novelxo Chapter 16
"It's a fatal point of the human body!" Graham frowned, feeling like this person must have just read some half-baked medical books and wanted to get some credit. The person probably did not know that it was something fatal.
"Brat, what are you saying? The Middle Chest Point and the Soul Palace point can both be fatal. How could you just use them like that? Do you even know your anatomy?!" Graham's assistant berated Leon.
"I guess you just came here after learning some half-baked medical skills to show off? Let me tell you, people like you are what's causing alternative healers to get such a bad reputation in the country!" Even Leon's morals were attacked at that point.
Leon wanted to say something else, but he was quickly interrupted by Iris.
"Leon, my grandfather's life is in danger right now. Graham is trying to save him, so please don't cause any trouble!" Iris said unhappily.
Even though Leon saved Iris' life, it did not mean Leon could do whatever he pleased when he was with the Youngs! Furthermore, her grandfather's life was at stake at the moment. She could not allow Leon to make a mess of things! "Brat, if you cause any more trouble, I'll have you kicked out of here this instant!" Gilbert glared at Leon angrily. Leon opened his mouth to speak but swallowed back his words in the end.
Graham shifted away his attention from Leon as he fully focused on himself, continuing to treat Elder Young.
Elder Young suddenly shook violently in his state of unconsciousness. His face gradually gained a bloody hue, looking like blood was about to ooze out of his face. It looked incredibly scary.
His breathing suddenly turned weak and erratic, even his heartbeat started to get irregular, as if it was about to stop.
Seeing that, even Iris and Gilbert, who were not versed in medicine, knew that the situation did not look great.
"His blood is flowing in the wrong direction!
"H-how is this possible?!" Graham's expression changed immensely. He did not even dare to continue his treatment.
He knew very well that, if he continued, the blood that was flowing in the wrong direction could very well assault Elder Young's weakened heart, causing Elder Young to die on the spot! "Graham, what's happening..." Gilbert asked in a panic.
"I'm sorry, I've done everything I could. I've been a doctor for more than forty years, but I've never seen an illness as strange as Elder Young's. Please forgive me for not being able to help..." Graham sighed. "What? You..." Gilbert was furious. He almost lost himself and berated Graham on the spot.
However, he considered Graham's reputation as one of the best doctors in the country. Graham was respected by many, so he swallowed back his words in the end.
"Graham, please figure out a way. You have to save my grandfather..." Iris pleaded.
"I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do to help..."
"You should start getting his affairs in order..." Graham bitterly shook his head.
"How did this happen? My grandfather was fine just now..." Iris's face was completely pale. She stumbled and fell to the ground with tears in her eyes.
Her mother passed away quite early, and her father was always more focused on Daisy and Daisy's son.
Since she was young, the only one who kept her company and cared about her was her grandfather. Her grandfather was the person she was the closest to. Hearing the bad news, it was obvious how sad and helpless she felt.
Leon walked forward and helped Iris up, wanting to say something before he stopped.
Earlier, he did not get a great response when he said a few things. He got scared away from that and did not dare to say much anymore.
However, when he saw how broken Iris looked, he could not stand it anymore. After hesitating for a moment, he said softly, "Maybe I can give it a try."
"You want to try?"
Everyone was stunned as they all turned to look at Leon at the same time, wondering if they misheard.
"Yes! Elder Young's life might be in incredible danger at the moment, but there's still a chance to save him. I might be able to save him..." Leon said after summoning up the courage.
The moment he said that, everyone was completely silent. The tension in the atmosphere could be cut with a knife.
