Chapter 5 " All right. " His smile widened , eyes still locked on Yvette . [ ] " Take me to the patient . Yvette said , turning away . The Lynns looked ready to object again . ] " Take her to see Grandma , " Lucas ordered , his gaze still fixed on Yvette . ] ] At those words , not a single member of the Lynn family dared to move against it . ] They looked at each other , faces showing surprise and uncertainty . [ ] Sophie hurried over . " Come on , I'll take you . " ] Yvette cast a glance at Lucas . This man clearly wasn't part of the Lynn family . So why did he hold such sway here ? She frowned slightly , then turned and followed Sophie into the inner room . ] The rest tried to follow . " Look , if you guys disturb me and something goes wrong , it's on you . " That single sentence froze them all in place . Lucas lifted his eyelids with mild interest , leaned back in a chair , crossed one leg over the other , and fixed his eyes on the closed door . He reached over to the fruit plate beside him , picked up an orange , and began peeling it slowly . ] Inside , Yvette found the old madam of the Lynn family lying in bed . ] She was awake , her eyes clouded with confusion as she looked at Yvette . [ ] " Hey there , I'm gonna be taking care of you today . Just try to relax , okay ? Yvette said , opening the rosewood case . Her voice was calm but carried a soothing quality that seemed to melt tension away . The confusion faded from the old lady's eyes , and her whole body loosened . [ ] Yvette - or rather , the soul living in her body - had been a healer in her past life . Thirty - ninth generation of the Healing Sect . She'd lived in a parallel world much like this one , but during a flight , lightning struck had torn her soul from her body , thrusting it into the freshly deceased form of Yvette . ] That was how she ended up here . ] Her connection to Sophie had begun when she saved someone in prison - a person who happened to be close to Sophie . [ ] From just a verbal description . Yvette had been able to identify the old madam's symptoms and even uncover details no one else knew . That had earned Sophie's full trust . || Afterward , Sophie often visited her in prison , sending her money and supplies . [ ] In return , Yvette had promised to treat the old woman once she got out . ] So the moment she was released , Sophie sent for her . After calming the old lady . Yvette placed her hand on the woman's meridians , applying subtle yet precise force along the pathways . | ] Then she picked up several silver needles . ] With a flick of her wrist , she drove five needles into acupoints nearly eight inches apart . ] Almost instantly , faint wisps of vapor rose from the points , and the old madam's body jerked . But soon , the pain on her face began to ease . ] Though the Lynn family hadn't gone inside , the old madam's room had a special observation window . Through it , they could all see exactly what was happening - and shock swept across their faces . When they saw her needlework , their eyes widened even more . It was like watching flying needles dance through the air - acupuncture at its highest mastery . Lucas's pupils narrowed sharply . Such force and precision … how the hell was she doing this ?
