shaking. “Dr. Campbell, you know so many top doctors. Isn’t there anyone out there who can save my mom? She’s the backbone of our family. None of us are ready to let her go. She hasn’t even met my little sister or Arie yet. She can’t leave us with so many regrets!”

The brothers just couldn’t let their mother pass away with unfinished business weighing on her heart.

Eliana jumped in, “Yeah, Dr. Campbell. With all the medical experts you know, is there really no one who can help my mother-in-law? Whatever it costs, our family will do it.”

“She’s right, Verena added. “Dr. Campbell, if there’s any way to save my mother-in-law, we’ll pay any price.

Dr. Campbell looked conflicted. “Well, it’s not that I’m unwilling to help Mrs. Berenson, but her injuries are just too severe. At this point, her condition is beyond saving… unless…”

At the end of his sentence, Dr. Campbell suddenly changed his tone.

Victor demanded, “Unless what?”

Dr. Campbell continued, “Unless we can find the Divine Doctor. He’s a true master of the Needle Crossing technique. Mrs. Berenson’s condition inside her skull is so complicated that surgery isn’t even an option. Honestly, in this whole world, only the Divine Doctor might be able to use the needle to draw out the clots.”

The Divine Doctor was like a god in the medical world.

Rumor had it that his needle could make flesh grow on bare bones.

He could heal the dead and bring life back to lifeless bones.

But about a year ago, the Divine Doctor just dropped off the radar, and disappeared from the medical scene completely.

He’d vanished without a trace.

Even when someone overseas put up a 30 million bounty, nobody could find him, no matter the price.

As soon as he said that, everyone fell into a strange, heavy silence.

Jessica frowned. “But the Divine Doctor is like a legend. You hear about him, but never actually see him. With all this happening so suddenly, do you really think we can find him?”

Dr. Campbell let out a long sigh. “That’s why I said, unless a miracle happens, Mrs. Berenson’s situation is truly dire.”

Jessica pressed on, “I remember the Divine Doctor’s disciple, Professor Sloan, is amazing too. Do you think we could here?”

Professor Sloan.

He was the Divine Doctor’s sole apprentice, and pretty much the top dog in the medical world.

him

Dr. Campbell shook his head. “Professor Sloan may have inherited much of the Divine Doctor’s teachings, but the Needle Crossing technique is incredibly profound and elusive. Even now, he still hasn’t truly grasped its core secrets.”

That was why, even internationally, people had offered a 30 million reward just to get the Divine Doctor to come out of retirement.

As soon as they heard that, everyone in the family looked crestfallen.

Eliana couldn’t help but ask, “Is the Needle Crossing technique really that tough? Even Professor Sloan can’t pull it off?”

Dr. Campbell nodded. “The Needle Crossing technique isn’t just about being a top doctor. You also have to understand a lot of things. That’s why, in the whole world, only the Divine Doctor can actually use this legendary skill.”

Verena spoke up, “Even if that’s true, Professor Sloan is the Divine Doctor’s personal disciple anyway. Let’s at least have him come over and check things out.”

Victor nodded. “Verena’s right. Mom’s in a critical state. Whether Professor Sloan knows the Needle Crossing technique or not, he’s the Divine Doctor’s personal disciple. Who knows, maybe he’ll find some way to help.”

With that, Oliver turned to Lawrence. “I’m trusting you to handle getting Professor Sloan here.”

“Leave it to me, Victor,” Felix replied.

Meanwhile, Nerissa was

Suddenly, a rush of anxiety hit her, and her phone slipped from her hand, crashing to the floor.

Bang!

Faye, who’d been posip

hurried over. “Nerissa, what’s wrong?”

Nerissa pressed her fingers to her temples. “I don’t know what’s up, but my heart feels heavy, like something major is about to go down.”

Honestly, it was just plain weird.

She’d never felt anything like this before.

Faye stopped posing and quickly bent down to pick up the phone. “Maybe it’s just you getting used to being in Minttown? Come on, let’s sit down for a minute. I’ll keep you company.”

“Okay,” Nerissa nodded, trying to shake off the weird feeling.

The wind down by the port was really whipping around them.

After a few minutes, Faye leaned over and asked, “Hey Nerissa, feeling any better now?”

“Yeah, way better,” Nerissa said, grabbing her phone again. “Fifi, let me snap a few more shots for you.”

“Sure,” Faye grinned.

Even though Nerissa kept a smile on

It was like she was on the verge of losing

face, there was this hollow feeling inside her as she took the photos.

Soing that truly mattered.

Back in Aosthorne,

Yvonne just got back from Kindowen.

She suddenly got a message from Verna.

As soon as she read the message, her heart eda

a beat.

‘Something hapened to Mrs. Berenson?!’ Yvonne thought, her mind spinning.

What a coincidence!

Yvonne was actually a close friend of Mrs. Sullivan. Thanks to an academic conference, she’d gotten to know Mrs. Berenson really well too.

As soon as she read Verena’s message, she called right away. “Hey Verena, what happened to your

mom?”

Verena’s voice was raspy and full of worry on the other end of the phone. “Aunt Yvonne, things aren’t looking good for my mom. The doctor said unless we can find the Divine Doctor, the one who knows the Needle Crossing technique, otherwise… she might not have much time left.”

Yvonne felt like she’d been hit by a bolt from the blue. “How could this be? Just the other day we were having tea together in Kindowen!”

This came out of nowhere.

Yvonne just couldn’t process it.

Verena explained, “My mom was always healthy. She only ended up like this because she took a fall on her way to pray for Charlotte and Arie. The doctors said she’s got blood clots in her brain that’s pressing on her nerves, so she’s been in a coma ever since. She’s too old to go through brain surgery… By the end, Verena could only let out a long, weary sigh.

Yvonne’s thoughts were all over the place, but then it suddenly at her. “The needle! Verena, did you just say the Needle Crossing technique could actually save your mom?”

If she remembered correctly, when she had that heart attack, it was Nerissa who had used the Needle Crossing Technique and saved her life!

“That’s right,” Verena nodded, “but the Needle Crossing technique is something only the Divine Doctor can do. We’ve already got his disciple, Professor Sloan, here, but all he can do is keep my mom’s condition from getting worse. He can’t clear out the blood clots in her brain. So, Aunt Yvonne, if you have time, you’d better hurry over to Minttown and see her while you still can.”

‘Is this really goodbye?’ Yvonne thought, panic rising in her chest She just couldn’t accept it.

Yvonne said, her voice urgent, “Who says only the Divine Doctor can use the needle? I know another miracle doctor who can do it too!”
