CHAPTER 218: CHAPTER 218: ATTEMPTED MURDER

However, traditional Chinese medicine treatment only requires acupuncture and bloodletting to restore the patient’s cardiovascular pressure to normal levels.

Yet this bloodletting business requires a delicate balance; with the slightest mishap, she wouldn’t just fail to save Evan Hughes, but also hasten his death.

As it stands, considering the current medical standards in the country, neither she nor the hospital can treat him.

Might as well take a gamble!

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chambers hurriedly called several bodyguards to carefully move Evan Hughes to the lounge by the living room.

Summer Monroe stood at the door, blocking Hughes Family relatives and Coralie Hughes who wanted to come in, saying expressionlessly, "I need absolute quiet while I treat him. It’s enough to have Mrs. Chambers stay in here with me; the rest of you wait outside."

A relative of the Hughes Family questioned, "You... can you do it? So young, you’d better not put Evan Hughes in danger while treating him."

Coralie Hughes simply didn’t trust Summer Monroe.

"Don’t be fooled by her! I know her, she’s a wicked woman who maligned my beloved dog last time. She’s just looking to sabotage my dad’s treatment because she holds a grudge against me. Don’t believe her, get her out of here!"

Coralie Hughes’ words made the crowd skeptical of Summer Monroe.

"Right, a young girl the same age as Coralie, what does she know about medicine?"

"I think we should wait for the ambulance! I just checked Evan’s breathing, and it’s only intake with no exhale, he can’t withstand any more upheavals!"

"Miss, we know you mean well, but perhaps it’s best to leave it be. Lives are at stake, this is not some online game."

"Indeed..."

Those who initially hoped Summer Monroe could administer first aid to Evan Hughes, now doubted her after hearing Coralie Hughes’ words, and began persuading against it.

Summer Monroe gave Coralie Hughes a deep look, and asked, "What’s more important, your father’s life or your current dignity? Does undermining me feel so good that it’s worth more than saving your father’s life? Coralie, why your father suddenly collapsed, you know better than anyone, should I explain it to everyone?"

Upon Summer Monroe’s words, Coralie Hughes noticed the suspicious eyes of everyone focus on her.

Her heart flustered, suddenly giving birth to an idea.

If Summer Monroe failed to save Dad and instead directly caused his death... that would be a genuine murder charge!

With that thought, Coralie Hughes steeled her heart and looked at Summer Monroe saying, "Since you’re so confident, stop with the nonsense, I’ll let you try. But if you don’t cure my dad, I’ll sue you for attempted murder!"

Summer Monroe slightly furrowed her brow, hesitated for two seconds, then nodded: "Alright!"

Even if not for the sake of running a Chinese medical hospital, with lives at stake, Evan Hughes was still her blood relative, she couldn’t just stand by.

After speaking, Summer Monroe didn’t delay for a second and turned to enter the lounge.

She instructed Mrs. Chambers to close the door, then approached Evan Hughes to conduct a systematic examination.

After confirming her initial diagnosis was correct, Summer Monroe set her bag aside, opening it to reveal its contents.

Mrs. Chambers curiously peered in, seeing a row of golden needles inside, some as short as a thumb and others over an inch long.

Surprised, Mrs. Chambers asked, "Miss, you came to our young lady’s birthday party, why carry these?"

While taking out each tool one by one, Summer Monroe calmly replied, "A medical practitioner naturally carries these things at all times."

—In fact, she was wary of any traps from Coralie Hughes, so she deliberately brought enough equipment just in case.

Unexpectedly, she really needed to use them.
