Chapter 350
Saying that she was injured was an understatement. Hilda had actually been stabbed by her ex-husband.
The knife happened to damage her heart. She had undergone emergency treatment for several days and barely survived. Right then, however, the wound was too serious. Hilda was hanging on a thread. It was likely that she wouldn't make it through the night. Lucille nodded. She had a rough idea of what was going on.
Master Walton took her into the hospital and went straight to the intensive care unit where Hilda was.
At the door of the ICU, Hilda's parents were standing there with her daughter. They were all crying.
It wasn't until Master Walton came that Hilda's parents wiped their tears and asked expectantly, "Master Walton, when is that mentor of yours coming? Can my daughter be saved?"
Master Walton pointed to Lucille beside him and said confidently, "This is my mentor!"
The two seniors looked at each other and said with a bitter smile, "Master Walton, this isn't the time to be joking. This little girl is young enough to be your granddaughter. How could she be your mentor..."
"Huh? You can't just say that. She's my mentor. What does it matter if she's young? You only need to know one thing. If my mentor can't save your daughter, then it's impossible to save her." Master Walton patted his chest with a serious look
"Um...
." Hilda's parents looked at each other. It was obvious that they still did not believe it.
Hilda's daughter, Evelyn, ran to Lucille and cried. "You saved me before. Please save my mother again this time, okay? Please."
Lucille bent down to wipe the tears of the girl in front of her, who was four or five years old. She whispered, "Your name is Evelyn, right?"
"Yes!" The little girl nodded and kept sobbing.
"Your mother will be fine."
Lucille patted Evelyn's head. She then stood up and said to Master Walton, "Have the negotiations with the hospital been settled?"
Her words showed that she was confident.
Master Walton's eyes lit up and he replied, "Everything has been settled. As long as Hilda's family members give their signatures, we can go in and give Hilda treatment." "That's good."
Lucille turned around and looked at the two white-haired people. She saw their hands trembling as they held their pens. They did not sign their names for a long time.
Lucille knew that it was because she looked too young and immature. It wasn't enough to convince people of her medical skills.
Of course, she would not interfere with their decision.
Master Walton was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but urge, "Time waits for no one. Hilda's situation is very risky. If we delay any longer, even God might not be able to save her!" Hilda's parents' hands were trembling, and their tears kept falling.
They were just worried that they would never see their daughter again after they gave their signatures...
"Grandpa, Grandma."
Evelyn raised her head and spoke. Her voice was crisp but firm. "This girl was the one who cured me of my illness. My mother said that this sister is someone I'm indebted to. In fact, the whole family is indebted to her. Just now, she told me that Mom would be fine, so that will definitely come true!"

With tears in their eyes, Hilda's parents finally signed the contract.
Master Walton immediately handed over the signature to the hospital. From that moment on, Hilda's condition had nothing to do with the hospital. He and Lucille were in charge of Hilda's situation.
Lucille and Master Walton entered the ICU.
Hilda's condition was not very good. She was unconscious and her face was pale. At that moment, she was only able to breathe with the help of different machines. Lucille took her pulse and muttered, "Pressure has been put on her heart and lungs because of the backflow of blood. There's not much time left. Open the tool bag.
"Okay!"
Master Walton immediately opened the bag of tools. The tools of various sizes looked a little cold under the light.
Lucille's sharp eyes noticed that there was still half of a herb left in Master Walton's first-aid kit. She ordered, "Take a bit of that herb and put it in Hilda's mouth."
Barely Noticeable
Barely Noticeable
"Okay!" Master Walton did as he was told. His herb wasn't premium or anything. It wasn't like he was reluctant to use it. He was just afraid that it wouldn't be effective, which was why he didn't take it out in the first place.
Lucille began to treat Hilda.
In Hilda's current situation, the backflow of her blood had caused her heart and lungs to squeeze against each other, and the situation was very tricky. However, what was even more deadly was that there was some internal bleeding in her chest. It was barely noticeable, which was why nobody had noticed it.
That was the real culprit behind her serious injury.
As Lucille raised her hand, she started the treatment.
Outside the intensive care room, Hilda's parents covered their mouths. They couldn't bear to look through the glass door, and tears fell down from their eyes.
No one noticed that two men were sneakily spying on them.
They were none other than the two men who had followed Lucille many times in that black car.
When they saw Lucille enter the ICU, they immediately called Fiona.
Indeed. They had been following Lucille on Fiona's instructions.
Soon, the call was picked up.
The man lowered his voice and whispered, "Miss Melling, I see Lucille treating the patient, and I've already taken photos and collected evidence. I'm certain that she's the one performing the treatment. Master Walton is just her assistant." "Got it. You don't have to follow her anymore. Come back."
Fiona hung up the phone.
Very good. She had finally seized an opportunity.
Fiona picked up the cup of coffee beside her and took a sip gracefully. Her lips curled into a smile as if she was full of determination.
How dare Lucille treat people without the proper certification?
That was illegal in Shein City.
Fiona stood up. She stepped up in her high heels and arrogantly ordered, "Bring everyone and follow me!"
Meanwhile, in the hospital...
After half an hour of continuous treatment, Lucille's hands started to ache. Finally, she saw traces of blood seeping out from Hilda's nostrils.
That was a good sign. The blood that had been absorbed into her heart and lungs was being extracted.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Watching from the side, Master Walton couldn't help smacking his lips. He desperately wanted to grab a notebook and hurriedly note down all of Lucille's techniques.
Lucille ordered, "You can remove the tools."
"Okay!"
Master Walton did as he was told.
Soon, Hilda's condition was pretty much under control. Without the infection caused by the internal bleeding, the blood all over her body recovered, and it wouldn't pose much danger to her life.
Lucille took all the tools away and finally said, "She's fine now."
Although Hilda had not woken up yet, Hilda could now leave the intensive care unit and stay in an ordinary ward.
When Hilda was pushed out from the inside, her parents, Annie and Owen Sanders, burst into tears and shouted repeatedly, "My daughter, my poor daughter..." Master Walton had to explain, "You guys are crying over nothing. Hilda is fine. She is out of danger." "Huh?" Owen and Annie wiped away their tears and asked in astonishment, "Her oxygen tube has been removed. Doesn't that mean she can't be saved?"
"That's because the foreign matter in her heart and lungs has been expelled. She can breathe on her own. Of course, she doesn't need an oxygen tube!" Master Walton was dumbfounded Finally, Owen and Annie understood what was going on.
Knowing that Hilda had been rescued, the two of them bent down and were about to get on their knees. Master Walton helped her up and said with a smile, "Okay, that's enough. Let's get her to the ward first, and then we can talk about the rest later." Evelyn grinned and began dancing with joy.
The joy of surviving a disaster enveloped the whole family.
The atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious for a while.
It was at that mornent that Fiona arrived with her men. WON ONL

Just as She Walked Out
"Lucille, you don't have a medical license yet you gave a patient unauthorized treatment. According to the law of Shein City, I'm going to put you under arrest!" Lucille washed her hands. Just as she walked out of the sterilization room, she saw the arrogant Fiona standing in front of her and taunting her.
Master Walton was stunned and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. "Miss Melling, did you make a mistake? Earlier, it was just me and my mentor. I have a medical license. There's nothing wrong with that!"
"Is that so?" Fiona sneered and raised her phone.
The screen on the phone showed that Lucille was the one who was performing the treatment. It meant that Master Walton was just her assistant. Even if he had a license, he could not clear Lucille of her crime. Master Walton naturally understood that, but he still wanted to reason with Fiona.
"Miss Melling, you have to be reasonable. Earlier, the patient was in critical condition. Should my mentor have just watched from the sidelines instead? There was a clear priority. We had to make a decision based on the situation at hand!" he protested. "Your mentor? How can a person without a medical license be your mentor?"
Fiona stroked the hair that had fallen down from behind her ear and said casually, "I didn't expect that Master Walton, who has such a high reputation, would humble himself to be the disciple of a young girl. What a joke!"
Master Walton choked. He immediately retorted, "I'm telling the truth! A medical license isn't enough to prove my mentor's skills. Besides, we've already saved the patient. If you don't believe me, you can ask the patient's family!"
"Yes, that's right." Owen and Annie immediately stepped forward and said, "My daughter's heartbeat is normal now. Her breathing is normal, and even her face looks much better. I think she'll wake up soon. Miss Jules did save my daughter, and our family is heavily indebted to her."
That statement could not prove anything, however.
Fiona had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. How could she let go of Lucille with just a few words?
It was impossible!
Fiona raised her hand and ordered the men behind her, "Take them away!"
Seeing a group of people surrounding Lucille, Master Walton was furious and shouted, "Miss Melling, what right do you have to arrest my mentor?"
"My father is the supervisor of Shein City. I'm the next in line. What right do you think I have?" Fiona replied with a faint smile.
In Shein City, a supervisor's position was simply indescribable. They had the responsibility of supervision, which meant that everything in the city, no matter big or small, was under the supervisor's control.
That was why Fiona had dared to do such a thing.
Unless there was a higher rank than the supervisor, the Melling family would naturally be in charge of the city.
Master Walton was so furious that his face turned livid. He wished he could beat those people out.
Lucille scratched her ears. She finally understood what was going on. So, Fiona had brought people to capture her because she didn't have a medical license?
It was so obvious that she was trying to get revenge.
Lucille looked up at the arrogant Fiona and asked, "So, Miss Melling, are you saying that as long as I have a medical license, I won't be charged with any crime?" "Yes, but unfortunately, you don't." Fiona shot her subordinates a look and ordered, "What are you waiting for? Catch that criminal!"
She deliberately emphasized the word "criminal".
Her men responded and were about to rush forward to push Lucille down.
Right before they could do so, Lucille suddenly stated, "Just a medical license? That's not a big deal. Give me a moment. I'll go get it."
She had a medical license?
Fiona gaped in shock, and her eyes went wide.
