Chapter 6 Please, Mr Bennett
His words were sharp and uncompromising.
One sentence drew everyone's attention.
Leah's breathing quickened.
Isaac snorted coldly. "Young man, where did you come from? Do you have no upbringing?"
As he spoke, he laid Matthew flat. "You came to deceive the Kings? Didn't expect to encounter someone like me, who sees through it all, did you?
"Using violence to treat illness? When you came up with this pathetic trick, did you ever bother to study a few legitimate medical texts? Is that even a legitimate method?
"You're useless!"
Isaac's contempt for Ethan had reached its peak.
However, as soon as he uttered those words, unnoticed by anyone, the eyes of Matthew, still somewhat dull on the hospital bed, suddenly twitched fiercely.
Meanwhile, Leah had already gathered a group around Ethan.
"If Dr. Lowe hadn't intervened just in time to save my father, you would have been responsible for his death. I won't forgive you for this," Leah declared firmly.
Ethan furrowed his brow. "Miss King, although I need your help for the sake of my seniors, please don't go too far.
"I was genuinely trying to save your father. I explained the reasoning earlier."
Ethan fell silent. Are we destined to clash?
Penny narrowed her eyes, feeling a strange sensation at the moment.
Leah's eyes narrowed with intense hostility.
"You're full of lies. I'll never believe a single word you say again. Guards!"
The Kings' servants rushed into the room, ready to confront Ethan. Claudia even ordered them to take him down.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Matthew shouted, startling everyone. They turned quickly to see Matthew struggling to sit up.
His gaze fixed fiercely on Ethan.
"Everyone, get out. He stays."
"What?"
Everyone was taken aback.
"Dad, he's a dangerous person. Are you confused?" Leah grew anxious.
"I told you to leave, can't you hear me? I'm still alive!" Matthew shouted angrily.
Then, he suddenly started coughing up blood, shocking his family.
Seeing this, Penny quickly grabbed Leah and Claudia.
"Let's get out of here."
If they didn't leave soon, the stress might just kill him.
Leah was worried. "Dad, we can go outside, but Dr. Lowe and Mr. Ferguson should stay here to look after you. Please, I'm begging you!"
She felt more at ease with a doctor around.
Matthew's heart softened, nodding in agreement.
With that settled, Leah led the others out.
As she passed by Ethan, she squeezed a threat through her teeth.
"You b*stard, if you dare harm my dad, I'll take you down with me even if it costs my life!"
Upon hearing this, Ethan could only smile bitterly.
Heavens, am I already seen this way by Leah?
If what his master said was true, he had to have sex with the person with pure form and reach extreme pleasure under voluntary cooperation to cure his Nine Suns Poison.
Now, who could teach me how to make her reach extreme pleasure?
D*mn it!
Ethan suddenly felt like cursing out loud. Why am I so unlucky?
Bang!
The door slammed shut, leaving Ethan, George, and Isaac alone.
No one knew what Matthew was up to.
"Young man, what's your name and date of birth?" Matthew suddenly asked with a smile, just when Ethan was feeling utterly frustrated.
"Hmm?" Ethan instinctively responded.
"Ethan Bennett. Born January 1st, 1997, at exactly 01:01:01."
George and Isaac's faces twitched.
Could the birth time be any more precise?
"January 1st, 1997, 01:01:01."
Matthew was overjoyed. "Exactly as predicted!"
Back then, a sage had told him that on his deathbed, a formidable figure with bold methods would save his life.
If he could keep this person around, not only could the Kings survive the calamities of that year, but they could also prosper greatly!
"Ethan, thank you so much for saving me!" Matthew was deeply grateful.
However, Isaac and George were not pleased.
George asked, "Wait, Matthew, what exactly do you mean?
"Your life was saved by Dr. Lowe's relentless efforts. That young lad just now was the one who attacked you. Don't confuse the situation!"
George was visibly displeased, and Dr. Lowe regarded him with cold eyes, clearly angered.
"Well, you both have certainly worked hard, and I appreciate your efforts. But the one who truly saved me is Ethan," Matthew insisted.
"I know my own body very well. At the critical moment, it felt like I couldn't catch my breath, as if burdened by many constraints. It was only when these were forcefully broken that I came back to life."
"You've lost your mind, Matthew!" Isaac scoffed. "He's just a good-for-nothing. He knows nothing! Only I can ensure your health!
"My Nine Divine Needles is unmatched!"
Before Matthew could say more, his eyes suddenly widened. "Pfft!"
He spat out another mouthful of blood and collapsed stiffly to the ground.
Isaac and George were terrified and hurried forward.
George, hearing the loud noise from the equipment, quickly asked, "What's happening? How did this happen?"
Isaac's face turned pale. "This isn't right, what's going on? It shouldn't be like this!"
"This is a consequence. I told you, you weren't supposed to change the revival position yet, but you just had to go and change his position," Ethan said casually.
"Nonsense!" Isaac refused to believe it.
"Nonsense?" Ethan sneered coldly. "Without effective treatment soon, he'll start convulsing and bleeding from every orifice!"
"How soon is 'soon'?" George asked instinctively.
Ethan looked up at the time.
"Three!
"Two!
"One!"
Splurt!
As soon as Ethan finished counting, Matthew sprayed blood and began convulsing wildly, blood flowing from all seven orifices.
Isaac and George looked at Ethan in shock.
Is he really that amazing?
"Why are you looking at me? Aren't you a genius doctor? Didn't you promise to keep him healthy? Aren't you invincible?"
Ethan looked at them and said, "Why don't you treat him?"
Isaac was on the verge of tears. How could he treat him? He was already near death, and he had already used his most powerful Nine Divine Needles.
Besides, if they still didn't realise that Ethan had real skills, they must be brainless. Everything he said matched the symptoms.
Revival position!
Yeah, that kid's revival position!
Isaac suddenly recalled Ethan's words and quickly mimicked the posture Ethan had demonstrated earlier.
"You catch on fast, but resting in a revival position won't help him now."
Ethan smirked slightly. "Just a heads-up, if he doesn't get proper treatment soon, in twenty seconds, all his organs will fail."
Upon hearing that, Isaac was thrown into a panic. If all the organs failed, even the most skilled doctor would struggle to save him.
"Dr. Lowe ... " George was in a hurry, realising they were now responsible for possibly causing someone's death.
Isaac glanced at George. He and Matthew were classmates. If the worst happened, and he had to inform the Kings, his reputation would be ruined.
Isaac finally yielded. He hurriedly said to Ethan, "Kid, no, sir, please do something now. Time's running out."
But Ethan remained still, arms crossed.
"Mr. Bennett, please save him," George said, sweating as he checked his watch.
But Ethan remained unmoved.
Isaac, feeling responsible as the main culprit, saw time slipping away and made a firm decision.
Snap!
He bowed deeply. "Mr. Bennett, I apologise for my earlier brashness. Please, I'm asking you to save him."
Ethan gave him a calm look, then took the silver needle from his hand. "Will you refrain from interfering and promise to control yourself in the future?"
Isaac's face turned red. At over sixty years old, being scolded by a twenty-something guy.
"Yes, I will!"
Ethan coldly snorted, his eyes sharp and intense.
Swish swish swish!
Nine silver needles fell, and all the humiliation Isaac had felt melted away. His expression shifted from shock to awe.
Thud!
Isaac collapsed directly.
"Nine, Nine ... "
Bang bang bang! Just then, an urgent knocking came from outside.
"Dr. Lowe, what's going on?"
