The Man's Decree

Chapter 7 Giving It All

“What garbage are you spewing? You’re not needed here. Get out!” Josephine barked, as she was worried that Jared would disrupt the treatment.

“Fine. You’re the one that asked me to leave. I’ll be waiting in the corridor. In less than five minutes, you’ll be out there begging me to come back in.”

The moment he finished, Jared opened the door and went out.

After he left, no one bothered about him. Meanwhile, Jonathan carefully continued with William’s acupuncture treatment. Soon, he was entirely drenched in sweat.

After the last needle was inserted, William gradually regain his consciousness and opened his eyes.

“Dad! My dad is awake, Dr. Watson. He’s awake. This is wonderful!” Josephine cried out jubilantly as tears filled her eyes.

Just a moment ago, she was worried that he would never ever do so.

When Jonathan saw William was awake, he, too, heaved a sigh of relief. After all, he barely had any confidence going in.

Unfortunately, the moment Josephine and Jonathan sighed in relief, William began to tremble violently. He looked to be in excruciating pain as his face started turning purple.

“Dad! Dad!” Josephine yelled as she turned to Jonathan in panic. “Dr. Watson, why is this happening?”

At that moment, even Jonathan was feeling so distressed that he was just stumped. “I… I don’t know why this is happening either. How did it turn out this way?”

“Who are you asking? You’re the doctor here!” Josephine roared at the doctor in desperation.

At the same time, William’s shiver began to grow faint before he finally stopped moving. Even his breath could not be felt at all.
