Miracle Needling could raise the dead, but only if the performer had the internal power to do so. It was a draining task, so he only used it for emergencies.

"Ms. Harmon, the container," Dustin reminded.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:12 | Report Abuse

Natasha opened the container hurriedly, and a pungent smell filled the room. Andrew got the brunt of it.

"More absurdities!" Dr. Jansen snorted again.
"Do you really think some needles and fried insects can save a man from dying?"

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:13 | Report Abuse

"Just because you can't, it doesn't mean others cannot," Dustin replied lightly.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:13 | Report Abuse

"If you succeed, I'll eat this container of insects!" Dr. Jansen said.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:14 | Report Abuse

Just as he finished speaking, Andrew opened his mouth for the first time after days of being unresponsive.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:15 | Report Abuse

A black centipede crawled out of his mouth. Attracted by the smell of the fried insect, it climbed into the container and began eating them.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:16 | Report Abuse

"A centipede? Is that a centipede?"
"Oh my god, there was a centipede in old Mr. Harmon's body!"
"Ew!"

When the people in the room realized what was happening, they were shocked. Ruth even started vomiting.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:17 | Report Abuse

was terrifying to see a centipede climb out of a human's mouth. This was the stuff of nightmares.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:17 | Report Abuse

Suddenly, there was a sound of loud coughing from the bed. Andrew opened his eyes.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:18 | Report Abuse

"Is he awake?"
Everyone was stunned when they saw Andrew return to consciousness.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:19 | Report Abuse

The doctors were dumbstruck when they noticed the monitors showing Andrew's vital signs were all normal.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:19 | Report Abuse

"That's amazing! Grandfather is awake!"
Ruth burst into tears of happiness when she saw her grandfather's recovery. Natasha also breathed a sigh of relief.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:20 | Report Abuse

"Mr. Rhys, I don't know how to thank you for this. From now on, you are the Harmon family's honored guest!"
She bowed deeply to Dustin.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:20 | Report Abuse

"You're welcome, Ms. Harmon. It was no trouble at all."

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:21 | Report Abuse

Dustin gave her a small smile. However, Dustin's humble words irked Dr. Jansen. He and his team had done all they could to cure Andrew, but this punk called it "no trouble at all?"

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:21 | Report Abuse

Clearly, Dustin was insulting them indirectly!

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:22 | Report Abuse

"Hey, you! What's up with the centipede? Why would there be a centipede in my grandfather's body?" Ruth spoke up.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:22 | Report Abuse

"This is not a normal centipede. It's actually a venomous curse." Dustin turned to Andrew.
"Mr. Harmon, where were you recently? Have you eaten anything out of the ordinary?"

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:23 | Report Abuse

"You're spot on. A few days ago, I was at Millsburg for a party and drank some wine."
Andrew nodded.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:23 | Report Abuse

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have been cursed," Dustin concluded.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-22 22:24 | Report Abuse

"Cursed?"
Andrew was taken aback. The rest of them stared at each other in surprise. After all, it wasn't every day that someone got cursed.

"Don't spout nonsense! It's illogical that this could be a curse! If you ask me, Mr. Harmon must have ingested centipede eggs by mistake!" Dr. Jansen interrupted.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 02:45 | Report Abuse

"Dr. Jansen, any normal centipede eggs would have been digested by the stomach's acid! It's fine if you are not familiar with this, but do not spread false information!" Dustin retorted calmly.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 02:45 | Report Abuse

"You..." Dr. Jansen shut up when he caught sight of Natasha's deadly glare.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 02:46 | Report Abuse

"Mr. Rhys, thank you for your diagnosis. I will investigate this further," Natasha said seriously.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 02:47 | Report Abuse

She had heard of venomous curses before, however, she had no personal experience. Who would have thought that her grandfather was suffering from this? Natasha was determined to make the perpetrators pay for this!

"Now that the curse is lifted, you should feed him this prescription for five days to remove the toxins from his body." Dustin scribbled on some paper.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 02:48 | Report Abuse

"Thank you so much, Mr. Rhys. Natasha took the prescription gratefully.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 02:48 | Report Abuse

"Alright, I will excuse myself since there's nothing more to be done." Dustin got up to leave.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 02:49 | Report Abuse

"Let me see you off." Natasha got up as well.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 02:49 | Report Abuse

"Sis, what should I do with these insects?" Ruth interjected.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 02:49 | Report Abuse

"Dr. Jansen mentioned that he was going to eat those insects. Since he was the one who requested it, we shall fulfill his wish! All of you, make sure he finishes those insects before leaving!" Natasha said coldly.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 02:50 | Report Abuse

"What?" Dr. Jansen went pale.
At this moment, in another hospital room, a similar scene of chaos was unfolding.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 02:50 | Report Abuse

"Mom! How could Rhys hit me? Please, you have to teach him a lesson!"

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 02:51 | Report Abuse

James was whining on the hospital bed with his head bound up tightly. Only his nose and mouth could be seen.

"Don't worry, I will get even with him for you!" Florence comforted James gently.

"Mrs. Nicholson, it is unthinkable that Dustin had the nerve to physically assault both of you!" A handsome young man dressed in a suit spoke up. He was the second son of the Nolan family, Chris Nolan. He was also deeply infatuated with Dahlia.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:04 | Report Abuse

"Chris, you wouldn't believe it. That kook went mad and hit my son like a maniac. No one could stop him!" Florence gritted her teeth.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:05 | Report Abuse

"Really? Was he such a crazy person?" Chris frowned. "I know some thugs who can teach him a lesson. Shall I help you out, Mrs. Nicholson?"

"Oh, that would be great!" Florence broke into a smile.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:06 | Report Abuse

"Chris, make sure they knock some sense into him. Fracture a bone or two!" James snarled in anger.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:06 | Report Abuse

"Sure thing. I assure you, he is as good as dead!" Chris laughed maliciously.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:07 | Report Abuse

To be honest, Dustin's marriage to Dahlia had bothered him long ago. How was it possible that a useless bum like him could have such an attractive and successful lady as his wife? Chris couldn't pass up this opportunity to beat Dustin up!

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:08 | Report Abuse

"James, how are your injuries?" Dahlia asked as she entered the hospital room suddenly. She was dressed in a slinky black dress that showed off her voluptuous curves. Chris's eyes brightened considerably.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:08 | Report Abuse

"Dahlia, you're finally here! Look at me, I'm terribly hurt!"
James sat up immediately and pointed at his bandaged head.

Posted by Zuliana > 2023-12-23 03:08 | Report Abuse

"Alright, Dustin told me what happened and apologized over the phone. Let's forget about it and move on," Dahlia comforted her brother.
