Dr. Sergio whispered to Julia

“ I’m not comfortable with the idea of this man using acupuncture to save your grandfather’s life. If anything happens do not say I did not warn you.

“Right now am confused we need to be optimistic about this whole thing Dr. Sergio”

Julia cried out.

Churchill heard the conversation between Dr. Sergio and Julia, he smiled and walked past them to the ambulance.

He asked the guard in the ambulance to excuse him as he prepare for the acupuncture.

Dr. Sergio and Julia went inside they watched Churchill as he starts with the acupuncture.

Churchill saw that Julia was worried he told her not to worry and that her grandfather will gain consciousness within ten minutes when he is done with the acupuncture.

Julia sighed after hearing Churchill’s words

“ I’m not sure this young man here has anything better to offer why don’t we hurry and send your grandfather to the hospital… he is just an impoverished man...” said Dr. Sergio

“ Hey! Dr. be mindful of your words and be optimistic for once. I would be glad if you keep quiet for some time”

Churchill talked back

“ Did you just shout at me? Do you know who I am? How dare you talk back to me”

replied Dr. Sergio in an angry tone.

Watching them argue, Julia shouted,

“ Stop the argument and save my grandfather please”.

“I’m sorry Miss”

both replied in a low tone.

Dr. Sergio and Julia observed Churchill as he undergo acupuncture by cutting the skin covering the point to produce bleeding, which in turn releases energy. Deep clockwise circular pressure is applied to the acupuncture point to restart the plump.

Ten minutes after the acupuncture there was no sign of recovery

“ What’s going on!?

He has not gained consciousness after the acupuncture, I remember you said he will be fine ten minutes after the acupuncture, why now…….??”

Julia asked.

“ Yes, I said that……. Let us wait for a few minutes he will be fine.” Churchill replied

Dr. Sergio cleared his throat

“ I said it……..young man just remember what I said, let us have your number and address if anything happens we will trace you and you will pay dearly with your life.”

Churchill after hearing these threatening words replied

“ I’m sorry am a stranger in this country and I don’t have a phone. We should be optimistic Dr. the old man will be fine in just a few minutes.

“ Julia Julia, Julia “ the old man called out.

" He is awake! He is awake!”. Julia screamed

Julia ran to her grandfather she was overjoyed

“Grandpa, how are you? I miss you “ she cried as she hugged him.

“ I feel relieved and much better now my dear…wipe your tears “ the old man chuckled.

Now, our grandfather is awake let’s hurry and send him to the hospital Dr. Sergio ordered

“ Thank you so much Mr. Churchill am very thankful for your time and also for saving my grandfather’s life, my family owes you a lot for this favor.” she cried

“ No Miss I should be thanking you for trusting and giving me the chance to save your grandfather’s life Churchill replied with a smile.

“I overheard you saying you don’t have a phone….Here have this phone it has my number saved on it call me anytime you need anything and I will be there to support you.

“ Thank you so much Miss I can’t thank you enough.”

Churchill chuckled.

The old man after hearing the conversation between his granddaughter and Churchill called

" Is this the man that saved me?

“ Yes grandpa, He is the one “ replied Julia with a smile

“ Aw......my dear thank you for everything….. My God will bless you.” said the old man

“ You're welcome Sir am glad you are fine…but I suggest you undergo a full body examination because this acupuncture is just a first aid I can be of another help by undergoing the body examination all I need is your permission,”

replied Churchill with a chortle.

Dr. Sergio could not bare Churchill, anymore after hearing his last words

“Who is this lucky bastard trying to persuade Julia and the Lord to undergo a full body examination under his care? Is he trying to gain famous out of this? If am able to recover this man fully well, our hospital will gain a big reputation which I can’t afford to miss out on this low-class bastard”

he said to himself with a furious expression

“ Thanks so much for saving our Lord's life don’t worry about anything else we will take it from here,” said Dr. Sergio as he walked to Churchill smiling furiously.

Julia and her grandfather were not convinced about what Churchill was saying. They were thankful to him for saving his life but undergoing a full examination wasn’t meaningful to them. they were comfortable going to the hospital

“ I think you are right but let the doctor take it from here” Julia grinned.

“ Miss, this disease is rare not common, doctors don’t have much idea about it trust me..” Churchill replied

Dr. Sergio interrupted ,

“ Young man what do you know that we doctors do not know? The fact that you were able to save a life with this Chinese method does not make you a qualified doctor to be given orders. We are taking him to the hospital, he will recover from there.”

Churchill saw that Dr. Sergio was angry he could not hold it but laugh

“ I did not say so but sorry if that is what you think”

He realized that Julia and her grandfather did not believe him that much so he decided to let go

“Do they see only qualified doctors as life savers he thought

“ They will come back looking for me when they find out the old man could not be recovered in the hospital.” He told himself.

Churchill wished the old man a speedy recovery he walked away as he bid them farewell.

Julia shouted as the car left

“ See you some other time “

Meena turned to look at Churchill in shock, she was trying to figure out what was going on so she kept cool and observed what was happening. She thought the old man was after Churchill because he has offended or stolen from him at first but looking at the man’s sense of humor she thought otherwise. To clear her doubt in mind she went ahead to ask the man why he was looking for Churchill “ Excuse me, Sir,. please why are you after Churchill? Hope all is well. He didn’t offend you did he? if is like that please forgive him because we can’t afford to stand with you in court Sir.” Meena pleaded.

He gathered all the boldness left in him to speak to prove Dr. Maxi wrong in front of everyone “ I can see you are very mad at me for what happened earlier which I have apologized for, But trust me what the old man is going through is not a matter of hospital medications he needs other medications which you as a doctor do not know. .I know for sure after all the screening and scanning in the hospital you were not able to know what is actually wrong with him that is why you brought him back home. Not all diseases need medications from the hospital,.

    As they were waiting for a miracle to see their old man stand, Dr. Maxi on the other hand was against it. After coughing and resting for a while Mr. Welly who was laying helplessly on the bed started moving his body from left to right trying to stand on his own but he failed and went back to lie on the bed. They were in a dilemma now since Churchill told them their master was going to stand for 1 minute after taking the medicine. Realizing how things were going he told them not to worry they should give him a few minutes because the medicine he has given him will take time to work as a result of the previously prescribed medicine from the hospital. Dr. Maxi was happy when Mr. Welly started coughing, he moved to the center of the room and said “ I said it but you didn’t believe me now see what he has caused how motionless our old man is. He can’t even open his eyes not to speak of talking I warned you all and I know you won’t blame me if anything should happen to Mr. Welly. It'
