Facade

Alan’s forte lay within internal medicine, so he didn’t know much about acupuncture. As he looked at the points where the needles were inserted, he felt that Hera had pinpointed every needle correctly. Hence, he began to wonder about Hera’s identity. 

“Ouch! It hurts so much! She woke me up, you say? well, she certainly did that by stabbing me! 

Mildred showed lith away before plucking a needle out of her body. 

Hera didn’t say anything, nor did she stop Mildred 

“Oh, my God! Dr. Pittson, please give me a check–up right now! I feel so dizzy, and my heart palpitations are above the charts! Is that brat planning to kill me with her needles?” Mildred moaned in pain 

When Alan heard Mildred’s laments, all speculations about Hera’s medical skills vanished immediately. 

To him, saving Mildred’s life took priority. 

ked so fast that Lilith only managed to regain her senses a 

He yanked his wrist from Hera’s grip forcefully before removing all of the needles from Mildred’s body, In fact, he worked so while later. By then, it was already too late for her to stop the doctor. 

“Hera, will your grandma be alright?” Lilith gazed at Hera worriedly. 

Hera hated it the most whenever her patients refused to cooperate with the treatment process. She put her silver needles away before snapping coldly, “She’s doomed. “You’d better start making arrangements for her tuneral soon.” 

“Huh?” Lilith was so frightened that her hands began trembling. Is… Is she really doomed?” 

Hera fell silent at the question. 

She was just cracking a joke. Why did Lilith take her seriously? 

Then again, it was true that Mildred wouldn’t be able to live for long it things were to go on like this. 

“She’ll be a goner sooner or later,” Hera explained. 

“Just listen to that brat, Dr. Pinson! She’s clearly here to murder me! That’s murder, you know! Hurry up and perform a full body check–up on me! I need you to check whether or not she’s poisoned me!” 

Alan was worried that Mildred’s life was in danger, so he and the head nurse quickly moved Mildred from the hospital bed to a nearby wheelchair. Then, they wheeled her to another room so that they could perform a complete body check–up on her. 

Before they left, Alan instructed the security guards to watch Hera 

“Don’t let her leave! If anything happens to the patient, she’ll have to be held responsible! 

After that, he said to Lilith, “You’re the patient’s family member, so you must come along as well!” 

Heradell silent at Alan’s words. 

Sometime later, the check–up’s results were out Mildred was doing fine, and her data showed that her condition had significantly improved compared to yesterday’s check–up 

It was common for elderly people to suffer from clogged arteries. Yet, Mildred’s severely clogged artery was completely blocked. 

Alan and the rest of the medical team had worked hard over the past two months, but the best they could do was manage to unblock one–third of Mildred’s clogged artery. To think that it was completely unclogged today.. 

That was when Alan suddenly recalled the acupuncturesession 

Did Hera really know how to treat patients with acupuncture? Was she the one who unclogged Mildred’s artery? 

But she looked like a minor! 

“Mom, do you feel better now? Are you still unwell anywhere?” 

1ith heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Alan’s words. She asked Mildred that question as she wheeled the latter back to the ward. 

Mildred denied it immediately. “Nope! I still feel dizzy! My heart palpitations are still here! In fact, I feel very sick and lethargic- Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“But Mrs. Everett Senior, all the data on your check–up results shows that you’re in a better condition than yesterday. Your artery is already unclogged, after all,” Alan chimed in. “That’s impossible! Are you even a skilled doctor? Don’t tell me that country bumpkin bribed you! The truth is, you want me dead as well, right?” 

Mildred slammed a hand onto the arm of her wheelchair and forcefully applied the brakes to it. Now, she refused to budge an inch. 

“I think you and that beat are ganging up on mel i don’t want you as my primary doctor anymore! 

Then, Mildred backed an order at Lilith. “Go to the top floor and bring Dr. Shadow here! I want her to treat my illness!” 

Mildred had heard from the other patients that Lennon received his treatment in this hospital as well. Dr. Shadow would always come over to treat him at regular intervals. Today was the day of his follow–up treatment session. 

Since Dr. Shadow had saved an impoverished young man who was severely without requesting any payment from him, Mildred was confident that the mysterious doctor would 

Lilith keked troshled. How was it possible for her to ask Dr. Shadow for help? 

I was clear that Milled was trying to make things difficult for her. 

Also, Lilith Brougha Hera to the ward today because she wanted her to treat Mildred. If she were to change doctors suddenly, wouldn’t that mean she ain’t have faith in Hera’s
