Anya and lan were taken aback when they saw Lily show up. They were both at a loss for words for a moment.

Anya quickly wiped away her tears, not wanting Lily to see how upset she was. Ian, on the other hand, wore a stiff expression.

After what felt like an eternity, he finally spoke up, “Lily, what are you doing here?”

Glancing behind her, he spotted Sean and immediately exploded, “Damn it! Didn’t I tell you not to say anything to Lily?”

Sean looked aggrieved. “I swear it wasn’t me! She forced it out of me.”

Lily shot a look at lan, her voice calm but carrying an edge of steel. “If I hadn’t come, were you planning to just waste away here?”

Ignoring his response, Lily walked over and firmly gripped his wrist. She inspected his arm and then his leg, her eyes narrowing sharply. His tendons

were severed, both in his hands and feet.

How great… Someone dared to harm her people. She wouldn’t forget this debt.

“Zoey’s background isn’t that simple, Lily. I admit you’re amazing, but we don’t want to bring you more trouble. You should go back. If she finds out you’re involved and comes after you, I’ll be the one to blame,” lan said.

Lily looked at him, a hint of exasperation in her eyes. “You should worry about yourself first.”

Her face was expressionless as she pulled out her silver needle pouch and swiftly inserted silver needles into his acupoints.

Then, she took a small porcelain bottle from her pocket and gave him a pill to swallow. After a few moments, she removed the needles and stood up, her expression impassive. “Get out of bed.”

lan stared at her, utterly confused. He was crippled; how could he possibly get out of bed?

He had no idea Lily knew anything about medicine.

When she inserted the needles earlier, he hadn’t felt a thing and thought maybe she was just venting her frustration on him.

Lily ignored his bewildered expression and moved to Anya’s bedside. She repeated the same process–performing acupuncture on her, feeding her medicine, and removing the needles.

When she was done, she noticed they were both still lying in bed, hesitant.

Her gaze turned icy. “What’s the matter? Are you planning to stay in bed for the rest of your lives?”

Jan clenched his teeth, determination flashing in his eyes. He decided to give it a try and swung his legs over the edge of the bed.

As soon as he did, he froze in astonishment.

Holy…

Jan was stunned.

He could move?

He wasn’t convinced. He hopped on the ground a couple of times, his eyes wide with disbelief. “Holy crap! Lily, what did you do? I can actually move now!

Anya, upon hearing his exclamation, quickly got out of bed as well. She tested her own hands and feet, and she was able to move them. Tears of relief and joy welled up in her eyes. “I can move too!!

Watching from the side, Sean was completely dumbfounded. It was like witnessing a miracle.

Just moments ago, they were practically crippled, and now, they were moving around like nothing had happened.

Lily calmly put away her silver needles. She said nothing to Anya and lan as she headed to the door. “Let’s go back to school.”

Ian hesitated, unsure of how to stop her. “Lily”

Zoey had made it clear. If they were seen at school again, she would target their families. It wasn’t that he was scared for himself, but he didn’t want to drag his family into this mess.

Lily didn’t even break her stride as she replied, “I’ve arranged for someone to protect your family.”

“What about Anya’s family?” Tan asked, still worried.

She paused in her tracks and turned to look at Anyn. “I sent someone to find your parents, but they weren’t at home.”

Anya nodded. “They’re probably out selling vegetables. They usually go out for a couple of weeks at a time. As long as Zoey can’t find them, they should
