Instead, he turned toward the busy healers around Quinn, frowning as he urged, "Make way. Leave her to me." Jwalked up and asked, "Do you know her, Frank?" "Yeah," Frank directed his vigor into his fingers, tapping Quinn's various acupoints rapidly without stopping.
Soon, she coughed out a mouthful of clotted blood.
"Needle!" Frank snapped, holding out a hand to Janet.
"Oh... Okay!" Jpromptly ran to get a box of disinfected needles.

"Mmmph." Quinn groaned as she lay on the surgical table, her gaze troubled and miserable.

"No, absolutely not..." She wheezed, coughing blood as she leveled him a pleading gaze. "M-Mr. Lawrence... I'll cwith you to Sage Lake Sect tomorrow. and expose Donald Salazar's true nature to our chief, Dahok Ocean!"
