"Everyone says that I'm inexperienced in medicine. Aren't you afraid that I might worsen your health?" Yolanda asked Simon
before starting the acupuncture. Anyone would feel skeptical if they saw a high school student claiming to be a doctor, but Simon
seemed entirely untroubled.
He smiled.
"I know my own body well at this age. I might be gone if it weren't for you saving me that day," he said.
"I've seen many famous doctors, but my condition hasn't improved. You're my last hope. I won't have any regrets if it doesn't
work out," he added.
With that said, he glanced at Yolanda and then remarked, "Besides, there's another reason. You give me an inexplicable sense
of familiarity."
In fact, he didn't speak the whole truth. To be exact, he felt a deep sense of respect for Yolanda the moment he saw her.
It was an unusual feeling. Normally, he shouldn't have felt this way about a high school student.
"Familiarity?"
Moreover, she had guided him through a creative bottleneck in traditional painting.
"Yes, it feels like I've met you before," he said.
Simon felt his own words sounded a bit absurd. He shook his head and stopped talking.
He then turned to Gordon and reminded him, "If my illness truly isn't cured, it's not because of Dr. Henderson. Do not put the
blame on her!"
Gordon wanted to say something, but he reluctantly nodded in the end. "Understood."
As the acupuncture started, Yolanda inserted the acupuncture needle into the acupoint near Simon's temple. She then did the
same on the other side.
Gordon had been kept outside the ward when Yolanda was treating Simon earlier.
Now that Gordon was in the ward with them, seeing the fine needles being inserted into Simon's head made Gordon shiver with
unease.
However, what seemed like a dangerous procedure to him was second nature to Yolanda.
She had started learning traditional medicine at the age of five. Later, she studied both medicine and toxi with her fourth expert.
She also had experience with modern medicine.
Yet, Yolanda's greatest interest remained in traditional medicine. She had studied many ancient texts on acupuncture
techniques.
The technique she was using now was called the Five Elements Divine Needles. It was said to be passed down from an ancient
physician, later modified by his apprentices, and it became a unique school of its own. Less than a handful of people in the
country knew this technique today, and nobody else could use it proficiently aside from her and her fourth expert.
...
Half an hour later, Yolanda removed the needles from Simon's acupoints.
"It's done."
"Mr. Carter, how do you feel?" Gordon asked as he quickly approached the bedside.
Simon opened his eyes, feeling much rejuvenated. His chest congestion was healed, and he could breathe more easily now.
"I feel much better now!"
"A miracle doctor! You really are a miracle doctor!"
"Although your illness is now treated, you'll need to take traditional medicine for a month as you're still weak. I'll write a
prescription for you. Have your assistant get the medicine," she said. Yolanda looked at Gordon and asked, "Do you have paper
and a pen?"
"Yes!"
Gordon hurriedly pulled out a stack of A4 paper and a pen from the bedside drawer. Yolanda took them and swiftly wrote down
the prescription.
Simon initially just glanced casually at what Yolanda wrote. However, his eyes widened in shock when he saw her handwriting.
