Chapter 139 The True Pulse Condition Revealed

Whitney flicked her fingers again.

She yanked the pale blue sheet off.

The sheet dropped to the floor.

And there he was showing off his muscular physique.

His skin was bare and flawless. His muscles were clean, beautiful, and defined. Every line was smooth and irresistibly enchanting.

Ryan wasn’t a pretty face. He was the kind of guy who could ruin lives by being seen.

With a body like that and those killer abs, he could drive anyone wild.

Even though Ryan was sickly, he still kept his body in top shape.

Whitney clicked her tongue. She thought, ‘Damn, he is easy on the ‘Too bad that he’s about to turn into a human pincushion.’

Ryan was speechless.

He thought, ‘Did I catch a hint of disappointment.

‘Is she let down by my physique?

‘Even though I hadn’t been in the best of health these years, I’d always listened to Davis and kept up with my workouts to stay fit.

‘Maybe I haven’t been hitting the gym hard enough?’

Ryan was about to lift his hand and feel his abs.

His hand hadn’t moved yet.

Davis caught his hand and pressed it down. “Don’t move, you brat!”

The moment Davis finished speaking, Whitney swept her other hand.

The gleaming needles, almost as if they were alive, rose swiftly into the air, responding to Whitney’s touch.

They lined up neatly, as if soldiers awaited orders.

They landed one by one on Ryan’s body.

Davis was so blown away, and he couldn’t stop gasping and letting out amazed sounds.

He was the ultimate hype man for the scene.

All the needles were inserted into Ryan’s body. A few seconds passed, and those needles began to tremble.

Ryan’s body suddenly tensed up.

In the blink of an eye, all the color drained from his face, leaving him pale as paper, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

“Mentor, what’s happening?” Davis asked.

Davis, still holding Ryan’s hand, could feel Ryan’s body turning so cold that it felt like it went straight to the bone, all in a split second.

If Davis still couldn’t feel Ryan breathing, he would’ve thought that Ryan had kicked the bucket right then and there.

“I’m sure you’ve noticed, Ryan’s pulse is really strange,” Whitney said, making no move to continue with the needles. She stood by the bed, carefully studying Ryan’s face and current state.

Davis had been treating Ryan for years, so he knew every detail of Ryan’s condition.

He nodded. “His pulse feels like it’s hidden in a thick fog. No matter what method I use, I can’t get a clear sense of it. “Sometimes it seems weak, other times it’s as if it’s full of vitality. One moment it’s faint, the next it’s brimming with energy.”

This was the first time Davis had ever encountered such a bizarre pulse.

That was exactly why he’d become Ryan’s personal doctor.

“Check it again now,” Whitney nodded toward Ryan, gesturing for Davis to take his pulse.

Dav

quickly placed his hand on Ryan’s wrist, which was so pale and cold it looked almost as if it was fading away.

His fingers had only been on Ryan’s wrist for a few seconds, and his face changed dramatically. “This is…”

He thought, ‘The pulse was so weak, as if Ryan could drop dead at any second.

‘What is going on?’

He’d never felt such a dangerous pulse from Ryan before.

Whitney explained, “I used the Amethyst Needle to expel the thick fog that’s been sealed inside him. Then, I sealed off his energy pathways to stop any more of that fog from spreading.”

Expel the fog? Seal it off?’ Davis thought. He was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, realization dawned on him. “Mentor, you mean this brat isn’t weak because of his health, but because his body is being affected by a mysterious thing?”

No wonder Davis was a medical genius.

Just a few words from Whitney, and he instantly caught on.

Whitney lowered her gaze to Ryan, who lay on the bed, his face so pale and fragile it looked like he might disappear any second.

She nodded. “Exactly. Once his energy pathways are sealed, the energy can’t circulate, so that fog, or the mysterious thing inside him, stops spreading.

“Now his real pulse is finally coming to light.”

In plain words, Ryan’s weakness wasn’t because his organs or meridians were messed up. His body wasn’t failing because of any physical defect. It was all because something was lurking inside him.

That thing created a thick fog in his body, slowly eating away at his life force, making him weaker and weaker until he ended up as the sickly heartthrob he was.

But thanks to the Pierce family’s power behind him. They scoured the country for miracle doctors. No one could cure him completely, but plenty of extraordinary folks managed to keep that fog inside him from spreading out of control.

Take Davis, for instance. For years, Davis had been slowing down the growth of that fog for Ryan.

That’s how Ryan managed to snag a few extra years of life.

But still, all they could do was buy him some time.

The fog kept spreading inside him, bit by bit.

Ryan was getting weaker by the day.

Davis pressed his fingers to Ryan’s wrist again, his face darkening with every passing second. He couldn’t hide the worry in his voice as he asked, “Mentor, that thing inside him. What on earth is it?”

Whitney didn’t answer.

Instead, she picked up another needle, her eyes settling on Ryan’s chest.

Her slender fingers moved.

The needle slid smoothly into Ryan’s heart.

Davis’s eyes went wide. “Mentor.”

He thought, ‘That’s the heart.

‘One jab and his heart could stop!

‘He could drop dead right now!

But a second later, Davis snapped his mouth shut, the shock wiped right off his face.

His expression shifted, turning utterly serious and focused.

His hand was still pressed to Ryan’s wrist, feeling every beat.

The instant the needle slid into Ryan’s heart, Ryan’s pulse shifted again, and this time in a way that left Davis completely

stunned.

It was a pulse that felt ferociously strong: brutal, almost overwhelming.

But it was utterly wild, with no rhyme or reason to it at all.

It was as if some force were rampaging through every limb and bone in Ryan’s body.

Davis steadied himself, focusing all his attention as he probed deeper into Ryan’s pulse.

His expression grew increasingly grave, and in that instant, his eyes went wide with shock.

Davis murmured, “This is.

“Mentor, the thing hiding inside this brat. It’s a bug!” Davis’s voice was barely more than a whisper.

That’s right.

The thing that’s been draining Ryan’s life all this time. It’s a bug.

This bug had been living inside Ryan for more than ten years.

It had been feeding on Ryan’s life force all this time.

Normally, a bug like this would have finished him off in five years tops.

But thanks to all the legendary healers the Pierce family found, plus Davis’s help, they managed to clear out some of the poison left behind by the bug, suppress it, or seal it inside Ryan.

All that endless back-and-forth, all those desperate attempts were the only reason that Ryan was still breathing today.

If it weren’t for all that, he wouldn’t be alive, let alone rocking those killer abs.
