My Fabulous Girl Boss

Chapter 3

she teared up. “I promise, I’ll get married to him. Don’t scare me like this!” “Dr. Ewell!” Liam called out in panic. Dr. Ewell went up to check Hugh again, and his composure cracked. “H-How? Mr. Wolfenden Sr.’s energy flow is disrupted!” This was not what he was expecting! After all, he had estimated that it would at least be six hours before Hugh woke up again. He fumbled for another round of acupuncture, but no matter what he did, things did not get better for Hugh as he coughed blood. “Dad!” Liam and Beatrice were frightened. If it were not for the inappropriate timing, Liam would have shouted and questioned Dr. Ewell. Sweat was trickling down the physician’s forehead as he kept attempting, but it was in vain. Hugh then had a violent seizure as if he had an epileptic shock. “I’m s-sorry… I… There’s nothing I can do…” Dr. Ewell looked white. At that moment, Kayson spoke up. “Dr. Ewell, you can try needling the acupoint on Mr. Wolfenden’s inner wrist first.” “Shut up!” Liam growled, “This is not the place for you to speak!” Sadie glared at Kayson as well. “Stop this nonsense! Dr. Ewell’s been a physician for decades. Could he know less than you?” Kayson retorted, “He’s dying, anyway, and Dr. Ewell probably doesn’t know where to start. Just give it a try!” “Say that again, and I’ll rip your mouth off!” Sadie sprang up. Her expression was icy even when her pretty face was stained with tear tracks. Dr. Ewell clenched his jaw and pushed a needle into the pressure point on Hugh’s inner wrist like Kayson had mentioned. Surprisingly, the convulsing Hugh eventually calmed down. “This…” Dr. Ewell was astonished. It actually worked! The old man suppressed his shock and humbly asked Kayson, “Young man, where do I needle next?” The scene stunned the Wolfendens, and they quieted down. Even Sadie was staring at Kayson in surprise. Kayson nodded upon seeing that Dr. Ewell was accepting his opinion. “The second one below the belly button, the third one on the outside of the knee…” Following Kayson’s instructions, Dr. Ewell pushed five needles into the acupuncture points, and Hugh was now lying on the bed, breathing rhythmically. Dr. Ewell was overwhelmed with surprise as he turned to Kayson and exclaimed, “Thank you for your advice, young man!” If it were not for Kayson, his reputation would have been ruined today. Liam and Sadie were baffled. It worked!? Kayson smiled. “You’re welcome, as long as he’s saved.” Dr. Ewell was immensely grateful to Kayson.
