Thinking that Kingsley was joking, Alice said with a smile, "If you're really capable of such a huge feat, I'll give you whatever you ask for."

"You said that yourself, Alice!" Kingsley suddenly jumped out of the sofa. "I'll skip dinner tonight. I've got to go back to my room to make preparations!"

At first, Kingsley had just wanted to cure Joshua step by step, restoring the senses in the latter's body first before gradually letting him get to his feet. By doing so, not only could he avoid drawing the attention of others, but he could also prove his medical prowess to Helen at the same time. As for whether the others would think that he was talking big, he didn't take it into consideration at all.

However, the situation was different now. Alice had promised to do whatever he would ask of her as long as he could cure Joshua tomorrow. Getting such a promise from the cold and aloof Alice was simply as difficult as winning the lottery. To prevent Alice from going back on her promise on the excuse that Joshua hadn't recovered yet, Kingsley decided to use everything he had learned all his life to cure Joshua once and for all.

After returning to his room, Kingsley took a long ivory box out of a backpack that he had brought with him from Coliree Island. The ivory box was a gift from his godfather. He slowly opened the box, in which nine shiny gold needles lay quietly—the shear needle, the rounded needle, the spoon-like needle, the sharp-edged needle, the sword-like needle, the round-sharp needle, the filiform needle, the long needle, and the large needle.

His eyes gleamed as he looked at the nine needles. He mumbled to himself, "Gorgion's Nine Needles have been lost for a long time. Tomorrow, your strength and marvelousness will be shown to the world once again!"


The next morning, Kingsley and Alice drove to Hill Crest Hospital together.

Before getting out of the car, Kingsley put on a black face mask.

Puzzled, Alice asked, "What are you doing? Why are you wearing a face mask?"

Kingsley replied with a chuckle, "I don't want to have those pedants all over my *ss later on."

Alice didn't understand what Kingsley meant, though. "Alright, cut it out. That's enough," she said anxiously. "Let's hurry and go to Reene's ward so that we can discuss how to deal with the matter today." With that, she opened the car door and stepped out of the car first.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the car, she gasped in shock at the sight of the scene before her. "What in the world…"

There were over 100 vehicles of various models in the parking lot, including normal sedans, high-end sports cars, and luxury cars. Not only that, but these vehicles even included a dozen ambulances from other hospitals in Cleapolis!

"Cleapolis Medical University Hospital, Samaritan Hospital, The First Affiliated Hospital of Cleapolis' College of Traditional Medicine…" Alice's pretty face blanched at the sight of the hospital names on the ambulances. "Even people from the West Point Military Hospital are here. This is gonna make a huge splash this time…"

Meanwhile, the entrance to the outpatient building nearby was blocked by a dozen news trucks. Countless reporters were waiting outside the entrance with cameras in their hands, preparing to vie with one another for firsthand news information.
