The underworld queen come back and slays novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416 A Deep Connection

Raven froze in her tracks the moment she saw the boy.

The boy’s delicate features and elegance made him stand out from the children of the Sunset Empire.

What truly shook her was the strange feeling that bubbled up as she looked at the handsome boy, which felt like a connection rooted deep in her blood.

Meanwhile, in one of the rooms on the second floor of the villa behind Raven, a pale and weak woman lay quietly on the bed with her eyes closed.

Her once refined features had been distorted by swelling, stripping away her former elegance. Her normally smooth silver hair lay scattered on the pillow like dry straw.

Anyone who saw her in this state would find it hard to believe she was Helena Rickard, the third most beautiful woman in the world.

“Dr. Kidman, please check on Ms. Rickard.” The woman who had led the doctors upstairs looked anxiously at John with a mix of desperation and faint hope on her face.

She thought, ‘A few doctors holding A–Level invitations already examined Ms. Rickard, and none could treat her. If even Dr. Kidman couldn’t help her…‘

Aurelia dared not imagine what might happen. If something went wrong with Helena, she knew she wouldn’t be able to escape blame.

John sat calmly beside the bed, placing his hand on Helena’s pulse as he looked at the woman and assured her, “Don’t worry. I’ll do my best.”

Despite his words, the confidence in his expression was unmistakable.

From the moment he first saw Helena, he was already ninety percent sure her condition was due to excess cold energy damaging her body. He said, “Don’t worry. Ms. Rickard’s condition is well within my expertise.”

Aurelia and the other doctors were visibly impressed and started commending John.

“From the looks of it, Dr. Kidman already had a firm grasp on Ms. Rickard’s condition.”

“A condition that left us all helpless–Dr. Kidman probably identified the cause at a glance. Truly, he lives up to his reputation as the most outstanding student of the legendary Dr. Reed!”

“Ms. Rickard is truly fortunate to have encountered Dr. Kidman soon after arriving in the Sunset Empire. She’s practically guaranteed to recover now.”

Ellie, who had come upstairs with John as his assistant, let out a heavy sigh of relief.

After all, Lunshire was the fourth most powerful organization in the world. If John could cure the leader, his future would be set for life. And as John’s student, Ellie’s value would rise as well.

Feeling quite pleased, she turned to Aurelia and said, “Rest assured. Dr. Kidman is nothing like that quack. With him here, nothing will go wrong.”

Aurelia’s eyes lit up with joy at Ellie’s words.

She was thrilled that Helena might really be saved.

Overcome with emotion, she gripped Ellie’s hand and said, “Thank you! Thank you so much!”

What she didn’t notice was that John’s face grew tense as he was checking Helena’s pulse. His earlier confidence started

to waver.

He had thought Helena was simply suffering from excess cold energy.

But her pulse was bizarre. He had never encountered such a situation before. It was definitely more than just cold energy!

“Dr. Kidman, how is Ms. Rickard?” asked Aurelia.

John wiped the sweat from his brow and forced himself to respond. “Ms. Rickard has an extremely cold co itution. Cold energy has entered her body and likely caused a blockage in her meridians, which could result in organ failure.

“I’ll need to use acupuncture to stimulate her blood flow. Once that’s done, she should regain sensation in her limbs. Please prepare a set of tools to disinfect the needles.”

As soon as he finished speaking, an attendant brought over the disinfection tools.
