A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 30 A Sly Old Fox

After Finnegan completed the forty-five changes of Fateful Eighteen Needles, Howard’s aging signs disappeared, and his initially pale cheeks grew rosy.

His sunken skin seemed to have lifted and was no longer dull.

According to the heart rate monitor, his heart rate and breathing frequency had also increased. He wasn’t completely healthy yet, but his condition had experienced a dramatic improvement of fifty percent.

Finnegan flicked his fingers, and the eighteen gold needles buzzed loudly.

After that, Howard’s vitals returned to normal.

Howard had been cooped up in his bed for three long months, and he let out an enthusiastic shout upon his recovery.

The members of the Langdon family were barely able to contain their enthusiasm, but they restrained themselves from expressing it to prevent disturbing Finnegan.

Half an hour later, Finnegan retracted all the gold needles with his palm. “Get up.”

“Can I get up now?” Howard was in disbelief despite feeling the energy coursing in his b*dy.

It felt like he was ten years younger.

Finnegan accepted a towel and wiped his hands. “You’ll find out once you try getting up.”

Under everyone’s eager gazes, Howard got up from bed without anyone’s help. Abraham’s eyes reddened and got emotional as Howard could finally get up without needing anyone’s help.

Taking a deep breath, Howard then tried to get to his feet.

Despite trembling slightly, he managed to stand up successfully.

Abraham hollered, “Dad, you can finally stand up yourself!”

Howard was overjoyed and could hardly contain his excitement, yet he still made sure to express his gratitude to Finnegan. “Thank you so much, Dr. Larkin!
