Chapter 558: Tto Emerge
Tina steadied herself and gently pushed Jared's hand away. She approached Grandpa Brookes once again,
listening to his somewhat anxious breathing, her expression growing increasingly solemn. Tina paused, then
raised the needle in her hand and thrust it towards Grandpa Brookes' acupoint.
Bang!
Tina was suddenly flung backward, her speed so great that even Jared couldn't catch her in time; he only
managed to grab her hand.
"Tina!" Jared knelt on the ground, lifting the fallen Tina into his arms, allowing her to lean against his legs.
Tina suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood, her complexion turning deathly pale instantly.
Jack hurried forward, pressing down forcefully on the pressure point in Tina's hand.
"Tina, are you feeling better?" Jack asked worriedly.
Tina nodded, supported herself using Jared's hand, and stood up, disbelief flashing in her eyes. She was unable
to perform the acupuncture? Why was this happening?
What on earth was hidden inside Grandpa Brookes?
"I'll try again." Tina refused to believe it, confident in her skills, she was determined to succeed this time.
Jared, Jack, and Scarlett all tried to stop her, deeply concerned for Tina's safety, "Tina, don't try again."
"Indeed, Tina, I'll find a solution. If it happens again, your meridians could shatter."
"Tina, sit down and rest, drink this. It will help regulate your meridians," Scarlett said, handing over a cup filled
with blue liquid.
Tina took the cup, knowing it was a specially brewed blue tea, rare in the world. She tilted her head back and
drank it. "Don't worry, | will take care of myself. Grandpa is what matters."

Saying this, Tina stepped forward again. Jack tried to stop her, but Jared extended his hand, shaking his head at
Jack. "Let Tina decide, no one should interfere."
As he spoke, Jared stood behind Tina, his arms open in a protective stance. If Tina were to be thrown back again,
he would be there to lessen the impact.
Tina focused intently on the final acupoint, channeling all her internal energy into the golden needle at her
fingertips and stabbed down fiercely.
An invisible barrier blocked the needle in Tina's hand; despite exerting all her strength, she still couldn't perform
the acupuncture.
Seeing this, Jack placed his hand on Tina's wrist, adding his strength to hers. The barrier seemed to grow
stronger against their combined force. Sweat beaded on Tina's forehead, and even Jack began to falter. Tina
exhaled deeply, releasing all her tension.
Another loud bang.
Both Tina and Jack were thrown backward, Jack kneeling on the ground, his hand on Tina's wrist throbbing with
excruciating pain, as if thousands of needles were stabbing into it.
Tina, like before, was propelled forward, but thankfully Jared was there to catch her, and the effects of the blue
tea helped prevent her meridians from shattering.
She almost passed out.
The golden needle in her hand broke into several pieces, falling to the ground.
Even Jared, who had shared the shock, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, feeling as if his internal organs had
shifted.
Scarlett helped them up, each drinking a cup of blue tea, which slightly alleviated their condition.
"What's happening? What went wrong? Tina, are you alright?" Scarlett's eyes were red with worry.
As Grandpa Brookes' breathing grew more labored and Tina and her companions were in such a state, Scarlett
felt helpless apart from crying.
Tina knew Scarlett was anxious, she squeezed her hand, "I'm fine, I'll heal my uncle's hand soon, don't worry.
Could you brew another pot of blue tea? Grandpa might need it later." Scarlett nodded repeatedly, wiping away
her tears, "Tina, don't move anymore, I'll go make sblue tea right now."
Scarlett hurried to the kitchen, and the relaxed expression on Tina's face immediately vanished.

"How are you, uncle?" Tina asked.
Jack held his right arm, "I can hold on, it's nothing."
"Uncle?"
"All is well." Jared pressed his chest, easing his breathing.
Tina wiped the sweat from her forehead, trying to stand but finding herself completely without strength, so she
remained seated, taking out her phone to call Master Tam.
Master Tam's number hadn't changed; now that his feigned death had been fully exposed, he no longer turned
off his phone or ignored Tina's calls.
Master Tam quickly answered, his first words about dodging debt, "Girl, we agreed your fiancé would give me
that 80 million, you can't-"
Tina coughed a few times, clutching the fresh blood in her palm, "I am with the Brookes family."
Hearing Tina's labored breathing, Master Tam stood up seriously, his tone more solemn, "What's going on?"
"My grandfather has fainted, but | can't administer acupuncture to his heart, something is blocking me."
Previously, Tina had encountered such situations, but had always resolved them easily; however, this time, even
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe golden needles were broken! This was the first tsince Tina had mastered her medical skills that she
encountered a situation where she couldn't perform acupuncture. Master Tam looked at the man opposite him,
"Alright, we're coming right away."
After hanging up, Master Tam said to the man, "It seems you must cout of retirement."
The man nodded; if Tina couldn't handle it, he was the only choice.
Ten minutes later, Master Tam and the man arrived at the Brookes family's villa.
Tina, looking at the man following Master Tam, felt an inexplicable familiarity, though she had never seen him
before.
She clutched her chest, her eyes reddening.
Why did her heart ache so?
The man walked up to her, stuffed a pill into her mouth, and patted her neck with the palm of his hand, "Sit
down, circulate your energy for ten minutes." Tina had no questions; as soon as the pill entered her mouth, she
knew this man was more formidable than herself.
The man then glanced at Jared and flicked his forehead as simply as flicking a finger.
Jared felt a powerful force directly tighten inside him from his forehead, clearing all his meridians, more effective
than drinking ten pots of blue tea. "Next time, don't act tough."
Jared pressed the tail of his eye.
The reproachful tone, the indifferent action, and the familiar aura of this man-how could they be so familiar?
The man then turned to look at Jack. Upon seeing him, his step slightly paused, then he approached and inserted
a needle into Jack's right arm. "After ten minutes, let... let the young lady take it out for you, she knows what to
do."
Jack thanked him, "Sir, about my father..."
"Withhere, there's no problem." The man smiled at Jack and carried his medical bag into the room.
Master Tam stood at the door, "He doesn't like to be watched while he works, please wait a moment."
