Chapter 546
“Okay!” Without wasting any more time, Ruby took her phone out to give Dustin a call, and she briefly told him what had happened.
“I’ll be there right away.” Dustin ended the call and rushed over to the hospital.
By the time he reached, Ruby’s mother had already been transferred to the VIP ward. Although she was no longer in critical danger, she remained unconscious. When Dustin entered the ward, he noticed that there was quite a small crowd gathered there. Most of them were doctors, and some were bodyguards.
“Dustin! You’re here!” Ruby’s face lit up with hope when she saw him.
“Is this the miracle doctor that you mentioned, Ruby?” As George looked Dustin up and down, he unconsciously frowned. This man was much younger than he’d thought. How medically skilled could a man in his twenties be?
“Don’t judge a book by its cover, Dad! Dustin might be young, but he’s really good at what he does! It only took him a glance and he knew what was wrong with Mom.” Ruby assured.
“Forgive me for being blunt, Miss Xenos, but maybe it was just a lucky guess,” Dr. Alden said. At Dustin’s age, even if he had been practicing medicine since the day he was born, he’d only have 20 -odd years of experience under his belt. If Dr. Alden himself, who had been practicing medicine for over 40 years, could not tell what was wrong with her, how could this young chap?
“Are you sure, young man?” George asked tentatively.
“I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t,” Dustin answered plainly.
“Alright then, you’ll be handsomely rewarded if you can heal my wife,” George told him earnestly. “Mr. Xenos, are you really going to let him treat her?” Dr. Alden asked with furrowed brows. “Mrs. Xenos is not in a good condition right now. What if anything happens to her?”
“It can’t go any worse than it already is.” George shook his head. What difference would it make whether his wife remained in a coma for the rest of her life or if she were to be dead?
“But-” Dr. Alden wanted to continue but was promptly cut off by George. “Please go ahead, young man.”
Dustin nodded and walked over to Mrs. Xenos‘ bedside before reaching out to check her vitals. A short while later, he told them, “Mrs. Xenos is suffering from severe intracranial hemorrhage which is putting pressure on her nerves. If we don’t get that sorted out immediately, she might end up in a permanently vegetative state.”
Everyone was shocked when they heard what he had to say. Even Dr. Alden, who had doubted his abilities just a while ago, looked astonished. Dustin had simply done a quick check on Mrs. Xenos‘ vitals and was able to tell them exactly what was wrong with her. Was he really that capable? “Can you heal her, young man?” George was instantly enlivened as he saw a spark of hope. He hadn’t held out much hope initially, but judging from what Dustin had just said, he could tell that Dustin really knew what he was doing.
“It wouldn’t be difficult. All that needs to be done is to drain out the blood and see that she takes her medications on time,” Dustin said.
“Draining intracranial blood is no easy feat, young man. Besides, with Mrs. Xenos‘ condition, surgery is not an option,” Dr. Alden reminded Dustin. Ultimately, he still refused to believe that Dustin was better than him.
“Who said anything about surgery? This can easily be done with needling,” Dustin said matter–of- factly.
“Needling? Are you kidding me?” Dr. Alden frowned. There was a life on the line. This wasn’t a simple task!
“You don’t believe me? Let’s try and see, shall we?” Dustin couldn’t be bothered to explain any further.
Without saying much more, he took out some silver needles and inserted them into Mrs. Xenos‘ pressure points. One right on top of the head, one near the front hairline, one by each ear, one above each eye, and finally, one on each side of her nape. After inserting all the needles, Dustin channeled energy from within him and directed it toward the needles. The needles vibrated and gave out a soft buzzing sound. Then, wisps of true energy traveled along the silver needles into Mrs. Xenos‘ pressure points.
A brief while later, two streams of black blood trickled out of her nose. The blood flowed out in steady streams until it gradually turned into fresh blood, which was crimson red before it slowly stopped.
“She’ll be fine now.” In one swift motion, Dustin extracted all the needles and kept them neatly in his pocket.
“That’s all? You-” Before Dr. Alden could complete his sentence, Mrs. Xenos groaned softly, and her eyes fluttered open.
