A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 30 Iron Sand Palm

William didn’t head home Instead, he remained at the square to open up the second meridians on his arms because the place was spacious and there wasn’t anyone else.

And it wasn’t until 5.00AM the next day when the sun had just begun to rise that he returned home.

Melisenna had already awoken at this point and was making breakfast.

Meanwhile, William was brushing his teeth when he found Gwendolyn coming out of her room to answer

a call. However, she turned grim very quickly. “Where? Alright, I’m coming over now!”

At that, William’s heart skipped a beat. “What’s wrong?”

“Grandpa’s seriously injured,” the young woman bawled.

“Where is he at?” William asked, to which Gwendolyn said, “At Kreim. My dad’s already on his way.”

“Get your things. We’re going as well,” he said.

“But my dad won’t let me go,” said the young woman while wiping her tears away. “He said to wait until it’s

William narrowed his eyes at that. Looks like things are much crazier than I thought. At that, he reassured her. It’s fine. I’ll go with you. Come on!”

With that, they headed off to Kreim in Gwendolyn’s Audi S5.

“So, what happened? Are you really clueless about it?” he asked.

“Now that you mention it,” Gwendolyn revealed after a moment of pondering. “I think I remember something. We would move from time to time when I was little, and Grandpa changed his name a few times. Even my dad changed his name twice.”

“So, they’ve been running away from someone?” William asked, to which Gwendolyn shook her head in response. I’m not sure. All I remember is that Grandpa would force me to practice martial arts when I was little. I actually didn’t like it in the beginning, but with time, I got used to it.

Then, William fell silent for a moment before turning to the young woman.

Give your dad a call. Find out what injury exactly it is your grandfather’s suffering from. Tell him I can treat it.”

Gwendolyn nodded firmly at that and dialed a number. Instantly, an authoritative–sounding middle–aged man’s voice came from the speaker. “Don’t worry about it, Gwen. I’m already looking after your grandpa.”

“Dad,” the young woman interjected. “How serious is Grandpa’s injury?”

“He was struck down by a palm,” said the middle–aged man. Tm thinking of a way to treat him now.”

“What palm are we talking about?” Gwen asked at once.

“The Iron Sand Palm. The man sighed after a moment’s silence.

William heard the conversation loud and clear, so he gave a prescription right then, then told the man to note it down and get the faedication ready at once.
