Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Chapter 6

Today, Brandon decided to take a stroll on his own. When the family doctor was out getting meds, and Bennett was buying water, he seized the moment and sneaked out of the car solo.

Phew, thank goodness they found him, or they'd be toast! NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

The family doctor glared at Josefina and scoffed, "Where did this little missy come from, trying to play doctor? I bet you didn't even finish high school, did ya? Who's gonna take the fall if this man kicks the bucket, huh?"

Bennett jumped in quickly, "Dr. Kyler, please, you gotta save Mr. Brandon."

Dr. Kyler raised an eyebrow, looking down her nose at Josefina, and said to Bennett, "Let's get him to the hospital first. This ain't the place to treat him."

Josefina clapped her hands and crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes dancing confidently as she firmly said, "You lay one finger on him, and he's a goner for sure."

This...

Bennett was caught in a bind, waffling back and forth.

Dr. Kyler let out a cold laugh. "He's out cold. Not rushing him to the hospital is asking for trouble. You're full of hot air, little missy! You think I won't call the cops on you right now?"

Josefina was unfazed. "Go ahead, call them. Let's see who gets nabbed."

Just then, an old man passing by added his two cents, "The girl's right, move him now, and he won't make it to the hospital. But hey, even if you don't, he's a goner anyway and won't last a minute before he bites the dust."

Dr. Kyler was about to lash out when she caught sight of the newcomer and was taken aback. "Professor!"

This man was a famous retired doctor!

Bennett pleaded with the professor, "Please, sir, could you save him?"

The professor shook his head, looking troubled. "Sorry, this gentleman is beyond saving."

Josefina frowned, her eyes brimming with self-assured brilliance, and calmly retorted, "Who says he can't be saved!"

Dr. Kyler sneered, "Dr. Sam's a retired med school professor. What do you know? If you can bring Mr. Brandon back, I'll kneel down right here!"

Josefina's lips curled into a slight smile, her eyes sparkling. "You said it!" Without another word, Josefina squatted down and started sticking silver needles into the unconscious man's acupuncture points.

She stuck them swiftly, accurately, and ruthlessly, one after another, until the last needle was in place, and then Josefina finally stopped.

Sam was gobsmacked. "Isn't that the Acupuncture skill called the Phoenix Touch? Girl, how do you know this long-lost technique? Could you be from the House of..."

"He's awake!" Bennett exclaimed, cutting off Sam mid-sentence.

Dr. Kyler's jaw dropped at the scene, her eyes nearly popping out of her head. This young lady actually brought Mr. Brandon back?

Josefina didn't remove the needles but turned to Bennett. "Take him to the hospital."

Bennett, pumped up, nodded vigorously and then asked Josefina, "Could you come to the hospital with us? If anything happens to him again, only you can save him."

Dr. Kyler sneered, "She won't dare. Who knows if she can really save Mr. Brandon!"

Josefina lifted her head, her gaze cold and proud as she looked at Dr. Kyler. "Of course, I'll go. After all, someone here owes me a kneel."

...

Brandon was taken to the hospital.

Soon, a man in a business suit arrived, followed by an imposing entourage of a dozen people. The man was tall and striking, with sharp brows and eyes. His thin lips were pressed together, his face chiseled, and his gaze proud and disdainful. He strode forward with long, commanding steps, exuding an aura of cold dominance.

Seizing the moment when Bennett and Sam were away, Dr. Kyler rushed up to the newcomer, "Oliver, you've arrived just in time. This woman has ulterior motives. She nearly did Mr. Brandon in!"

The man's dark eyes fell on Josefina, radiating an air of overwhelming presence.
