The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill Novel

Chapter 48 "I'm not using hypnotism," Scarlett explained in her reply. "It's more akin to a type of sleep aid. I had him empty his thoughts to relax his mind. However, the nerves in his cerebral cortex are too active, which is a stress response after experiencing severe trauma. If he continues this way, he'll die of depression." Caleb replied, "You're right, but not even medication can control the activity of his nerves in his cerebral cortex.

His body has developed an immunity to the drugs, so nothing is effective on him anymore. "To top it off, he's already depressed. Don't be fooled by his regular appearance-once he spirals, he'll resort to self-harm. Since you're Mr. Becker's apprentice, your acupuncture skills must be extraordinary. He even left his tool kit with you, after all. "I hope that you can continue practicing acupuncture on Mr. Stroud to cure him of his insomnia. I would also like to apologize for my rudeness earlier.

If you're interested in working in the medical field in the future, those of us at Gaztrict-Johnson Hospital will welcome you with open arms." Caleb was nothing if not adept at adapting to the situation at hand. Scarlett narrowed her eyes after reading his message. So he was the owner of Gaztrict-Johnson Hospital, a rival to Josiah's hospital. In her past life, Josiah's medical achievements nearly made his hospital the top hospital in the country.

However, he had been overshadowed by Gaztrict-Johnson Hospital at every turn, resulting in his hospital forever being stuck in second place. To fulfill Josiah's wishes, she had begun her illustrious career as an acupuncturist in his hospital. Those who could not be healed at Gaztrict-Johnson Hospital would miraculously be cured after she treated them. With her help, Josiah's hospital finally took the top spot in the medical field.

Her acupuncture achievements had also boosted his hospital's reputation, pushing it to become the country's top hospital. However, when Lily developed kidney failure after excessive drinking, Josiah had asked Scarlett to donate one of her kidneys to Lily since they were compatible. She had refused with the thought that she wouldn't be able to continue working at Josiah's hospital if she were missing a kidney. How could she help him maintain his spot at the top of the medical field then?

Scarlett never would have imagined that Josiah would lie her on the operating table after she collapsed from exhaustion one night after working overtime for an entire week. She had been shocked awake when he switched on the blinding lights. Josiah had been dressed in scrubs, and he was holding a needle, clearly prepared to inject the anesthetic into her veins. Terrified, Scarlett had tried to struggle against him, only to realize that she had been tied to the table.

"Don't be scared." Josiah had tried to reassure her. "I won't let you feel any pain. Everything will pass soon." Scarlett had been infuriated. She roared, "I didn't agree! I didn't sign my name on the organ donor form! What you're doing now is against the law, Josiah!" "Lily will be in a lot of pain without this kidney," was Josiah's reply. "Besides, you're only losing one. I'll make it up to you." Scarlett eventually lost consciousness after the chilly liquid was injected into her veins.

When she finally woke up, not only had she lost a kidney, but she had also suffered a decline in most of her bodily functions. Her so-called family hadn't shown her even a hint of concern after the operation. They were too busy orbiting happily around Lily, even though only a single wall separated Scarlett and her. Josiah's promise to make it up to her came in the form of a small promotion. She had been promoted to the position of a senior physician in the traditional medicine department.

However, Scarlett could no longer perform the duties of her new position. She often felt listless and weak. She developed anemia, which eventually deteriorated into chronic kidney disease. She would often feel like passing out after only sitting for a few moments at her desk. She also no longer had the strength to enter the operating room, and her hands would tremble violently when she held the acupuncture needles.

Scarlett could no longer help Josiah when he needed her, and she could no longer treat any patients for the long term, not when she would collapse before the patients did. As a result, the reputation of Josiah's hospital suffered a huge blow, allowing Gaztrict-Johnson Hospital to reclaim its number one spot in the medical field. Josiah started to treat her with disdain. He thought of her as useless for ruining the hospital's reputation.

He ended up firing her, using the excuse that she needed time to rest to heal her weak body. When Scarlett recalled all the horrible things that had happened to her in her past life, her expression slowly turned icy.
