The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 417

Chapter 417 Two Figures

Helena, who had been lying still with her eyes shut, suddenly snapped them open. Blood trickled from the corner of her lips.

“Ms. Rickard!” Everyone from Lunshire was horrified.

Aurelia rushed forward in a panic to catch Helena. She saw Helena straining to move her eyes, her pale lips parting slightly as if she wanted to say something.

But before a word came out, Helena passed out again.

The doctors present were astounded.

John was the most accomplished student of Ethan and a towering figure in the global medical community. It was said there were barely any conditions he couldn’t treat.

And judging from his tone just now, he was absolutely confident he could heal Helena.

Hence, the other doctors could understand why Helena had coughed up blood after just one needle.

Even Ellie stood frozen in disbelief.

Her mentor–the man she had admired and respected most–had already been humiliated in the royal palace when Raven accurately predicted the princess’s condition would worsen after his acupuncture. But the same was happening again with Helena.

For the first time, doubt crept into Ellie’s heart, shaking her convictions.

Meanwhile, Aurelia quickly reached behind Helena’s ear to check her temperature.

Confirming that Helena was still breathing, she heaved a sigh of relief.

But in the next moment, she whipped her head around, her face darkening as she glared at John.

“Dr. Kidman, what’s going on? Didn’t you say acupuncture would alleviate Ms. Rickard’s symptoms? Why did she cough up blood?” demanded Aurelia.

John also panicked at the sight of Helena’s worsening condition. Logically, what he had done was only supposed to promote circulation and relieve blockages. At worst, it just wouldn’t help. It shouldn’t have caused Helena to vomit blood. Aurelia’s expression grew graver. “Dr. Kidman, what is the meaning of this? You owe Lunshire an explanation!”

All the other doctors turned to look at John.

None of them had expected someone of his status to mess up.

They couldn’t help but wonder if John was as good as they thought.
