Chapter 21 One-Eighty

• Half an hour later, Brayden, Felix, and Emily arrived at the hospital, and Felix was immediately taken to the operating room, where Brayden himself was ready to set his bones. However, Felix refused, only asking Brayden to fetch some silver needles. Brayden suddenly remembered that Felix possessed the Spectral Citadel's Thirteen Needles of Healing, so setting broken bones would not be difficult.
• Soon, Brayden found a set of silver needles for Felix. Since most of the broken bones were in his back, Felix couldn't do it himself. He directed Brayden in administering the needles. Initially nervous, Brayden became more adept with Felix's guidance, deepening his understanding of acupuncture and increasing his respect for Felix, who was clearly using this opportunity to teach him.
• An hour later, Felix's injuries were much improved, and Felix dispatched Brayden to collect medicinal herbs from his uncle's place. That morning, all the medicine Felix had prepared for Alex had fallen into the water.
