Meanwhile, Evan had just walked out of Crystal Palace when he heard a commotion in front of him. "Oh no, someone fainted!"Evan looked in the direction and saw a crowd gathering. He headed toward them.When he got to the crowd, he saw an old man with white hair lying on the ground. He looked to be in his 60s, and his complexion looked bad. He was haggard and quite skinny and frail. His eyes were shut tight, and his body was in a ball as he trembled slightly.An exquisite-looking young lady dressed in branded clothes was crouched next to him. She was holding a phone and calling the ambulance. She yelled at it to send someone over immediately.After that, she turned to the crowd and called out loud, "Is there a doctor here? Can anyone help my grandfather?"The old man's breathing was gradually weakening. Anyone could tell that things were not looking good for him. He might not be able to make it until the ambulance arrived."Is there a doctor? Who can save my grandfather? I'm beggi
"You're not a doctor. Stop!"The young lady got anxious and pushed Evan away. "How can you treat someone just like that? Can you bear the consequences if anything were to happen to my grandfather?"The old man suddenly started coughing and breathing heavily.Sean was gleeful about it. "He's going to die!"Quinn felt happy to see this too. "Let's see how you pay for this old man's life, Evan!"She had nowhere to vent her unhappiness and did not expect Evan to get into trouble on his own. If Evan went to prison, it would make her feel better.The old man suddenly coughed up dark-colored blood and slowly opened his eyes."Grandpa!" the young lady called out anxiously. "Are you alright?"The old man took a deep breath. "I feel much better. Who saved me?""How is that possible? That good-for-nothing really managed to save someone?" Quinn and Sean were shocked.This was especially so for Quinn. She was in disbelief.She was married to Evan for three years but had no idea that Evan
Evan arrived at a quiet villa with Lindsay and her grandfather.The villa covered a vast piece of land, and many domestic helpers and bodyguards worked there. Its architecture was luxurious."This is Sullivan Residence?" Evan immediately recognized where he was.This place belonged to one of the Four Major Families of Harken Bay, the Sullivans."I won't hide it any longer since you recognize this place." The old man introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Caleb Sullivan, and this is my granddaughter, Lindsay.""I'm Evan Carlton." Evan nodded at them."If you can cure my grandfather, the Sullivans can pay you however much you ask for," Lindsay said seriously.Evan replied, "I don't want a single cent. I'll treat him since Mr. Sullivan Senior is already my patient.""Thank you, Dr. Carlton. Please follow me."Caleb led Evan to the living room and ordered all the domestic helpers to leave."What exactly have I contracted, Dr. Carlton?" Caleb asked.Evan said seriously, "Yo
"A miracle doctor?" Aaron looked at the silver needles on Caleb with a frown. "What are these things?""They're the silver needles used by the doctor."Aaron got anxious. "What? Grandpa, how can you trust a random stranger? What if something happens to you? I've already arranged for the most renowned doctor in Harken Bay to treat you. It's Dr. Reuben Keen."Seven or eight doctors in white robes came walking in with their medical bags. Reuben was leading them at the front."What are you doing here, Dr. Keen?" Caleb greeted him with a smile."I heard that you had a relapse, Mr. Sullivan Senior. I came right away because I was worried about you.""Sorry for the trouble. I can't stand up to welcome you because I can't move right now.""It's fine. You can just lay there."Reuben approached Caleb and saw the silver needles on his chest. His face fell. "Why do you have all these silver needles on you, Mr. Sullivan Senior?"Caleb smiled and said, "Don't panic, Dr. Keen. I met a young
"Grandpa!" Lindsay screamed in panic.Caleb's breathing got increasingly weaker as he could not stop coughing up dark-colored blood."Dr. Keen, what's wrong with my grandfather?"Aaron looked at Reuben in a panic."Evan said not to pull out those silver needles no matter what happened, but you insisted on doing it. What should we do now?"Lindsay was tearing up in fear."This is impossible." Reuben frowned. He did not expect things to turn out this way.Lindsay said angrily, "You'd better figure something out, Reuben Keen. You were the one who insisted on pulling out those silver needles. My grandfather wouldn't have ended up this way if it weren't for you."Reuben's expression fell when he heard this. "How dare a young lady like you speak that way to a senior?"Lindsay said coldly, "I used to respect you because you're older than I am, but my grandfather turned out this way because of you. I don't care who you are right now! If you don't save my grandfather, don't think of ev
Evan ignored Reuben's nonsense and focused. His hands went to work, and the silver needles fell right into place into the meridian points.Evan used a five-inch silver needle for the last meridian point and pierced it into the Spirit Palace Meridian Point. Only the needle's handle could be seen poking out.Lindsay noticed the black line on her grandfather's chest had appeared again.Reuben grunted with disdain. "Stop putting on a show."Evan took out the bowl of cooked ingredients that smelled good."What is that, Evan?"Lindsy could see a blob of black stuff inside. Even though it smelled good, there was something strange about it."Crickets, frogs, centipedes, and ants!"His reply gave Lindsay goosebumps. "Evan, did you go out to get these things?""Yup!""Why did you cook them?""To treat your grandfather.""Huh?"Lindsay was taken aback. "Do you plan to use these disgusting things to treat my grandfather?"Aaron frowned. He had never heard of anyone using bugs to trea
Caleb sternly issued an eviction order, so Reuben had no choice but to take his team and leave disgracefully."Evan, what on earth is going on?" Lindsay was puzzled and asked, "Why was there such a disgusting parasite in our grandfather's body?""If my speculation is correct, I'm guessing that Mr. Sullivan Senior has a penchant for raw food," said Evan.Aaron nodded and said, "You're right, Evan. Our grandfather served in the army before. During special training, he had to survive by eating live animals. This habit of his has never changed since then. He often eats raw beef, fish, and other types of seafood."Evan explained, "Mr. Sullivan Senior must have eaten something raw and accidentally ingested the pinworm larva."In fact, the human gastric juice is capable of digesting these larvae. However, Mr. Sullivan Senior has been eating raw food for a long time, which has made his body weak, giving the larva an optimum living environment."The pinworm larva hatched and formed inside
Evan shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal."At this time, Aaron's cell phone rang. He went out to answer a call before coming back."Grandpa, the Waterson boy called and said he wants to talk to me about working together." Aaron asked for Caleb's opinion, "Do you want to meet him?""Is it that second-rate family?""Yes.""Anyone who visits is a guest. Let him in."Aaron nodded and sent someone to receive the guest.Evan stood up and said, "Mr. Sullivan Senior, since you're alright, I'll leave first.""Evan, won't you stay and have a meal with us?" Caleb persuaded him to stay."No need. There are some people I don't want to see," Evan said casually.Caleb felt a little confused with Evan's reply, but he did not ask any more questions. He just said, "Lindsay, please send Evan off.""Okay."Lindsay was about to leave with Evan when Sean and Quinn suddenly walked in."Long time no see, Mr. Sullivan! Evan? Why are you here too?"Sean walked in, his eyes focused on Aar
