Chapter 438 Natalie To The Rescue
After she got inside, Natalie approached Scarlett without any delay and placed her finger on Scarlett’s wrist.
Her pulse is haywire. It’s far worse than I have imagined. It’s no wonder the doctor did not go through with the operation. It’s far too risky. Even the tiniest mistake could kill Scarlett on the spot, so the best move is to do nothing. That way, she could at least keep her life. However, how is she any better than dead?
Natalie was deep in thought for quite a long time, trying to figure out the optimal way to get rid of the blood clots in Scarlett’s brain using acupuncture.
After that, she untied the pouch on her thigh and took out a row of crystal needles from it.
Then, she slowly unraveled the bandage on Scarlett’s head before finally getting to work.
The crystal needles were made out of an unusual material, so they glowed of ominous blue, even under direct sunlight.
At that moment, Natalie composed herself and started sticking the needles into the top of Scarlett’s head. She used a total of forty-nine needles on different pressure points, all varying in depth.
What Natalie did may look easy, but it actually required an intense level of control and concentration to pull off.
When Natalie was done, her hospital gown was drenched in sweat and stuck onto her back.
In the end, Natalie was not sure how much of the blood clot got dispersed and how well Scarlett could recover. That said, even though Natalie did not like Scarlett, she did what she had to do and was proud of it.
Natalie unknowingly let out a sigh of relief after that.
Right then, the door suddenly opened.
Zayden came walking in with his bloodshot eyes and was dumbfounded to see that his sister had needles sticking out all over her face, as though she was being cursed.
“You!”
Zayden immediately recognized that the woman in the hospital gown was the person who kicked him into the pool.
To be precise, she was Samuel’s fiancée, and Zayden dared not cross her.
Has my sister not suffered enough? Why is this woman torturing her like this? What did she do to deserve such humiliation? Can’t she just rest in peace?
“Why are you doing this to my sister?” Zayden lost all sense of rationality and roared at Natalie. “Yes! My sister did try to hurt you, but you’re still alive! In return, she was disavowed by the family and kicked out! Most importantly, she’s merely a soulless husk now! So what if you’re Samuel’s fiancée? Do you actually think you’re invincible because of that? Do you think you can kick her while she’s down just because Samuel likes you? You’ll face divine retribution sooner or later! Mark my words!”
Natalie frowned as she listened to Zayden cursing at her. She suddenly felt like he was not as bad as she once thought, though his intelligence was still something to be concerned about.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Zayden got angrier seeing that Natalie kept quiet.
“What do you want me to say?” Natalie responded.
“You!” Samuel was at a loss for words and eventually blurted out, “Samuel must be blind to have fallen for someone like you! You’ll be abandoned sooner or later! Just you wait!”
Natalie could not help but laugh after hearing that.
Meanwhile, Charles had arrived at the hospital and was hurrying over with his cane in hand to see his granddaughter.
But the first thing he saw when he opened the door was Natalie and Zayden staring at each other. Then, he noticed Scarlett, who was on the bed had needles all over her face.
“Oh, lord! What sins have the Hamilton family committed to deserve such a punishment?” Charles hooked his head violently in denial.
