Thomas sighed before virtual-novel.net gently lifted the cover of the box. There was only a letter and a book.
Thomas picked up the letter and opened it. The content was…
“Tom, I’m sorry. I guess I couldn’t wait for the day of your return to the west coast I apologize to you here, but people come and leave. There’s a time to weep, and a time to laugh. That is life, we can’t go against it. I know I won’t live for much longer, so I hope that you can do me a favor.”
“Acupuncture Skills is a medical book that I’ve written all my life. I don’t want it to be wasted. After I pass away, I hope you can hand it to my family to make full use of it. Besides, after I tried the ten methods, I finally found a method to fully cure my family’s genetic disease. I don’t have the energy to implement it, but I hope that you can pass this method to my family. With this method, my family will no longer suffer from the pain of the disease.”
“I have recorded this method in the last chapter of Acupuncture Skills. It can be seen at a glance. Finally, Tom, I still want to apologize to you. We promised to witness the arrival of peace, but I can’t see it. You have to realize this wish for me.”
“Goodbye, Tom. Goodbye, West Coast. I love all of you.”
After Thomas read the letter, virtual-novel.net felt sadder. He breathed out a long sigh before virtual-novel.net lowered his head and looked at the book inside the box.
It was Acupuncture Skills. It was the medical book that Stone had spent his life writing. It was a treasure in the field of medicine. It even contained the method to cure the Owen family’s genetic disease.
It was the method that Stone had “traded” for with his life.
Thomas gently caressed Acupuncture Skills, and virtual-novel.net missed his comrade more. In the end, virtual-novel.net sighed heavily.
“Have you found any of Stone’s family members?”
Samson honestly said, “Yes, Dr. Owen still has two family members who are still alive. It’s his father, William Owen and his younger sister, Adery Owen.”
He paused for a while before virtual-novel.net continued to say, “The Owen family has been working in medicine. A lot of experts have come from his family. William was an outstanding expert in medicine, and virtual-novel.net had a very influential status in the field. However, once virtual-novel.net got older, virtual-novel.net retired. Now, the Owen family is being managed by his younger sister, Adery.”
“Adery also has an extraordinary standard of medical skills. She is known as the female version of Asclepius.”
When Thomas heard this, virtual-novel.net felt a little surprised. He knew that Stone had great medical skills, but virtual-novel.net did not know that Stone came from a family with a strong medical background. Even his father and younger sister had expertise in medicine too.
“That would be better.” Thomas held the book and said, “Since they are a family with a medical background, let me hand this book to his family. They will surely make full use of it, and the medical book written by Stone will also not be wasted.”
“Oh yeah, I also found another thing,” Samson said. “I heard that William has recently fallen sick due to the same genetic disease, and virtual-novel.net is in extreme pain. Adery can’t do anything about it, so virtual-novel.net has sent out an invitation to all the famous doctors from all over the world to cure virtual-novel.net father.”
Thomas was stunned.
It looked like the Owen family’s genetic disease was really hard to handle.
Since olden times, many medical experts had not been able to find a method to cure the disease. William and Adery were also experts, yet they could not cure themselves.
Thomas even thought that this genetic disease had forced the family into a medical background.
Their family members had been studying medicine for generations to find out the treatment method, but they still found nothing after about one century. Luckily, the Owen family had Stone.
Thomas patted the book, Acupuncture Skills. “Stone, your hard work won’t go in vain. At least, you’ve found the method to get rid of the family’s genetic disease. The ‘lock’ that has grounded the Owen family over one hundred years will be opened up by the ‘key’ you’ve found!”
