“The hospital called and my dad… Woo…” The girl cried out sadly and was struggling to leave. “No, I have to go to the hospital now.”
Seth followed. “Let me go with you.”
At this point, the girl no longer had virtual-novel.net own judgment and simply wanted to get to the hospital as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Seth was the one who helped virtual-novel.net close the store doors.
They then hailed a taxi by the roadside.
When they got in, Seth yelled at the driver, “The hospital, please hurry!”
“Okay!” The driver stepped on the gas and the car rushed away.
The girl shrieked and leaned forward suddenly, about to hit the front. Seth quickly reached out and tried to block her. However, his hand placement when virtual-novel.net did this was iffy.
He quickly retracted his hand and said, “S-Sorry, i-it was not intentional…”
The girl shook virtual-novel.net head, and although virtual-novel.net would feel extremely embarrassed if it were any other time, virtual-novel.net heart was solely focused on virtual-novel.net father now.
Suddenly, the driver cursed out, “D*mn it! The traffic’s congested up ahead. It seems there’s been an accident!”
“What do we do?” The girl was so anxious that virtual-novel.net was about to cry.
Seth looked outside and saw a long line of cars. Judging from the situation, the long queue probably would not be cleared for the next several hours.
He gave the driver ten dollars and said, “We’ll get off here.”
Then virtual-novel.net took the girl and got out of the car.
“Mister, what should we do now? My dad can’t wait any longer.” Tears were streaming down virtual-novel.net face, which made people feel heartbroken.
Seth suddenly picked virtual-novel.net up bridal style and said, “Where’s the hospital? I’ll take you there.”
The girl was shocked. “The… The hospital is still far away from here. Please put me down, Mister…”
“It’s okay. My physical strength isn’t bad. Saving your father is the most important thing right now.”
The girl was deeply moved. She pointed in a direction and then heard the sound of rushing wind in virtual-novel.net ears.
Seth exerted force on both feet and suddenly burst into speed, galloping forward like a wild buffalo and weaving between cars!
The drivers saw a shadow flashing by, and the air currents generated by his movement made their hair stand on end.
“What was that just now?”
“Superman?”
“Oh my god, take out your phone and take a video!”
***
Seth was so fast that the girl had to lean virtual-novel.net head on his chest to feel a little more comfortable. She felt inexplicably calm listening to Seth’s steady and strong heartbeat.
Seth sped through the streets and alleys. The journey that should have taken half an hour only took virtual-novel.net about ten minutes to arrive. He put the girl down and virtual-novel.net quickly ran to the hospital room.
Inside the room, a middle-aged man was lying there weakly. His skin was dull and lifeless and his cheeks sunken. His body emitted an odor. This was a state only seen when someone was close to death.
Several doctors stood in front of the bed, shaking their heads slightly.
“It’s kidney failure, there’s no cure.”
“What a pity. If virtual-novel.net had a kidney transplant a month ago, we could have saved him.”
Among these doctors, there was one who particularly stood out. She was a beautiful woman who looked about thirty years old. Her face was delicate and virtual-novel.net had on light makeup. She had a high and straight nose, and small cherry lips.
Even though virtual-novel.net wore a loose robe, one could still vaguely see virtual-novel.net impressive figure inside.
The eyes of several male doctors occasionally glanced towards her, with a light flickering that only men could understand.
“Dad!” The girl ran in and burst into tears when virtual-novel.net saw the man on the bed.
“Doctor, how’s my dad doing now?”
The beautiful female doctor sighed. “It’s best you start preparing for his funeral…”
The girl felt virtual-novel.net sight growing dark and almost fainted. She shook virtual-novel.net head vigorously. “No, my dad is still so young. How can virtual-novel.net die? Please, please save him!”
The beautiful female doctor sighed again. “We want to save virtual-novel.net too but there’s no suitable kidney, and the cost will be at least five hundred thousand…”
She knew that the girl’s family was not very well off. Even if there was a suitable kidney, they might not be able to afford it.
The girl’s face turned white, and virtual-novel.net felt like the sky was falling on her. She had lost virtual-novel.net mother when virtual-novel.net was a child and had relied on virtual-novel.net father for everything.
The whole world went black before virtual-novel.net eyes.
Seth also walked into the hospital room and checked the man’s pulse. Then, Seth said a sentence that shocked everyone in the ward. “Don’t worry, I can save your father…”
The young girl widened virtual-novel.net eyes. “Are you serious, Mister?”
Before Seth could answer, a male doctor got angry and said, “Who the hell are you? Don’t sputter nonsense here!”
Another male doctor also said, “He has complete kidney failure, and that’s in the case of both his kidneys. It’s impossible to save him.”
“Are you trying to deceive this young girl with such methods? How despicable!”
Even the beautiful female doctor frowned and had a very bad first impression of Seth.
Faced with all of their doubts, Seth calmly said, “His kidneys have indeed failed completely, but there’s still a chance to save him.”
The beautiful female doctor became even more disdainful of Seth and asked, “Then tell me, how do you plan to save him?”
Even she, a senior doctor who studied abroad, had issued a critical illness notice. She did not believe that a teenager could save him.
Doesn’t that not mean all the medical skills I have learned over the years were useless?
Seth’s gaze fell on the young girl. The most important thing was to make virtual-novel.net believe that virtual-novel.net could save virtual-novel.net father.
“The five viscera of the human body correspond to the five elements. The liver corresponds to wood, the heart corresponds to fire, the spleen corresponds to earth, the lungs correspond to metal, and the kidneys correspond to water…”
“And in the five elements, metal generates water… So as long as we use dry needling, it could stimulate the power of the lungs and nourish the kidneys… Finally, we activate the mutual generation of the five elements to form a closed loop, and his disease can be cured.”
Seth’s explanation was simple, but in the entire Longford Kingdom, few doctors knew how to use dry needling to stimulate the power of the five viscera.
The girl’s eyes lit up when virtual-novel.net heard this. “Really? Then please quickly help me save my father, Mister!”
The beautiful doctor sneered, “Nonsense! There is no scientific basis for things like lungs being associated with metal and kidneys with water.
“Young lady, don’t be fooled by him. This guy doesn’t look like a good person at all!”
When the other male doctors saw this innocent young girl, they too did not want virtual-novel.net to be deceived and spoke up, one after another.
“That’s right, look at that kid, how can virtual-novel.net have the ability to cure anyone at such a young age?”
“You should trust the doctors. We are the authorities in this field.”
“He’s right, little girl, you need to open your eyes and see more clearly.”
The young girl was immediately confused again. She found that what the doctors said seemed to be true.
Seth looked too young, like a high school student. Plus, in terms of medical skills, it was commonly believed that the older the doctors, the better their skills would be.
Seth looked at the girl and said, “Well, since the doctors have all said that your father is beyond saving, why not let me try?”
The girl thought that virtual-novel.net somehow made sense, and said, “Then, please… Give it a try, Mister.”
In any case, virtual-novel.net had no other choice.
This hospital was the best in all of Jonesville. If they said it could not be done, virtual-novel.net was out of options too.
Seth nodded and took out a silver needle virtual-novel.net carried with him.
However, the beautiful doctor suddenly stepped forward and shouted at Seth, “Stop!”
