Brigham shouted, "You don't understand medicine, and you dare to perform acupuncture on my grandfather? I'm calling the police. You're going to jail."
As the crowd realized Yolanda didn't know medicine, they voiced their concerns and criticisms.
"Young lady, matters of life and death should never be taken lightly."
"Learning to lie for money at such a young age? What's going to happen when she grows up? Call the police and get her arrested!"
"Someone who has been sent to a juvenile detention center definitely has poor character."
"She should be locked up again so she doesn't cause more harm."
…
Yolanda ignored the criticisms from the onlookers. She assessed the time and then removed the acupuncture needles from Nigel's acupoints one by one.
When the last acupuncture needle was taken out, Nigel coughed violently, and his breathing became noticeably easier.
"It's over. Someone's going to die," Alice gleefully shouted.
"Be quiet," Brigham sternly reprimanded her and quickly checked on Nigel's condition.
"Grandpa! Grandpa, are you okay?"
Yolanda took out a black pill and offered it to Brigham. "Let your grandfather take this pill, and his symptoms will ease."
However, Brigham grabbed the pill from Yolanda's hand and threw it away. "My grandfather has no grudge against you. Why are you trying to harm him?"
Paul was eager to stir trouble and urged, "Call the police! Hurry up and get her arrested!"
If Yolanda were to be taken away by the police now, Paul wouldn't have to wait for the results of the entrance exam for First Academy. He could directly take Yolanda's place.
At that moment, the distant wail of an approaching ambulance siren grew louder.
