Supreme Mars
Chapter 3 The Lawsons
Leo went up to the master bedroom on the second floor, where a middle-aged man with greying temples and weak breath lay bedridden. His name was William Ford.
William's eyes were closed as he breathed uneasily.
Murderous rage flashed in Leo's eyes.
His father had been very healthy five years ago, but now, he had become like this...
He sat down beside William's bed to feel his pulse.
But before he could do anything, Caroline came in and pulled him away. "What are you doing? Do you think you're a doctor all of sudden?"
"I've learned some medical tricks in the past few years," Leo replied, smiling.
"Are you trying to kill my dad?"
Unexpectedly, Leo's reply made Caroline raise her voice by an octave. "You can't act like a doctor just because you have some basic medical knowledge. Do you even have a medical license?"
"Caroline, leave him. He's just putting on a show anyway." Raymond hurried over and pulled his girlfriend over to comfort her.
"But..." Caroline was still worried.
Taking advantage of their distraction, Leo examined William's pulse.
He let go of William's hand after thirty seconds and took out a box of silver needles.
"What? Are you trying to cure my dad with needles? You must be kidding me!"
Caroline grew furious at the sight of the needles. Even the most experienced specialists in Emerdale could not save her father. How could a few silver needles bring him back from the brink of death?
"Caroline, he might be your dad, but he's mine too. Why would I hurt him?" Leo forced a wry smile.
Caroline scoffed. "Who knows what's on your mind..."
Leo ignored her and pierced three silver needles into the acupuncture points on William's body, including the anterior midline of his lower abdomen, the center of his neck, and the midline of his abdomen.
He was so quick at the acupuncture process that there was no pause throughout the process.
