Carlos was an authority in internal medicine, and in his view, the acupuncture techniques of Chinese medicine were nothing more than tricks.
After the nine needles were inserted, three seconds later, the old man’s body suddenly trembled, and Leo quickly removed the mask from his mouth.
“Ugh…”
The old man suddenly turned his head and vomited a mouthful of black blood.
His chest heaved up and down, each breath coming in quick succession before gradually settling into a more regular rhythm.
The appearance of this scene left everyone’s expressions frozen once again.
If the previous recovery of the heartbeat was the first miracle, then the recovery of breathing now was the second one.
Leo removed the silver needles from the old man’s chest one by one, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and looked at Harry, saying, “Finally, he’s saved.”
Seeing the gradual recovery of his father’s vital signs on the monitor, Harry’s face was filled with overwhelming gratitude.
“Young man, I was making a mistake just now and nearly make my own father lose life!” Harry’s expression turned into self-blame. “I’m truly an unqualified son!”
After saying that, Harry slapped himself hard.
“Brother, don’t be like this.” Venus quickly grabbed his hand.
With Venus’s comforting, Harry’s emotions stabilized a bit, and then he looked at Leo. “By the way, young man, what’s your name?”
“My name is Leo Bloomer.”
“Leo, I must apologize to you. I hope you don’t mind my ignorance earlier.”
“Mr. Toby, there’s no need to be like this. I completely understand how you feel,” Leo said humbly. “Even though I saved your father’s life, for him to fully recover and get out of bed, I need to administer acupuncture two more times. I’ll return tomorrow at noon for the next session. For now, I’ll take my leave.”
After saying that, Leo walked towards the door.
Carlos looked at Leo’s back, his expression complicated. He never could have imagined that today he would witness a medical miracle in the hands of a young man.
Although his reputation was tarnished here, it was not in vain to witness the miraculous Chinese medical skills.
At this moment, Venus suddenly remembered something and hurriedly stopped Leo.
“Leo, wait, give me your bank account information.”
Leo turned around and said, “Miss Toby, it’s not urgent. You can pay me the consultation fee after I completely cure your father’s illness. No rush.”
“Okay, we’ll wait for you at the hospital tomorrow at noon.” Venus’s face was filled with gratitude.
Leo pushed open the door and walked out. The gazes of the four people outside immediately focused on him.
“Leo, you… you saved that old man?” If Sophia hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t believe that Leo could heal and save people.
What happened to this man? How did he suddenly understand medical skills? Did he secretly attend traditional Chinese medicine classes during these four years in this family?
It shouldn’t be like that. During these years, he was mostly staying at home, either doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, or playing games.
What happened today completely overturned Sophia’s understanding of Leo.
Leo nodded and simply said, “Let’s go home.”
The feelings of Jessica and Tina at this moment were similar to Sophia’s. Although they couldn’t comprehend everything that happened with Leo today, the most important thing was that everything was resolved perfectly.
Gilbert didn’t return home with Jessica and the others. He had just returned to Langstel today and needed his father to take him to meet some important people, paving the way for his future life here.
Looking at Leo’s figure disappearing around the corner, Gilbert sneered, “Leo, no matter how lucky you may think you are, I will ensure you fail when you’re in my hands. Just wait and see.”
Forty minutes later, the Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of the Henley family’s villa.
After Sophia and the others got out of the car, Leo parked the car in the garage.
Entering the living room of the villa, Sophia’s father, Martin Henley, had already returned and was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
Martin used to work in the local tax office. After retirement, he started a company in partnership with someone else. Ten years later, the company went public successfully, and Martin became a director of the company. Although he didn’t handle any affairs in the company, he held five percent of the company’s shares, which brought him considerable annual dividends.
“Papa, we’re back!” Tina called out and went upstairs.
Martin put down the newspaper and looked at Jessica, asking, “Where did you go? I heard that something happened to Sophia. What’s the situation now?”
“Thanks to your son-in-law, everything is resolved,” Jessica took a sip of water and replied.
“Oh, what happened?” Martin glanced at Leo.
Jessica briefly explained to Martin.
Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Martin curiously asked, “Leo, when did you learn medical skills?”
“I don’t know medical skills. I’ve just read a few books on traditional Chinese medicine in the past two years,” Leo naturally wouldn’t tell the truth.
Sophia interrupted, “Dad, he just got lucky today. It was just a fluke that he happened to save someone. Don’t really think he can heal and save people.”
Martin thought about it. He was well aware of Leo’s capabilities as his son-in-law. With a wave of his hand, he said, “Leo, go and cook.”
Leo didn’t say anything further and walked towards the kitchen.
During these four years, as part of the family, Leo took care of all the household chores and cooking. Rather than being the son-in-law of the Henley family, it was more accurate to say that he was the Henley family’s servant.
Leo had made up his mind. After curing Harry’s father and getting his first sum of money, he would propose a divorce to Sophia and completely leave the Henley family to start his new life.
After dinner, just like before, in order not to be an eyesore to the Henley family, Leo returned to his own bedroom. He planned to try using the mysterious energy that had appeared in his body to see if there were any other uses.
Just at that moment, his phone rang.
Taking it out, he saw a a virtual number dialed through the internet.
Leo hung up directly.
Just as he put the phone back on the nightstand, it rang again, and it was the same number calling.
Leo hung up once again.
Then it called again.
Leo pressed the answer button, ready to scold the caller, but the voice that came through the receiver instantly froze his body.
“Leo, do you remember me?” The voice was hoarse and low.
“It’s you!” Leo could never forget the person who had caused him three years of agony with a single injection.
“Huh, congratulations on surviving.” The laughter from the other end of the line was unpleasant.
“What do you mean?”
“Among the numerous test subjects, you’re the only one who survived after three years.”
“Test subjects?” Leo had a bad premonition.
“Don’t be afraid. Since you survived, it means that you are blessed. Have you already used the energy in your body? Check now, is the energy inside you a bit less?”
