Ever since Laura had been hospitalized, Jeanie was left all alone at the Sinclair Residence. Two days later, Faye, who had been secretly watching over the situation, barged into the house and took Jeanie away by force. Meanwhile, Elise and Thomas were working hand in hand to remove the toxin in Laura’s body. He had heard from Alexander that Elise saved Laura’s life using a silver needle, but without seeing it with his own eyes, he still had reservations and refused to believe that a freshman student would have such profound knowledge and skills in traditional medicine.

However, the truth soon gave Thomas a slap in his face. The moment Elise opened the bag that contained her needle set, it was as if she changed into a different person. Her way of inserting the needles was gentle yet firm. Laura’s condition slowly improved as Elise inserted the needles, some color gradually returning to her face. After Elise had inserted the last needle, Thomas conducted a test on Laura and found that the amount of toxin in her body had dropped, and all the health indicators were closer to the norm. He was acquainted with many physicians of traditional medicine and most of them were gentle in nature. They tended to overcome hardship with gentleness, doing activities like Tai Chi.

However, the acupuncture technique that Elise had demonstrated that day was rather aggressive. To Thomas’ knowledge, only the top traditional medicine physician in the country, Mr. Monnay, had skills that were on par with hers. Nonetheless, Mr. Monnay had retired a few years ago and nobody knew his whereabouts. Rumor had it that his acupuncture technique which could bring back the dead was at the risk of being lost. Never in a million years would Thomas have thought that he would be so fortunate to see this skill set on another person. Presently, Thomas excitedly went up to Elise and stood right in front of her. “Miss Sinclair, may I know what’s your relationship with Mr. Monnay?”

“I’m not related to him.” Elise had no time for small talk, so she went straight to the point and asked, “Did my grandmother’s condition show any improvement?” “Of course!” Thomas dropped his previous cold and aloof bearing, and replaced it with a bright grin on his face. “Miss Sinclair, the acupuncture technique that you have just used is known to bring back the dead in the medicine world. Although it may sound a little exaggerated, you have indeed brought Old Mrs. Sinclair back from the brink of death!” Upon hearing that, Elise heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s great.” “Don’t worry,” Thomas replied, then continued to probe, “You are actually Mr. Monnay’s disciple, right? And he has passed down his ultimate technique to you, I believe?
