chapter 12 Yama Needle

"Dad, are you really..." Benjamin Duan's words made Xandra Ning tremble. Although Benjamin Duan had cured her, and she was grateful to him, but that didn't mean she had to marry him. "That's right, Xandra, I've agreed to Benjamin Duan's marriage proposal. He said he'd marry you even if he hadn't cured your eyes. Now that you can see, you can't be ungrateful!" Jayden Ning said. "But..." "But what? I know you're still thinking about Aiden Ye. What's so good about him? He's just a live-in son-in-law, and he's donated his kidney. Can he really make you happy? Listen to your mom; I've been through this. Marrying a useless man will only bring you misery," Wendy Chen said sternly. That's when Aiden Ye finally walked into the room. "Aiden Ye!" Xandra Ning's face lit up with joy when she saw him. After three years, she finally saw Aiden Ye again. "Who let you in here!" Jayden Ning's face turned ugly as he spoke to Aiden Ye, "Aiden Ye, haven't you seen? My daughter's eyes are cured, and I've decided to marry her to Benjamin Duan. Don't come here to ruin Xandra's happiness!" "Get out!" Wendy Chen tried to push Aiden Ye out, but she couldn't budge him. "No, he hasn't cured Sister Xandra!" Aiden Ye said with a heavy voice. "Don't talk nonsense; Xandra can see now!" Wendy Chen frowned. "Aiden Ye, Xandra liked you so much back then, but you chose Elsa Shen and even donated your kidney to her. Now that she's marrying someone else, you want to come back to Xandra? Do you think she would agree to you?" Benjamin Duan sneered. Benjamin Duan had once pursued Xandra Ning. After Xandra Ning went blind, he disappeared. During these three years, he went abroad and learned a unique medical technique. Because the Shen and Xu families had blocked the news, Benjamin Duan only knew that Elsa Shen had remarried but did not know that Aiden Ye had shown up at the wedding and taken Elsa Shen's kidney. "Xandra, marry me. Let me take care of you for the rest of our lives," Benjamin Duan kneeled in front of Xandra Ning and took out a diamond ring. He was ready to seize the moment and win Xandra Ning over. "Xandra, what are you waiting for? Say yes. Benjamin Duan went abroad for three years to find a cure for your eyes, and now he has cured you. Why are you hesitating?" Jayden Ning urged. After all, even if Benjamin Duan was worse, he was still ten times better than Aiden Ye. Moreover, to cure Xandra Ning's eyes, Benjamin Duan had actually gone looking for a doctor abroad for three years. This was definitely true love. "Yes, Xandra, you're not getting any younger. It's time to settle down," Wendy Chen also said. "Mom, Dad, but the one I like is Aiden Ye..." Xandra Ning said, biting her lip. "Do you want him to bring more misery to our family? If you choose Aiden Ye, I'd rather you were still blind!" Jayden Ning was very angry, and he made a move as if to gouge out Xandra Ning's eyes. Of course, he was just trying to scare Xandra Ning; he wouldn't really do such a thing. "Ah! My eyes hurt so much!" Xandra Ning cried out in pain. Suddenly, blood started flowing from her eyes. "Jayden Ning, have you lost your mind!" Wendy Chen was horrified and started beating Jayden Ning. Jayden Ning was stunned, "I... I was just trying to scare Xandra, and I didn't even touch her eyes!" "Mom, Dad, I... I can't see again!" Xandra Ning was crying with a terrified expression. After all, she had just regained her sight for less than a minute before becoming blind again. This fall from hope to despair was even harder for her to accept. "Jayden Ning, you owe me for my daughter's eyes!" Wendy Chen broke down. "It's not my fault, it's not my fault..." Jayden Ning was dumbfounded. He had only pretended to gouge out Xandra Ning's eyes. How did she end up like this? "It's all over, all over!" Benjamin Duan also looked defeated. He didn't have complete confidence in curing Xandra Ning either. He had acquired a set of miraculous needle techniques that claimed to cure all ailments, but it wasn't complete, and there was only a 10% chance of curing Xandra Ning. Moreover, his method, called the Yama Needle, was quite aggressive. It meant borrowing life from Yama. If the borrowing was successful, the incurable illness would be cured. If it failed, the patient would die! At that moment, besides her eyes, blood started flowing from Xandra Ning's ears, nose, and mouth too. Clearly, the Yama Needle had failed to cure Xandra Ning. "Xandra, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mom!" Wendy Chen held Xandra Ning, who was on the verge of collapsing, her face white with fear. "Aunt Chen, don't panic, I will cure Sister Xandra!" Aiden Ye took out the Nine Turns Golden Needles, ready to treat Xandra Ning. Obviously, Xandra Ning's condition was caused by Benjamin Duan's treatment. Aiden Ye realized when he saw Benjamin Duan's needling technique that he was using a forbidden method. If it didn't work, it would worsen the condition instead of curing it. "Do you even know how to treat her? If you can't, don't mess around. I think we should take Xandra to the hospital!" Jayden Ning grabbed Aiden Ye's hand. After all, in his eyes, Aiden Ye was just a son-in-law who liked to live off a woman, good at washing and cooking but not known for healing. "Trust me, Uncle Ning, the hospital won't be of use in Sister Xandra's current condition. Only I can cure her!" Aiden Ye stated decisively. But Jayden Ning still didn't believe him and firmly refused to let Aiden Ye touch Xandra Ning. "Wait, there's someone who might be able to cure Xandra Ning!" In his desperation, Benjamin Duan suddenly had a spark of hope and made a phone call. "Is that Mr. Du? It's Benjamin Duan. There's been an incident. Could you please come over?" "Aiden Ye, get out! Don't be a nuisance here. Even if Xandra dies, I won't let you treat her!" Jayden Ning kicked Aiden Ye out. About twenty minutes later, an elderly man arrived at the rental house. "Are you Logan Du, Mr. Du?" Jayden Ning's face lit up with joy when he saw Logan Du. Being in the medical field himself, he recognized this giant of the medical community. He had wanted to ask Logan Du to treat Xandra Ning's eyes, but Logan Du's fees were so high he couldn't afford them. He couldn't believe Benjamin Duan had managed to get Logan Du to come. This time, it seemed like a sure thing. Sure enough, after a few needles from Logan Du, Xandra Ning's condition stabilized. "Mr. Du, can you cure my daughter's eyes?" Jayden Ning asked with hope. Logan Du nodded. But he didn't start treating her. "Mr. Du, what do you mean? Are you worried about the money? No matter the cost, we're willing to pay!" Jayden Ning said urgently. "Mr. Du, please treat her. I will cover all the costs," Benjamin Duan added. After a moment's thought, Logan Du finally spoke, "It's not about the money. The one who can cure your daughter isn't me."
