The Man’s Decree Novel Chapter 7“What garbage are you spewing? You’re not needed here. Get out!” Josephine barked, as she was
worried that Kai would disrupt the treatment.
“Fine. You’re the one that asked me to leave. I’ll be waiting in the corridor. In less than five minutes,
you’ll be out there begging me to come back in.”
The moment he finished, Kai opened the door and went out.
After he left, no one bothered about him. Meanwhile, Jonathan carefully continued with William’s
acupuncture treatment. Soon, he was entirely drenched in sweat.
After the last needle was inserted, William gradually regain his consciousness and opened his eyes.
“Dad! My dad is awake, Dr. Watson. He’s awake. This is wonderful!” Josephine cried out jubilantly as
tears filled her eyes.
Just a moment ago, she was worried that he would never ever do so.
When Jonathan saw William was awake, he, too, heaved a sigh of relief. After all, he barely had any
confidence going in.
Unfortunately, the moment Josephine and Jonathan sighed in relief, William began to tremble violently.
He looked to be in excruciating pain as his face started turning purple.
“Dad! Dad!” Josephine yelled as she turned to Jonathan in panic. “Dr. Watson, why is this happening?”
At that moment, even Jonathan was feeling so distressed that he was just stumped. “I… I don’t know
why this is happening either. How did it turn out this way?”
“Who are you asking? You’re the doctor here!” Josephine roared at the doctor in desperation.At the same time, William’s shiver began to grow faint before he finally stopped moving. Even his
breath could not be felt at all.
Watching the change in William, Jonathan felt his panic intensify. If anything happened to William, he
would have to suffer the consequences.
“Dad, don’t scare me… Don’t scare me…”
Josephine began to cry.
“Ms. Sullivan, let’s take Mr. Sullivan to the hospital. I have run out of ideas!” Jonathan suggested
anxiously.
He wanted to send William there so that he could shirk his responsibility. If William died in the hospital,
it would then not be his fault.
“Do you take me for a fool? Given my dad’s condition, there’s no way he can make it to the hospital!
You better save him! If not, don’t think you will survive this unscathed!” Josephine exploded, having lost
her rational mind.
The Sullivans were the wealthiest family in Horington. To destroy a lowly doctor would take no more
than a flick of their fingers.
Jonathan was stricken with terror by her threat. Nonetheless, he was devoid of any ideas. Suddenly, he
thought of Kai and quickly suggested, “Ms. Sullivan, the guy that just went out. Perhaps he might have
a solution. I think he probably knows a thing or two.”
Jonathan’s words reminded Josephine of Kai. Still, it was not lost upon her that Jonathan had looked
down upon him earlier, but was praising him now. Evidently, Jonathan was planning to let Kai take the
blame.Once Kai stepped in to treat William, even if he was dead, Jonathan would be able to absolve himself
of any responsibility.
After a momentary hesitation, Josephine let go of William, who slumped in his chair as she dashed out
of the room.
At that very moment, Kai was sitting along the corridor, expecting Josephine to come and see him.
When the woman saw Kai was still there, she rushed up to him. Just when she wanted to speak, she
suddenly realized that she had no idea how to address him.
“P-Please save my father, I beg of you,” Josephine pleaded with an awkward expression.
When Kai gradually raised his head at her, Josephine averted her gaze, as she didn’t dare make eye
contact. Not too long ago, she was berating him, but now, she ended up begging him instead.
“Do you believe I can save your father and that I’m not a con man?” Kai asked.
Josephine kept silent, as she didn’t know how to answer. She didn’t fully trust him yet, but she had no
other choice.
Looking at her reaction, Kai simply chuckled. He decided not to make things difficult for her as he got
up and returned to the room.
When Josephine followed Kai back in, she saw Jonathan pacing back and forth with his head covered
in sweat.
The moment Jonathan saw Kai, he felt as if he had seen his savior. Regardless of whether Kai could
revive William, he could push the blame to Kai once the latter took over.
Lowering himself, Jonathan begged, “I’m sorry about just now, young man. Please save Mr. Sullivan!”Considering that he could potentially lose everything, Jonathan felt that being polite would not hurt at
all.
After shooting William a glance, Kai sighed. “Looks like I’ll have to give it my all.”
Turning toward Jonathan, Kai questioned, “Do you still have any silver needles?”
“Yes, in the medical bag.”
Jonathan quickly handed over a bag of silver needles to Kai.
“It’s not enough!” Kai shook his head.
“Not enough?” Jonathan was stunned. “The bag contains thirty needles. How can it not be enough?”
In acupuncture, anyone who could insert more than ten needles was considered impressive. Even the
president of the Association of Traditional Medicine, John Jacobson, who was also known as a miracle
doctor, could only insert around twenty needles. As a result, thirty needles were more than enough.
“It just isn’t. I need more!” Kai replied.
“How many more?” Jonathan carefully asked.
“Eighty-one!”
Jonathan was stupefied by the reply.
Suddenly, his eyes were filled with horror. However, instead of saying anything, he handed over all his
silver needles.After receiving them, Kai laid William’s body flat on the ground. Moving ambidextrously, he swiftly
inserted the needles into William’s body.
At this moment, cold sweat began to break out on Kai’s forehead. He looked as if he was exerting a lot
of energy to the extent his clothes were all drenched.
novelbinWhen the final needle was inserted into William, Kai let out a long sigh. As if he was entirely drained,
he dropped his butt onto the ground to sit.
During the entire time, Josephine watched on nervously. She didn’t know much about acupuncture, and
she felt the urge to ask. However, she was worried about disrupting Kai.
As for Jonathan, he was already gawking in astonishment from the get-go. His mouth opened so wide
that one could fit an egg into it.
A short while later, Jonathan’s shock had turned into elation. With a loud thud, he dropped his knees to
the ground in front of Kai.His sudden movement gave both Kai and Josephine a fright.
