At that moment, silence took over the entire emergency room.No one spoke, no one moved either.The nurses stood frozen, their eyes wide, their mouths slightly open. Some of them looked at Liam, then at Mr. Alexander, then back again, as if their minds could not keep up with what they had just heard.My patient, those two words echoed in their heads.The same person Dr. William had insulted… the same person he ordered to be thrown out…Was Mr. Alexander’s patient.How was that even possible? The mistake… it was too big.Too heavy.And deep down, they all knew one thing—This was not something that could be brushed aside.At that moment, Dr. William’s legs gave way.He dropped, Straight to his knees.The sound was dull, but it carried weight.“I’m… I’m very sorry,” he said quickly, his voice shaking, almost breaking. “I’m sorry… I didn’t know… I didn’t know they were your patients…”His hands trembled as he tried to steady himself.“Please… forgive me…”Tears began to form in his eyes.B

The atmosphere shattered what had once been a tense silence now twisted into something far worse—fear, Raw suffocating fear.Dr. William stood frozen where he was, but inside him, everything had already begun to collapse. The confidence, the arrogance, the authority he once wore so proudly it was all gone, stripped away in an instant.Because now… he understood, the longer this situation dragged on, the deeper the pit he was falling into.And there was no climbing out, his lips trembled. His hands shook. Even his legs felt weak beneath him. The same man who had stood tall just moments ago now looked like a shadow of himself.Then suddenly—“I… I’m very sorry!”His voice cracked as the words forced their way out. Tears streamed down his face without restraint.“I’m very, very sorry!” he repeated, his breathing uneven. “I’m willing to make amends for what I did… I’m willing to correct it. I’ll make sure… I’ll make sure it never happens again!”No one interrupted him, no one comforted him

The room held its breath.Every eye was fixed on Dr. Alex’s hands as they moved with delicate precision, adjusting the fine needles embedded across the girl’s body. The faint hum of machines and that lingering, dreadful tone in the background made the atmosphere feel suffocating.Then—“Are you telling me… there’s still a chance?”Mr. Alexander’s voice broke through the tension, filled with cautious hope. His eyes were locked onto Dr. Alice, searching almost begging for reassurance.Dr. Alex didn’t look up immediately. His fingers steadied another needle before he finally nodded.“Yes,” he said calmly. “There is still a chance.”A pause.“But the chances are slim.”The words hung heavily in the air.“I can’t guarantee anything,” he continued, his tone steady but honest. “I can’t promise you a miracle… but if I have to put a number to it—”He inhaled softly.“I’d say about twenty percent.”Mr. Alexander’s heart skipped.Twenty percent, It wasn’t much, but it wasn’t zero.And right now t

The air inside the emergency room felt charged, not merely tense but charged in a way that made it seem as though something unseen had taken complete control of the moment.Mr. Alexander's confusion finally broke through the silence as he turned sharply to Dr. Alex, his brows furrowed and his voice low but urgent. "What do you mean by reverse acupuncture technique?"Dr. Alex didn't answer immediately, because he couldn't. His eyes were still locked on Liam's hand, watching every subtle movement, every shift of his fingers, and every invisible pattern being drawn in the air. Then slowly, his lips parted. "This," he said, his voice coming out almost like a whisper filled with disbelief, "is one of the rarest forms of acupuncture known." He swallowed hard, his throat dry, before continuing in a slightly trembling voice. "The acupuncture we practice, the one our family has passed down and the one this entire country knows, is called the direct acupuncture technique." He pointed faintly to

Immediately, Liam stepped out of the emergency VIP room. The automatic doors slid open quietly, but the moment he appeared in the hallway, it felt as though the entire corridor held its breath. The tension that had built up inside didn't disappear — it followed him out.Behind him, without hesitation, Dr. Alex and Mr. Alexander came out as well, and the moment they stepped into the open corridor, they bowed. Not slightly, not casually, but deeply and respectfully, as though they were standing before someone far above their level.A few nurses nearby froze in shock, and some almost dropped what they were holding. These were people they respected, people they answered to, and yet they were bowing to Liam. They didn't dare question it. They simply watched.At that same moment, the old lady who had been anxiously pacing not too far away suddenly noticed the movement. The moment her eyes landed on Liam, she didn't think twice. She ran. Her steps were quick and uneven, almost stumbling, but
