Chapter 1406 Unexpected Turn Of Events
“Where’s Ms. Lane? Bring her here to treat my wife. Hurry!”
“I’m here!” Nicole replied loud and firm.
She marched forward and examined the woman. “What happened to her?”
The man locked his gaze on Nicole, scrutinizing her. “You’re Ms. Lane?”
“Yes. What disease did your wife catch?”
“I don’t know. This occurred to her out of the blue. Ms. Lane, I’ve heard that you’re a superb doctor. Please save my wife!”
“Don’t worry. I’ll attend to her right away.”
Nicole took the pulse of the woman and discovered that it was abnormal. Looking at the woman’s ashen face, she reckoned that her pulse should be weak. Surprisingly, it was vigorous. Contrary to her appearance, it was indeed anomalous.
She realized that the patient was not ill, but poisoned at that.
“We have to detoxify your wife.”
“Detoxify? Are you saying that my wife is poisoned?”
“That’s right. It’s a detrimental poison. Hence, we have to treat her immediately, or else she’ll be in grave danger.”
The man was still dubious about her elucidation. “Ms. Lane, you should examine her carefully. I don’t think she’s poisoned because she has been with me for the whole day. Instead, I think she’s struck with an acute disease. She’s sick.”
“Who’s the doctor here? We’re running out of time. Thus, we need to arrange a procedure to detoxify your wife as soon as possible.”
“Ms. Lane. Are you implying that you can cure her?”
“I’ll try my best. Now should be the golden time for detoxification. If the treatment is executed correctly, I believe that your wife will recover.”
“Fine. I’ll trust you.”
A vague gloominess showed in the man’s eyes as he placed his trust upon Nicole. Then, he left his wife to Nicole and headed out of the room.
Very soon, Nicole started performing acupuncture on the woman. With her comprehensive knowledge, Nicole inserted the gleaming long silver needles one by one into the woman’s major acupoints expertly.
After the extensive treatment, Nicole could perceive that the woman’s pulse was not extravagant as before. As the pulse had finally abated to normality, Nicole heaved a sigh of relief.
“Prescribe her some medicines and keep an eye on her condition. If anything abnormal happens, report to me immediately.”
“Yes, Ms. Lane.”
Nicole wrote down the medicines required and passed the note to the doctor. Only then did she walk out of the consultation room.
“Your wife’s condition has stabilized. Now, she needs an IV drip. She’ll recover tomorrow or the day after.”
“Thank you, Ms. Lane.”
Nicole nodded and turned to walk away. Behind her back, the man’s gaze secretly turned ominous.
Recover? That won’t happen. She will never recover from it.
Two hours later, Nicole suddenly heard a knock on the door to her office. The doctor entered and looked at her anxiously. “Bad news. The woman that you treated just now, s-she…”
“What happened to her?”
“She suddenly stopped breathing. Her husband is raising a ruckus now and demanding an explanation from you.”
Suddenly stopped breathing? How could this happen?
Nicole’s heart instantly dropped. Quickly, she stood up and rushed to the room earlier. During that brief moment, many thoughts flashed across her mind.
Why did she suddenly pass away? Was there a problem with my acupuncture? That’s impossible. After the acupuncture, her condition had stabilized. Her condition shouldn’t make such a sudden quick turn. Is it the medicine’s fault? No way. I had written the list of appropriate medicines on the note before I passed it to the doctor, and I’m confident that the medicines were prescribed correctly. That should not be the problem. What went wrong then?
After pondering for long, she could not fathom the underlying reason, leaving her distraught, and even her pace was disordered.
