09 – Brothers to enemies

"System, I wish for you to make me nervous and restless."

[Ding! Wish successful]

Suddenly, Rowan felt different.

Even the slightest breeze blowing across his skin made him irritated.

Inside the ward.

Daniel took out a long and thick silver needle from the box and put it on the flame to sterilize it.

"Brother, please bear with me for a while, you'll before in no time."

Linden had a restless face as he asked, "Brother, isn't this needle a little too big? Can't you change it to a smaller and slimmer one?"

"Hey, are you really asking me that?" Daniel said helplessly, "Did you forget, your skin is too hard. All the silver needles from yesterday were broken. We have to try this now. Hopefully, this will do the magic."

Linden thought about it and realized that what Daniel said made sense.

"Brother, just take a deep breath and relax."

"Don't worry, Brother, I'm relaxed."

Both of them were ready to start the process of Linden's healing.

Daniel took the large silver needle that had been sterilized and walked over to Linden, pressing his chest lightly with one hand.

After finding the exact position, he took a deep breath, grabbed the big silver needle and stabbed hard on the spot.

This time it went very well!

'That was…surprisingly smooth.'

Daniel saw the silver needle get inserted into Linden's chest like a knife. It went in a little too deep before Daniel could stop himself. At least seven to eight centimeters in.

'It almost went through his chest.'

At this moment, Linden was already very nervous, his heart was beating too fast and the intense stinging pain hurt his whole body.

Linden's eyes widened as he howled loudly in the room.

"WHAT THE FUCK!!!"

The loud and miserable yell could be heard in any corner of the hospital.

Daniel panicked, "Good brother, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me like that."

'I have never seen anything like this in my years of practice. To save him–'

Just as Daniel was about to proceed and take further action, he heard a loud bang behind him.

When he turned, he saw Rowan, followed by doctors and nurses barging into the room.

The doctor yelled, "Who are you? What are you doing in this hospital?"

Daniel panicked even more and said, "I am... I am saving patients..."

"Saving people?" The doctor rushed over to Linden and observed the needle, "You used such a thick and long needle to stab a patient's chests, causing them to scream so painfully, but you say that you were saving him? Do you think we are stupid? You are clearly killing our patient."

Daniel was so scared that his heart felt like it leapt into his mouth, "No, it's a misunderstanding... I didn't try to kill him... I am his brother, how could I kill him? I am trying to save him... I am really saving him... …"

The doctor scolded, "Do you save people like this? Stop talking nonsense, go and explain this to the police! Nurse, hurry up and call the police. Also call the security, tell them to confine the murderer until the police arrive and don't let him run away."

"Yes, Doctor." A nurse ran out of the room.

"Don't go, please! I really didn't try to kill anyone..."

Rowan bravely stood in front of the suspect, Daniel and said, "Dr. Simmons, I advise you not to move, let alone make unnecessary struggles of trying to prove yourself innocent. If you still don't stop, I'll need to take some action."

Looking at the vigilant male doctor, Daniel squatted down in annoyance.

Because of the attempted murder case at a hospital, the police rushed over quickly and brought the suspect, Daniel Simmons under control.

As a witness of the case, Rowan cooperated with the police and made a statement.

"Mr Mills, that's all for today. We hope you can cooperate in the future too for this case."

Rowan was righteous as he said, "Of course, officer. It is us citizens' duty to cooperate with the police. If you need anything, feel free to call me."

"Thank you very much, Mr Mills. The police really likes moral citizens like you!"

After recording the statement, Rowan returned to the room Linden was in and asked with concern, "Doctor, how is my friend?"

The doctor said solemnly, "Mr Mills, your friend is quite lucky. The needle went in too deep and it was really tough for us but we managed to save him. Since the needle was quite close to the heart, it's still a little risky and it's better not to let his heart rate increase. Although he is better, he still needs rest."

Then, Rowan said sincerely, "Doctor, you are right, he is still in a serious condition. You need to stay in the hospital for observation, no matter how much it costs, please look after him."

"You, a person who doesn't even know him, cares so much about the patient. They are brothers, but one is so vicious. I still can't figure out why?" The doctor sighed.

"I can't figure out either. I can only say that human nature is complicated!" Rowan also shook his head, sighing along with the doctor..

"Human nature is really complicated sometimes, it's very dark. Forget it, let's not talk about it, it's too sad to talk about it."

Then, the doctor talked with Rowan a little more before leaving the room.

Rowan lowered his head, looked at the glaring protagonist and solemnly promised word by word, "Buddy, don't worry, I will help you to pursue justice, I will never let the murderer... go unpunished."

Linden raised his hand with difficulty and squeaked out the words, "Let... let go of my brother!"

Rowan frowned, "Buddy, even now, you still care so much about your brother? You treat him as your brother, but he just wanted to kill you. Hah, forget it, don't talk much, just rest well. I'll come back some other day."

Rowan turned around after patting Linden's head.

As Rowan left the room, Linden closed his eyes in despair.
