CHAPTER 650: CHAPTER 650: SELFISH MOTIVES?

When July Quinn finished speaking, the hand of Simon Hale, who was about to perform acupuncture, involuntarily stalled.

Julian Norman, eagerly anticipating his father’s "resurrection," immediately rebuked after hearing July Quinn’s words.

"You don’t understand acupuncture, so don’t meddle here and delay Dr. Hale from treating my father."

Julian Norman didn’t know that July Quinn’s acupuncture skills were even more renowned than her prescriptions.

Among the countless patients with difficult and complicated diseases she treated in the past, many were healed through her acupuncture.

Especially back in Westmarch, she once used her acupuncture skills to restore a teacher, who had lost hope of recovery after a stroke, to normalcy in just half an hour, allowing him to return to the podium to educate students. This story has deeply embedded itself in the hearts of every Westmarchian.

And during that treatment of the teacher, Simon Hale was also present, competing against July Quinn, and was ultimately turned into the authorities by July Quinn.

Having witnessed that acupuncture, Simon Hale knew very well that July Quinn’s acupuncture skills were far above his own.

This was why, before executing this plan today, he repeatedly instructed to keep July Quinn away from the "deceased."

He was afraid that July Quinn, by approaching the patient, would discover that he had used acupuncture to block the heart meridians.

But right now, July Quinn hadn’t even approached the patient, and wasn’t aware of the patient’s condition, yet she berated him with "if you lack skill, don’t take on difficult tasks"?

She must be trying to intimidate him!

Yes, that must be it!

She’s merely looking for a chance to get close to the patient and perform acupuncture on them herself.

In this way, she would once again "personally" heal the patient, clearing her reputation from being labeled an incompetent doctor, and avoid imprisonment!

No, she absolutely couldn’t be allowed to sabotage his plan.

This time, he must finish what he started and ensure July Quinn is sent to prison!

"Young lady, I know you don’t want to admit your failure, but as a healer, you mustn’t be so capricious, using patients’ lives as a stepping stone to fame. Doing everything in our power to restore patients to health is what we as doctors should do."

Simon Hale’s words of reason quickly won him applause from the crowd.

"Yes, that is what being a healer is. Unlike some incompetent doctor, who for personal gain, lacks skill and still prevents capable people from saving lives!"

"Dr. Hale, you have shown us what a real healer should be like."

"From now on, we should find Dr. Hale for treatment and definitely not be tempted by small advantages again. Of course, it would be even better if Dr. Hale could lower the treatment fees a bit."

Amidst the acclamation of the crowd, Simon Hale still showed a humble demeanor to listen to everyone’s suggestions.

"I’ve heard all your feedback, and I will certainly improve in the future. But right now, the most important thing is to perform acupuncture on this elder, or we’ll miss the chance to save him. Please make some space!"

Under Simon Hale’s guidance, many people automatically made some space.

Simon Hale also picked up the needle, ready to insert it into a certain acupoint.

But once again, July Quinn spoke: "Think carefully, inserting the needle into this acupoint will truly disrupt the heart meridian and cause the blood to surge wildly. At that point, this old gentleman will really have his life hanging by a thread."

Simon Hale was stalled again.

He knew that July Quinn was the top successor of the Monroe Family of her generation.

Her medical skills were definitely far above his own.

So, could it be that she really saw something?

Would inserting the needle into this acupoint really cause the elder’s heart meridian to disrupt and the blood to surge?

No!

It shouldn’t be!

He clearly remembered that inserting the needle into this acupoint should unlock the previously blocked heart meridian.

It must be July Quinn fear-mongering.

At this time, Julian Norman also urged: "Dr. Hale, don’t mind her, quickly save my father."

Thus, Simon Hale, with a relentless spirit, gave the elder the acupuncture...
