The underworld queen come back and slays novel Chapter 417

Chapter 417 Two Figures

Helena, who had been lying still with her eyes shut, suddenly snapped them open. Blood trickled from the corner of her lips.

“Ms. Rickard!” Everyone from Lunshire was horrified.

Aurelia rushed forward in a panic to catch Helena. She saw Helena straining to move her eyes, her pale lips parting slightly as if she wanted to say something.

But before a word came out, Helena passed out again.

The doctors present were astounded.

John was the most accomplished student of Ethan and a towering figure in the global medical community. It was said there were barely any conditions he couldn’t treat.

And judging from his tone just now, he was absolutely confident he could heal Helena.

Hence, the other doctors could understand why Helena had coughed up blood after just one needle.

Even Ellie stood frozen in disbelief.

Her mentor–the man she had admired and respected most–had already been humiliated in the royal palace when Raven accurately predicted the princess’s condition would worsen after his acupuncture. But the same was happening again with Helena.

For the first time, doubt crept into Ellie’s heart, shaking her convictions.

Meanwhile, Aurelia quickly reached behind Helena’s ear to check her temperature.

Confirming that Helena was still breathing, she heaved a sigh of relief.

But in the next moment, she whipped her head around, her face darkening as she glared at John.

“Dr. Kidman, what’s going on? Didn’t you say acupuncture would alleviate Ms. Rickard’s symptoms? Why did she cough up blood?” demanded Aurelia.

John also panicked at the sight of Helena’s worsening condition. Logically, what he had done was only supposed to promote circulation and relieve blockages. At worst, it just wouldn’t help. It shouldn’t have caused Helena to vomit blood. Aurelia’s expression grew graver. “Dr. Kidman, what is the meaning of this? You owe Lunshire an explanation!”

All the other doctors turned to look at John.

None of them had expected someone of his status to mess up.

They couldn’t help but wonder if John was as good as they thought.

John felt the dou stares bearing down on him and forced himself to stay calm.

He looked at Helena’s pale face, then sighed and said, “Ms. Rickard’s condition is far more severe than I thought. Plus, the exhaustion from traveling has left her incredibly weak. If I’d had the chance to treat her two days earlier, maybe things would’ve been different.”

The people of Lunshire all held their breath at his words.

Aurelia’s gaze turned icy, her expression hardening as she stared at Ethan Reed.

Before she could say anything, John added, “But… I do know someone whose medical skills surpass mine. At this point, she’s the only one who might be able to save Ms. Rickard.”

“Who?” Arelia asked with a frown.

John replied, “I said it downstairs. Dr. Valor is more skilled than I am. But it was your side that insisted only doctors with a A–Level invitation or higher were allowed to treat Ms. Rickard. She probably hasn’t gone far yet.”

Back downstairs, he was just jealous of Raven and wanted to teach her a lesson.

And now, it seemed like a perfect opportunity for that.

As long as Raven agreed to treat Helena, whether she succeeded or not wouldn’t be his problem anymore.

Then she remembered how, from the very first glance, she had sensed that Raven wasn’t ordinary. Hence, she took John’s words for it.
