The burly men moved toward me, closing in menacingly.
“Wait!” I shouted. “Who said I’m a fraud? I am a real doctor!”
I rushed to Rigel’s bedside and immediately inserted silver needles into several key acupoints.
The next moment, Rigel’s body twitched, and a faint murmur slipped from his lips.
Seeing this, Tessa rushed over, tears flooding her eyes.
“Rigel!”
Everyone stood in stunned silence. For ten years, Rigel had shown no signs of life, and even the most renowned doctors had failed. Yet, this seemingly powerless woman had stirred a reaction in him.
James’s shock was evident. He had long believed his only grandson had no hope of recovery.
His eyes brightened as he turned to me.
“You… How did you do that?”
I carefully put away the needles and sighed.
“I told you. I’m a doctor. Healing is in my blood.”
I ignored Jaxon’s disbelieving stare, my gaze flicking to the scattered medicine. I then looked meaningfully at Arabelle.
“If you hadn’t barged in and interrupted me, perhaps Rigel would be even closer to waking up now.”
Understanding the mockery in my words, Arabelle screamed in fury.
“You must have used black magic! Mr. Montgomery, don’t trust her!”
