The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 1258

His name was Joseph Schwimmer, and he was a specialist at the children’s hospital.

He specialized in cardiology.

Although he was only in his 40s, he had practiced cardiology for more than 10 years.

He had a lot of clinical experience.

He had never been wrong about his diagnosis and was confident in his skill.

He was slightly upset that a young man showed up and commented on his diagnosis.

“Then what should we do about the congenital heart disease if we don’t operate on her?”

Joseph looked at Sean and asked with a frown.

“You can operate on her, but not now.”

Sean shook his head and took out the silver needles he brought everywhere.

“What a joke!

“We should operate on her immediately. If not now, when?

“Do you want to do the surgery or not?

“If you don’t do it and something happens, don’t blame me for not warning you.”

Joseph looked at Sean with a frown, his tone slightly impatient.

Sean glanced at Joseph and only shook his head without replying.

“Ha, huff, huff!”

Suddenly, little Lydia on the stretcher turned pale instantly while she breathed faster.

She even showed an expression full of pain.

“Quick! Push her in quickly!”

Joseph’s eyes widened instantly when he saw this.

However, several nurses could not push the stretcher with Sean’s hand on it.

“Are you trying to kill her?

“Get out of my way if you have no money!

“Our hospital will pay for the surgery!”

Joseph widened his eyes, reached toward Sean, and pushed him.

Joseph was a kind doctor.

Seeing little Lydia in critical condition, he only wanted to finish the operation quickly.

However, there was no time for Sean to explain.

With a flick of his wrist, several silver needles of different lengths appeared in his hand.

Then Sean looked around, reached over to take a bottle of rubbing alcohol and cotton balls from Joseph,

and disinfected the needle.

“What… what are you doing?

Joseph grew quiet at the sight of this.

He realized Sean was not an amateur.

Sean remained silent. He reached out and pressed little Lydia’s clothes. The silver needle in his hand

found the right acupoint and stabbed it without hesitation.

“Gosh!”

The nurse nearby could not help but exclaim.

They had no idea what Sean was doing right now.

Was he not afraid of delaying the patient’s illness and making it worse?

Before the crowd could react, Sean inserted the remaining silver needles into the acupoints.

“Special needle treatment?”

Joseph slowly let go and grabbed Sean’s hand. His eyes looked uncertain.

Today’s hospitals were mostly about modern medicine. They also used devices to check illnesses.

However, Joseph and his crew were from Dragon Kingdom after all.

There was no way that they did not know Dragon Kingdom’s traditional medical skills.

Seeing Sean holding a silver needle to perform acupuncture and massaging little Lydia, he could tell it

was not as simple as it seemed.

Sean was experienced and confident, looking professional.

Joseph and the rest could say no more as one silver needle followed another.

Regardless of the effect, Sean’s special needle treatment technique was fascinating to watch.

Sean would probably never go this far if he had no experience!

Everything went on in silence.

Some people in the surrounding wards heard the noise and gathered around to watch.

The corridor was soon crowded with dozens of people.

All eyes were on Sean.

“Wow, why is he giving treatment here?”

“Who is this young man? He’s not wearing a doctor’s coat!”

“I think I heard something about him stopping the doctor’s operation and insisting on giving a special

needle treatment himself.”

“Isn’t that nonsense? If special needle treatment works, why bother with surgery?”

The people around them watched and whispered.

However, as the most authoritative doctor there, Joseph looked surprised and muttered to himself.

“Inner wrist, middle of the palm, center of the chest, middle of the back, middle of the wrist…”

A nearby doctor heard Joseph mention the acupoints on the human body.

With each needle that Sean inserted, Joseph would mention it.

No one knew how transfixed Joseph was.

Sean inserted the acupoints accurately and skillfully, which was not what a young man in his 20s should

be able to do!

These acupoints worked on the heart.

Especially the middle of the wrist. If the needle was inserted appropriately, it could improve myocardial

contractility and the ability of the heart to metabolize without oxygen, making sure the heart muscle could

still function during ischemia and hypoxia.

It was perfect for little Lydia right now.

However, little Lydia’s condition had not improved after Sean inserted several needles.

Instead, her face grew paler as it got harder to breathe.

“Uncle, I’m not afraid… You’re saving me. I’m not afraid…”

Lydia struggled to open her eyes to look at Sean.

She had no idea who Sean was, but she did know that he had brought them a lot of things yesterday.

That was enough for Lydia to trust Sean.

“You’ll be fine. I’ll keep you safe. I’ll keep all of you safe.”

Sean chuckled and took out the last silver needle.

“Sean, what are you doing? Are you sure?”

“Yeah, Lydia’s breathing hard. Are you trying to kill her?”

Watching Lydia’s situation worsen, several people around May became anxious again.

Sean said nothing. He picked up the last silver needle, found the right acupoint, and slowly pierced it.

It was not too deep or shallow.

“Bottom of the little fingernail!”

Joseph said again.

That acupoint could improve the blood circulation of the heart the fastest.

The first few needles were only preparation for this.

This step was the most important, practically equal to a launch button.

Sure enough, with Sean’s final needle, Lydia’s breathing began to stabilize.

It was as if Sean’s hand was magic.

The critical situation was instantly resolved once he inserted the last needle.

Lydia’s breathing soon returned to a steady state, and her pale face gradually turned rosy. Even her lips,

which had been ghastly pale, had improved greatly.

A nearby heart–rate monitor screen showed Lydia’s heart condition had returned to normal.

“It’s back to normal!

“That’s amazing!”

Several nurses widened their eyes in disbelief.
