Cherished By Seven Sisters

Chapter 48 Treating The Little Girl

"Thank you, doctor! Thank you very much!" the woman exclaimed as she carried her daughter into Apricot Hall and lay her down on the bed.

The little girl's body was as cold as ice, and she was so weak that she could barely breathe.

"Please wait outside," Emrys said with a solemn expression as he closed the curtains around the bed.

Good thing she didn't feed her daughter the White Tiger Decoction. Oh, no... Cold Syndrome is spreading all over her body. If I don't treat her now, she could very well die.

With that in mind, Emrys whipped out ten needles and stuck them into the relevant acupoints on the girl's body.

He then channeled Nameless Divine Art and caused a warm energy to flow into the girl's body through the needles.

"Life energy restoration, Soul Cross!"

It was a lot harder to save people than to kill them.

A powerful fighter from Anglandur once led a group of men to the Chanaean border and challenged the authority of Sky Devourer.

Emrys stepped up and killed them all in one slash with an effortless look on his face.

Even so, he found himself struggling to combat the Cold Syndrome that was plaguing the little girl.

The little girl's body was frail, so Emrys had to carefully control the intensity of the energy flowing into her body.

That was no different from asking the strongest man in the world to exert just enough force to squash a bug.

Because of how difficult it was to control that energy output, the entire treatment took about half an hour.

The natural complexion of the little girl's face was restored as the last bit of cold energy was completely removed from her body, and she burst out crying on the spot. The woman, who was going crazy from anxiousness behind the curtains, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her daughter's cries.

"Nancy!"

She ran up to Emrys when she saw him carrying her daughter out.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"I'm not cold anymore, Mommy," Nancy said.

The woman's tears rolled down her cheeks when she heard her daughter's voice.

"Thank you, doctor! Thank you so much for saving Nancy! I will pay you as much as you want, even if it costs me my life savings!"

Seeing as the woman was dressed in shabby clothes, Emrys knew that she wasn't a wealthy person. "The treatment will cost you a hundred."

A hundred? He just saved a life, though!

The woman froze in shock as she prepared herself to spend a huge fortune on the medical bill.

"D-Do you mean a hundred thousand, doctor?" she asked nervously.

"No, I mean a hundred. You can use the rest of the money to buy your daughter some supplements instead."

Thud!

Those words had barely left Emrys' mouth when the woman fell on her knees once again. "Come on, get up! Your daughter has just recovered from her illness, so you need to bring her home and let her get some rest." "O-Okay, doctor. I will make sure to do that. Thanks again. Come on, Nancy. You need to thank the doctor for saving your life."

"Thank you, mister!" said the little girl in a sweet voice.

The two then left Apricot Hall after thanking Emrys profusely.

Emrys breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them leave.

Maintaining an intense focus for thirty minutes while carefully channeling his energy took quite a huge toll on Emrys, but he felt it was worth it when he saw the smile on the little girl's face.

Feeling exhausted, he decided to take a short break and sat down on a chair.

By the time he opened his eyes, he saw Caylie running toward him. "Are you okay, Emrys?"

Emrys nodded. "I'm fine, Caylie. Don't worry about me."

"Thank goodness you're all right." Caylie then breathed a sigh of relief before lecturing him, "Why didn't you answer my calls? Do you have any idea how worried I was?"

It wasn't until Emrys pulled out his phone that he realized he had over twenty missed calls, all of which were from Caylie.

I was busy persuading that woman when Caylie called me the first time, and I put my phone on silent to remain focused on treating the little girl after that. I didn't know it would make Caylie so worried about me. I feel kind of bad for her now...
