Chapter 2 Firstie Spike

Zachary couldn't wait any longer. He pushed the hospital bed into the operating room.

The nurse, Nancy, was shocked by his actions. She grabbed the side of the bed and yelled, "What are you doing?"

"The patient is in a critical situation. We can't wait any longer. We must start the operation now."

"How can you do it? You're just an intern. A Chinese Medicine intern! Do you even know how to conduct an operation? You're not the only person who will get into trouble if you do this!"

Nancy asked a bunch of questions. It was obvious what she was trying to say. She was worried that Zachary would get her into trouble if there was anything wrong with the operation.

"There are too many blood clots inside the patient's head, we can't wait any longer. Let go of the bed," Zachary said in a hurry.

Nancy tightened her grip on the bed instead, "Zachary, this is beyond your scope of practice. Stop messing around. Dr. Tse will be back soon. She will be fine after Dr. Tse operates."

"The responsibility of a doctor is to save people's lives!" Zachary glared at her, "She will suffer from serious complications if the internal bleeding goes on for too long."

It could not be delayed any longer. Internal bleeding in the head would cause various nerves to be suppressed. There would be severe side effects, such as cognitive impairment and memory loss, even if the patient's life could be saved.

"Ahem!"

Vanessa, who was lying on the hospital bed, coughed lightly a few times. Blood was oozing out from her ears.

Zachary's expression changed when he saw that. He knew that he could not wait any longer. He had to operate on her immediately. Therefore, he turned to Nancy and shouted, "Let go of her! The patient can't wait any longer!"

However, Nancy did not loosen her grip at all. She grabbed onto the bed tightly, "I know that you are not in a good relationship with Dr. Tse. You want to take credit. But, you will get me into trouble if you do this."

"This is not related to credit or responsibility. This is about a human life!"

Zachary glared at her furiously. He stretched out his left hand and hit on her elbow with a quick movement. Nancy's arms turned numb, and she loosened her grip involuntarily.

Zachary then pushed the bed into the operating room before she could say anything. He closed the door with a loud 'bang' and then locked it fast.

Nancy didn't expect things to turn out in that way. She rubbed her numb arms and walked out with dissatisfaction.

After entering the operating room, Zachary immediately took out a pair of silver needles. He carried these commonly-used tools with him all the time as a Chinese medicine student.

After sterilizing the silver needles, Zachary put on a serious expression. He held the silver needles gently between two fingers, but he looked steady and firm at that moment.

His fingers moved quickly. The silver needles were stabbed into Vanessa's head accurately at a high speed.

The momentum of the silver needles did not decrease at all after being stabbed into Vanessa's head. A faint reddish colour appeared on her pale cheeks, and her face gradually regained its warmth.

Zachary did not stop. He moved as fast as lightning, turning Vanessa over and then applying pressure on her acupoints in rapid succession.

Vanessa's cheeks turned as red as ripe shrimps. Steam was coming out of her face.

At that point, Zachary moved the index finger and middle finger of his right hand together, and quickly applied pressure at the Central acupoint on Vanessa's head.

Vanessa, who was still unconscious, suddenly let out a muffled groan. Dark red blood was oozing out from her ears and nostrils.

"Thank God. The blood clot has been drained away from the brain," Zachary let out a sigh of relief. He quickly wiped the blood from Vanessa's face.

After that, Zachary cleaned up the wound on her forehead. Then, he sat down to have a rest. He was panting heavily.

"This body is really weak! It's hard for me to even apply the Firstie Spike, the first of the Miraculous Nine Spikes. Well, it seems that I'll have to exercise my body well," he thought to himself.

As Zachary had been treating Vanessa, there was a young man in his twenties standing in the hall outside the emergency room. The man was dressed in fancy designer clothes, and he was shouting at a group of doctors and nurses arrogantly.

Those doctors and nurses who had always belittled Zachary were now acting submissive to this young man.

"What are you waiting for? Save her now! Do the operation now!" The young man shouted angrily.

"Young Master Huang, it's not that we don't want to carry out the operation. The patient's head is seriously injured, and there is internal bleeding in the brain. So, the situation is quite complicated. I'm afraid that the operation would not have a high chance of success if we were to do it now."

A middle-aged doctor awkwardly explained the situation. He did not dare to disobey Fabian Huang, who was the young master of the "Huang Group" in Ludington City.

"What are you talking about?" Fabian glared at the doctor, wanting to rip him into shreds.

At that, the nurse next to him immediately explained, "Young Master Huang, please don't worry. Dr. Tse is a famous surgeon in the city. He will be arriving soon. He will definitely save your friend."

"Hmph!" Fabian snorted. In fact, he was both anxious and regretful.

Vanessa was not just a campus belle, but she also had an influential background. Her grandfather, Maxwell Sue, was a famous Chinese physician in Ludington City. He was also the chancellor of Ludington Medical College and the president of the Chinese Medicine Association in Ludington City. He had a powerful influence on the whole Chinese medicine industry in Ludington City.

The Huang Group focused on selling Chinese medicine and health supplements. If he could utilize their influence, it would definitely be a great advantage. Therefore, Fabian had been trying to win over Vanessa's heart. He continued to pursue her, even after being rejected multiple times.

He had heard that Vanessa was going to Cloudia Mountain for a short vacation, so he drove his luxury car over and insisted on bringing her to watch the sunrise. He was showing off his driving skills on the dark mountain road. As a result, the car hit the cliffside, causing the tragedy to happen.

Maxwell would definitely not let him off the hook if something bad happened to Vanessa. Fabian's heart seemed to clench as he thought about it. It was rare for him to be so worried about anything.

"Oh no! Oh no!"

A loud yell was heard at that moment. Fabian became even more annoyed. Looking at the direction where the sound had come from, he saw a nurse running over in a hurry.

"Why are you shouting?" Fabian huffed in dissatisfaction.

The doctor walked over to the nurse immediately. He grabbed the nurse's arm and growled at her, "Why are you panicking? Can't you see that the Young Master Huang is here?"

Then, he looked at Fabian apologetically as he asked the nurse, "Tell me, what's wrong?"
