Only a few of the Carver family cars were speeding along.
Theodore shared a car with his son.
“Dad, can Optimus Clinic really cure Old Master Carver?” Theodore’s son asked.
Theodore glanced at him and said with a smile, “Mr. Lennon cured my and Ol’ Carver’s old injuries. Mr. Lennon isn’t an ordinary person. Since he promised to help Of Carver, Ol’ Carver will surely recover!”
Theodore’s son felt a flicker of dismay when he saw his father put so much trust in Jagoan. However, he soon gathered his thoughts and stopped overthinking.
Without making any stops, the Carver family’s motorcade arrived in front of Optimus Clinic within five minutes.
Optimus Clinic’s patients lined up in an orderly manner as usual, waiting to be treated by doctors.
“Is that Old Master Carver in the car?” One of Jagoan’s apprentices went up and asked.
Without any nonsense, the Carver family members in the car immediately nodded and called the others to take Michael into Optimus Clinic along with his hospital bed.
With Jagoan’s apprentice leading the way, Michael was wheeled into a room at the back of Optimus Clinic.
“Was that old man Old Master Carver?”
“He’s Old Master Carver. I’ve seen him before, but how did Old Master Carver end up like this?”
“Oh, Old Master Carver’s a good man. He has contributed to Ocean City’s charitable organizations for years. How did a good man like Old Master Carver end up like this…”
“Oh, it’s all right. Optimus Clinic is great at medicine. Old Master Carver will be fine!”
Jagoan had already prepared everything in the room.
When Theodore found him earlier, Theodore had already told him about Michael’s situation, so Jagoan was ready for Michael’s arrival.
“Mr. Lennon! Please save Old Master Carver!” The Carver family wheeled Michael into the room, looked at Jagoan, and said.
Jagoan nodded slightly and said, “Leave Old Master Carver in here. And all of you get out.”
As the room door closed, Jagoan walked over to the hospital bed. Looking at the pale old man in the hospital bed with only a slight heaving in his chest, Jagoan sighed inwardly.
“I got you into trouble this time…” Jagoan whispered.
Then, five silver needles appeared in his hand, and he quickly inserted five silver needles into Michael’s five acupoints without hesitation. Each silver needle was inserted into the body by an inch, but not a single blood flowed out.
“Your injuries are so serious…” Jagoan muttered to himself as Michael still had no response after he inserted five silver needles into Michael’s body.
Then, he took out five more silver needles and inserted them into Michael’s body again. Ten silver needles stuck in Michael’s body and glimmered in the sunlight.
As time passed, the people waiting outside the room looked anxious.
