All Chapters of The Last Patient I Refused to Save: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“What did you say?”Michael Wood, the lead bodyguard dressed in black, froze on the spot, his eyes widening in disbelief.He looked down at the mangled man lying on the stretcher, then back up at me.The man on the stretcher was Samuel Hall.The richest man in Rivergate, and a philanthropist known to everyone in the city.Half an hour earlier, a gas explosion had torn through an orphanage in the southern district.Samuel happened to be passing by when the explosion occurred. He rushed into the flames and shielded six children who were unable to escape.The children emerged completely unharmed.Instead, a collapsing support beam slammed into his back, leaving him with severe burns across most of his body and multiple shattered bones.The director of Rivergate Central Hospital had already issued a critical condition notice, declaring that even a miracle doctor couldn't save him.With reddened eyes, Michael slammed three black briefcases onto the stone floor.The latches sprang open, reve

“Make way! Everyone stand back!”A swarm of reporters carrying cameras pushed their way inside.Blinding camera flashes instantly illuminated the dim interior of the Hall of Souls Clinic.“Good evening, viewers. We're coming to you live from the mysterious Hall of Souls Clinic here in Rivergate!”A female reporter spoke rapidly into her microphone as she faced the camera.“As you can see, Samuel Hall, the hero who rescued six children from a burning building earlier today, is currently fighting for his life on a stretcher.“And yet Dr. Ashley Cross, who claims to be the successor to the legendary Thirteen Needles of Revival, has allegedly refused to treat him, citing nothing more than her own rules.”The cameras swung directly toward my face.Outside the clinic, the crowd erupted into chaos.People shouted insults at the top of their lungs. Some even picked up chunks of broken pavement and hurled them at the clinic's front door.“Shut this place down!”“Drive that heartless woman out o

Jason let out a cold snort.“Ashley Cross, cut the act. You're just afraid of being held responsible and looking for a way out.“Every second counts. Stop talking and save him.”Supported by several prominent figures, Michelle pointed at me and unleashed another stream of insults.“You bitch! You're jealous of the Hall family's reputation! Stop wasting time and treat my son!”I looked at this crowd of self-righteous fools and let out a cold laugh.With a flick of my wrist, the three-inch Soulbinding Needle pierced the center of Samuel's forehead.The moment the needle entered his body, Samuel's weak breathing abruptly halted.His entire body began convulsing uncontrollably.The charred skin covering his body split apart, and dark red blood seeped from the cracks.The monitor beside him erupted into a series of rapid beeps as the heart-rate line on the screen shot wildly up and down.“What did you do?!”Michael's eyes turned bloodshot as he raised his gun and pointed it at my head.“If

Samuel's bloodcurdling scream echoed through the Hall of Souls Clinic.Everyone sucked in a sharp breath.Michelle's cane slipped from her hand and clattered to the floor as her legs gave out beneath her.Jason drew in a sharp breath, his eyes widening in shock.The reporter nearly dropped her microphone.Even the livestream comments went silent for nearly ten seconds.A hero praised by millions.A philanthropist who was on the verge of receiving the city's highest civilian honor.Yet at death's door, those were the words that came out of his mouth.Then the comments exploded.“What the hell did I just hear?!”“Burn them alive? Lock the doors?! Was he saving people or trying to kill them?!”“This is insane! There's definitely something huge going on here!”Samuel continued thrashing on the treatment table.His eyes were unfocused.He was clearly trapped in a powerful hallucination.Among the Thirteen Needles of Revival, some needles saved lives while others revealed the truth.When a p

As the eighth Ghost Gate Needle pierced a vital point, Samuel's entire body locked up.His eyes bulged from their sockets, the blood vessels within them looking ready to burst.“Ghh! Aaaah!”A bloodcurdling scream tore from his throat, sending chills through everyone in the room.The Thirteen Needles of Revival amplified pain tenfold.The extensive burns covering his body had long since gone numb.Now every wound felt as though it were being torn open all over again.“Help... Kill me... Just kill me...”Samuel slammed his head repeatedly against the treatment table as black blood poured from the corners of his mouth.The livestream comments descended into complete chaos.“Holy hell! This is the ultimate revenge!”“Five years of patience, all leading to this moment!”“The Hall family are monsters! They deserve everything that's coming to them!”“Throw every last one of them in prison!”Jason looked utterly defeated.He knew his career was finished.The police arrived and quickly surroun
