Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 1257

“...Oh? I don't think I've mentioned when the next attack will happen, right? How do you make an accurate guess, Gerald?” serenity asked, a little surprised.

“I think that much. After all, it was now only an hour before noon. As there will be a rise in temperature, excess heat in the body will cause disturbances to your blood circulation and respiratory system, both of which contribute to migraine, ” Gerald replied with a smile.

Hearing that, the old woman smiled before nodding in agreement to Gerald as she said, “I didn't expect you to know such a thing, Gerald!”

After seeing that, Walbridge—who had been standing next to—just sneered, feeling a little annoyed.

However, Jace turned to look at Gerald in surprise while thinking, '...Could this young man really be proficient in medicine...?'

As Gerald said, Serenity — who had spoken and laughed cheerfully before this — suddenly described a very sad expression on her face around noon. A few seconds after, he began to hold his head with both of his hands, huge drops of sweat rushing down his forehead.

“Please bear with the pain for now, Mrs Smith. I'll do acupuncture therapy on you right now,” Jace said as he reached out his hand to check his pulse. After which, he took out a needle bag from his medical equipment before taking out a few silver needles.

With great precision, he then stuck needles into several acupuncture points on his body, followed by points on his head and shoulders.

Seeing that, Gerald was slightly dumbfounded.

'So that's why he has so much reputation in the military area ... He really is talking! Ha ha!'

As Jace continued to do acupuncture, he asked, "By the way, sir, do you know what type of acupuncture therapy I use?"

“Is there a need to ask him, sir? How could he know?” walbridge said coldly.

“Now, now, Gerald is accurately predicting when the next attack will happen! With that in mind, it shows that Gerald is a pretty insightful man!” brianna replied with a faint smile at Gerald.

“What not to know? It was just Deadly Acupuncture Therapy,” Gerald said as he looked at the doctor with a smile.

Although Jace was a little surprised to hear that Gerald knew the technique, the fact that Gerald used the word 'just' made him feel a little more angry than surprised.

Putting on a haughty expression, Jace then said, “Huh. Not bad. It seems that you are really insightful to a certain degree .. ”

After all, after Jace was done with his therapy, the pain of Serenity seemed to have eased slightly, judging by his expression.

"You're flattering me," Jace replied with a calm smile.

However, just as he said that, Serenity suddenly started shaking. In just a split second, his originally calm expression turned into a roar of pain as he began to hold his head again! She now arguably suffered even more than before Jace's treatment!

Seeing that, everyone in the room became dumbfounded, especially Jace. Looking at his silver needle, he muttered to himself, “This! It can't be!"

After which, he rushed towards Serenity to check his pulse. His face was pale at this moment, the doctor could feel the old woman's pulse beating randomly, even stopping for a few seconds each time before quickly coming back to life. It was very strange, to say the least.

"Please, help her, Dr. Mabb!" the other Smith family members shouted as they anxiously ran towards him as soon as they saw how serious this attack was compared to the latter.

Seeing Serenity's skin turn from pale to purplish green, Gavin's anxiety peaked and he now jumped in anxiety and frustration.

Jace himself is currently in a mess. After all, he really did not know what to do at this moment.

Realizing how serious Serenity was, Gerald ran towards her and immediately pulled the silver needle from her body. After which, he took out six silver needles and thrust them into an acupuncture point located around his neck and shoulders.

Although Gerald had known what illness the old woman had suffered long before, he wanted to see if Jace really deserved all the reputation people gave him. If he was truly able to cure Serenity's illness, then he wouldn't have to intervene and snatch that praise for him. However, now that all this had happened, Gerald had no choice but to make a move.

“...D-Divine Acupuncture Therapy..?” jace said as his jaw gaped.

“Huh. Not bad. It seems like you are really insightful.” said Gerald, using the same sentence that Jace used on him earlier.

After a few more needles pierced into him, Serenity's expression immediately returned to that of a relaxed one. With the migraine now gone, his face slowly returned to its initial redness.

“... Mother…? How you feeling…?" gavin asked, his excitement evident from his worried tone. To think that Gerald had such an ability!

Although Gavin and the others knew very little about medicine, everyone—who had witnessed Gerald and Dr.'s acupuncture skills. Mabb had previously—it's reasonable to say that Gerald's skills far exceeded those of doctors.

“I feel much better now..”
