The Invincible Mercenary King

Chapter 24

Her firm stance made the doctor and nurse frown, and they had no choice but to carry out an electrocardiogram without pulling out the silver needles.

Acute ST-segment elevation was shown on the electrocardiogram.

“It is indeed a heart attack. We have to hurry back to the hospital!”

Dr. Kwen’s expression changed. He immediately asked the driver to bring the stretcher over, lifted the old man into the ambulance, and asked the girl to get in. Then they hurried off to the hospital.

On the way, Dr. Kwen and the nurse asked for information about the young girl and her grandfather.

“My name is Lucy Zabel, and my grandfather’s name is Dominic Zabel.”

“What? Your grandfather is Dominic Zabel?”

Dr. Kwen and the nurse shouted with shock in their eyes.

Dominic Zabel was the head of the largest family in Lightdom City and the deputy commander of the Lightdom Military Department.

No wonder he looked so familiar. He turned out to be a big shot.

Dr. Kwen came to his senses, took out his mobile phone, called the hospital, briefly explained the situation, and shouted, “Hurry up, ask all the doctors to gather in the emergency room and prepare for a rescue.”

In the Emergency Department of Healthbridge Hospital.

By the time the ambulance arrived, all the senior doctors were on standby.

“Hurry up!

“Get the exclusive emergency room ready! Then, prepare to treat Mr. Zabel!”

Dr. Kwen and the nurse rushed Dominic into the emergency room and began his treatment. Lucy was asked to wait outside.

“Dr. Kwen, remember, the silver needles in my grandfather’s chest must not be removed!” Lucy urged.

However, the doctors turned a deaf ear to her words.

A group of professors and famous doctors were in the room.

Charlie Crane, a well-known cardiologist, saw the silver needles on the elderly man’s chest and hissed with a reproachful look. “Treating a heart attack with acupuncture? How ridiculous is that?”

He turned to Dr. Kwen, who had returned with the ambulance, and said, “Sterling, are you the one who inserted the needles?”

“Mr. Crane, it wasn’t me. A young man did this, and the patient’s granddaughter refused to let me remove them, saying the silver needles could treat a heart attack,” Sterling quickly explained.

“A heart attack can be treated with acupuncture? Are you joking? Do you think that is possible?” Gharlie gave Sterling a contemptuous look.

“I don’t, but the patient’s granddaughter insisted…” Sterling said, aggrieved.

William Hawk, a divine physician on traditional medicine, looked at the needles scornfully and said, “Traditional medicine can treat some acute illnesses, but the needles are in a state of disorder, so there is no way this will work. The man must be a charlatan. This is going to kill Mr. Zabel!”

Upon hearing this, all the doctors in the room looked at the silver needles with disgust.

William was a renowned divine physician on traditional medicine in Lightdom City and had been trained in the Divine Healers Sect. His words were authoritative, so everyone thought the silver needles were dead weight.

“The needles are slowing down the treatment. Sterling, pull them out!” ordered Charlie coldly, his eyes filled with contempt.

As a cardiologist with years of study and training behind him, he had a disdain for quack doctors and even traditional medicine.

He believed that traditional medicine and acupuncture were nothing more than quackery.

“Do it,” he scowled. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Sterling nodded and removed all the silver needles.

The ECG machine beeped the minute the silver needles were pulled out.

Dominic’s heart rate began to accelerate, and the electrocardiogram showed the pattern of a heart attack again.

Lying on the hospital bed, Dominic spat out a mouthful of blood.

He had been in stable condition just seconds before, but now he was short of breath, his face flushed. and contorted with pain.

Charlie was horrified to see this and said hastily, “The patient’s condition has deteriorated. Perform

CPR!”

The doctors quickly plunged into emergency treatment, but no matter how hard they tried to save the man, they could not bring him back from the brink of death.

Charlie, William, Sterling, and the others looked frightened and were drenched in sweat.

If the head of the largest family in Lightdom City were to die here, their hospital would be in big

trouble.

But they were at their wits’ end.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps rang out in the corridor.

A group of men dressed in luxurious suits and shoes, with a dignified demeanor, entered.

“Doctor, how is my father?” asked the leading middle-aged man, with a sharp gaze and imposing

manner.

Charlie, William, and the others recognized the man immediately. It was Shawn Zabel, the mainstay of the Zabel family and a general of the Lightdom Military Department!

He was majestic and intimidating. As soon as he entered, all the doctors felt the attack of his powerful and domineering aura and couldn’t breathe..

“Mr. Zabel, your father’s condition is too serious. We did the best we could,” Charlie said in fear.

At that moment, Lucy rushed in. Her expression changed when her gaze fell on the pale Dominic and then on the monitor. Then, finally, she screamed, “Where are the silver needles? Who the hell took the needles out?”

Charlie and Sterling remained silent with dark expressions.

“Lucy, what are you talking about?” Shawn asked.

“Dad, the silver needles were put in by a young man who saved Grandpa’s life. I warned them not to remove the needles, but someone didn’t listen!”

Shawn erupted into fury. “Who did it?”

Charlie, William, and the others looked at one another and dared not speak.

They all knew they were in trouble!

“None of you dare admit it, do you? Okay, let me tell you, you better bring my father back to life, or you don’t know what I’m going to do! “Shawn snapped.

A terrible, murderous aura swept through the room, frightening all the doctors and nurses.

Charlie pointed to Sterling and said, “Sterling Kwen did it. He took the needles out!”

“What? Mr. Crane, I…!” Sterling was shocked.

Charlie had given the order, but now he was throwing Sterling under the bus.

A loud sound rang out.

Before Sterling could finish, Shawn walked over and punched him in the face. Sterling fell to the ground, spitting blood and his ears buzzing.

“Listen, if anything happens to my father, you will be dead meat!”

Then Shawn landed another punch on Sterling, whose face was covered in blood.

Sterling looked miserable now and deeply regretted having followed Charlie’s orders.

If he had known that the silver needles were so effective, he wouldn’t have dared to pull them out, even if that meant being fired.

At the same time, he was consumed with hatred.

He was only doing what Charlie ordered, but he ended up being a sacrificial lamb!

Shawn roared, “What are you all waiting for? Continue your treatment.”

Charlie, William, and the others rushed to the rescue without a word of protest.

They might be renowned medical professors, but they were nobody against big shots like Shawn and could only do what they were told.

They did their best but were unable to save Dominic. On the contrary, Dominic’s condition worsened as time went on. He was vomiting blood, and the ECG almost showed a straight line.

All the doctors were terrified and soaked in sweat.

Shawn and his family were looking pale and worried as well.

Dominic was the backbone of the Zabel family. If he died, the family’s influence would plummet.

Seeing Dominic’s expression, Charlie turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat.

Looking back at Shawn fearfully, he said, “Mr. Zabel, we, we did the best we could…”

“Fuck! The best you

could?”

Shawn was furious and slapped Charlie hard across the face. Charlie fell to the ground, his teeth falling out.

Sterling trembled with fear and hid behind the others, speechless with fear.

Unfortunately, he didn’t escape punishment.

To further vent his anger, Shawn knocked Sterling to the ground, then stomped heavily on Charlie’s chest. “Sterling Kwen, if anything happens to my father, you’ll die with him!”

Lucy was heartbroken to see her grandfather dying. Tears streamed down her face as she shouted, “That young man. Go find that young man.

“He must be a divine healer. Only he can save Grandpa!”

“Yes, right! He is the one who put in the silver needles. He must know how to bring Mr. Zabel back to life!” said Sterling in a panic.

Shawn immediately grabbed Sterling and threw him out of the door. He barked, “Okay, you have 30 minutes to find that doctor for me. If you can’t find him, you are doomed.”

Fear crossed Sterling’s face, and his eyes filled with despair.

There were so many people in this huge city. He didn’t even know who this young man was. Where could he find him?

Sodden with sweat and desperation, he suddenly saw Haylan rushing toward the hospital.

He was overjoyed and ran over. “Sir!”
