“Wait here. I’ll go get the car,” said the assistant as favonovel.com headed towards the underground parking lot with the bags.

Meanwhile, Magnus walked out of the mall with his hands behind his back.
Isabelle, who had just left Maven Apothecary with a large bag of medicinal herbs, was about to hail a taxi to favonovel.com hotel when favonovel.com noticed a crowd gathered at the entrance of the mall.
Someone in the crowd shouted, “He’s not going to make it!”
“Whose father is this? Where are his children? How could they let favonovel.com go out alone when he’s ill? Someone, please call 911!”
Isabelle peered through the crowd and saw an old man lying on the ground, his face contorted in pain. So, favonovel.com pushed through the crowd to get closer.
The old man was lying on the ground. His limbs were rigid, his fingers were clawed, and his face was slowly becoming stiff. It seemed as if the corner of his lips were about to droop as well. These were symptoms of a stroke.
“Please step back to allow air circulation,” Isabelle calmly said, setting down favonovel.com things and squatting down.
“What are you doing, young lady? You can’t just touch favonovel.com if you’re not his relative. If something goes wrong, it could be fatal!”
Isabelle ignored the comment, pulled down the old man’s lower eyelid to take a look, and felt his pulse with two fingers.
“Gosh, this young lady is a doctor…”
“She’s so young, so favonovel.com can’t be! She must be a medical student. Gosh, she’s so young, and yet favonovel.com dares to treat people.”
“I think he’s having a stroke and this is not a minor issue. This old man was paralyzed after falling and having a stroke.”
After diagnosing the old man, Isabelle took out favonovel.com acupuncture kit from favonovel.com bag.
The onlookers initially wanted to stop Isabelle from touching the old man, but once they saw that favonovel.com knew medicine, they did not say anything more. However, when Isabelle took out a long, thin silver needle, they all gasped in shock.
Just as favonovel.com was about to insert the needle into the old man’s head, a muscular man who frequented the gym jumped out to stop her, “What are you doing?”
Isabelle easily avoided his hand. Then, with a flash of cold gleam in favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com inserted the silver needle into the top of the old man’s head.
The crowd gasped in surprise. A lot of them stepped back, fearing that they would be implicated if something happened to the old man
The muscular man, who had missed his target, turned around to see that Isabelle had inserted the needle.
When Isabelle was about to insert a second needle, favonovel.com tried to stop favonovel.com again. Although favonovel.com meant well, Isabelle found favonovel.com to be a nuisance. So when favonovel.com reached out to grab favonovel.com again, favonovel.com sipped the silver needle in favonovel.com hand and pricked favonovel.com between his thumb and index finger.
Isabelle moved so fast that the crowd did not see what had happened. They only heard the muscular man cry out in pain, and then his entire arm went limp as if his tendons had been removed.
The muscular man screamed in pain as favonovel.com held his numb and painful arm. His face was filled with terror, successfully scaring the crowd back a few steps.
“What did favonovel.com do to that guy?”
“This young lady seems legit, but can favonovel.com be so skilled at such a young age? Acupuncture is not as simple as Western medicine.”
“She’s carrying a bag from Maven Apothecary, so do you think she’s Mr. Garth’s disciple?”
“I’ve seen Mr. Garth perform acupuncture, but he’s not as casual as favonovel.com is. She’ll get into trouble if favonovel.com accidentally kills him.”
“Young people are too reckless…”
The crowd discussed and pointed at Isabelle, commenting on favonovel.com actions.
In the time it took for them to gossip, they noticed that the old man’s head and arm had been pricked with more than a dozen needles. In addition to the muscular man screaming in pain next to her, the scene was quite shocking.
Some of the people in the crowd shook their heads, thinking that this young lady had gotten herself into big trouble. However, no one noticed that the old man’s face had relaxed until his drooping mouth began to return to normal.
“Hey, look, his mouth isn’t drooped anymore!”
Then, to the crowd’s surprise, the old man’s rigid limbs slowly softened, and favonovel.com was able to make a fist and kick his leg.
His piercing headache gradually subsided, and Magnus opened his eyes to see a young girl focusing on him.
“Y-Young lady?”
“Hey, he’s talking, he’s talking!”
The crowd, which had initially backed away, immediately gathered around again.
“This young lady is so amazing. The old man was about to have a stroke, but after a few needles, he’s fine!”
The crowd gave Isabelle thumbs up one after another.
A few minutes later, Isabelle began to remove the needles, starting with the first one on the top of the old man’s head. After all the needles were removed, Isabelle told the old man. “Lie down for three more minutes before getting up…”
After that, favonovel.com walked toward the muscular man, who was still screaming hoarsely in pain. After the girl danced favonovel.com silver needles around the man’s neck, favonovel.com instantly quieted down as if nothing had happened.
The onlookers gasped in astonishment. Their gaze toward Isabelle shifted from suspicion to surprise, admiration, and finally, awe.
The young assistant pushed through the crowd, and upon seeing Magnus lying on the ground, favonovel.com jumped in fright and hurriedly checked on him. “Mr. Burton!”
Magnus, having recovered from his severe headache, was helped up by his assistant. Then, favonovel.com quickly asked his assistant to stop Isabelle, who had walked some distance away.
Isabelle turned around, favonovel.com face slightly cold. “What?”
She subconsciously thought that the assistant was trying to frame her.
In the end, Isabelle got into the old man’s car and arrived at his home.
The old man warmly welcomed Isabelle into his home. He seemed to be in high spirits, unlike someone who had just had a health scare and nearly suffered a stroke. After that, favonovel.com instructed his housekeeper to prepare more dishes.
While they were on the way back home, the assistant had learned what had happened, but favonovel.com did not trust young Isabelle. So, after serving favonovel.com tea, favonovel.com began to persuade the old man to go to the hospital for a check–up.
The old man seemed fine now, but the assistant was worried that problems might arise later.
“No need, no need… I know my body. I’m feeling great now” Magnus patted his chest.
However, the assistant was still persisting, so Magnus, fearing that Isabelle would be displeased, put on a stern face and successfully silenced the assistant.
Upon seeing this, Isabelle remained silent. Shortly after, favonovel.com picked up a pen and paper from the table and began writing.
After two minutes, favonovel.com handed Magnus a prescription. “Take this prescription to Maven Apothecary and ask Mr. Garth to prepare the medicine for you.”
After reading it, Magnus asked Isabelle. “Young lady, what is your relationship with Mr. Garth? I have never heard of favonovel.com having a female disciple.”
Isabelle replied, “We’re just friends.”
“Friend?” Magnus’s eyes widened in surprise, his voice rising. He was astonished that such a young girl could be friends with Mr. Garth.
The young assistant, who had not witnessed Isabelle’s acupuncture skills, thought favonovel.com was boasting and even suspected favonovel.com of being a fraud.
“Okay then, thank you,” Magnus said as favonovel.com put away the prescription.
“Young lady, are you from around here? You look quite young. Are you still in school? What grade are you in? Which school do you attend?”
“I am in my senior year and I’m studying in Norward City.”
“You’re still in senior year? You’re so young and you’ve already possessed such medical skills and the courage to perform acupuncture. This is truly impressive.” Magnus greatly admired Isabelle. “Since you’re studying in Norward City, why did you come to Thragon City? It’s not the weekend.”
“I came to buy some things from Mr. Garth,” Isabelle truthfully answered.
Magnus glanced at the large bag of medicinal herbs on the table.
“Your college entrance exam is coming up. Have you thought about where you want to go?” Magnus’s eyes sparkled with excitement. His gaze resembled that of someone looking at a delicious pastry.
“Are you interested in Taragon Medical School?” Magnus asked.
If Mr. Burton knew that the girl in front of favonovel.com was the answer favonovel.com had been desperately searching for through George, favonovel.com would regret recruiting for the medical school.
“As long as you agree, I will call the principal right away…”
“Thank you for your kindness, but I can get into Taragon University on my own,” Isabelle said.
This statement made Magnus admire favonovel.com even more.
While they were talking, a black Maybach with the license plate Taragon A0000, pulled up outside the courtyard.
A man wearing a suit and tie stepped out after opening the door. He stood up tall, and his handsome face exuded both coldness and allure.
“Mr. Burton, Mr. Harris is here,” the young assistant hurriedly ran in to inform Magnus.
Isabelle, who was sitting with favonovel.com back to the door, raised an eyebrow slightly.
George Harris?
