Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1132

Andrew ignored all the shouting around him without batting an eye. Once everything he requested had been brought in, he began the treatment without delay.

"Mr. Keller Senior, brace yourself for some pain," he warned calmly.

With that, he slowly inserted golden needles into the top of George's head.

Chantelle's voice turned serious. "Andrew, the head is the most delicate part of the human body. It's where the nerves are most complex—what you're doing could have serious consequences."

Andrew replied evenly, "Mr. Keller Senior's condition stems from a mental collapse, and the mind resides in the thoughts—the thoughts in the brain. So, treatment has to start there."

As he explained, his hands moved with precision. Soon, the crown of George's head, right in GV20, was covered in golden needles. Then, he pressed two acupoints on George's chest with careful control.

A flicker of relief finally appeared on George's agonized face.

Logan asked cautiously, "Andrew, why did you target my father's GV20 and EX-HN14?"

Without looking back, Andrew answered, "Those two points help limit the blood flow to the brain. With less blood pumping into his head, his pain level drops significantly."

Mosby let out a cold laugh. "So the pain might ease, but if there's no blood supply, aren't you just killing him in a different way?"

Andrew snorted. "I said I'm reducing blood flow, not cutting it off entirely. Besides, Mr. Keller Senior's martial foundation is powerful, and his life force is strong. This is a case of mild hypoperfusion, not asphyxiation—so how exactly is that murder?"

Mosby was at a loss for words. The other physicians had come in with a clear bias, convinced Andrew was a fraud.

But now, as they watched his expert acupuncture technique and unconventional methods, they fell silent and watched intently.

Chantelle gave a subtle nod. At the very least, Andrew clearly was not just bluffing—he had real skill.

Andrew said, "Mr. Keller Senior, I'm about to unlock both your upper and lower energy cores. When that happens, all the inner demons in your mind will erupt at once. In other words, you'll enter a full-blown mental breakdown again.

"But as the saying goes, no breakthrough without destruction. If you can push through the madness and regain clarity, then you'll rise from the ashes, reborn."
