The nurse hurried off to prepare the supplies.
Lillian turned to the old man. “Mr. Geo, you should get some rest. What’s about to happen will be bloody-I don’t want you to strain yourself p>
Geo waved her off. “Don’t mind me. Today I intend to see exactly what tricks Radovia’s bastards are playing p>
Seeing his resolve, Lillian didn’t press further. Fawks dragged over a chair and set it beside him. “Sir, sit here and watch p>
Geo nodded and sat without hesitation.
The nurse returned with the requested items.
Lillian glanced at Jorge. “In a moment, hold down his limbs. Don’t let him thrash p>
Jorge nodded solemnly. Morris motioned for several others to help, in case things spiraled out of control.
The ward fell into silence; all eyes fixed on Lillian.
She signaled the nurse to hang fresh blood bags, then slipped a silver needle from her jade bracelet. Her slender fingers gripped it with precision; nine needles sank into major acupoints in one fluid motion, spiritual energy coursing steadily through them.
Moments later, the patient’s body began to tremble-first lightly, then violently. Jorge and the other staff pressed him down at once.
Lillian snatched up a scalpel and swiftly severed the arteries in his limbs.
Blood spurted in a rush. The veins bulged grotesquely; something squirmed beneath the skin, writhing toward the incisions. One by one, they spilled out-bloody, worm-like creatures that writhed for a few seconds before going still as they hit the buckets of ice.
Even the most seasoned among them felt their stomachs turn at the sight.
Half an hour later, after confirming every last parasite and egg had been expelled, Lillian pulled out a vial from her pack. She sprinkled the powder over the wounds. Before their eyes, the bleeding stopped, scabs formed, and the flesh began knitting back together. Only then did she withdraw her needles.
She took the patient’s pulse; the rhythm was steady. At last, she said to Jorge, “It’s done. The parasites are gone. With rest, he’ll be back on his feet in no time p>

Finished
From her bag she handed him another bottle. “When he wakes, give him one pill a day. It’ll speed the recovery p>
Only then did the room stir again.
Geo looked stunned. Though he had received treatment from Lillian himself, this was his first time witnessing her skill in action. It was nothing short of miraculous.
The others were just as shaken.
Fawks, especially, hadn’t expected her to surpass even Jorge. The famed doctor had been at a loss, yet Lillian had resolved the case with deft precision. Her depth was impossible to gauge.
Jorge and Morris ran quick checks on the patient. To their astonishment, his vitals were steadily returning to normal.
The other patients showed similar symptoms; Lillian treated each one. By the time she finished, night had fallen, and her spiritual energy was nearly spent.
Jorge regarded her with rare admiration. “Lillian, in all my years of medicine, I’ve never truly admired anyone. But today, you’ve earned my respect p>
Forty years in the field, and he had always considered himself unmatched-until now.
Lillian offered a modest smile. “You flatter me, Dr. Jorge. There’s still much I need to learn from you. Medicine is vast and profound. Without the ancient texts I’ve studied, I wouldn’t have today’s skills p>
They exchanged a few more words before Lillian excused herself.
Mr. Geo had invited her to stay at the estate, but she declined; it wouldn’t have been
convenient.
Back at her hotel, she slipped into her space and plunged into the purifying spring. Spiritual energy surged into her limbs, coursing through her body until her exhaustion ebbed away.
That night, at the Imperial Hotel’s exclusive private club…
The grand hall glittered with opulence; crystal chandeliers floated overhead, scattering prismatic light. Music drifted through the air, rich and elegant, casting the space in an intoxicating mood.
Inside a private suite, Noreen lounged on a sofa in a custom blush-pink dress, a crystal glass in hand, eyes drifting toward the door as if lost in thought.
Cameron played dice with a beauty at his side.

Manny and Elaine were absorbed in a game of billiards.
Then the suite doors opened.
A man strode in wearing a bespoke vintage suit. His steps were steady, unhurried; his face was strikingly handsome, almost untouchable. Power radiated from him in quiet waves, every movement carrying innate nobility.
