2025-01-11 02:13:58Doctor Andrew reached out and grabbed Maverick's arm, trying to pull him back. The latter's eyes flared with anger and he snapped, "If you don't shut up and let go of me, you will be the one responsible for the old man's death!"
Maverick's cold gaze and stern voice stunned the doctor greatly that he subconsciously released his hold. He took a few steps backwards before he suddenly thought to himself, 'Humph! Why should I be scared of this nobody?' "Who do you think you are to give orders?! Don't—" He reached out to grab Maverick again when the latter shook him off a bit too hard that his butts landed on the tiled floor. Some doctors rushed to his aid and a senior doctor immediately yelled at Maverick, "How dare you push Doctor Andrew? Someone get the security and escort this mad man out!" "Hey! Stop constituting nuisance and get out all of you! You can't help so let him!" Sebastian had had enough of the drama. He glared at the doctors and pointed at the door. "Uh?" One of the doctors scoffed in disbelief. "I can't believe this. Master Sebastian, he is your grandfather. How can you let a lunatic play around with him?!" "Four minutes!" Maverick turned around and raised his fingers. "All I need is four minutes and your grandfather will be saved. But if these quacks keep shouting, your grandfather will be beyond saving." Quack? That word again. Doctor Andrew was now livid beyond imagination. "Kid, have you watched too many movies? Do you think you can raise the dead just by sticking needles in his body?!" "Yes, traditional medicine isn't as simple as modern medicine. Do you think this is a joke?" Another doctor who was a huge fan of doctor Andrew chimed in. "What if I can?" At that moment, the doctors thought they had never seen someone like Maverick. How could he be so confident in his failure? Is he some god or simply foolish? "Hehe! If you can really bring the old man back to life, I'll kowtow in front of you and declare you my master!" Doctor Andrew patted his chest with a challenging look. Who expected Maverick's lips would curl disdainfully, "Just forget it. Someone with mediocre medical skills like you is not worthy of being my disciple." Doctor Andrew's rage spiraled so violently he trembled. His chest heaved and his eyes with fury. But before he could speak, Maverick continued, "But you must bow and apologize to me." As Maverick spoke, the silver needles in his fingers continued to pierce the old man's acupoints. "Look at you being all smug and confident. I'm so scared," Doctor Andrew harrumphed mockingly. "Ever heard the saying don't count your chickens before they hatch? Don't be too happy yet!" Maverick simply ignored him and focused on the old man. His fingers moved with a familiar ease. His skill was a bit rusty as he hasn't made use of it for four years. Doctor Andrew also watched him work. He didn't just learn modern medicine only but also has basic knowledge in traditional medicine. That's why he tried acupuncture when the old man was about to give up. However, the acupuncture technique this bastard is using looks very strange to him. He has never seen this technique before. For a minute, Doctor Andrew's heart trembled with fear. What if this bastard is really a— He shook his head almost immediately the unsettling doubt sprang up on his mind. "If you fail, just you wait and see what will happen to you," He snickered at Maverick; a shabby nobody like him is only bluffing. BEEP! The vital health monitor which had gone quiet earlier suddenly made a loud beeping sound. Everyone watched in shock as the originally straight line displaying on the monitor took a curve. "Grandfather," Sebastian was the first person to react and rush to the bed. Others were still in a daze. BEEP! BEEP! All of a sudden, the monitor made strange, louder noises that showed something was wrong. "The old man's heart beat rate is increasing more than normal!" The doctors were in alarm. "At this rate, he will surely die of a heart attack!" "Grandfather!" Sebastian panicked and shouted. But Doctor Andrew's eyes showed a hint of joy. "You rascal! Didn't I tell you to respect the dead? Do you want him to suffer another miserable fate and die of a heart attack?!" Doctor Andrew spat out with a self-righteous anger. "Hurry! You guys, apprehend him! He must not escape." As soon as doctor Andrew said that, several doctors immediately surrounded Maverick. But from the beginning to that moment, he didn't pay them any attention as he removed the needles carefully. BEEP! The monitor stopped beeping loudly and returned to normal. The old man on the bed opened his eyes. The doctors retreated in shock. "What... What is this?" One of the doctors muttered in disbelief. The heart rate shown on the monitor just now was an abnormal rate. How did it suddenly turn to normal? "Grandfather," Sebastian gripped his grandfather's hands with a tearful expression as the wrinkled eyes darted around. "You are finally awake." The old man couldn't speak because there was a tube on his face. But compared to when he was in a coma, he is now out of danger and everyone knows. Doctor Andrew who was filled with pride earlier froze. His jaws dropped as he tried to comprehend what was happening. The first thing he said was, "How is this possible?!" Immediately he said that, a pair of cold eyes snapped in his direction. "What do you mean by that? Did you not want my grandfather to wake up?" His forehead broke into cold sweat and he immediately shook his head, "No, that's not what I mean master Sebastian. I—" "I'm waiting," Maverick cut off the rest of his words. His work there was done but before he took his leave, there was something important that must be done. His penetrating gaze pinned Doctor Andrew to place as he put away the silver needles, cleaned his hands and pointed to the ground. "Let's get started, shall we?"

How could this strange man easily diagnose what even the miracle doctor couldn't discern?Doctor Andrew frowned and snorted, "Who are you? Are you lost?
