Alan quickly got a technician over to pull up the security footage.
Oscar was shell-shocked upon noticing Hera's skillful needle placement in the footage. "That's the 13 Needles of Death technique!"
It had been more than 20 years since he last witnessed the 13 Needles of Death in action. Back then, a woman under the alias of Dr. Miracle was the one using it.
Dr. Miracle worked so skillfully that it had shocked Oscar to the core back then. Those who witnessed her at work would never be able to forget the sight.
Recently, news of the 13 Needles of Death resurfaced on the Divine Forum. Dr. Shadow, known as the best doctor on the forum, had brought it up in her medical dissertation on alternative medicine.
But Oscar had never seen Camille use that technique before. That was why he thought the technique didn't get passed down.
To think that he'd be able to see it getting replicated in the footage…
And it was used by a teenage girl, to boot!
"That's the legendary 13 Needles of Death?" Alan was shocked as well.
"Yes! Is she still in the ward? Quick, take me to her!" Oscar exclaimed, his face now lit up.
A talented doctor like Hera was extremely difficult to find nowadays.
"She has already left. Apparently, she's Mrs. Everett Senior's granddaughter," Alan replied.
"Take me to Mrs. Everett Senior, then!" Oscar urged.
…
Meanwhile, another conversation was going on in Mildred's ward.
"Did you really seek Dr. Shadow out?" Mildred gazed at Lilith suspiciously.
"Yes, I did. But the Gaskells' bodyguards stopped me from entering the ward."
Lilith recalled what had happened to her earlier when she was looking for Dr. Shadow. She didn't even get to open Lennon's ward door, let alone see the esteemed doctor in person. The Gaskells' bodyguard had wasted no time in stopping her.
When the bodyguards found out that Lilith was a member of the Everett family, they told her to get lost without even bothering to report to Lennon.
Both Gino and Lilith were speechless by Mildred's double-faced antics.
"Mrs. Everett Senior, Dr. Bloom specially came here to visit you. How are you feeling right now? Better, perhaps?" Alan explained.
Mildred couldn't help but feel smug and vain upon hearing Alan's words. After all, the director of the prestigious Pineview Hospital personally dropped by to visit her. Not many patients had the honor of being visited by Oscar.
Then, Mildred focused on feeling every part of her body. Ever since she woke up, her head no longer hurt, nor was her lower back constantly sore. In fact, she was filled with vigor and energy.
"I feel a lot better now. This is my first time feeling so energetic ever since I got hospitalized. Thank you for dropping by just to visit me, Dr. Bloom."
Once again, Gino was speechless.
No wonder Mildred was able to throw so many fits in one day.
Oscar chuckled before replying, "There's no need to thank me. You should be thanking your granddaughter instead."
"What?" Mildred was perplexed.
