At this moment, the pharmacists were even more disdainful. They thought Evan was just putting on a show, because they had never seen anyone save a life like this. In their own opinion, even if their medical skills weren’t top-notch, at the very least they were knowledgeable and would never overlook any medical method.
They were certain that Evan’s efforts were futile. They were waiting to watch the spectacle, hoping to see Evan get struck down by the Second Madam.
But then, something happened that surprised them, surprised everyone, delighted some, and left others in disbelief—
“Cough, cough…”
Mr. Miller, who had already stopped breathing, suddenly started coughing!!
He actually came back to life!!
What… what on earth is going on?
This low-ranking servant didn’t use any medicine, nor did he use acupuncture—he just pressed a few times on the chest, and managed to save a life?
“Hurry, help him circulate his energy to heal!”
While everyone was still in shock, Evan didn’t bask in their gazes, but immediately instructed someone to help Mr. Miller circulate his energy—a basic skill that anyone with internal strength would know.
At the same time, Evan thought to himself, Martial artists really do have extraordinary constitutions. Even after being struck by lightning like this, he could still survive. Maybe the ancient tales of cutting through lightning aren’t so impossible after all.
Mr. Parker immediately flashed over, placing his hand on Mr. Miller and using his internal energy to heal his precious son!
“Mr. Parker, don’t use your full strength. Twenty percent is enough. I know you’re anxious, but sometimes haste is useless—you have to do just the right amount,” Evan reminded him.
Mr. Parker nodded, then followed Evan’s advice and reduced his internal energy to twenty percent…
“Father, Mother…”
Mr. Miller slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, Mr. Parker had already withdrawn his hand, because he could feel that the healing was already complete—any more would be overkill.
“My son!” Mrs. Parker immediately hugged Mr. Miller, her body trembling slightly. The excitement on her face left no doubt about her feelings.
“Mother, what happened? Why am I here?” Mr. Miller asked in confusion, and his tone seemed a bit different from usual.
“You were just struck by lightning, almost died. I was so scared just now…” Mrs. Parker said.
“That’s right, I was just struck by lightning. I really was so foolish before—how could I have done something like that…” Mr. Miller said.
“Yes, you must never do something like that again… Wait…”
As Mrs. Parker nodded in agreement, she suddenly realized her son seemed a bit different. The things he just said didn’t sound like something her foolish son would say—it was as if he were a different person, but the person in front of her was clearly her son.
This was strange. Why was this happening? It felt just like…
Yes, just like—
“My son seems a bit more normal now…” Mr. Parker was also puzzled. The tone and demeanor were just too odd.
“Really, Mr. Miller really does seem different. Could it be that after being struck by lightning, you really do become smarter?”
The onlookers began to chatter, especially after confirming that Mr. Miller had indeed returned to normal, regaining the intelligence of an ordinary person. The discussion became even more lively.
“This is wonderful! My son has become smarter!!” Mrs. Parker hugged Mr. Miller, her excitement even greater than when Mr. Miller had just come back to life.
If a certain someone were present, they would surely mutter, “Could it be that having a smarter son is more important than him being alive?”
At the same time, they might also wonder, “Maybe the books are right—getting struck by lightning really does make you smarter? Should I try it next time…”
“Looks like we have to thank Evan this time. If it weren’t for him, Mo’er wouldn’t have survived. And if it weren’t for him, Mo’er wouldn’t have been struck by lightning either, though that was just an accident… Evan, you deserve a reward for this… Huh, where’s Evan?” Mr. Parker was just about to reward Evan when he suddenly realized Evan was nowhere to be seen.
“Reporting to Mr. Parker, Evan left while you were helping Mr. Miller circulate his energy. He said he still had unfinished work,” someone below replied.
Those familiar with Evan couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful. Such a good chance to claim credit, and he just left. But they also knew that this was just how Evan was—he never fought for credit, never boasted, just quietly did his work.
That’s what everyone liked about Evan—whatever needed to be done, he would do it. Others could slack off and still get credit.
“Oh, then we’ll talk about it later…” Mr. Parker didn’t mind. After all, his son was the most important thing right now. As for a low-ranking servant, he didn’t care at all.
Maybe because of this, the matter seemed to settle down just like that. In the end, Evan never received Mr. Parker’s reward and continued being a low-ranking servant.
Actually, this kind of thing had happened several times before. Evan was always absent when he should have been present, always quietly working in various places in the Mo family.
However, this time, even though Evan kept a low profile, he still made a splash—after all, Mr. Miller suddenly becoming smarter was bound to cause a stir throughout the entire Mo family, and even all of Qingyun City.
