A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 147

"However, before I completely remove the poison from your system, I can deal with the poison that has spread to your legs. That way, you won't have to be in a wheelchair anymore," said Demi.

"You can do that?" No matter how calm Felix usually was, he couldn't hide his excitement and disbelief from showing.

"Of course. I'm a doctor," she said like it wasn't something to be surprised about. "However, we can't do that today. I need to head home and get some rest first. I also need to prepare for the treatment. Give me three days. If you're free in three days, visit me."

She needed to cultivate some simple pills to get rid of the poison and prepare her needles. Then, she would be ready.

"I'll definitely be free on that day," Felix said while nodding with full certainty. After all, what could be more important than being able to stand up?

Meanwhile, Demi was impressed by Felix. The poison in his body was potent and hard to deal with. However, the poison was kept under control with high-level acupuncture. Still, it wasn't enough to stop the poison from spreading to his legs.

Not only would his legs slowly become weaker, but it would also feel like there were countless ants nibbling on them. In fact, it would be incredibly painful, like there were thousands of needles stabbing into his legs. With the poison deep inside his body, he would also be in extreme pain sometimes.

Some people would rather die than go through pain like that. However, he was acting as if there was nothing wrong with him at all.

"Other than that, we need to keep the poison in your body under control. To be honest, the doctor that kept the poison under control for you is quite impressive."

When Felix heard that, he was speechless. Demi's words sounded normal, and it felt as if she was complimenting a younger doctor. However, she wasn't trying to sound like that at all, and Felix knew it too.

"He truly is an incredible doctor. If it weren't for him, I would've lost my life a long time ago," he said with a chuckle, and he sounded grateful while speaking self-mockingly. After pausing for a second, he added, "If he knows the poison can be removed, I'm sure he'll be over the moon."

"Why don't you just tell him about it? Is he not with us anymore?" she asked. Hearing how he spoke, it was as if he couldn't talk to the doctor anymore.

"That's not it. It's just that he's asleep most of the time and rarely wakes up," he explained.

"I see…" Demi pondered about what he said but didn't ask about it.

Depending on the book she wanted to buy, they would have to go to a different bookstore. For example, they would have to go to an education bookstore to look for books in that field. Felix had a feeling that was where Demi wanted to go.

"I wish to get some books on herbs," she said.

"I see. In that case, we'll have to go to Cartroan Bookstore. After all, it's the biggest one around here, and they have the most books there. What do you think?" he suggested.

Felix figured the book she wanted to buy would be extremely complicated and hard to find. So, it would make sense for them to search in the biggest bookstore there.

"That sounds good. However, it's probably going to take a while," she said apologetically. Demi knew that he had to be busy with important work. So, she felt bad for wasting his time.

"Please don't say that, Ms. Demi. There's nothing much for me to do now," said Felix. Right after that, his phone started ringing. After listening to what the person on the other side of the call said, Felix said casually, "See to it yourself. Don't call me again unless there's something important happening."

Hearing that, Demi was speechless. As she had expected, Felix was a busy man.
