Natalie arrived at the hospital with the team, her face filled with excitement.

In addition to the doctors participating in the event, many reporters also arrived. Soon, a continuous stream of vehicles occupied the hospital parking lot.

Josie and the others were unaware of the situation. They escorted Lonnard all the way to the emergency room.

While Lonnard was receiving emergency care, Delilah walked over to Josie and said, “You performed well today, and fortunately, you brought the silver needle.”

Fortunately, Delilah didn’t dwell on it, and Josie heaved a sigh of relief.

However, Delilah looked over and asked, “Why do you bring a needle with you?”

“Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Moreover, this will be my tool for treating and saving lives in the future. I must bring it with me at all times,” Josie replied. Her response was perfectly appropriate.

Delilah was satisfied with her reply. She assumed Josie had truly developed a passion for acupuncture.

Delilah reached out and patted Josie on the shoulder. “Even as your teacher, I am no match for you!” she said.

Josie felt uneasy when she heard this. Fortunately, the matter concerning Lonnard was of utmost importance at this point, and Delilah did not ask further questions.

By the time Lonnard was brought out of the emergency room and transferred to the ward, two hours had already passed.

A family member of Lonnard came over and said, “The CT scan report is out. If Ms. Wilcourt doesn’t mind, could you please review it?”

“Certainly,” Delilah agreed. When she entered, the emergency care doctor was also present.

“Based on the condition of the thrombus, the incident just now was indeed dangerous. After the patient lost consciousness, the prompt actions of laying the patient flat and turning the head to the side prevented further deterioration of the thrombus.

“Moreover, imaging data indicate that the thrombus exhibited further movement. It was precisely this development that prevented Mr. Longley from experiencing a cerebral infarction and allowed us additional time for emergency intervention,” the doctor said.

The doctor’s surname was Markey, and his name was Jannik Markey.

Jannik looked at Delilah and said, “Ms. Wilcourt, I’m not familiar with acupuncture, but I do know that acupuncture has the function of unblocking meridians and promoting blood circulation.

“However, based on previous clinical observations, these effects are not particularly evident.”

It was precisely because acupuncture took effect slowly that it had gradually been overlooked and phased out.

He adjusted his glasses and asked, “How did you manage to promote the movement of the thrombus using acupuncture? Isn’t it magical?”

“It’s not as magical as you think,” Delilah waved her hand and said, not taking his words seriously. To her, it was just an ordinary needling technique.

“When a cerebral infarction occurs…” She explained the principles of acupuncture in clinical medicine using professional medical terminology. After she finished speaking, both Jannik and the family member of Lonnard fell silent.

“Who says acupuncture is of little value? In my opinion, it can play a significant role in critical situations. If it integrates with surgical treatments, it may garner unexpected results,” Jannik said, somewhat excited.

“Dr. Wilcourt, would you be interested in delivering two lectures at our hospital for the promotion of acupuncture studies? If the opportunity arises, I would also like to discuss potential collaboration with you,” Jannik said.

Xandrov was helpless. “Dr. Markey, my father is still lying in the ward. Would it not be more appropriate to discuss the treatment plan first, rather than rushing to talk about collaboration with Ms. Wilcourt?” he asked.

“Oh, yes,” Jannik responded, patting his head.

“The situation now is that although Mr. Longley has regained consciousness, he has not exhibited symptoms such as numbness or abnormality in his limbs.

“However, the location of his thrombus is extremely dangerous. Of course, the optimal approach would be surgical intervention, but considering Mr. Longley’s age and overall health condition, I would like to consult Ms. Wilcourt…

“Since your acupuncture technique can instantly alter the position and concentration of a thrombus, is it possible to achieve a complete cure?”

Delilah pressed her forehead and said, “It’s not impossible, but the risk is simply too high. I’m afraid that before I can cure Mr. Longley, you guys have already pinned the blame on me!”

“It’s not that serious!” Xandrov said, waving his hand dismissively. “I previously had the privilege of several exchanges with Leo, so I have some preliminary understanding of acupuncture…”

By the time Delilah left the doctor’s office, another half hour had passed.
