" Are you sure you're not mistaken ? " 89 Charles frowned , his voice low and firm . To bolster his argument , he explained Daniel's current condition . " Daniel has a rare illness . The medication prescribed by the doctors has always been more or less effective . This time , it's likely the injury worsened his condition , causing a relapse within half a month ... What are you doing ? " As Charles spoke , he saw Emily suddenly pull open Daniel's shirt . Emily could tell that Charles genuinely cared for Daniel . His reminder made her recall the incident when Daniel got injured . However ... Emily frowned . The injury indeed worsened his condition , but it also made it easier for someone to poison him . It wasn't just the injury causing his weakened state , as Charles suggested . Charles knew how many women were eager to get close to Daniel , so his first reaction to Emily's actions was to think she was taking advantage of him . If his hands weren't incapacitated , he might have already intervened . Ignoring Charles's suspicions , Emily leaned in closer to examine the extent and nature of the wound's infection . In her focus , she didn't notice the jade pendant Daniel had given her as a token of his promise slipping from her neck . " Guards , arrest this fake doctor ! And you , stop immediately , or you'll face consequences you can't handle ! " Charles shouted for help , his voice filled with threats as he saw Emily getting even closer . " Shut up ! " Emily , having been reborn , wouldn't tolerate any injustice . With a swift motion , she silenced Charles with a silver needle . Charles opened his mouth but found he couldn't make a sound . Unable to remove the silver needle , he could only glare at Emily with fierce eyes . Emily pressed on Daniel's wound , causing a slight bleed . The blood wasn't bright red but had a dark hue . The poison seemed to have penetrated deep into his system . She was so focused on her examination that she didn't notice Daniel slowly opening his eyes . 8:49 Tue , Oct 14 Chapter 14 His vision was blurry at first , but the familiar jade pendant swinging before him gradually came into focus . Finally , he looked up and saw those calm , clear eyes . Emily finished her examination , stood up , and calmly removed the silver needle from Charles's face . Ignoring his murderous glare , she spoke indifferently , " Do you want treatment or not ? Think carefully before you answer . My fees are high , and if you refuse , the fifty million dollars won't be refunded . " She mentioned fifty million dollars as if it were just five dollars . Charles frowned , " How will you treat him ? Can you guarantee a cure ? Otherwise , I suspect you're a fraud . " Emily frowned . In her past life , she was constantly doubted . Now , facing such skepticism again , she turned cold and was about to leave , " If you believe , I'll treat . If not , I won't . In that case , I ... " " Do it ! " A deep , hoarse voice came from the bed , magnetic and authoritative . It drew the attention of Emily , Charles , and the guards Charles had called in . " You're awake ? Then you decide . " Emily's tone softened . Given that he hadn't killed her to silence her that day and had even given her a promise , she had more patience and leniency for him . " Do it . I trust you . " Daniel spoke again , his voice weak but his deep eyes unwavering . She was the girl from the hospital that day . If she wanted to harm him , she wouldn't need to be so roundabout . That day , she had a much better opportunity . However , the fact that the Johnson family's daughter was a doctor was indeed surprising ! Emily didn't expect him to be so unguarded with her . But she didn't dwell on it . Treating a patient who cooperates was always the best approach . Charles frowned and couldn't help but ask , " Are you sure you can cure him ? " Emily replied , " I'll give it my best shot . " 89 J 8:49 Tue , Oct 14 Chapter 14 " Do you know who you're dealing with ? How can you just try ? If you're not confident ... " " Charles , shut up ! Listen to the doctor , " Daniel interrupted , stopping Charles's continued questioning . Emily smirked slightly . Having such a cooperative patient was a pleasure for any doctor . She glanced at Charles . Before starting the acupuncture , she softened a bit , considering his genuine concern for his friend , and said , " Eighty percent chance . " " I mean , full recovery ! " 89 She paused deliberately before adding . Charles was incredulous , then overjoyed , " Are you serious ? " This illness had tormented Daniel for years . If it could be cured , even a billion dollars would be worth it , let alone following her lead in the future . Emily didn't know Charles's thoughts . Otherwise , she might have found it an appealing proposal . Instead of answering Charles , Emily pulled open Daniel's shirt and swiftly and accurately placed silver needles around the wound . Charles knew that interrupting a doctor during treatment was taboo . Now that she had started , he could only wait quietly for the results . As Emily placed the last needle , Daniel bit his lip to stifle a groan . But his brows relaxed . He could clearly feel the suffocating weight of the illness easing . He felt noticeably lighter . This made his deep gaze linger on Emily , who was focused on her treatment . Through the mask , knowing her serene and ethereal appearance , he couldn't help but imagine her face with that same focused and calm expression . " Hang in there ! " Emily warned as she finished the last needle . She then used a silver needle to prick Daniel's finger and placed a glass container from her medical kit under it . Blood dripped from the cut . Charles leaned in closer , frowning . 3/4 8:49 Tue , Oct 14 Chapter 14 The blood wasn't red but a deep black with a hint of blue . He was now certain it was poison . As the small bottle filled , the blood gradually turned red . Emily pressed a needle at a specific point , and the bleeding stopped almost instantly . If Charles had any doubts before , he was now slowly convinced that Emily was indeed a doctor . Emily quickly wrote a prescription . 27 89 " Gather these herbs and give them to me . I'll prepare the medicine for him . After detoxification , with proper care , he should be as healthy as any other person . " If this were true , it would be a joyous occasion for Daniel . Charles took the prescription , his hands trembling with excitement . However , seeing the required herbs , he showed some concern , " Everything else is fine , but Celestial Ginseng and Golden Saffron Essence are ... How long can Daniel wait ? " Emily recalled where she could find these herbs in her past life , her eyes flickering . She suggested , " I can temporarily suppress the poison for three months . Of course , I can also procure the herbs , but that will be an additional cost . " Charles opened his mouth , wanting to curse her for being so greedy . But a knock on the door interrupted , " Mr. Green , Mr. Smith's daily medication has arrived . Should I bring it in now ? " " Bring it in , Charles decided to continue with the medication that had been providing relief . However , as the butler opened the bottle to give Daniel the medicine , Emily suddenly knocked it to the ground . Before the butler and Charles could react in anger , she put on gloves from her medical kit and picked up the medicine . Is there something wrong with the medicine ? " Charles asked , his eyes flashing with uncertainty . Chapter Comments LIKE Write Comments
