Chapter 54 Putting His Life In Danger

His pulse was irregular, indicating that Max had been poisoned.

Currently, there was more than a type of toxin in his body.

The toxins gathered in the old man’s body were invading his internal organs, causing him to slip into acoma.

The more Natalie dwelled on it, the more terrified she felt. The presence of different toxins means thatmore than one person has poisoned Old Mr. Watsons. How could they do that to the head of theirfamily? The Watsons family is full of wolves! That’s why there are different toxins in Old Mr. Watson’sbody. If Mr. Jones had not asked me to come over and check on Old Mr. Watsons, I’m afraid he wouldhave only another two weeks to live.

Natalie quickly took out a set of acupuncture needles from her bag.

She lifted the shirt on Max and inserted the needles at different acupuncture points on his body.

At that moment, her priority was to flush out the toxins in Max’s body.

He could only recover completely after the detoxification process.

Just when Natalie was about to insert the last needle at the acupuncture point between Max’s eyes,someone forcefully gripped her arm and stopped her.

The person was holding onto her arm so firmly that she could not move her hand at all.

“Who are you? What are you doing to my grandpa?”

Natalie glanced at her arm that was being clutched before shifting her gaze to the person who stoppedher.

The man was wearing a white shirt and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

Although he was not as mesmerizing as Samuel, his facial features were exquisite as well. The man infront of her was undoubtedly handsome and attractive.

However, Natalie was not distracted by his good looks. The most important task for her to do at themoment was to save Max.

She spoke. “I’m a doctor. I’m here to save him.”

“That’s not necessarily true,” Shawn said coldly, having no intention of loosening his grip.

“Not necessarily true?” She narrowed her eyes and glared at him. “Listen. Your grandfather isterminally ill. If I don’t do something now, he will die for sure.”

“Why should I trust you? I’ll tear you into pieces if anything happens to Grandpa.”

“I don’t want to waste my time talking to you. Let go of me!”

“No.”

Natalie tried to break free of his grip, but there was no way she could do so.

Knowing that her efforts were going to go down the drain at the last minute, she became increasinglyfrustrated.

She glared at him as she explained, “Do you know how many types of toxins are there in yourgrandfather’s body? Four! That means at least four people poisoned him. Can you guarantee that thedoctor who’s treating your grandfather now is not working for the people who poisoned him? If I were

here to take Old Mr. Watsons’ life, I wouldn’t have performed acupuncture. I can save my time by juststabbing him with a knife.”

Shawn was at a loss for words upon hearing that.

His gaze fell upon the woman who appeared in his grandfather’s room all of a sudden.

She had a low nose bridge and thick lips, and her face was full of freckles. However, her eyes werebright and captivating.

With her determined gaze, she seemed as steady as a rock.

The relationship among the members of the Watsons family had always been complicated. Growing upin such a family, Shawn was used to seeing people playing tricks on somebody else, so he did not trustother people easily. However, the moment he looked into the eyes of the mysterious woman in front ofhim, strangely, he wanted to believe her.

After a moment, he asked, “Can I trust you?”

“Do you have a better way?” Natalie gritted her teeth. “Your grandfather’s life is at stake. I am notjoking.”

Shawn loosened his grip slowly and let go of her hand. With that, she quickly picked up the crystalneedle and inserted it at the acupuncture point between Max’s eyes.

Natalie felt relieved after inserting the last needle.

She then put her fingers on Max’s wrist, feeling the changes in his pulse.

Just then, a series of footsteps sounded outside the bedroom. Once the bedroom door was opened, agroup of well-dressed people forced their way in.

With a cigar in his mouth, a man with slicked-back hair glared at Natalie coldly. “Who is this woman?Why is she here?” he questioned.
