Darren walked out of the emergency room with his wife, looking at the doctors and nurses outside. He asked loudly, “Who used acupuncture to save my daughter?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lynn stepped forward and looked at Darren. “Mr. Hansom, I just did what a medical professional should do.”
Darren was momentarily surprised by the young nurse standing before him. Such a young nurse who understood acupuncture and had managed to bring his daughter back from the brink of death was unexpected.
Dr. Mond approached them and pointed at Lynn, saying, “Mr. Hansom, her name is Lynn Anderson, and she’s a nurse at our hospital. She’s the one who saved your daughter.”
After the initial surprise wore off, Darren took out a checkbook and a pen from his pocket and quickly wrote something down. He tore off a check and handed it to Lynn. “Miss Anderson, thank you for saving my daughter. Please accept this.”
Lynn took the check, glanced at it, and her head spun for a moment.
Oh my, ten million dollars!
She wouldn’t be able to earn that much even if she worked at the hospital for several lifetimes.
“Mr. Hansom, you’re too kind,” Lynn managed to say, suppressing her overwhelming excitement.
Seeing Lynn accept the money without hesitation, Dr. Mond furrowed her brows slightly but remained silent.
“Miss Anderson, my daughter is still unconscious. Will there be any complications after the surgery?” Windy asked anxiously.
“Well…” Lynn hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to answer because she was completely in the dark about Nana’s condition. However, she understood the importance of not revealing too much. She put on a serious expression and replied, “It’s hard to say about complications at this stage. We’ll have to wait until after the surgery. What I did was save your daughter’s life; the rest will depend on the surgery.”
With this simple statement, Lynn pushed the responsibility onto others.
“Miss Anderson, during the surgery, will my daughter be in any life-threatening danger?” Windy still couldn’t help but worry.
Darren, on the other hand, was a bit impatient with his wife’s fussing. “Windy, if Miss Anderson could bring our daughter back from the brink of death, she’ll definitely be there during the surgery. Besides, with Dr. Mond in charge, Nana will be just fine.”
Darren’s words held a deeper meaning – since Lynn had accepted his ten million dollars, he expected her to be present throughout the surgery to ensure its success.
Dr. Mond understood Darren’s implied request and reassured him, “Mr. Hansom, don’t worry. Lynn will be there during the surgery, and I believe that with her remarkable acupuncture skills, she can handle any unexpected situations.”
Dr. Mond’s words made Lynn’s heart sink. Seeing the expectant gaze of Darren and his wife, she could only reluctantly nod.
At this moment, all she could do was pray that Nana would come out of the surgery without any problems. If anything went wrong, she might have to return the ten million dollars and potentially lose her nursing career.
Meanwhile, Renee and Leo had left the scene of the accident and were now sitting in an upscale restaurant. The table was set with delicious food.
Renee checked her phone and then handed it to Leo. It displayed news about the recent accident.
“The person you saved is named Nana Hansom, the daughter of Langstel real estate tycoon Darren Hansom,” Renee said.
Leo took the phone, scrolled through the news, and found it quite overwhelming. According to the report, Nana had one foot in the grave after the accident, but a nurse named Lynn had used acupuncture to bring her back.
The news article was accompanied by pictures, and the most prominent one was of Lynn in her white nurse uniform, holding a silver needle and striking a pose.
The article ended with comments from internet users, some speculating that Lynn was a hidden medical genius within the hospital, while others mentioned Lynn receiving a ten million-dollar reward from the Hansoms.
Furthermore, Lynn had created a TikTok account specifically for this incident, and her number of followers was skyrocketing.
Leo continued scrolling through the article, seemingly unaffected by the news. He gave the phone back to Lynn and began cutting his steak. It was as if this news had nothing to do with him.
Renee took the phone back, giving Leo a curious glance, and took a sip of her red wine. She smiled, “You’re so calm even though someone else is taking credit for your heroics.”
Leo raised his red wine glass and smiled back at Renee. “Let her enjoy the spotlight for now. What goes into her belly will soon come out.”
After their lunch, the two of them headed to the parking lot. Leo noticed that Renee was walking with an unusual gait.
“What happened to your foot?” Leo asked, concerned.
Renee smiled, “I twisted it during the accident, but it’s nothing.”
Leo crouched down to examine her ankle. It was visibly swollen, with a slight redness.
“You did twist your ankle. Right now, you only have mild discomfort, but it will likely worsen by evening,” Leo diagnosed.
“Oh, what should I do? Should I get some ointment or medicine?” Renee was worried.
“No need. Come to the car; I’ll take care of it.”
They reached the car, and Leo opened the rear door. He motioned for Renee to sit inside, and then he crouched down to lift her right foot and remove her high-heeled shoe.
As Leo held Renee’s foot in his hands, he couldn’t help but notice the contrast between her beautiful, fair skin and his own touch. His heart raced for a moment.
Leo quickly suppressed his inappropriate thoughts. “I’m going to massage it now. It might feel a bit tingly, but bear with it,” he warned.
Renee bit her lip and nodded. The action of a beautiful woman biting her lip was incredibly tempting to any normal man.
Leo held Renee’s ankle and began massaging. Simultaneously, he channeled a bit of spiritual energy.
Renee felt a strange but pleasant sensation spreading from her ankle. It was an indescribable feeling, but it was undeniably enjoyable.
Renee’s body completely relaxed, and she reclined in the back seat.
She had tried luxury spa massages during her free time, but none of the professional therapists had given her the same sense of comfort and relaxation that she was feeling now.
In this moment, she wished time would stand still.
