Ella approached Lillian with a gentle demeanor, her voice soft yet filled with concern. “Lillian, are you absolutely certain you can go through with this p>
The air was thick with tension, but Lillian maintained her composure, her expression serene. “There’s no alternative left for us now. We’ve already lost enough precious time p>
Ella nodded in understanding, determination filling her heart. “Then let’s not squander any more of it.” Though their acquaintance was still fresh, Ella felt an undeniable fondness for the girl—there was something refreshingly authentic about her, a blend of humility and grace that drew Ella in.
Lillian locked eyes with Ella and offered a smile that radiated reassurance. “Don’t worry, I’ll give it my all.” With that declaration, she turned her focus to the elderly man lying before her, ready to take the plunge into the unknown.
The man in black, standing nearby, dared not intervene. After all, this was Mr. Arron’s life hanging in the balance—if anything went awry, the repercussions would be dire.
Kneeling beside the old man, Lillian delicately placed her fingers on his pulse, her touch light yet assured.
The man in black watched her every move, his fists clenched so tightly that the knuckles turned a ghostly white, betraying the anxiety that churned within him.
After a moment of checking the pulse, Lillian drew a silver needle from her jade bracelet. Instantly, a cold gleam flickered in the air, and it felt as if the temperature around them had dipped. The onlookers collectively gasped, their breaths caught in their throats.
They had witnessed silver needles before, yet the one in Lillian’s hand was anything but ordinary.
With poised precision, she inserted the needle into the old man’s body. Each movement was fluid and deliberate, and the crowd held their breath, their eyes glued to her hands as if they were enchanted.
“Do you comprehend what she’s doing? It’s astonishing!” one bystander whispered, a hint of awe in their voice.
“Not entirely, but look at Mr. Arron—his complexion is improving!” another replied, their eyes widening in disbelief. “I never anticipated this girl’s medical expertise to be so extraordinary p>
Unbeknownst to Lillian, her seemingly simple intervention would soon spread like wildfire, catapulting her into the spotlight of high society, where whispers of her miraculous skills would echo far and wide.
Not too far away, Mia glared at the composed girl, her heart boiling with resentment. If it hadn’t been for Lillian’s unexpected interference, Mia’s meticulously crafted plan would have unfolded flawlessly.
Her original intent had been to completely tarnish Olivia’s reputation among the elite, but thanks to this insufferable girl, everything had unraveled before her eyes.
Ethan stood off to the side, captivated by Lillian’s focus, his admiration blazing like a fire within him. He had never encountered anyone quite like her. Just how many hidden talents did she possess?
As the seconds ticked by, the atmosphere grew heavier with anticipation. Gradually, the old man’s complexion began to normalize, his breathing steadied, and signs of recovery emerged.
With a gentle sweep of her palm, Lillian retrieved the silver needles—like obedient soldiers, they returned to her hand with ease, as if they had a mind of their own.
The man in black stepped forward, urgency lacing his tone. “How is he p>
Ella and the elder beside her leaned in, their expressions taut with concern. “Is Mr. Arron going to be okay p>
Lillian stood up, a bright smile illuminating her face. “He’s alright now. Thankfully, I didn’t let anyone down p>
A wave of relief washed over Ella, and she grasped Lillian’s hands tightly, gratitude evident in her eyes. “We owe you so much. If anything had happened to Mr. Arron, none of us would have been able to bear that weight p>
Just as she finished speaking, the old man on the ground slowly opened his eyes, the world coming back into focus for him.
A collective gasp of excitement erupted from the crowd. “Mr. Arron is awake p>
The man in black quickly assisted him, guiding him to a nearby resting area where he could regain his strength.
After a moment of silence, the old man scanned the surroundings and, in a feeble voice, asked, “What happened to me p>
The elder standing beside Ella chuckled warmly, “Old man, you’ve been neglecting your health! You nearly frightened us all to death! If it weren’t for this remarkable young lady, you might not have made it through today p>
The man in black then recounted the entire incident to Mr. Arron, detailing Lillian’s brave intervention.
As the old man listened intently, his gaze shifted to Lillian. Confusion flickered across his features at first, but it quickly morphed into awe.
This young girl… her medical skills were truly extraordinary? And she had remained so calm amidst the chaos?
Supported by his bodyguard, Mr. Arron slowly approached Lillian, a newfound respect shining in his eyes.
“Kiddo, thank you for saving my life,” he said, his voice filled with sincerity.
“You’re too kind, Mr. Arron. It was an emergency—I just hope you don’t mind that I took the initiative,” Lillian replied, her smile warm and genuine.
Mr. Arron studied her carefully—she was composed, humble, and undeniably polite. Admiration glimmered in his eyes.
“If it weren’t for your ‘taking the initiative,’ I might not be breathing right now,” he said, laughter bubbling forth from his chest, his voice now stronger than before.
Lillian maintained her poise but couldn’t resist adding playfully, “As long as you’re not holding me accountable, that’s all that truly matters p>
“Haha! You little rascal!” Mr. Arron exclaimed, pointing at her with a hearty laugh, the sound ringing through the air, vibrant and filled with newfound life.
