The Great Medical Saint novel Chapter 53

Hope was too slim, and Leah had little faith in her heart. She gritted her teeth, held her breath, and nervously watched as Matthew performed an acupuncture.

It was as though she was doing more than Matthew himself.

Matthew grasped the handle of the acupuncture needle, gently twisted it, and withdrawed it slowly.

Crimson blood started emerging from the tip of the tongue, making the scene rather alarming.

Jeffrey sneered from the sidelines. "Do you even know acupuncture? There's blood coming out. I've never seen it done like that."

Matthew remained unfazed, intensely focused as he inserted the silver needle into an acupoint. He then inserted the needle into the stomach meridian at ST 6 and the liver meridian at LR 3.

His movements were swift as he inserted one needle after another, making it hard to keep up. In the blink of an eye, over 20 silver needles were in place.

Matthew let out a long breath. "It's all done."

Done?

There was no response from James, so how could it be that it was done?

Jeffrey couldn't help but sneer. "The patient was a vegetable before treatment, and he's still one after. You call that done?"

Rachel's face was clouded with worry as she continued to examine every part of James' body. There was no movement in his fingers, legs, or mouth—not even a flutter of his eyelashes.

Rachel saw no signs of him waking up.

"Wake up, honey. Please wake up. We still have so much life ahead of us. You can't leave me," Leah repeated anxiously.
