Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 7

Sebastian walked up to the sick bed and sat down next to it. Then, he checked Elijah's pulse.

Because the three-day period was almost up, Elijah had fallen unconscious again. Things weren't looking up for him.

Matt and Herb were watching from the side. Even now, they still didn't believe Sebastian could cure Elijah.

After all, they had already made the diagnosis. Elijah was close to death, and they couldn't do anything to save him.

Elijah had been able to live for another three days, but it only meant that the special medicine he took that day was potent enough. However, there was no proof that Sebastian was the one who made the special medicine.

Ronan and Lillian were very anxious. When they saw Sebastian frowning, they felt their hearts leaping up into their throats.

Elijah wasn't only their kin but was also the Smith family's backbone.

If Elijah died, it would be a huge hit to the Smith family.

Noticing that Sebastian was done checking Elijah's pulse, Lillian hastily asked, "How is it? Is there hope for my grandpa?"

"As long as he still has breath in him, I can save him. Don't worry," Sebastian assured her.

"Keep boasting, kid. If even I can't save him, what can a young man like you possibly do? What can you even rely on?" Matt had a look of disdain on his face.

"My capabilities, of course. If you can't do it, it just means you don't deserve your fame," Sebastian retorted mercilessly.

"What? How dare you say that about me?"

Matt was furious. In the past, everyone treated him with respect and called him a miracle doctor, but now, Sebastian was saying he didn't deserve his fame at all. How infuriating!

Matt smiled despite his anger. "Alright, then. Let's see how you can cure Elijah. If you can do it, I'll live stream myself doing a handstand and eating crap!"

Sebastian scoffed. "You're as disgusting as they come. Still, I'm looking forward to it."

"Quit the nonsense. You can start now," Matt said, snorting.

"Get a good look, then."

As Sebastian spoke, he took out a box and opened it. Within the box were nine needles of varying lengths.

Sebastian undid the patient's clothes. Picking up a needle, he flicked his fingers, sending the needle into the patient's CV 6.

"The Flying Acupuncture!"

Herb instantly widened his eyes with shock and disbelief.

Matt had a shocked and disbelieving look on his face as well. He looked stunned as if he had just spotted an alien.

Seeing Herb's shocked reaction, Lillian asked curiously, "Mr. Clinton, is the Flying Acupuncture really that amazing?"

Herb unblinkingly watched Sebastian perform the acupuncture. "It's more than amazing. It's the most brilliant technique in acupuncture, and even I can't do it."

"He just perfected it by practicing. Techniques are useless. They only look good but are not much use." Steven had a disdainful look on his face.

"No." Herb shook his head. "This isn't about practice. Flying Acupuncture requires the person to control the needles with vital energy.

"Anyone who has mastered this technique must have outstanding medical skills. I have misjudged him."

While the others were speaking, Sebastian had already inserted six needles into the patient's body. Then, he reached out a hand and pressed it on the patient's body.

Right after that, an unbelievable scene unfolded before the crowd. The six needles in the patient's body began to sway slightly, and they quickly turned black.

Lillian's expression was filled with shock. It was only then she realized Sebastian had taken off her clothes a few days ago not to take advantage of her, but because it was necessary for the treatment.

After about a minute, Elijah slowly opened his eyes.

"Dad, you're awake."

"Grandpa."

The Smiths hastily gathered around Elijah. Lillian was so overwhelmed that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Dr. Ricky, thank you for saving me from the clutches of death." Elijah looked at Matt, tearing up.

In an instant, Matt felt deeply ashamed. He wished he could just disappear.

"It was this young man who had saved you," Herb explained.

"Him?"

Elijah examined Sebastian. Then, he shook his head. "Mr. Clinton, you have to be joking. He's so young; how could he possibly have saved me?"

"This is embarrassing to admit, but I also once thought of myself as a miracle doctor. It wasn't until I witnessed this young man's medical skills that I realized I was being too full of myself."

With that, Herb bowed toward Sebastian.

"Young man, I'm sorry to have misjudged you earlier. Please forgive me."
