Suzanne needed extrahands. Working alone would be difficult it both Willium and Samuel lett as well.
Nate gave a nod at her words and immediately stepped out, closing the door behind him.
Samuri shifted uneasily as his gaze fell on Suzanne. “Is there anything you need us to do?” he asked.
Acupuncture was entirely foreign to them as modern medicine practitioners, and standing beside Suzanne, both he and Willie felt out of place
William, however, couldn’t take his eyes off her. He was grinely curious about how exactly she was going to treat Fabian.
After all, countless doctors had examined him over the years, yet none had succeeded. Even many renowned altemate medicine practitioners had failed Suzanne didn’t hesitate. Her voice was cahn but firmas she instructed, “Help him up.”
Samuel and William exchanged glances. Though they didn’t understand the reasoning behind it, they followed her words without question. “Alright”
Both men took their places on either side of Fabian, carefully lifting him into a sitting position.
Tabuan, weakumed by the excruciating pain he had endured, had no strength left in his body. He slumped against their support, barely able to hold himself up.
Sensing the mowment, Fabian’s elds fluttered open, his gaze hazy as it landed on Suzanne. His voice was hoarse and frail as he asked, “Was it you who saved me? Suzanne couldn’t help but admire the old man before her. Even after suffering such unbearable pain, he still had the awareness to care about what was happening around him. She said gently, reassuring him, “Yes. Just rest. You’ll feel better when you wake up.”
Her words seemed to have a soothing effect. Fabian slowly closed his eyes again and said nothing more.

Suzanne then carefully removed his shirt. His back, all skin and bones, was covered in scars. There were even remnants of bullet shots marking his shoulders. They w signs of a man who had once been on the battlefield
Respect started within her, but she quickly pushed those thoughts aside and pressed her lips into a firm line as she focused. With practiced precision, she placed her fingers along Fabun’s spine, her hands moving so swiftly that it left Samuel and William watching in stunned silence
They couldn’t help but wonder if she was really in her 20s. Her mastery of acupuncture was something ven seasoned practitioners struggled to achieve. What they were seeing today left then amared
Half an hour later, Suzane removed the final needle and exhaled slowly before looking at the two men
“Lay him down,” she said.
By then, Fabian was in a deep slumber. The dark circles beneath his eyes made it clear that he hadn’t had a proper rest in a very long time.
Suzie checked the monor and noticed that his vital signs had stabilized. Finally, it was done.

Their pupils dated in disbelief at the revelation, the parabraming with admiration. The reputation of the miracle doctor, Jane Smith, had been spreading rapidly. She had named praise irors experts across the field.
Initially, they had thought it was nothing more than hype
essing her skills firsthand, they now reallard every word about her was real and that she truly deserved the title.
Samuel’s excitement was uncontrollable as he turned to William with a grin, “I can’t believed the honor of working with Dr. Smith!
This was a story he would be bragging about for the next ten years.
Realizing he had spoken too loudly, he quickly clamped his mouth shut. He glanced pervously at Fabian and only relaxed when he saw that the old man was still sound asleep. But despere las silence, his fate was still it with joy
Willan was no better. He grigged Samuel’s a lightly, struggling to contain his emotions. If it weren’t for the patient in the coon, he might have shouted in excitement. Suzanne, on the other hand, paid themont further attention
