The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Gold Needles

Rory didn’t worry anymore and was in much better spirits.

Sure enough, he was over the moon.

During lunch, the smile never left his face.

Seeing her family getting better and better, Scarlett felt warm and at peace.

After lunch, she went to her room to check on Daphne.

Daphne was clean, and her complexion looked much better than when she had been staying at the rehabilitation hospital.

Hendrix had taken great care of her.

Scarlett leaned down and kissed Daphne on the cheek.

“Mom, wake up soon, okay?”

When Daphne woke up and learned the truth, Scarlett would make sure Matthew paid for what he had done.

Even though she knew Daphne becoming a vegetable was related to Matthew, she didn’t have any

evidence.

Scarlett sat with Daphne for quite a while, talking to her.

She talked about herself, about Rory, about Hendrix.

She only shared the good things.

After talking for a while, Scarlett went to get her gold needles and prepared to start treatment.

The set of gold needles had been passed down through the Sanchezes for generations.

After Patrick passed away, during the hardest period the family had faced, Hendrix had never once considered selling them.

Scarlett treated Daphne using the gold needles along with her spiritual energy, slowly repairing the damage inside Daphne’s skull.

She began inserting the needles.

Many of the points were dangerous pressure points.

As she worked, her spiritual energy flowed through the gold needles, gently stimulating the pressure points, traveling through the meridians, and repairing the damaged tissue inside Daphne’s brain,

Hendrix and Rory stayed outside and did not disturb Scarlett.

They never questioned why Scarlett’s medical skills were so extraordinary.

They only knew that she was amazing, that she could heal Daphne, and that they hoped she would stay safe and well.

An hour later, Scarlett walked out, her face pale.

The spiritual energy in her body had been completely drained.

After that, she came back every week to treat Daphne.

No one knew how long it would take for Daphne to wake up.

But with spiritual energy combined with needle therapy, there was still great hope.

As Scarlett’s cultivation level rose, the chances of Daphne’s recovery would increase.

For the past few days, she had been able to sense that her cultivation was on the verge of a breakthrough, yet she just couldn’t push through.

Scarlett couldn’t help muttering to herself again.

“Has something happened to the laws of heaven?”

She truly felt that something was off with the laws of heaven.

It was subtle and hard to describe. Cultivators usually had a sense of connection with heaven and earth.

Yet she felt nothing at all.

Because of that, both her daily cultivation and any attempt to break through had become especially difficult.

Scarlett stayed home for two days.

She felt relaxed being with her family, and she liked it.

During those two days, she completely repaired the chemist room in the yard. It was decorated with carved beams and painted details, full of old–world charm.

It just hadn’t been sealed with varnish yet.

Scarlett told Hendrix, “Dad, next Wednesday, put a coat of varnish on the chemist room. Anything made

of wood should be sealed.”

Varnish would protect the wood and extend its lifespan.

It would also make the grain look more beautiful.

It had been raining these past few days, and next Wednesday would finally bring several sunny days.

That would be the right time to paint.

Hendrix nodded. “Got it. Don’t worry about home. Just head back and focus on school.”

Scarlett returned to Brookriver City on Sunday afternoon.

That evening, Elliot brought Janessa over.

Scarlett gave Janessa her second needle therapy session and applied a thick layer of medicinal paste to her face.

After most of the paste had been absorbed, Janessa noticed that the burn scars on her face had improved even more. From a distance, they were almost invisible.

She was so overwhelmed that she nearly cried and kept thanking Scarlett.

Elliot also thanked her. “Scarlett, I need to thank you too. If you hadn’t come to me back then, Zayden would still be the male lead in my movie.”

Zayden had been the original male lead in the film he was preparing.

When Scarlett had come to him and shown him evidence that Zayden had abused his ex–girlfriend, Elliot had replaced him.

The new male lead was a newcomer from the same company as Scarlett.

If Zayden hadn’t been replaced, his temper would have caused trouble sooner or later.

And sure enough, he had recently assaulted Hazel.

Scarlett smiled. “Mr. Lloyd, you don’t have to thank me. Back then, I was looking out for my own interests.

too.”

At the time, she had also been fighting for the role of third female lead.

Janessa still needed two more weeks of needle therapy.

She just had to come once a week.

Scarlett had about 10 days left before school started.

She was about to begin 12th grade.

Her 12th grade program was at a private school, which started later than most others.

She had about 10 days of vacation left.

During those 10 days, she didn’t plan to take on any entertainment industry work.

She wanted to focus entirely on her cultivation and see if she could finally break through.

Sure enough, early Monday morning, Cedric, the company’s manager, called her.

“Scarlett, school’s starting soon for you, right? When the second season of Faces of the Crowd airs, you’ll probably be in school and won’t be able to join regularly. I’ll talk to Mr. Woods and have him find another

permanent cast member. You can stay on as a special guest. Come when you have time. If you don’t, that’s fine too.”

Scarlett replied, “Okay. Thanks, Mr. Joyner. And since I only have 10 days before school starts, please don’t schedule any work for me during that time.”
