Chapter 102 – Zach’s Departure
*****‘Just as I thought…’ Silas mused inwardly, his gaze lingering for the briefest moment on Patricia’s face. ‘She still loves him.’The realization settled quietly in his chest, but he didn’t voice it.Instead, his eyes drifted toward Jacob, who lay there in an unnaturally calm, almost fragile stillness… his breathing steady and expression devoid of pain for the first time since this ordeal began.For a fleeting second, Zach studied him, as though confirming something only he could see, then finally, he turned back to Patricia.“Your husband is one of the strongest people I know,” he said, his voice quiet, yet at the same time, heavy.Silence immediately fell, stretching thick and suffocating.Anita and Patricia both froze in place, their thoughts stalling as they tried to process his words.For a moment, neither of them could respond or even think, then…“So…” Anita finally began, her voice trembling.But before she could continue…“The acupuncture I just gave him is en
Chapter 101 – She Still Loves Him
*****Everyone fixed their gaze on Zach, watching him with suffocating intensity, as though even the smallest flicker across his face might reveal something about what he had seen earlier.But there was nothing. Not a twitch, a shift, or even the faintest ripple of emotion.‘Did I imagine it?’ The same uneasy thought crept through their minds, unspoken yet shared.Zach, however, offered them no room to dwell on it. The instant his eyes opened, he moved.His hand descended, and then another… needles flashing in quick succession as he began inserting them into the old man’s body.To the untrained eye, the pattern seemed chaotic and almost reckless, as though he were striking at random points without any clear method.At first, each needle drew a collective flinch from those watching. Shoulders tensed, breaths caught, and eyes tightened with every precise yet unsettling motion.But as the seconds stretched on, that instinctive fear slowly gave way to confusion.‘Is this still… a
Chapter 100 – The Treatment’s Commencement
*****Even Zach couldn’t help but falter for a split second, having clearly expected the old man to back down.As for Anita and Patricia…Patricia stared at her husband blankly, her expression lingering in disbelief before a heavy wave of weakness and exhaustion washed over her.Her shoulders sagged, and her head dropped slightly, as if even summoning her usual biting remarks required more strength than she had left.Anita, however, was the complete opposite.The moment she fully processed her father’s response, her composure shattered. Her eyes flooded with tears, and she exploded.“Come on, Father, are you this tired of living?!” she roared, her voice cracking as reason abandoned her entirely. “Why are you so selfish? Do you even think about Mother and me at all?!”Her tears spilled freely, streaming down her face like twin rivers. “Why?!” She screamed desperately, the word tearing out of her throat.A sharp flicker of pain surfaced in Jacob’s eyes.His body trembled faint
Chapter 099 – Anita’s explosion
*****Inside the cloth pouch lay roughly a hundred sharp, finely arranged needles, each seemingly crafted from a rare type of Materia and varying in both size and shape.Some were as fine as a strand of hair, while others were as thick as an adult’s pinky finger. A few were so short they were nearly invisible at a glance, while others stretched close to ten inches… about the length of a toddler’s hand.And this… was the source of Jacob, Anita, and even Patricia’s shock at this moment.For a heartbeat that dragged into eternity, all three could do nothing but stare, their gazes locked onto the needles, their skin prickling as though every hair on their bodies had risen in alarm.Then finally…“This…”Jacob swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple jerking visibly before he raised a trembling finger toward the pouch.“Young… Master,” he stammered, his voice unsteady, the fear he tried to suppress leaking through. “What… what do you plan to do with those?”Every gaze snapped toward Zach.
Chapter 098 – Anita’s Resistance
***** Patricia burst into laughter so abruptly that it shattered whatever fragile tension remained in the room. Her shoulders shook, her head tilting back slightly as though she had just been handed the most ridiculous joke in existence. “You… you are not even a certified medical practitioner, yet you want to treat someone?” she managed between breaths, her voice dripping with mockery and disbelief, each word sharper than the last. Opposite her, Anita didn’t laugh, instead; “Hmph!” She snorted coldly, the sound sharp and cutting, her entire body trembling faintly with restrained fury. Where Patricia found amusement, Anita found deep, burning, and uncontrollable offense. “Since you are not certified, how exactly do you plan on treating my father?” she demanded, her voice sharp as her eyes locked onto Zach with fierce intensity. There was something almost volatile in her gaze, a mix of desperation, anger, and disbelief that bordered on hostility And yet…
