Chapter 1343 See When He Can Overcome the Grip of Death
“The odds are against us, Abel smiled wryly. “We don’t stand a chance. There’s no need to jeopardize your lives for us.”
“Mr. Abel, we’d rather die with you than survive without you!” the three bodyguards declared and suddenly opened fire on the assailants.
Abel was prepared and pushed Emmeline down while firing at Edmond.
They stood face to face, with no room for evasion.
Edmond’s shot hit Abel in the shoulder, and Abel’s shot hit Edmond’s shoulder as well.
“Abel!” Emmeline cried out in shock, rushing toward him.
Edmond took advantage of the moment and fired another shot.
Abel, in a split-second decision, used his body to shield Emmeline and fired back.
In an instant, Abel’s shot hit Edmond in the forehead, and the latter fell backward lifeless. However, the shot Edmond had fired toward Emmeline was blocked by Abel and hit his chest.
Abel spat out a mouthful of blood, then collapsed, clutching Emmeline.
“Abel!” Emmeline was terrified. She quickly immobilized him with her needles. But Abel had fallen into unconsciousness, and his life force was rapidly fading away.
“Abel!” Emmeline screamed. “Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me and our children. I still need to give you daughters. Please, wake up! Don’t leave me…”
Meanwhile, the armed assailants, upon seeing Edmond dead, hastily retreated.
The three bodyguards had all been injured.
Emmeline quickly used acupuncture to seal their pressure points and protect their vital organs. Then she called Waylon.
Forty minutes later. Abel and the three bodyguards were brought to Macsen Villa.
In the spacious medical research room on the second floor, the three bodyguards had their wounds. treated, but Abel remained unconscious.
“Waylon,” Emmeline sobbed, “please save Abel, save my husband. I can’t be without him. I can’t…”
“Emma,” Waylon embraced Emmeline and whispered comforting words, “the bullets have been removed, the necessary acupuncture has been performed, and the medications have been administered. The rest depends on Abel’s own vitality…”
“I don’t want him to die,” Emmeline cried out. “If Abel dies, I won’t live anymore…”
“From the current signs, Abel shouldn’t die…”
“When will he wake up then?” Emmeline was panicking and had forgotten that she herself was a doctor too. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“I can’t say for sure. Waylon furrowed his brows. “we’ll have to see when he can overcome the grip of death..”
“I don’t want this.” Emmeline shook her head, tears streaming down her face. “I don’t want Abel to die. I want him to come back to life. He’s still waiting for me to give him daughters. He wanted seven children, and we only have four so far. I still need to give him three more…”
“Perhaps in twenty-four hours, Waylon suggested, “you can use the Five-Elements Needle on him, stimulating all five elements. Maybe that will help him wake up.”
Emmeline nodded. It seemed like the only option at the moment.
The next day, Emmeline fetched her Five-Elements Needle and began to administer acupuncture to Abel.
As she looked at his pale and lifeless face, her heart clenched. She had no idea whether he would wake up and, if so, when.
Downstairs, Lewis and Rosaline were also present. Rosaline had fainted several times from crying.
Lewis tried to console her, saying, “Don’t worry, Abel will be fine. Emmeline is the Wonder Doctor; she’s doing everything she can to save him. He will wake up…
One day, two days, five days, seven days, more than ten days passed…
There was still no sign of Abel waking up.
Emmeline continued to administer the Five-Elements Needle treatment to him every day, barely eating or drinking herself as she stayed by his side.
“Hubby, please wake up.” she pleaded. I need you to wake up. Timothy, Helios, Endymion, and Hesperus want you to wake up. Mom and Dad want you to wake up. You can’t leave me without a husband. You can’t let our four little ones lose their father. You can’t let your parents bury their child…”
She collapsed with a thud.
“Ms. Emmeline, Ms. Emmeline!” Sam was alarmed and quickly supported her. She shouted, “Mr. Waylon, Ms. Emmeline has fainted!”
