Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 23 - My Medical Skills Are Second to None

Shaw?

What if something goes wrong?”

Master Shaw remained silent.

He had also been foolishly anxious and had agreed to let Serena Summers give it a try.

Now his heart was in his throat, terrified that his grandson might encounter the slightest mishap.

“Professor Parker, please go in and see for yourself!

Stop that girl’s nonsense!

If this continues, I fear Lucas will be beyond saving!” Elena Ryan, seizing the opportunity, hastily put on an urgent façade.

“Shut up!”

Master Shaw’s temples throbbed as he heard the last two words.

He scolded, “Lucas is your son after all.

Can’t you watch your words?”

Over the years, Master Shaw had a strong aversion to hearing words like “death,” “lifeless,” or “breathless.”

Each time he heard them, it felt like something was ruthlessly gripping his heart.

The pain left him struggling to breathe.

Hearing this, Professor Parker, with a grave expression, walked into the bedroom.

He was about to interrupt, but upon noticing Serena Summers’ proficient techniques, he paused.

Despite her young age, the girl’s movements were incredibly fluid, as if all the acupoints were etched in her memory, her needling was swift, accurate, and decisive.

The positioning of the needles was impeccable.

There was a sense of ease and flow in her movements.

The more Professor Parker watched, the more he was taken aback.

This setup… why was it so familiar?

“Is this the long-lost Red Phoenix Thirteen Needles?”

Professor Parker snapped back to reality and realized that he had spoken his inner thoughts aloud.

Liam Shaw asked Professor Parker in a low voice, “Red Phoenix Thirteen Needles?

Professor, what’s that?

I’ve never heard of it.”

Professor Parker, visibly excited, waved to Liam Shaw behind him, signaling him to be quiet.

Then he instinctively stepped forward, wanting to observe Serena Summers’ needling technique more closely.

Liam Shaw, who didn’t get an answer, touched his nose and stood quietly aside.

He was trained in Western medicine and knew little about Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Yet the ancient medical techniques of Corland were exquisitely profound and inscrutable.

Liam Shaw gazed at Serena Summers, and suddenly the phone call from his grandfather two days earlier, mentioning that Lucas had gotten married and brought the young lady to the old Shaw Family home, came to mind.

It seemed this was his new sister-in-law.

Serena Summers was completely oblivious to the onlookers.

All her attention was focused on Lucas Shaw.

Seeing the sanguine streaks in his eyes slowly fade and him gradually slipping into a deep sleep, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

It seems that the symptoms of the poison have been controlled.

With the efficacy of the Spring Elixir, Lucas Shaw shouldn’t have another poisoning episode in a short time.

Serena Summers withdrew the needles and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

She sat weakly beside the bed, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

Upon lifting her eyes, she saw an old gentleman about fifty or sixty years old, dressed in a white lab coat, staring at her excitedly.

Behind him was a man with a slender figure and handsome features, bearing some resemblance to Lucas Shaw, also wearing a white lab coat.

This must be Lucas Shaw’s elder brother, Liam Shaw.

“Hello young lady, my name is Professor Parker, Mason Parker.” Professor Parker, who always had a stern face and a dreadful temper, extended his hand to Serena Summers, his eyes filled with excitement.

Serena Summers greeted Professor Parker politely.

Due to the excessive exertion, her little face was deathly pale, devoid of any color.

But it still could not hide her delicate and stunning features.

Professor Parker, excitedly leaning in close and worried his enthusiasm would startle the young lady, quickly lowered his voice and asked, “Is that set of acupuncture techniques the Red Phoenix Thirteen Needles?

Who did you learn it from?

What is your relation to Victor Bennett?”

Serena Summers answered honestly, “You have a keen eye indeed, that was the Red Phoenix Thirteen Needles, taught to me by my master.”

Professor Parker stared with his eyes wide in shock, “Victor Bennett has taken disciples?

Wasn’t he resolute in not taking any disciples in his lifetime?”

The Divine Healer Victor Bennett was a sensation in Corland back in the day.

Twenty years ago, he was known for his carefree and uninhibited demeanor.

But no one knew what happened after that, Victor Bennett seemed to have become a different person overnight.

He bid farewell to all his friends and vanished without a trace.

Many people have been searching for Victor Bennett’s whereabouts over the years, but to no avail.

Serena Summers blinked her eyes in confusion, “You know my master?”

Professor Parker: “Of course!

Back in the day, your master and I often exchanged medical knowledge.

But then he disappeared without saying goodbye, and I’ve been looking for him for over twenty years!”

Professor Parker was quite irate when reminiscing about this.

They had agreed to explore medical knowledge together, yet he disappeared without a trace, not even leaving a word.

Liam Shaw, who had been standing in the background the entire time, gently coughed to interrupt the conversation between Professor Parker and Serena Summers.

He pointed to Lucas Shaw who had fallen unconscious on the bed and asked, “How is Lucas doing?”

Just then, Elena Ryan, who had been standing at the door, suddenly rushed in, her eyes full of sorrow.

“Professor Parker, please hurry and check on Lucas.

Serena Summers insisted on showing off her medical skills at this critical moment.

She is young and less experienced than you; if anything goes wrong, how could we bear it!” she exclaimed, a stream of tears flowing from her eyes.

Professor Parker, whose sleeve was being pulled, felt somewhat embarrassed.

If he hadn’t been completely aware of the Shaw Family’s situation, he would have been deceived by Elena Ryan’s maternal façade.

Who in S City didn’t know that Elena Ryan wished for Lucas Shaw to die soon?

Moreover, her words clearly belittled Serena Summers’ treatment of Lucas Shaw, treating it as the whimsical tantrum of a child.

Feeling uncomfortable in his heart to see someone he regarded highly demeaned, Professor Parker cleared his throat and said, “Mrs.

Shaw, rest assured, the poison in the Second Young Master’s body has been controlled.

The Shaw Family has really stumbled upon a treasure this time.

This young girl may look young, but her medical skills are definitely not inferior to mine!”

Saying that, Professor Parker suddenly burst into hearty laughter, his voice filled with joy and satisfaction.

Elena Ryan was momentarily dumbfounded, looking at Professor Parker with disbelief, she asked, “Professor Parker, are you joking?

There are hardly a handful in Corland whose medical skills surpass yours.

How could Serena Summers possibly…!”

“I never joke about medical skills, Mrs.

Shaw.

Shouldn’t you be happy that there is a chance for the Second Young Master to be healed?” said Professor Parker, looking seriously at Elena Ryan.
