Even though the old man considered it unlikely, he still did as he was asked and precisely applied pressure on those two pressure points.
Holding the needle in her hands, Diana took a deep breath to calm her nerves down before she suddenly and swiftly placed three needles simultaneously unto the pressure points on the supposed dead patients forehead.
The old man’s eyes almost popped out of it’s socket when he saw how Diana accurately placed the three needles unto the three pressure points on her forehead, without any slightest mistake even though she placed them at the same time.
Even after many decades of practicing medicine and was an expert with high level experience, he had never been able to place them so accurately at the same time.
Even at that, with these extraordinary skills and capabilities. He had never succeeded or heard of someone bringing back the dead to life!
While the old man was deep in thoughts, Diana had already inserted eleven needles at different acupoint all over the supposed dead patients body.
With a sigh, she inserted the twelfth needle. Tiredness colouring her face entirely.
Her assistant’s and the old man’s face turned from dignified seriousness to a flabbergasted one when they saw the layout of the silver prickles.
The junior army medical gawked in astonishment from the get-go. She had Diana as her mentor and watching her demonstrate her superb skills didn’t only surprised her, it amazed her.
It was at this particular point in time that the patient who was supposed to be dead let out a small breath and her fingers twitched a little.
She was finally awakening….
Shocked, the old man recovered from his frozen state and stammered, “Did ….. Did – … Did she just brought her back to life? Woah, what technique did you just applied?” Although, he already had a guess in his heart, he was still finding it hard to believe it. So, he had to ask.
“The soul energization technique!” Diana answered with a straight face, tired from applying the technique.
“Just as I thought!” The old man gulped. “I had thought this technique had been lost over the Century. I didn’t think I’d be able to witness a miracle doctor use it”. The old man bowed and apologized, “pardon my ignorance!”
In a short while, the news had spread all through the base and had managed to make its way to the news headlines.
It was now the talk of the city in such a short time .
General Derrick was highly impressed when he heard the news. Even the three little rascals were proud of her. They just can’t wait to meet her, they hadn’t seen her since dawn.
Presently they were seated in the dinning room having their breakfast after they took their bath.
Chioma was having a thought as regards to their mum’s loneliness, thus her appetite was little….
Meanwhile, at the central district of the City.
General Richard arrived before a very big bungalow with two soldiers accompanying him in a Lexus car.
He had managed to find out late Nanny Amelia’s husband and successfully tracked him to this location.
He got down from the car and asked the two soldiers accompanying him to wait behind .
He walked over to the gate and placed a knock!
After the fifth set of knocks a grey haired man finally popped his head out, answering and opening the gate.
“Who is that?” He inquired as he opened the one man entrance door by the gate.
“Good day sir!” Richard greeted,
The old man glanced at him head to toe, he had never seen him before so he asked, “Who are you? And why are you here?
“I’m adjutant general Richard. The aide de camp to the five star general. Are you Mr David?” Richard Introduced himself and accompanied it with a question. He needed to be sure the man before him was Mr David.
David was taken aback when the strangers Introduction registered. Why would someone as powerful as the five star generals aide de camp knock on his gate? He shivered with fear, “I hope all is well?” He had done nothing to warrant an adjutant generals visit, thus he was able to balance himself.
“No Sir, there is no problem at all, can I come in? I just want to have a discussion with you!” Richard stated.
David looked at him again, he had to look behind him and sideways before he caught sight of the Lexus car with two burly men sitting inside. David needed to be sure he was safe, he is always cautions of his vicinity.
“Are they with you?” David asked,
“Yes! And this is my ID card if you doubt me!” Richard answered, showing his ID card to David.
“Alright come in!” David allowed him in once he confirmed the strangers identity.
Inside the living room in the bungalow, Richard was seated on a couch and David sat opposite to him.
Clearly, he was the only one leaving in this big house. The surrounding was all quiet. Richard wondered why he would be leaving alone…
“What can I offer you?” David requested, showing his kind gesture.
“Oh nothing. I’m cool…. uhm, actually I’m here to inquire about someone….” Richard started.
“Who?”
“Your daughter! Where is she?”
Once David heard this, pains and guilt surged through him. His mind seemed to snap in on itself, like a rubber band, and she reeled soundlessly into a whirlwind of images cast against the insides of him. The pains he had tried to bury had resurfaced again. Bitter Regrets filled him now.
Richard watched him closely, he was pained to see a grown up man crying. Tears were already flowing down David’s cheek.
“If god’s can cry , who then is a man?”
For over twenty years now, he had been living with regrets of casting his only daughter away and now someone is asking of her .
“Hello sir?” Richard said, cutting through David’s world of regrets.
David heaved a long sigh, and tried to remain calm, “I have no idea about her whereabouts. If you do please tell me! I have been a father!” With the words coming out, he lamented and soaked himself in regret the more.
***********
Presently at the military basement, it was already Diana’s break period and she felt she needed to rest, but she was afraid to face her kid’s without their father.
Anamika already confessed to her that Mr X, the owner of the Legendary Erotic Bar is the gigolo from that night. Diana had no idea how he looks, but one thing is for sure, he has a lifelike eagle tattooed on his back. As Diana thought about that, the more she vividly remembered the tattoo. There were practically no way she would mistake it.
She snapped out of her oneirism and ordered a two star general to make arrangements for her, that she would heading out of the base to sort some issue out.
