Chapter 10
James used the Life Gem to assess Sophia's condition.
[Gallbladder perforation, liver damage, severe abdominal bleeding...]
[The energy of the Life Gem is insufficient for repair, but it can be used to perform acupuncture to treat the patient...]
Just as James feared yesterday, a white glow from the Life Gem could improve Sophia's condition a bit, but it wasn't enough to get her through the critical period.
James could only rely on the medical skills he had learned that morning.
Seeing James's actions, Mark was infuriated. "Who is this bastard?"
"What have you done to Sophia?"
"Don't you know Sophia is dead? Why are you tampering with her body?"
Sophia's death was already heartbreaking and regrettable, and now James was manhandling her body, which was simply inhumane.
Mark angrily stepped forward to pull James away.
At this critical moment, James couldn't possibly stop. Shaking his arm, he flung Mark away.
Mark staggered backward, nearly falling to the ground.
James then took out the newly purchased silver needles and began to administer them to Sophia.
With the first needle, Sophia's pale body instantly gained a hint of rosiness.
It was as if the sun had dispelled the darkness.
Mark was about to rush forward to push James away, but he stopped dead in his tracks when he witnessed this scene.
His face was full of shock.
"The patient is dead, and you're sticking needles in her? Do you think you're a Jesus ?"
"And you dare to push Doctor Sun, drag him out, drag him out!"
The medical staff, blocked by Mark and James, hadn't seen the miraculous moment, so they all started to condemn James.
"James! Do you know what you're doing?" Mary, who had squeezed in through the door, was also panicked. "Come out, you're not a doctor; don't interfere with the doctors saving lives."
She really didn't understand what was wrong with James's nerves, a househusband attempting to save lives, which was ridiculous.
Moreover, this was Olivia's daughter. If she lost her temper, not even ten lives would be enough for James to pay.
It seemed the misunderstanding from the morning had driven James out of his mind.
Why couldn't this man be more mature over such a small matter?
A dozen medical staff rolled up their sleeves and charged forward.
"Ms. Lee, stop them," James shouted at Olivia, "Give me five minutes, and I'll return Sophia to you."
"Anyway, she's already dead; what worse outcome could there be?"
Initially devastated, Olivia was jolted awake by James's shout.
In the past, she would have never believed her daughter could be saved, but yesterday's on-site treatment had given her hope.
James was capable of miracles.
Olivia said, "Let James save her."
Her sad face instantly turned stern as she blocked the medical staff and commanded, "If you can't save her, let Brother Ye try."
Although Olivia was a woman and only in her twenties, her presence was overpowering when she asserted herself.
The medical staff instantly halted.
"Ms. Lee, can you be rational, please?" One doctor shouted, "Your daughter is gone; don't let people torment her anymore; let her rest in peace."
Another nurse also spoke up in distress, "No, we must call the police, let them arrest this bastard."
Many of them were parents themselves and couldn't bear to see James treat Sophia this way.
The medical staff stepped back a few paces to block the door, preventing James from causing trouble and escaping.
Mary also looked at Olivia and said, "Ms. Lee, James is my husband. He really doesn't know medicine. Don't let him mess around."
Olivia's face was genuine, and she said, "I believe in him."
Mary said, "Ms. Lee."
She was blocked from speaking, thinking, 'How could Olivia be so unreasonable?'
She couldn't understand why Olivia trusted James, whom the Smith family had deemed worthless.
It was ridiculous to her, and it also made her feel uncomfortable.
Seeing James so valued by another woman, especially someone like Olivia...
Patients and family members who had gathered at the door also showered James with insults.
Sophia was dead; let her rest in peace. Tampering with the body, wasn't that disturbing the peace of the deceased?
As for saving her, that was a joke. With the heartbeat stopped, how could she possibly be brought back to life?
No one believed in James, they all shouted to call the police to arrest him, preferably to be shot on the spot.
Mark, however, wasn't shouting anymore; he was staring intently at James's silver needles.
Because he realized that James's acupuncture skills were extremely sophisticated! Even superior to his own!
He trembled as he took out his phone to record James performing acupuncture.
This way, he could learn from it later!
Just as the burly security guards rushed in, a crisp sound from the machine startled everyone in the ward.
She was followed by a series of 'beeping' sounds.
Olivia looked up, her face turned to utter disbelief.
The few doctors at the front were dumbfounded, their faces filled with fear.
The flat line on the machine had begun to fluctuate.
Sophia's heartbeat, pulse, and breathing were all resuming.
It started slowly, but in less than five seconds, it reached a frequency of ten times per minute.
Though still dangerous compared to a healthy person, it signified a possibility that Sophia was really alive!
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. A patient who had been declared beyond resuscitation was now regaining a heartbeat?
It was as if they had seen a ghost!
How could this be?
How could someone whose brain waves had ceased still regain a heartbeat?
How was this achieved?
Regardless of whether they believed it or not, Sophia's heartbeat gradually recovered.
Ten beats!
Twenty beats!
Thirty beats!
...
Sixty beats!
We are reaching the normal range!
She was alive!
Mark fell to his knees with a thud, thinking, 'He is truly a Miracle Doctor!'
"Sophia has come back to life; she needs treatment!" James shouted, "Hurry up and help!"
This was his first time performing acupuncture to save someone, and many aspects needed to be handled delicately, which was especially draining on his spirit.
Startled by his shout, Mark and several others didn't hesitate to rush forward to treat Sophia.
Everyone's faces were filled with utter astonishment.
Many doctors, while examining her, couldn't help but glance at James, thinking, 'This young man is too miraculous; he really brought the dead back to life...'
Mary was also in shock, staring at the composed James, momentarily in a daze, thinking, 'Is he the kept man I remembered?'
