Abel rushed to the hospital to find Oscar in critical condition.
Lewis and Rosaline were already there. Landen, his uncle, had also just arrived.
Everyone was worried and they could only pray that the old man would survive.
"Lewis," said Landen, "Why don't you try getting your contact to plead with the Wonder Doctor again? Our father's life depends on it!"
"They've tried to contact him three times now. I even got them to offer 50 million to the doctor, but they said he hung up on them."
"Try again, they'll find a way to get him…they have to…"
Just as the two brothers were in a state of desperation, a bodyguard came in and announced, "The Wonder Doctor is coming. He's on the elevator right now!"
Everyone there instantly perked up.
The visitation area of the VIP ward went completely silent.
Ahh!
Suddenly, everyone let out a loud gasp at the same time.
"For real? The Wonder Doctor is coming over?" asked Landen
"Yes, Mr. Landen," replied the bodyguard excitedly. "He's on his way up as we speak."
With a trembling voice, Lewis exclaimed, "Go and meet him right now! Finally, help is here!"
Coming to their senses, everyone rushed out the door to meet the Wonder Doctor.
Abel also helped his mother out of the room behind the crowd.
The elevator was slowly rising, and everyone was transfixed at the panel displaying the floor the elevator was that. Their excitement rose along with the number.
"Ding!"
The elevator arrived at their floor and the door slowly opened. All eyes were fixated on the door of the elevator.
Emmeline was immediately greeted with stares from the Ryker family as she walked out of the elevator.
Thankfully no one recognized her as she was in a full protective suit with a huge face mask over her face.
The assistant behind her let out a surprised gasp when he saw the crowd.
Both Lewis and Landen immediately gave a polite bow and greeted the doctor, "You're finally here, Wonder Doctor."
The rest of the Ryker family followed suit and bowed before the doctor.
"Mmhmm," replied Emmeline without batting an eye. She pushed past the crowd of people and walked towards the ward.
She may not need money, but an easy 50 million dollars was hard to turn down. What's more, she could save a life in the process.
"Huh?" exclaimed Rosaline as the doctor brushed past her.
"What happened, mother?" asked Abel quietly.
"The doctor's eyes…seem familiar."
"What?" replied Abel. "This doctor may be famous in the medical world, but his background was always shrouded in mystery. You rarely leave home as it is, how is it possible that you've met him before?"
"But…"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw everyone else walking into the ward after the doctor. Both she and Abel tried to catch up to them.
"They didn't recognize you huh, boss," whispered Benjamin to Emmeline.
"Thankfully!" replied Emmeline quietly.
After both of them entered the ward, the hospital director that tailed behind them stood at the door. He prevented the members of the Ryker Family from entering.
Only the doctor and the assistant are allowed in there. Please be patient and wait where."
"Let's just wait then," said Landen as he rubbed his hands. "There's no need to worry now that the Wonder Doctor is here."
"yeah, dad will make it through this time," replied Lewis as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
With Benjamin's help, Emmeline got to work. The acupuncture treatment lasted for two hours.
When the two figures in protective suits finally walked out, the people who were anxiously waiting in the lounge area stood up and rushed toward the duo.
"How is my father doing, doctor?"
"Is my grandfather awake, doctor?"
"Wonder Doctor…"
Benjamin immediately stood between the crowd and the doctor, saying, "Just go inside and see for yourselves. The Wonder Doctor is tired, so we'll be taking our leave."
"Then I'll send the good doctor off," said Abel humbly.
"That won't be necessary," said Emmeline coldly as she briefly glanced at him.
That voice…
…and those eyes…
Abel was stunned. He stood there mystified as Emmeline and Benjamine walked past him and went out of the room.
"Doctor!" yelled Abel as he came to his senses and gave chase.
However, before he could get to the doctor and the assistant, both of them had entered the elevator and the door closed behind them.
Abel did not know why he felt compelled to run after the doctor. He just felt that he had to do it.
Failing to do so, Abel could only return to the ward disheartened. When he entered the ward, Old Mr. Ryker was conscious and seemed to be in a good mood.
"How are you feeling, granddad?" asked Abel. He was overcome with joy.
"Leave, all of you," said Oscar. "I want to speak with Abel in private."
Everyone had no choice but to obey.
Being the chosen heir of Oscar, it was given that Oscar would want to speak to him alone.
Rosaline was the last one to leave and she closed the door on her way out.
Outside the ward, Julianna, who was Landen's wife, looked unhappy.
She glanced at both of her sons, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
"What are your orders, granddad?" asked Abel with his hands holding onto Oscar''s hand.
"Look at this…" said Oscar as he lifted his left hand up from under the sheets. His thumb and index fingers were touching each other.
"What am I looking at?" asked Abel with a frown. He was confused as he could see nothing between Oscar's fingers.
"As expected, you can't see it," said Oscar as he wiggled his fingers. He continued, "Isn't this a needle?"
A needle?
Abel drew his head closer to Oscar before finally noticing the almost invisible outline of a needle between his grandfather's fingers.
"What is it for? It looks very peculiar!"
"The Wonder Doctor dropped it," said Oscar with a smile. He continued, "The doctor's reputation is well deserved. I felt much better after just a few needles were inserted through my skin. For a moment, I thought I was cured! But it seems like she had her moment of carelessness too."
Fiddling with the strange needle with his fingers, Abel replied, "Yeah, he must be really careless to misplace sure a priceless-looking thing!"
"I need you to do something for me," said Oscar. "Consider it my last wish to you."
"What is it, granddad?" asked Abel as he held his grandfather's hand tightly.
