The Wolf’s Bride by Coffee’s Tea novel Chapter 3

A countdown?!

What did it mean?

The Crestfalls and Dr. Artemis looked at Andrius in confusion.

At the next second, someone said, “Look! Look at Master Crestfall!”

Everyone turned around.

Master Crestfall’s body twitched violently again and black blood spewed from his mouth. After spewing a few mouthfuls of blood, his face turned ghastly pale immediately. He fell onto the teak wood bed and lost consciousness.

The Crestfalls were frightened. They cried, “Dr. Artemis, hurry up and check on Master Crestfall!”

“Let me have a look.”

Dr. Artemis immediately checked on Master Crestfall’s condition and performed all the necessary procedures to save the man.

However, no matter how many more needles he poked into Master Crestfall, it did not reverse the condition. Instead, the needles started to mess up Master Crestfall’s blood circulation, causing black blood to seep from his nose.

Dr. Artemis grew so anxious that he sweated profusely and paled.

He realized he had made a terrible mistake! Consequently, his name and reputation would be ruined, and his mistake would claim Master Crestfall’s life!

He collapsed to the ground in disbelief and horror as his hands and legs grew weak.

Then, he suddenly thought of what Andrius said earlier. He turned to the young man immediately.

Andrius barely reacted to the sudden turn of events as if everything was within expectation.

Dr. Artemis got up and went over. He held Andrius's hand and begged, “Young man, please save Master Crestfall!”

The scene shocked every one of the Crestfalls.

Under everyone’s astonished gazes, Andrius said calmly, “You are the one who claimed you had the experience and were more qualified to save Master Crestfall. Now that Master Crestfall’s life is hanging by a thread, you want me to clean up your mess for you?”

“I…” Dr. Artemis was deeply embarrassed. “I was blind before. Please forgive me and save Master Crestfall!”

“Fine.”

Andrius went up to the bed and took a glance at the dying Master Crestfall.

Master Crestfall had saved his master before, so he could not just let the man die. Otherwise, his master would strangle him to death!

Andrius turned to Dr. Artemis and said, “Needles.”

Dr. Artemis opened his bag and searched for the right needle.

Harry went up to Dr. Artemis and asked under his breath, “Dr. Artemis, are you really going to let him do acupuncture for my father?”

“We have no other choice!” Dr. Artemis pulled out a roll of brand-new needles and handed them to Andrius.

Andrius shook his head. “It’s not enough.”

Dr. Artemis was stunned. “In acupuncture, we usually use 36 needles…”

Before Dr. Artemis could finish, Andrius said, “Master Crestfall is already having his foot in the grave. I have to use the legendary Hades’ Pin to save him.”

Dr. Artemis was once again flabbergasted and stiffened.

The term "Hades’ Pin" was like a clap of thunder echoing in his ears.

As the famous doctor in Sumeria, Dr. Artemis knew what exactly the Hades’ Pin method was. It was one of the lost techniques in acupuncture, practiced by ancient doctors. It was said that the method could save anyone who was dying.

Unfortunately, ancient scriptures only recorded pieces and bits of the method. No one knew what or how to use the Hades’ Pin method on a dying patient.

That was why he was shocked to hear that the young man wanted to save Master Crestfall’s life with the Hades’ Pin method.

Dr. Artemis pulled out another roll of silver needles and handed them to Andrius swiftly.

Andrius's hands moved at lightning speed. He held more than a dozen needles in his hands and poked them into Master Crestfall’s body accurately.

The scene left Dr. Artemis’ jaw open. Acupuncture demanded high precision and an exact amount of strength from the performer. Each position was different, and each needle must be poked with a different amount of strength. The demand for concentration and the control of strength from a doctor was extremely rigid.
