Chapter 1028: 286: Perform surgery on Old Lady Song, sever the relationship! _3
The concept of Qi is indeed strange.
Despite being younger than Nathaniel and merely a young girl, Nathaniel was overpowered by a terrifyingly irresistible urge in her presence. Seeing her, he felt compelled to apply the needles immediately and without question.
Nevertheless, Nathaniel's hands trembled noticeably.
Softly sighing in her heart, Viola reflected.
She had perhaps overlooked her duty to care for her apprentice.
To think that she didn't know of Nathaniel's fear of the golden needles.
It seemed she needed to seize this opportunity to help him overcome his dread once and for all.
That's right.
Viola was Suwen.
The miraculously skilled Heavenly Doctor who could restore life to the dying and resurrect decaying bones.
She found it surprising to hear that Nathaniel was the one who awoke her from her unconscious state.
She had contemplated revealing her identity to Nathaniel.
But the time was not yet right.
How could she explain it to Nathaniel...
That she had been reborn?
Would anyone willingly believe in reincarnation if they hadn't experienced it themselves?
Even Viola still found it unbelievable.
"Stop trembling," Viola spoke, "The Book of Changes mentions: The Easy produces the great ultimate, leads to the dichotomy of Yin and Yang, which forms the four symbols, and then the eight diagrams. Relax, acupuncture isn't as difficult as you envisage."
Viola's words echoed with an assuring and calming magic.
Gradually, Nathaniel's nerves began to steady.
One, two, three… eventually, the eighth needle was applied.
Each needle targeting a specific acupoint.
"Well done," Viola said, a mild smile on her face, "Congratulations Divine Doctor Nathaniel, you have overcome yourself."
Nathaniel was taken aback.
He was not even aware of how he managed to complete the sequence of eight acupuncture needles.
Just then, the originally shining golden needle darkened at a perceptible speed, eventually losing its luster entirely.
Nathaniel knew.
The golden needle acupuncture was successful.
The toxins from Viola's body were being gradually cleansed.
At that moment.
Viola distinctly felt a warm current slowly envelop her body.
The weariness on her body miraculously vanished in an instant.
Her face gradually regained its vibrant hue.
Gazing at Viola's transformation, Nathaniel couldn't withhold the shock written all over his face. He initially assumed that Viola merely understood basic acupuncture.
Who could have thought...
Who could have thought... that it actually worked!
Viola really knew golden needle acupuncture.
It was incredible to believe that Viola was just eighteen years old.
Remembering the procedure of acupuncture earlier, he looked at Viola with a deep sense of awe hidden behind his eyes.
This girl had genuinely taken him by surprise.
"Miss Thompson, may I ask you about your Master?"
Had his Master secretly accepted a disciple without any uproar?
Viola Thompson responded with a discreet smile, "My Master was just an ordinary old Chinese medicine doctor, not any famous medical expert."
An ordinary old Chinese medicine doctor?!
An ordinary old Chinese medicine doctor could teach a student like Viola Thompson?
That's absolutely impossible!
As she finished speaking, Viola turned her gaze towards Nathaniel, "If you're interested though, I wouldn't mind accepting you as my apprentice."
Her eyes never left Nathaniel, leaving him unsure whether she was merely teasing him on a whim or being serious.
Nathaniel replied with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have already accepted a Master."
Viola merely smiled.
She reflected that Nathaniel, her only disciple, was remarkably faithful.
A moment later, Viola continued, "I believe my medical skills are no less than Suwen's."
Suwen?
Upon hearing this, Nathaniel furrowed his brows slightly, looking at Viola.
This girl…
While talented, she seemed rather arrogant!
Even the capital city's leader had to refer to his Master with utmost respect as the Divine Doctor.
Yet Viola had casually addressed him by his given name.
However, considering the fact that Viola was a young girl recovering from a serious illness, Nathaniel decided to overlook her impertinence.
Shortly thereafter.
After removing the golden needles from Viola's acupoints, he opened the door to her hospital room.

Sawyer Thompson, Mary Perryne, and Terrence Lentz, along with others, had been waiting outside.
The moment the door opened, Terrence quickly stood up and asked, "How is it?"
Miss Thompson is a medical prodigy. Therefore, the process of golden needle acupuncture went very smoothly. The toxins within her body have been completely flushed out." As he spoke, he paused, then added, "A few days of rest, and she'll be fine!"
Even at the present moment, Nathaniel found it all rather mystifying.
The first thing was—never would he have thought she could surpass his master.
Secondly—he never thought he could overcome his fear and take up the golden needles.
Had he not accepted a master already, he might have genuinely considered learning from Viola.
But as he had already accepted a master.
He should never betray his teacher.
Upon hearing this, Sawyer Thompson and Mary Perryne were utterly ecstatic, "Thank you! Thank you, Divine Doctor Nathaniel! You are like a guardian angel to our family!"
