BXBX NOVEL Chapter 54 - Awakening
Chapter 54: Awakening
“You’re exaggerating.”
Hearing Steve’s shocking words, Jayden shook his head.
How could a poor man threaten the Hayes family even with Cara’s support?
Isn’t Steve underestimating the strength of the family?
“Maybe.”
Steve smiled and did not argue.
***
At the hospital.
“Sorry, Miss Williams! We’ve done our best,”
The white-haired hospital director said with a heavy expression.
Although no one had mentioned that the person on the bed was related to Cara, seeing her appear here, the director knew that the person on the bed had to be very important.
“Okay.”
Cara nodded and walked into the ward.
When the hospital director saw this, he exchanged glances with Hugh and shook his head before leaving.
Hugh followed Cara in the room.
On the bed, Cole was lying quietly. No sound came from him at all, and his chest had stopped rising and falling.
Cara sat in front of the bed and stared at Cole. “Why did all of you leave one by one?”
“My condolences, Miss!”
Hugh took a deep breath.
Cara reached out and placed her hand on Cole’s cold face. “It’s okay. I’m used to it.”
Her mother had died twenty years ago; her father ten years ago.
And today, Cole had left as well.
She did not even see the last of Cole.
The only thing left was him with his eyes tightly shut.
Cara suddenly shed two streams of tears. “I think this is the first time I touched your face.”
Hugh remained silent.
Kamila walked out.
The two of them looked at Cara in silence.
Other than shedding tears, Cara did not react in any way.
However, at this moment, they realized that Cara’s fingers were trembling. She seemed to be touching Cole’s face, but she did not come into contact with it.
People say that it hurt.
Cara did not know how Cole felt when the blade passed through his heart.
Perhaps, there was just a new hole in the heart.
She also felt a hole in her heart.
Yet another one!
Cara’s tears had already dried up. After a while of silence, she said, “I’ll call his parents.”
“Okay.”
Hugh nodded.
Cara stood up slowly. “Don’t send him away yet.”
“Okay,” Hugh replied.
He knew that Cara was referring to not sending Cole to the mortuary yet.
“I’ll get someone to send him off.”
Cara stared at Cole.
Hugh was silent.
The Hayes family and the Yeagers family were going to suffer.
At that moment…
Cara suddenly saw Cole’s ring. She was slightly stunned.
The ring emitted a red light.
The red light deepened, turned into a demonic red, and finally, turned into nothingness.
The cycle repeated…
At the next moment.
Snap!
The ring made a crisp sound.
A crack appeared on the gemstone on it.
Click!
The second crack!
Bang!
A soft explosion took place.
The gem shattered.
Cara’s pupils shrank.
The next second…
Cole’s body suddenly moved.
Bang!
The hand with the ring suddenly jerked and fell.
Boom!!
The bed he was on instantly shattered.
***
Cole’s consciousness was blurry.
The moment the blade had pierced his heart, his mind had seemed to have shattered into nothingness.
Then, he had fallen into chaos.
It was long.
Here, he saw some familiar and unfamiliar scenes.
Three years ago…
When looking for an internship, he had bid farewell to his parents and Jane. An old man in a black robe led him out of the school.
On the long mountain road…
The stack of medical books was tall.
The old man smiled at him.
“Master?”
Cole was stunned.
The old man smiled. “My name is Grant Rogers. They prefer to call me the Miracle Healer.
“I took you in as my student today because you’re extremely talented and have a good character. That’s why I taught you medicine and martial arts.
“The goal of martial arts is cultivating true energy and strengthening the body. However, it will also play a powerful role before an enemy. Martial arts practice has different levels, from the first grade to the second, and so on.”
In this memory, Cole was looking at the old man in a daze.
Why do I not recall this?
After saying all that, Grant pondered something for a while, then continued.
“Of course, I’m not teaching you martial arts so that you can kill people. (you are reading on our content copy site.Please copy and search this link ” https://bit.ly/3NSnQtR ” to support us) The main reason is that you can protect yourself. Because, in the future, when you treat illnesses and save people, you will definitely encounter people who are violent against doctors. With martial arts, you can also protect yourself from unreasonable patients.”
Cole Stone: “…”
Why do I feel that this memory is a little absurd?
Then…
The scene changed. Cole saw himself leaning on the stone table. Sometimes, he read medical books carefully and used scalpels. Sometimes, he was chased around the mountains by Grant with a stick and was beaten until he screamed.
According to Grant, this was called training his movement technique.
A year passed by in a flash.
On this day, Cole had learned medical skills and was prepared to leave the mountain to attend the graduation ceremony.
Grant also planned to leave.
However, at this moment, a woman carrying a dying little girl arrived on the mountain.
The little girl was delicate and cute.
However, her pale face ruined everything.
The woman begged with a trembling voice, her eyes red with tears, “Mr. Rogers, please save my daughter. I can give you anything, including my life. Please save her. She’s only four years old…”
After pleading, she knelt and kowtowed to Grant.
Before Cole could stop her, the woman had already injured her forehead and was bleeding.
Grant stopped her and went forward to take a closer look.
In the end, he sighed. “I can’t save her. Her life is over. Her life has already started to end.”
The woman seemed to have been struck by lightning. Her eyes were dazed, and she could not even cry.
Even the Miracle Healer with top medical skills had said so.
Her daughter was really hopeless.
Seeing this, Cole could not bear it. Suddenly, he hesitantly said, “Master, can I use the Heaven Defying Fate Changing technique?”
“Defying the heavens and changing fate?”
Grant frowned. “No, the Heaven Defying Fate Changing Technique is a medical taboo. There is an oath that the person who cast it will suffer a backlash. The price is very heavy. At best, it will seal your medical memories, and you will lose all of your innate true energy. At worst, it will make you paralyzed and unconscious for the rest of your life.
“There’s no way to break the Medical Oath other than death.
“You’ve just learned medical skills. Even the lowest price is something you can’t afford.”
Cole smiled. “But didn’t I study medicine to save people?”
“Nonsense!”
Grant snorted.
Cole chuckled and said, “Then would I forget about Master?”
“I don’t know. It might not involve medicine, so you won’t forget me.” Grant hesitated.
“Then that’s it.” Cole nodded. “For the past year, getting along with Master has been the most important. As for vital energy and medical skills, they are all external things. How can they compare to life?”
“If you practice well, you can replace me sooner or later. At that time, who knows just how many people can be saved because of you. There’s no need to do this for a little girl.” Grant sighed.
“It’s nothing. I just can’t stand to see a life die in front of me like this. She’s only four years old.”
Cole was adamant.
