Chapter 209
“Rowan, Esme, you guys really brought him home. Do you think he’s a prodigal healer or something?” Travis taunted.
Esme scoffed. “The fact is in front of your eyes. Dr. Wilder’s pill stabilized my dad’s condition. Isn’t he a prodigal healer?” Travis smirked in disdain. “Dr. Monas was the first to perform the acupuncture. Who knows? Maybe Dr. Monas‘ work came into effect on your dad.” Hearing that, Ezekiel frantically objected, “Mr. Lloyd, my treatment was absolutely useless. It even worsened Mr. Bailey’s condition. I feel so guilty about
Seething, Travis glared at Ezekiel before arguing, “Even if his pill saved the day, it’s not proof of his medical expertise. Who Imows where he sourced his medicine from?”
“Enough!” Esme cut him off. “I have full faith in Dr. Wilder. Stop making a scene!”
Travis nearly exploded in rage. He secretly vowed, “Esme Bailey, I’ll make you regret your words when you end up in my bed!”
Ignoring Travis, Esme said to Sebastian, “Dr. Wilder, please treat my dad’s illness.”
Sebastian wandered to the bed. Bob had fallen asleep once more due to his weakened state. Fortunately, Bob seemed to be doing better after taking the pill. Without further ado, Sebastian unbuttoned Bob’s shirt, laid out the needles, and started performing the Flying Acupuncture on him.
Ezekiel’s eyes widened. With a look of admiration, he focused on the process for fear of missing out on any interesting moments. Despite being a prodigal healer himself, he unfortunately did not master the Flying Acupuncture.
Sebastian inserted nine needles into Bob in one go. Then, he pressed his palm on Bob’s chest and directed his energy into Bob’s body.
Almost immediately, the needles inserted into Bob started shining and pulsating softly. The magical scene left the Baileys looking shocked. This was their first time witnessing anyone performing the Flying Acupuncture.
“Pfft! That’s just a stupid trick!” Travis scorned Sebastian’s treatment despite having no medical knowledge. As a grandmaster, he understood the principle behind the glowing and pulsating needles–they were moving because of the energy, so it wasn’t a miracle.
Soon, Sebastian slowly wrapped up the treatment and removed all the needles from Bob, who remained in a deep sleep.
Seeing that, Travis quickly taunted Sebastian, “You’re pretty good at showing off, eh? But that was of no use. Mr. Bailey is still in a coma!”
Sebastian couldn’t be bothered to explain the effects of the acupuncture. It was at this time Bob slowly opened his eyes.
“Dad is awake.” Everyone gathered around him and expressed concern about his health.
Bob sat up in bed once again. “I feel completely fine.” Next, he got out of bed, which was an exciting development for the Baileys.
Ever since Bob fell ill a year ago, he had been bedridden. They had consulted many renowned doctors from different hospitals, but Bob’s condition only worsened over time. After receiving Sebastian’s treatment, Bob regained consciousness and started walking, which was nothing short of a miracle.
Ezekiel looked excited as he had once again witnessed a miracle produced by the Flying Acupuncture. He might not have mastered the technique yet, but he was happy for the patient.
Travis experienced a mix of disbelief and anger. He had been uneasy about Esme and Sebastian’s physical contact. He grew jealous at the thought of Esme feeling extremely thankful to Sebastian for curing Bob’s illness.
The Baileys surrounded Sebastian to express their gratitude and completely iced out Travis, which only fueled his anger. He stormed out of the Bailey residence without saying goodbye.

After leaving, he made a call. “Tyson, come to the Bailey residence with a few competent warriors. I need you to kill a man!”
He texted Tyson a photo that he had sneakily taken of Sebastian and left the Bailey residence. In his eyes, Sebastian was just a clown. He didn’t take Sebastian seriously, even if Sebastian was a grandmaster.
Despite knowing that Tyson would never miss, killing Sebastian wasn’t enough to assuage Travis. He desperately needed to vent his frustration. Just now, his men had updates on Lillian and Lyra. He agreed with Lillian’s title “the belle of Ravenview“. Apart from Esme, he had not come acros beauty like Lillian. After snooping around, he found out that Lillian was Sebastian’s wife, and the couple was going through a divorce.
His jealousy was soon replaced by a thrill.
vau little asshole. Serves you right for malding me upset! Not only do I want to take your life, but I also want to sleep with your wife! That’ll make you
roll in your grave!” Travis snarled
