After all, Evan was just a lowly servant. In the Mo family, who would care about someone like him? If it weren’t for the incident with the Third Young Master, most people probably wouldn’t even know he existed.
Chapter 002 Miracle
“It’s all because of you! If you hadn’t said such things, if you hadn’t told him to hold an iron rod up high, how could my son have been struck by lightning!!” The Second Madam angrily pointed at Evan, looking as if she wanted to eat him alive.
“……” Evan looked innocent and helpless. Back then, he had just said it casually, never expecting that the Third Young Master would actually do it—and not just once, but over and over again.
So, he began to pray—
All the gods and buddhas in the heavens, I beg you, don’t let this foolish young master—no, the Third Young Master—die. Otherwise, I’ll be in big trouble!
But...
“Sigh…”
The physician shook his head and let out a sigh. Everyone nearby wore the look of someone facing death. Yes, someone had died!
“Damn it!” Evan cursed under his breath.
“Mo’er!!” The Second Madam cried out in grief. Emily was the Third Young Master—Emily Miller!
“I’ll kill you!!” The Second Master roared, striking his palm toward Evan!
The Mo family was a large clan. Even though they were famous for their craftsmanship, their martial arts skills were not weak. As the Second Master, he was considered a formidable expert on the continent. The force and wind of that palm strike were both impressive.
If that palm landed on Evan, his position as a lowly servant would definitely be replaced. And what ability did Evan, a mere servant, have to dodge such a move?
Theoretically, none. According to what the Mo family knew of him, it was almost impossible.
Evan did know a bit of basic skills, but that was just the basics—something anyone on the continent could practice, something anyone could access. Even a lowly servant could learn it.
Moreover, since he was part of the Mo family, what he learned was even a bit better than others!
However, such skills were still far inferior to the Second Master’s, and could never withstand that furious palm!
“Wait, the Third Young Master can still be saved!!”
Evan shouted these words at lightning speed, afraid that if he was even a second late, the Second Master’s palm would come down—and that was no joke.
Right after Evan shouted, the Second Master’s palm stopped abruptly, as if slamming on the brakes. However, the wind from the strike still messed up Evan’s hair.
At that moment, everyone saw the Second Master’s palm stop just a few centimeters in front of Evan’s nose, and Evan’s face rippled as if blown by a strong wind.
Thank goodness!!
Everyone felt relieved. If that palm had landed, Evan’s head would probably have burst open. Even though Evan was just a lowly servant, everyone actually liked him and didn’t want anything to happen to him.
Yes, because this servant was very useful—it would be a pity to lose him!
“He can still be saved?”
The Second Master asked hesitantly. Normally, he would never believe the words of a lowly servant like Evan, but at this moment, even if he knew it was just a straw to clutch at, he would still grab it.
“Impossible. The Third Young Master has already stopped breathing. There’s no way he can be saved, unless you have some kind of resurrection pill!” The physician shook his head, strongly refuting what Evan said.
Besides being certain that the Third Young Master had stopped breathing and was beyond saving, there was another important reason: if Evan could save the Third Young Master, wouldn’t that mean they were incompetent?
And, this person was just a lowly servant—how could they save face!
“Or do you have the medical skills to bring someone back from the dead?”
The physician looked at Evan with contempt. He felt he was overthinking it. How could a lowly servant like this possibly have such abilities? If he did, why would he still be a servant?
“I don’t, but I know one thing: if I don’t try, the Third Young Master will definitely die. Also, if I don’t try right now, he’ll definitely die!” Evan said calmly, as if unconcerned about his own situation.
“If you can’t, then don’t—” The physician was about to speak when he was interrupted by someone he dared not offend—one of his benefactors, the Mo family’s Second Madam.
“Enough nonsense. Since you can’t save him, let him try! Evan, I’m warning you: if anything happens to the Third Young Master, you’ll be buried with him.” The Second Madam said coldly.
“……” Evan muttered, “Why don’t you all have the surname Lai? This has nothing to do with me… Oh, right…”
“Um, Second Master, Second Madam, if I manage to revive the Third Young Master, and he gets struck by lightning again in the future, don’t blame me…” As Evan spoke, he began, under everyone’s watchful eyes, to perform a movement—pressing on the chest.
It looked just like chest compressions!
“……”
The Second Madam had no time to talk to Evan now; she just stared nervously. If the Third Young Master’s life wasn’t hanging by a thread, she would have struck Evan herself for even suggesting there might be a next time.
Hmph, what’s the use of this? Who knows what he’s even doing!
