car,” said the assistant as he headed towards the underground parking lot
“Wait here. I’ll go get the youn with the bags.
Meanwhile, Magnus walked out of the mall with his hands behind his back.
Isabelle, who had just left Maven Apothecary with a large bag of medicinal herbs, was about to hail a taxi
to her hotel when she noticed a crowd gathered at the entrance of the mall,
Someone in the crowd shouted, “He’s not going to make it
“Whose father is this? Where are his children? How could they let him go out alone when he’s ill? Someone, please call 911
Isabelle peered through the crowd and saw an old man lying on the ground, his face contorted in pain.
So, she pushed through the crowd to get closer.
The old man was lying on the ground. His limbs were rigid, his fingers were clawed, and his face was slowly becoming stiff. It seemed as if the corner of his lips were about to droop as well.
These were symptoms of a stroke.
“Please step back to allow air circulation, Isabelle calmly said, setting down her things and squatting down.
“What are you doing, young lady? You can’t just touch him if you’re not his relative. If something goes wrong, it could be fatal.
Isabelle ignored the comment, pulled down the old man’s lower eyelid to take a look, and felt his pulse with two fingers.
“Gosh, this young lady is a doctor,”
“She’s so young, so she can’t be! She must be a medical student. Gosh, she’s so young, and yet she dares to treat people.”
“I think he’s having a stroke and this is not a minor issue. This old man was paralyzed after falling and having a stroke.”
After diagnosing the old man, Isabelle took out her acupuncture kit from her bag.
The onlookers initially wanted to stop Isabelle from touching the old man, but once they saw that she knew medicine, they did not say anything more. However, when Isabelle took out a long, thin silver needle, they all gasped in shock.
Just as she was about to insert the needle into the old man’s head, a muscular man who frequented the gym jumped out to stop her, “What are you doing?”
Isabelle easily avoided his hand. Then, with a flash of cold gleam in her eyes, she inserted the silver needle into the top of the old man’s head.
The crowd gasped in surprise. A lot of them steppehack, fearing that they would be implicated if

something happened to the old man
The muscular man, who had missed his target, turned around to see that Isabelle had inserted the needle. When Isabelle was about to insert a second needle, he tried to stop her again.
Although he meant well, Isabelle found him to be a nuisance. So when he reached out to grab her again, Isabelle Sipped the silver needle in her hand and pricked him between his thumb and index finger.
Isabelle moved so fast that the crowd did not see what had happened. They only heard the muscular man cry out in pain, and then his entire arm went limp as if his tendons had been removed.
The muscular man screamed in pain as he held his numb and painful arm. His face was filled with terror, successfully scaring the crowd back a few steps.
“What did she do to that guy?”
“This young lady seems legit, but can she be so skilled at such a young age? Acupuncture is not as simple as Western medicine.”
“She’s carrying a bag from Maven Apothecary, so do you think she’s Mr. Garth’s disciple?”
Tve seen Mr. Garth perform acupuncture, but he’s not as casual as she is. She’ll get into trouble if she accidentally kills him.”
Young people are too reckless.”
The crowd discussed and pointed at Isabelle, commenting on her actions. In the time it took for them to gossip, they noticed that the old man’s head and arm had been pricked with more than a dozen needles.
In addition to the muscular man screaming in pain next to her, the scene was quite shocking.
Some of the people in the crowd shook their heads, thinking that this young lady had gotten herself into big trouble.
However, no one noticed that the old man’s face had relaxed until his drooping mouth began to return to normal.
“Hey, look, his mouth isn’t drooped anymore.”
Then, to the crowd’s surprise, the old man’s rigid limbs slowly softened, and he was able to make a fist and kick his leg.
ron
His piercing headache gradually subsided, and Magnus opened his eyes to see a young girl focusing on
him.
“Young lady?
“Hey, he’s talking, he’s talking!”
The crowd, which had initially backed away, immediately gathered around again.
“This young lady is so amazing. The old man was about to have a stroke, but after a few needles, he’s fine.”
The crowd gave Isabelle thumbs up one after another.

A few minutes later, Isabelle began to remove the needles, starting with the first one on the top of the old man’s head. After all the needles were removed, Isabelle told the old man. “Lie down for three more minutes before getting up.
After that, she walked toward the muscular man, who was still screaming hoarsely in pain.
After the girl danced her silver needles around the man’s neck, he instantly quieted down as if nothing had happened.
The onlookers gasped in astonishment.
Their gaze toward Isabelle shifted from suspicion to surprise, admiration, and finally, awe.
The young assistant pushed through the crowd, and upon seeing Magnus lying on the ground, he jumped in fright and hurriedly checked on him. “Mr. Burton!”
Magnus, having recovered from his severe headache, was helped up by his assistant. Then, he quickly asked his assistant to stop Isabelle, who had walked some distance away.
Isabelle turned around, her face slightly cold. “What?”
She subconsciously thought that the assistant was trying to frame her.
In the end, Isabelle got into the old man’s car and arrived at his home.
The old man warmly welcomed Isabelle into his home. He seemed to be in high spirits, unlike someone who had just had a health scare and nearly suffered a stroke. After that, he instructed his housekeeper to prepare more dishes. While they were on the way back home, the assistant had learned what had happened, but he did not trust young Isabelle. So, after serving her tea, he began to persuade the old man to go to the hospital for a check–up.
The old man seemed fine now, but the assistant was worried that problems might arise later.”
“No need, no need. I know my body. I’m feeling great now” Magnus patted his chest.
However, the assistant was still persisting, so Magnus, fearing that Isabelle would be displeased, put on a stern face and successfully silenced the assistant.
Upon seeing this, Isabelle remained silent. Shortly after, she picked up a pen and paper from the table and began writing.
After two minutes, she handed Magnus a prescription. “Take this prescription to Maven Apothecary and ask Mr. Garth to prepare the medicine for you.”
After reading it, Magnus asked Isabelle. “Young lady, what is your relationship with Mr. Garth? I have never heard of him having a female disciple.”
Isabelle replied, “We’re just friends.”
“Friend?” Magnus’s eyes widened in surprise, his voice rising.
He was astonished that such a young girl could be friends with Mr. Garth.
