Chapter 350: Chapter 350 Treatment_1

Bradley Ford’s condition was quite severe, directly taking qi and blood elixir could have led to even more serious problems such as cerebral hemorrhage, or even death.

Therefore, Greg Jensen could only first use the silver needle to help him sort out his meridians, and then use True Qi to help him dissolve the medicinal power of the qi and blood elixir, so as to nourish his body.

Moreover, this acupuncture treatment was different from the past; besides Crossing the Catastrophe with Thirteen Needles, it also required the Wood Attribute Rejuvenating Acupuncture Method, which was very taxing on the mind.

More than twenty silver needles were inserted into Bradley Ford’s back in succession, and by this time, Greg Jensen was sweating on his forehead, with his complexion turning somewhat pale.

A moment later, he let out a long sigh and then activated his True Qi, quickly flicking over the ends of the needles with his right hand.

Hum!

More than twenty silver needles let out a low hum and then began to tremble.

Bradley Ford had already fallen into a deep sleep, and his back was blushing a deep shade of red.

Immediately after, the redness spread, extending from his back to his shoulders, neck, and arms, as his pale skin visibly regained its rosy color at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Hmm…”

Bradley Ford slowly opened his eyes, confusedly asking, “Did I fall asleep?”

Seeing this, Patrick Ford hastily inquired, “Dad, how do you feel?”

Bradley Ford pondered for a moment and smiled, “Quite comfortable, it’s like soaking in a bath.”

“Oh, that’s good.”

Patrick Ford let out a sigh of relief and smiled at Greg Jensen.

Greg Jensen smiled and said, “Okay, you rest for a while now, take the medicine later, we still need to do another round of acupuncture.”

“More acupuncture? I feel like I’m almost all better.”

“There’s still a long way to go.”

Greg Jensen chuckled, helped the old man pull out the silver needles, and then signaled Jaden Ford to bring over the medicine, which he gave to Bradley Ford to drink.

After drinking the medicine, Bradley Ford’s complexion had already become a lot more rosy, but the rosiness was somewhat abnormal, similar to that of someone who was drunk.

Greg Jensen smiled and said, “You should lie down and rest now, take a good sleep, and you’ll be fine when you wake up.”

“Alright, I’ll take a nap then.”

Bradley Ford smiled, lay down, and in a short while, he actually began to snore.

Somewhat worried, Patrick Ford asked, “Greg, how exactly is my dad’s health?”

“It wasn’t too optimistic before, but don’t worry, after my treatment, it’s not a big problem. However, the subsequent period for taking medicine is going to be a bit long.

It will take about two to three years to completely replenish the qi and blood that the old man has lost.”

“That’s good to hear, that’s good.”

Upon hearing this, Patrick Ford completely relaxed and said to Greg Jensen, “Greg, thank you, you’ve helped our Ford family a great deal again.”

“Haha, no need to thank me, Tracy Miles is my friend, her grandfather is like my own grandfather, it’s all what should be done,” Greg replied with a laugh.

“Okay, then I’ll consider you family from now on. If there’s anything you need, just ask,” said Patrick Ford.

Greg Jensen smiled and nodded, “Alright, I’ll do the acupuncture for the old man first.”

“Okay.”

Greg Jensen sat at the edge of the bed and began the second round of acupuncture for Bradley Ford.

This time it was much simpler, only needing to transmit the True Qi into Bradley Ford’s body through the acupuncture, and then guide the True Qi to dissolve the medicinal power of the qi and blood elixir.

It just took a bit longer, and by the time Greg Jensen was done, it was already past two in the afternoon.

By then, Bradley Ford was sleeping soundly.

His complexion was rosy, his breathing even, and his face even had a faint smile, perhaps he was dreaming something pleasant.

Seeing their father in such good shape nearly brought Patrick Ford and his brother to joyful tears.

Men in the Ford family rarely lived long; Bradley Ford had only lived past sixty because he rarely used feng shui techniques.

They had thought that at his age, he was near the end, but now they were met with an unexpected joy.

According to Greg Jensen, it looked like the old man could live another ten or eight years without any problems.

“Greg, I really don’t know how to thank you enough!” Patrick Ford exclaimed.

“I’ve told you, we’re family!” Greg responded.

Greg glanced at the old man and smiled, “The old gentleman probably needs to sleep for another two or three hours, let’s go eat first.”

“I’ll stay here,” Jaden Ford said.

Right at that moment, Spencer Burley and Adrian Wright knocked on the door and walked in.

Greg smiled, “Perfect, let’s all go have a meal together.”

Spencer Burley also planned to stay, but was sent out by Jaden Ford. With him around, Greg and the Fords would not feel too unfamiliar with each other.

The group had a simple meal at the clubhouse restaurant and naturally talked about the Peach Blossom supermarket that had just confirmed its business location.

Patrick Ford directly said, “Greg, don’t worry about the renovation, our family will take care of it. I’ll call Old Wang later to come and discuss this with you.”

“All right, that’ll be a big help, Uncle.”

“We’re all family, no need to be polite.”

Greg laughed heartily, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony, I’ll toast to you.”

“Let’s drink together.”

The meal was enjoyed by all, and Nicolas Ford, who always took pride in himself, turned red-faced from drinking and began hugging Greg’s shoulders and calling him brother.

Spencer Burley watched from the side, full of grievances.

The drinking seemingly demoted him a generation.

After the meal, Greg took the Ford family back to their guest rooms, where the old man was still sleeping, and Jaden Ford sat beside, watching over him.

“How is it?”

“Grandpa just woke up once. When he found out you all went to eat, he went back to sleep.”

Patrick Ford said with a face full of surprise, “The old man woke up just now?”

“Yes, thanks to Brother Greg.”

Jaden Ford looked at Greg happily and smiled, “Grandpa’s spirit is pretty good, he just felt a little sleepy, so he went back to bed.”

“That’s great.”

“Brother Greg’s medical skills are truly remarkable!”

The two Ford brothers were very happy, and Nicolas Ford even hugged Greg’s shoulders and complimented him.

Greg felt Bradley Ford’s pulse and stood up smiling, “The old man’s health issue is not a big problem. I have some elixirs here; you should steep them in water and drink them on schedule.

In a while, I’ll write you a prescription. After taking it for a year or two, the old man might be in better shape than you are.”

“Haha, that would be wonderful.”

Having an elder is like having a treasure.

If Bradley Ford could live a few more years, the Ford family would surely prosper even more.

Spencer Burley asked with concern, “Tracy, let Uncle and your third uncle stay here, and I’ll take you out to grab a bite to eat.”

“No rush, Grandpa hasn’t eaten either. Let’s wait for Grandpa to wake up, and then we can all go together.”

“All right then.”

The group chatted outside the guest room for a while, but suddenly the door to the inner room opened, and everyone turned to look, finding that Bradley Ford had actually walked out on his own.

Bradley Ford at this moment, compared to the morning, was like a different person.

Not only was his complexion rosy, but his slightly cloudy eyes had also become bright.

“Grandpa, you’re awake.”

“Dad, how do you feel?”

Whoosh, the Ford family immediately gathered around.

Bradley Ford swung his arms, laughed heartily, and said, “Greg’s medical skill is really miraculous. I feel like I’ve become more than ten years younger, full of energy.”

He, better than anyone, knew his own body. Despite not saying it out loud, he was aware that his health was likely deteriorating and feared he might not have more than a year or two to live.

He just didn’t want to talk about it.

That was also why he was somewhat reluctant to let Greg treat him; he didn’t want to alarm his family.

After chatting with the younger generation for a bit, the old man walked up to Greg and gave a deep bow, “Thank you, Greg…”
