CHAPTER 112: CHAPTER 112: HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

Although she was kicked out of the office by someone, July Quinn finally arranged a meal.

However, Mr. Straight-Laced had to work overtime, so July Quinn had to get to the restaurant she booked earlier.

Just as she was about to sit down by the window she had chosen, a crowd suddenly gathered outside the glass window.

While July Quinn was feeling puzzled, she overheard two waiters gossiping.

"It seems like an elderly man just fainted."

"An elderly man? Could it be a sudden heart attack?"

"I don’t know, they’ve already called an ambulance."

Upon hearing this, July Quinn hurried out of the restaurant.

Because she knew that if it was a sudden heart attack, waiting for the ambulance to get to the hospital might be too late.

So she rushed into the crowd and quickly dispersed the onlookers.

Then, after checking the elderly man and confirming it was indeed a sudden heart attack, she took out her set of silver needles and started performing acupuncture on him.

"No way! Why is she using acupuncture? Doesn’t TV say to use an AED?"

"Yeah, by the time she’s finished with the needles, this elderly man will probably be drinking soup with the Grim Reaper."

Although part of the crowd had dispersed, there were still a few onlookers nearby.

Seeing July Quinn perform acupuncture on the old man, they started whispering.

Besides, some well-meaning individuals had already fetched the mall’s AED and were preparing to use it on the old man.

But with July Quinn’s needles still in his body, regular folks weren’t sure what to do.

"This is definitely delaying the rescue time."

"Just afraid some people think they’re smart but end up causing harm, ruining everything."

Most people haven’t seen such young acupuncture practitioners; the ones they know are usually older.

But this young woman performing acupuncture on the elderly man looked quite youthful.

How skilled could someone like this possibly be?

Perhaps precisely because of this, the middle-aged woman who brought the AED tried to persuade July Quinn to remove the needles and use the AED first.

But just as the middle-aged woman stepped forward, something unexpected happened.

The old man opened his eyes!

The people who had just been criticizing July Quinn quickly changed their tune.

"Oh my God, he really woke up."

"Seems like this young lady is impressive, having such acupuncture skills at a young age."

"The future of traditional Chinese medicine looks promising."

However, July Quinn ignored both the criticism and the praise, simply helping the old man sit up and feeding him a black medicinal pill.

It was a pill made from the mystical flower of You County, with just over ten pills in total.

July Quinn had taken five before, and her heart had regained vitality.

But to completely cure it, surgery was still necessary.

So she’s been carrying the remaining ones with her for emergencies like this.

She felt grateful she had brought the pills today.

Otherwise, the old man’s heart attack was so severe that even if the acupuncture revived him, he would probably still have lasting problems.

But with the pill from the mystical flower of You County, his heart should return to normal in about half an hour.

"Swallow it, you’ll get better soon."

The old man was initially a bit panicked, but under July Quinn’s guidance, he took the pill.

Soon, his pulse stabilized.

July Quinn kept an eye on him until the ambulance took him away to the hospital.

But after saving the man and returning to the restaurant, July Quinn was greeted with Kyle Keaton’s sulky face.

"Honey, why do you look like I owe you millions? It’s scary."

July Quinn laughed as she wrapped her arm around Kyle Keaton’s arm and nuzzled her playful face against his shoulder.
