Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Punishing Serena Sterling Severely
When Serena Sterling finished speaking, the whole audience gasped.
Oh my God, what is Serena Sterling talking about?
Did she just say that she used the Golden Needle technique to save the old lady?
Does she know who she is? She’s just a medical failure who came back from the countryside. How can she shamelessly and brazenly claim that she saved the person?
"Serena Sterling, do you know what you’re talking about?" Lillian Sterling was the first to react, jumping out immediately.
Gregory Sterling also recovered from his shock. Today, Serena Sterling was too calm; it turned out she was waiting to make a shocking statement during the television interview. She’s really ruthless!
"Serena Sterling, I know you’ve always resented me, resented Yasmine, resented the whole Sterling family, but how can you make such a shameless claim? You always like to snatch things from Yasmine. Now that Yasmine has saved someone with the Golden Needle technique, you still claim credit. You say it was you who saved her; do you think anyone believes that?"
Sure enough, the host and crew all began to criticize Serena Sterling,
Serena Sterling, so this was your intention for joining the interview. If you really know the Golden Needle technique, I’ll write my name backward!
Yasmine is a top student from The St. Lyra Academy; she’s surely capable of using the Golden Needle technique. But you, a country bumpkin who just graduated high school, where did you learn it?
Serena Sterling, you’re done for. You’ve made this a big deal today; this is a live broadcast, over eighty million people are watching, and now the entire internet is scolding you!
No one believed Serena Sterling, and she wasn’t surprised. Her bright eyes shimmered with a faint smile, "What’s true can’t be false, and what’s false can’t be true. I said I saved the old lady, and that means it was me."
As she spoke, Serena Sterling glanced at Yasmine Sterling.
Yasmine Sterling felt a sudden pang of worry. Serena Sterling’s confident demeanor was full of assurance, making her almost doubt whether it was actually Serena who saved the person.
But Yasmine quickly returned to her senses. How could it be Serena, who’s nothing but a medical failure?
Seeing everyone condemning Serena now, Yasmine was actually happy. She thought Serena was really foolish, humiliating herself during the live broadcast.
"Hey, Serena," Yasmine quickly put on a saddened look, "Why are you saying such things, stop lying, clearly it was me who saved the person."
Just then, someone burst in, "It’s bad! Old Mrs. Rathborne in the ICU has relapsed; her heart rate is dropping fast, she’s about to go into shock. Yasmine, Director Pace wants you in the ICU immediately to use the Golden Needle technique on Old Mrs. Rathborne!"
Yasmine’s eyes lit up, feeling the heavens were on her side. Now she was going to showcase her skills, "Serena, you say it wasn’t me who saved her, now come with me to the ICU and watch how I use the Golden Needle technique to save the old lady again!"
...
In the ICU, Old Mrs. Rathborne was still unconscious, yet to wake up. Now, the heart monitor beside her was emitting a piercing "ding" sound. Old Mrs. Rathborne’s condition was critical; she was about to go into shock.
Piper Pace quickly looked at Yasmine, "Yasmine, you’re here. Old Mrs. Rathborne’s condition is very bad, quickly use the Golden Needle technique on her."
Lillian Sterling chimed in, sounding very wronged, "Director Pace, you don’t know what happened earlier in the studio. Serena Sterling actually accused Yasmine, saying she was the one who saved the old lady. Now, if you want my Yasmine to save her with the Golden Needle technique, that’s fine, but Director Pace must clear Yasmine’s name and severely punish Serena Sterling!"
What?
Upon hearing that Serena was causing trouble again, Director Pace’s expression turned foul. She sternly looked at Serena, "Serena Sterling, what’s going on? Why are you claiming you’re the one who saved her? After saving the lady, I’m definitely going to punish you properly!"
Yasmine smirked, "Director Pace, let’s not worry about that now. Saving her is crucial. I’ll use the Golden Needle technique on the old lady now."
With that, Yasmine took out a golden needle, looking at Serena, "Serena, watch closely."
Yasmine inserted the needle into the old lady’s acupoint.
Serena Sterling stood by, watching. Her clear-cut eyes showed slight surprise, she hadn’t expected Yasmine to really know the Golden Needle technique.
Leah Thorne once doubted, saying that ever since Serena went back to the countryside, Yasmine’s medical skills had seemed to skyrocket dramatically.
Serena’s delicate brows knitted tightly, Yasmine’s needle technique was exactly like the one her mom used!
How did Yasmine learn her mom’s needle technique?
With Yasmine’s insertion of the needle, Old Mrs. Rathborne’s heart rate quickly stabilized. Though still low, it was already astonishing.
Even Piper Pace had never seen such an ancient needle technique. She praised, "Yasmine, your needle technique is exquisite. Probably no one in this entire institution can match you."
Upon receiving such high praise, Lillian Sterling immediately displayed a proud expression. Yasmine prepared for the second needle, not forgetting to glance at Serena, "Serena, this is the Golden Needle technique, how is it? Isn’t it amazing?"
Serena looked at Yasmine and directly asked, "Yasmine, who taught you the Golden Needle technique, why is it identical to my mom’s?"
Yasmine was taken aback. Her technique was learned from the first volume of the medical scripture left by Serena’s mom, Seraphina Linden. It was more than enough to impress. Today, eager to show off, she inadvertently exposed herself in front of Serena.
Serena precisely captured that moment of panic on Yasmine’s face, almost certain that Yasmine must have obtained some medical scripture left by her mom!
"Yasmine, my mom’s needle technique is naturally exceptional, but unfortunately, my mom was a medical master. Her needle techniques are profound and intricate, and you’ve been obsessed with them since childhood, yet you forgot to lay your own foundation. Such needle techniques would have an explosive impact with an adept, but for you, the essence is wasted. You’ve only grasped the form of my mom’s technique without comprehending the essence, like you just did with that needle, which was already misplaced."
What?
Did she insert the needle incorrectly?
"Serena Sterling, don’t fearmonger here. Director Pace, I think Serena does it deliberately; she wants to disrupt Yasmine’s needlework." Lillian Sterling said.
Piper Pace immediately reprimanded, "Serena Sterling, please be quiet, or else you’ll be escorted out right now."
Serena shrugged her shoulders, fine, she would remain silent.
Yasmine indeed got rattled by Serena, so when she picked up the second needle to insert into the old lady’s acupoint, she was more cautious. Soon, the piercing "ding" of the heart monitor disappeared. Old Mrs. Rathborne took a deep breath, her heart rate returned to normal.
Old Mrs. Rathborne was saved!
She succeeded!
Lillian Sterling immediately looked at Serena, "Serena Sterling, sorry to disappoint you. My Yasmine successfully saved the old lady with the Golden Needle technique once again."
"Serena, do you have anything else to say?" Yasmine raised her eyebrows.
Serena gently shook her head, "Remember what I’m saying now, in two days, the old lady will be on the brink of death!"
