Facade

Alan quickly got a technician over to pull up the security footage. 

Oscar was shell–shocked upon noticing Hera’s skillful needle placement in the footage. “That’s the 13 Needles of Death techniquel 

It had been more than 20 years since he last witnessed the 13 Needles of Death in action. Back then, a woman under the alias of Dr. Miracle was the one using IL 

Dr. Miracle worked so skillfully that it had shocked Oscar to the core back then. Those who witnessed her at work would never be able to forget the sight. 

Recently, news of the 13 Needles of Death resurfaced on the Divine Forum: Dr. Shadow, known as the best doctor on the forum, had brought it up in her medical dissertation on alternative medicine. 

But Oscar had never seen Camille use that technique before. That was why he thought the technique didn’t get passed down. 

To think that he’d be able to see it getting replicated in the footage… 

And it was used by a teenage girl, to boot! 

“That’s the legendary 13 Needles of Death?” Alin was shocked as well. 

“Yes! Is she still in the ward? quick, take me to her! Oscar exclaimed, his face now it up. 

A talented doctor the Hera was extremely difficult to find nowadays. 

“She has already lett. Apparently, she’s Mrs. Everett Sendor’s granddaughter,” Alan replied. 

“Take me to Mrs. Everett Senior, then!” Oscar urged. 

Meanwhile, another conversation was going on in Mildred’s ward. 

“Did you really seek Dr. Shadow out? Mildred gazed at th suspiciously. 

“Yes, I did But the Gaskells‘ bodyguards stopped me from entering the ward” 

Lilith recalled what had happened to her earlier when she was looking for Dr. Shadow. She didn’t even get to open Lennon’s ward door, let alone see the esteemed doctor in person. The Gaskells‘ bodyguard had wasted no time in stopping her. 

When the bodyguards found out that Lilith was a member of the Everett family, they told her to get lost without even bothering to report to Lennon. 

“Mom, our relationship with the Gaskell’s has completely soured thanks to Giselle. Our family has filed for bankruptcy as well. It only makes sense that the Gaskells refuse to see me at this time,” “Lilith said helplessly. 

“So the Everetts have gone into bankruptcy..” 

Mildred still found it difficult to accept the truth. She placed a hand on her chest as she slumped on the bed. She spent some time mourning for the family before sitting up once NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“This is all that brat’s fault! She brings nothing but misfortune to the family! Ever since we brought her back and inducted her into our family, a series of unfortunate things happened to us right away! She’s a curse to this family!” 

“Grandma, can you just stop yapping for once? You’re too loud! You’d still be lying on the bed motionlessly if it wasn’t for Heral” Gino grumbled in annoyance from his chair while he played a game on his phone. 

His grumbles caught Mildred by surprise. A second later, she stared at him like he had been possessed. 

“Gino, how dare you talk back to me just to defend that walking jina“” 

She began throwing another fit. “The end of the world is here! My granddaughter stabs me with needles, whereas my grandson dares to talk back to me! There’s no place for me in this family anymore!” 

At that moment, someone knocked on the door from the outside. Oscar and Alan then walked into the ward. 

When Mildred spotted them, she stopped her tit immediately. She asked respectfully, “Dr. Bloom, what’s the purpose of your visi 

Both Gino and Lilith were speechless by Mildred’s double–faced antics. 

“Mrs. Everett Senior, Dr. Bloom specially came here to visit you. How are you feeling right now? Better, perhaps? Alan explained. 

Mildred couldn’t help but feel smug and vain upon hearing Alan’s words. After all, the director of the prestigious Pineview Hospital personally dropped by to visit her. Not many patients had the honor of being visited by Oscar. 

Then, Mildred focused on feeling every part of her body. Ever since she woke up, her head no longer hurt, nor was her lower back constantly sore. In fact, she was filled with vigor and energy. 

“I feel a lot better now This is my first time feeling so energetic ever since I got hospitalized. Thank you for dropping by just to visit me, Dr. Bloom.” 

Once again, Gino was speechless. 

No wonder Mildred was able to throw so many fits in one day. 

Oscar chuckled before replying, “There’s no need to thank me. You should be thanking your granddaughter instead.” 

“What?” Mildred was perplexed
