The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 297 The Final Moment

After the last needle was in place, Daniel asked Oliver, "How do you feel? Can you try standing up and walking a few steps?"

"How would he feel? His leg's probably been numbed by your needle! Walking? Be thankful if he hasn't been paralyzed! He could still walk with a cane before this. Now, thanks to your needling, he probably can't even walk with a cane and will be stuck in a wheelchair," Emily sneered again.

She couldn't believe this country kid could cure Oliver's leg—wounded in battle and untreatable for decades—with just a few needle pricks. Was this some kind of joke? When even the city's big hospitals couldn't cure Oliver's leg, how could a country boy do it?

Ignoring the woman, Daniel turned back to Oliver, "Try standing up, see if you can take a couple of steps?"

"Can I really stand up?" Oliver sounded incredulous; after all, he couldn't feel his feet at this moment. But it seemed that the persistent dull pain in his leg had vanished after Daniel's treatment.

"Give it a shot! I'm confident you can stand," Daniel encouraged.

With some effort, Oliver tried to stand up from the couch— and he did! His legs no longer felt weak, and he was free from pain. Everyone was shocked.

For decades, Oliver needed a cane to stand, yet now he was standing without one? Brittany immediately lit up with excitement, "Grandpa, did you really just get up? Did the country boy actually heal your leg?"

"Healed? You must be joking! Heh!" Emily sarcastically laughed. "You call this recovery? I'd say it's his final moment!"
