A Matrilocal Husband's Counterattack

Chapter 65: Master?

"That's for sure!"
Seeing Adrian Whitehead's surprise, Remedy Sun was in high spirits:
"My grandfather was guided by a master and learned the Nine Palaces Reviving Needle last month."
"This is a needle technique that can bring the dead back to life."
He looked at Alice Whitehead's legs with a look of disdain: "Treating muscle atrophy is a piece of cake."
Isabella spoke in agreement: "Uncle, let Dr. Sun do it. He comes from a family of renowned doctors and knows us, so he won't make a mess of it."
Nine Palaces Reviving Needle?
Ethan nearly burst out laughing.
Adrian Whitehead was stunned, and after a long pause, he sighed: "If you really know the Nine Palaces Reviving Needle, then there is indeed a chance to heal Alice's legs."
He turned his head to look at Ethan.
Although he had full confidence in Ethan, Remedy Sun, after all, knew the long-lost Nine Palaces Reviving Needle, and the chances of curing Alice were greater than fifty percent.
Ethan knew what he was thinking and generously waved his hand: "It's okay, if Dr. Sun can treat her, then let him do it."
"As long as Alice can stand up sooner, that's fine."
Adrian Whitehead showed a look of admiration as well as apology. Unmoved by praise or blame, Ethan truly was someone remarkable.
Alice Whitehead's beautiful eyes showed a trace of interest, feeling that Ethan was different from other doctors.
"Hey, you know how to create a way out for yourself."
Isabella snorted disdainfully at Ethan: "If you don't understand, just admit it. Why try to cover it up?"
She then gave Remedy Sun a look.
Remedy Sun immediately understood, clearing his throat and speaking:
"Grandpa Whitehead, blood brothers should settle their accounts clearly. I heard if I cure Alice's legs, this medical clinic will be gifted to me?"
Adrian Whitehead glanced at Isabella and then spoke indifferently: "Yes, if you cure Alice, I'll gift you this medical clinic."
Isabella's eyes brightened, full of energy: "Dr. Sun, rest assured. My uncle's word is as good as gold. If you don't believe me, I can vouch for it."
"Smack—"
Alice Whitehead didn't waste time. She pulled a stack of documents from her wheelchair and tossed them in front of Remedy Sun and the others:
"Don't worry, my grandfather has already prepared the contract."
Isabella grabbed it and looked it over. Her eyes brightened, and she nodded: "Yes, this contract is valid. We just need the signatures from both parties."
"Alright, then let's not waste time. I'll begin the treatment for Alice now."
Remedy Sun laughed heartily, then had someone open his medical kit and take out silver needles to sterilize them:
"I'll first give her six Revival Needles to boost her blood circulation."
Ethan watched with great interest.
Remedy Sun picked up the silver needle and pressed it into Alice Whitehead's acupuncture point.
Ethan sighed: "Too much pressure!"
Remedy Sun furrowed his brows and shot Ethan an unhappy glance, but said nothing. He picked up the second needle and pressed it into the second acupuncture point.
Ethan bitterly smiled: "Too little pressure."
When he had helped Cici during her rescue, Ethan had seen Dr. Sun using the Revival Needles, so he was quite familiar with the technique.
Remedy Sun suppressed his anger and located the third acupuncture point, inserting the third needle.
Ethan couldn't watch any longer: "Off target..."
"Can you stop yapping?"
Remedy Sun couldn't hold back any longer: "Sometimes it's too light, sometimes it's too heavy, but does that mean you understand the Revival Needles?"
Isabella also scolded: "Ethan, you don't understand, yet you're pretending. What is your intention in disrupting Dr. Sun's treatment?"
"I don't want to say it, but his technique is really wrong."
Ethan wore a helpless expression: "Mistakes like 'one plus one equals three' are hard to keep quiet about, but don't worry, I'll keep silent from now on."
Sure enough, Ethan stopped speaking. Remedy Sun endured his frustration and completed the six Revival Needles.
Alice Whitehead's complexion had indeed improved, but her eyes showed a hint of pain.
Remedy Sun stood tall, as though preparing to do something big:
"Alright, I'm ready to perform the Nine Palaces Reviving Needle."
"Hey, I'm going to use our family's secret technique. Please step aside."
When he saw Ethan standing nearby, he became serious and spoke: "If you don't leave, I won't proceed with the treatment."
After speaking, he held the silver needle motionless, as if giving Ethan an ultimatum.
"Family secret technique?"
Ethan sneered coldly: "Did Dr. Sun tell you that?"
"Damn you, did you just call my grandfather's name? Besides, who cares who told you?"
Remedy Sun snorted: "In any case, I don't want to see you. Get out."
Isabella echoed: "Ethan, leave. Dr. Sun's secret needles aren't for public knowledge."
"Fine, I'll leave."
Ethan gestured to Ms. Scarlet to remain calm, then smiled faintly at Remedy Sun:
"But when you're about to needle the Fengchi, Baihui, and Tianshu points, you must remember to insert the needle while coughing or tapping the skin."
"When you do the Qinglong tail, follow the pattern of three shallow and one deep."
"Otherwise, Alice will suffer great pain from the blood flow going the wrong way."
Remedy Sun, holding the silver needle, froze instantly.
He looked at Ethan in disbelief, as if seeing a ghost:
"How do you know I'll needle the Fengchi, Baihui, and Tianshu points?"
"And know the three shallow and one deep, and the Qinglong tail?"
He shuddered and shouted: "When did you secretly learn our Sun family's secret techniques?"
"Damn you! Who do you think you're talking to?"
At that moment, someone in the hallway shouted angrily, and soon, Dr. Sun entered with a group of people, striding toward them.
"Smack—"
Before Adrian Whitehead or anyone else could speak, Dr. Sun slapped Remedy Sun across the face.
Remedy Sun screamed and stumbled backward for two or three meters.
He covered his cheek and shouted: "Grandpa, why are you hitting me? Was it this guy who secretly learned our family's secret techniques?"
"I'll beat you to death, you bastard! You learned a little bit of the basics and dared to treat patients, showing off the Nine Palaces Reviving Needle in front of Master Ethan?"
Dr. Sun was furious: "Even I have to be humble and cautious."
"Smack—"
Dr. Sun stepped forward and slapped Remedy Sun twice more, causing him to scream and stagger. Finally, in the midst of Adrian Whitehead's pulling, Remedy Sun knelt down with a loud thud in front of Ethan:
"Master, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not disciplining him. I allowed the little bastard to show off, and he offended you."
Master?
Both Adrian Whitehead and Remedy Sun, as well as the others, were stunned, unable to believe what they heard.
Isabella almost screamed, covering her mouth tightly.
No one had expected that the top doctor in ZH City, addressed as Master Ethan, would make such an impact. Word of this would likely shock a lot of people.
"Bastard, I'll tell you now, the Nine Palaces Reviving Needle I learned was taught to me by Master Ethan."
Dr. Sun was still beating his grandson: "He's my master, and he's also your little grandmaster."
"You're arrogant, disrespectful, and still not kneeling to apologize to your little master?"
When Dr. Sun heard that Remedy Sun had come here to treat Alice, he rushed over in a panic, worried that his unskilled grandson might cause trouble.
What he didn't expect was that not only was his grandson arrogant, but he also falsely accused Ethan of stealing the Nine Palaces Reviving Needle technique. Dr. Sun was beyond furious.
This grandson was a complete idiot, didn't he realize this would ruin the family's legacy?
Adrian Whitehead had already realized the truth, his eyes full of passion, his expression excited—Ethan truly was a remarkable figure.
He had to get close to him.
"Alright, Dr. Sun, please calm down, don't hit him too much..."
Seeing Dr. Sun's rage, Ethan kindly stepped forward to mediate: "Just a few dozen more hits should be fine. Hitting too much could kill him..."
