Chapter 20: An Angel Descends to Save The World!
When Welsh entered the room and saw a woman covered in tubes lying on the bed, he frowned.
“This???!!! Are you sure this is Emily’s mother and not her grandmother? She looks really haggard, doesn’t she? Juding from Emily’s age, her mother can’t be this old!” Welsh thought to himself.
The difference between her and Emily’s beautiful second aunt was too big.
Moreover, when he was in the car, he saw a photo of Emily and her mother. They looked similar to her second aunt.
If he hadn’t been sure that Emily wouldn’t lie to him, Welsh would have thought that he had been fooled.
Compared to the image in the previous photo, the difference was too big. She had lost all her weight.
Walking forward, Welsh looked at the tubes inserted into the woman’s body to see what they were for.
Oxygen, glucose, vitamins…
Seeing these things, the confusion on Weiss’face became even greater.
These were very common things to ensure the basic activities of a person’s life.
Although they could not replace food or other things to replenish the body, it was impossible for a normal person to lose so much weight.
Welsh would have believed if he was told the woman had been in a coma for more than ten years.
But according to Emily, her mother had fainted the day before yesterday.
How could a normal person’s metabolism be so fast?
Welsh picked up the woman’s right hand through her clothes, wanting to see the changes in her hand.
Because a person’s hands were a person’s second face, many times what could not be seen from the face could be seen from the hands.
However, when he grabbed the woman’s hands, he was stunned.
Her fingers were slender and long, and they were very white and tender. With a look, one could tell that she had a pair of hands that did not need to do heavy work for a long period of time, and she had paid great attention to maintenance.
However, this pair of hands ,that had been pampered, was now covered with terrifying age spots.
Welsh lifted a corner of the blanket and found that the woman’s neck was the same.
“Is this normal aging?”
Welsh looked at the woman’s hair and muttered.
Hearing Welsh’s words, the beautiful woman could not hold back anymore. She had always had some complaints about a man being able to become a doctor, and now this man actually said such ‘ridiculous’ words.
She felt that if she did not open her mouth to speak, other people would think that she was a fool who would be deceived by others!
“Normal aging? If you can’t diagnose, then you can’t diagnose. What normal aging? Can a normal person age like this in two days?”
Welsh was not in a hurry to refute when he heard someone doubting him. Because he knew that such a thing was indeed somewhat unbelievable.
Welsh pointed at the woman’s hair on the bed and said, “The roots of her hair have begun to turn white. There are even some signs of falling off.”
“You may not know this. Most of the time, human aging starts from the hair. Just like men, there are often many men who will lose their hair when they reach old age. In fact, that is a sign that the body is starting to age.”
After a pause, Welsh continued, “And the new age spots on her body are things that only appear during normal aging. If it was a complicated disease like aging disorders, these would not appear…”
Emily, who was standing at the side, had a strange look on her face as she asked, “So you’re saying that my mother isn’t sick? Just normal aging? But my mother usually uses some skincare products. How could she suddenly age so quickly?”
Welsh nodded. “Yes, that’s the most abnormal part. Because even if it’s aging, there’s a solution. Cosmetics is one of the solutions.”
“Although aging is a process that everyone goes through, she… seems to experience it too quickly. It’s like someone accelerated her time or extracted her life. But this is not something that an ordinary person can do…”
“Not an ordinary person?!”
Welsh muttered, suddenly remembering what he had speculated in history class.
There is a mysterious force hidden behind this world.
Thus, Welsh gathered all the elemental power in his body into his eyes. Indeed, in the middle of the woman’s brows on the bed, he saw a black mist that was hard to detect with the naked eye.
It was that black mist which sucked away the woman’s essence, energy and spirit, causing her entire body to be filled with tubes and yet could not be replenished. She looked extremely haggard.
Seeing this situation, Welsh frowned and recalled an enemy he had met on the Lancaster Continent.
That enemy was not very strong in battle, but he was very difficult to deal with.
That was because he could use the enemy’s fingernails, blood and even hair to cast a curse. He could kill people thousands of miles away.
If Welsh had not been cautious and did not leave any evidence, he would have fallen into his trap.
Welsh picked up the woman’s hands again and saw that the nails on each finger had been cut off.
Her body was aging so fast. Therefore, it was very likely that she had been cursed by someone.
Although curses were very distant to ordinary people, Welsh thought for a while and decided to tell them the truth.
“Emily, your mother was probably cursed by someone.”
“Ah?”
“Ah?”
“…”
Hearing Welsh’s words, everyone present was stunned.
Immediately after, a wave of questioning voices sounded.
“Do you think that our family is all fools? You actually use such a ridiculous thing as a curse for an answer? Who doesn’t know that there is no such thing as a curse in this world?”
This time, apart from the woman, even Emily was a little suspicious.
A curse?!
Wasn’t that something that only existed in legends?
“Just because you haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean it’s non-existence.” Welsh pointed at the woman on the bed and said with a straight face, “And I can prove to you that the woman is indeed cursed.”
“I’d like to see how you can prove today that my sister is cursed. If you can’t prove it, or if I can see that it’s a smokescreen, then, hehe…”
Emily also looked at Welsh with hesitation. She wasn’t doubting Welsh’s intentions, but she was doubting the authenticity of the curse.
Seeing everyone’s doubtful expression, Welsh smiled mysteriously.
Everyone present watched as Welsh used his hands to dance back and forth, twenty centimeters above the madam’s body.
Suddenly, the condition of the woman on the bed improved!
The wrinkles on her face disappeared all of a sudden.
“Wow…”
Everyone exclaimed.
Emily looked at Welsh with admiration, as if he was an angel who had descended to save the world.
