Chapter 44: I See, I Admit Defeat!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Joshua had just regained consciousness, so he had to be given some rest. ๐ง๐๐๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ทo๐ท๐๐ญ.๐๐๐
Other than Helena and Ginny, who were taking care of him, the rest were asked to leave the room.
โMaster Howard, you really are a miracle doctor!
โI was blind to your greatness before, thank you so very much!โ
Jackson apologized profusely while grasping Clarenceโs hand. He looked like he was looking at a loved one of his as he spoke to Clarence, โMaster Howard, from now on, you are the benefactor of the Hayes family. If you have anything to ask of us, please do not hesitate to do so.โ
Boris stood off to the side with an ashen expression on his face. He looked awful.
Johnsonโs face contorted into a huge smile. โMr. Hayes, I was the one who brought him here.โ
โJohnson Golding?โ
โYou actually know who I am, Mr. Hayes?โ Johnson was overjoyed.
โOf course, your company has quite the reputation. If youโre willing, youโre welcome to partner up with the Hayes Consortium anytime,โ Jackson replied casually.
Johnson looked like he had just struck the lottery, โThank you, Mr. Hayes, thank you!โ
Jeremy also wanted some glory. โDad, I did well this time around, right?โ
โNot bad! Youโre worthy of a reward, so you can still get your allowance this month.โ Jackson looked at his son briefly as he dismissed him.
Jeremy pouted and asked, โNothing else?โ
โLittle brat! What other reward do you want for saving your own grandpa?โ Jackson sounded a little angry.
โEhโฆโ Jeremy scratched his head, not knowing what else to say.
Suddenly...
Boris, who was still standing off to the side with a defeated look on his face, asked, โYoung man, how in the world did you do that?โ
โI simply unclogged his blood vessels and let the blood from the brain drain out.
โWithout the blood clot pressing against his nerves, the patient will naturally regain consciousness,โ Clarence explained casually.
โImpossible!โ
Boris shook his head, โThe blood vessels were blocked, so it would be virtually impossible for the blood to flow. The blood vessels in the brain had burst too, so how did you make the blood flow out of the brain?โ
โHuman anatomy is generally the same for all people. There are spaces and gaps in between the flesh, so how could the blood not flow in that situation?โ Clarence fired a question of his own back at Boris.
Boris frowned, โWhy did you administer the silver needles, though?โ
โThe needles open up the acupoints Shangxing and Shenting, unclogging the blood vessel!
โThe Touwei position is to prevent backflow.
โLastly, the Yangguan position is to stabilize his heart, so that the patientโs brain will not experience hypoxia, which can cause brain death!
โIf I guessed correctly, Old Master Hayes has a pacemaker in his heart, yes?โ Clarence asked calmly.
Jackson was overwhelmed with respect for Clarence as he replied, โYes, yes, yes, my father had a pacemaker installed inside him five years ago.โ
โImpossible! Even if the needles were administered at the positions that you mentioned, it would still be impossible for the blood to flow out of the brain on its own with just normal needle administration techniques.โ Boris was still shaking his head, expressing his disbelief.
How could he have made the blood flow out of Old Master Hayesโ brain?
Boris would have had to perform brain surgery on Joshua if he had been left to use his own methods.
How could anyone get the blood clot in Joshuaโs brain to flow out by itself by just administering four needles?
โOf course it would be impossible if it was just some normal technique.
โHowever, what if it was the Thirteen Hellโs Gate Acupuncture?โ Clarence asked.
โWhat?
The Thirteen Hellโs Gate Acupuncture!โ
Borisโ pupils shrunk and his body shuddered as he stared at Clarence in disbelief.
Legend had it that the Thirteen Hellโs Gate Acupuncture could save any patient by just administering needles, with each needle having a stronger effect than the last.
Clarence used only four needles to cure Joshuaโs brain hemorrhage.
If legend was true, then if all thirteen needles were administered consecutively, even a person on the brink of death could be brought back to life. It was like saving someone from the clutches of death itself. Even if they were already standing in front of the gates of hell, they could still be saved.
That was where the Thirteen Hellโs Gate Acupuncture got its name!
Boris would never have expected that the technique Clarence had used was the legendary Thirteen Hellโs Gate Acupuncture.
โI see, I admit defeat!โ Boris sighed deeply.
Without any more hesitation, Boris turned toward Clarence and was about to get down on his knees.
However, Clarence rushed forward to grab a hold of him and said, โMaster Lowe, I was just joking, but youโre actually getting down on your knees?โ
Clarence knew that Boris was a household name, so even though he would gain some satisfaction with Boris kneeling before him, he would also face the offense of many people.
โYoung man, I like your personality.
โIโm really impressed and absolutely beaten!โ Boris did not insist on kneeling once Clarence had stopped him.
Jackson looked at Clarence. A person who could gain Boris Loweโs respect was definitely not a person to be scoffed at.
โJeremy, bring Master Howard to the hotel and reward him well for his work today. Iโll have a look at your grandpaโs condition and join you two there once Iโm done,โ Jackson commanded.
Jeremy was obedient as he replied, โDonโt worry, Dad. Iโll make sure that Master Howard is treated fantastically.โ
Jackson looked at Boris and suggested, โMaster Lowe, why donโt you join them?โ
Boris laughed with a bitter tone and waved his hand at the invitation. โForget it, Iโm too embarrassed to show myself. Iโll be going back to Beth City right away.โ
This incident had been a huge blow to Boris, so how could be in the mood for a meal?
After he asked Clarence for his phone number, he gathered up his team and left the hospital.
Jeremy took Clarence and Johnson to the hotel.
On their way there, Jeremy was humble and well-mannered as he said, โMaster Howard, I think that weโre of similar ages. Youโre so amazing at what you do, so why donโt I call you Brother Howard from now on?
Honestly, calling you Master Howard sounds so weird to me!โ
โBrother Howard?โ Clarence was stunned.
Johnsonโs eyes lit up as he nudged Clarence, who was beside him.
Almost no one would even dare dream of becoming Jeremy Hayesโ brother!
Once associated with someone of Jeremyโs power and position, who in Mediterranean City would dare not give Clarence the time of day?
Furthermore, Clarence was now considered his big brother.
โAlright, you can call me Brother Howard.โ Clarence nodded.
โHehe, very well then, Brother Howard!โ
After an hourโs journey, Clarence, Jeremy, and Johnson reached the Sheraton Seaview Hotel.
Clarence had just stepped foot into the hotel. He could not believe his eyes as he spotted something across the hall.
Beside a window looking out to the sea, Miranda was sitting across from another man, chatting happily.
Clarence had a closer look and realized that the man was Mirandaโs first loveโSheldon Clark!
Clarenceโs expression suddenly turned dark.
Miranda had mentioned in her note that she was going to work, right?
Why was she here meeting up with Sheldon, then?
Had he beenโฆ lying to himself about Miranda this whole time?
