The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

The medicinal pill might not be effective. Even so, she would not blame her son or Quinn.

Everyone in the family yearned for the family's prosperity and good health. It was their first time meeting Quinn, but they treated her the same. The Acker family owed their gratitude to Quinn, therefore, she was willing to accept the result calmly. At this point, most had already given up. Only Quinn and Christian were still nervous.

Master Howton sighed and shook his head. He continued to keep his eyes shut and recited some chant related to the Heavenly Venerate.

The Healing Pill rapidly melted in Keith's mouth, and soon, the medicine quickly spread to all parts of his body and took effect. However, his weak heartbeat stopped.

A sharp alarm sound from the ECG machine soon rang out as the pulse line on the ECG monitor instantly became a straight line.

At last, the Acker family's hope was completely dashed.

Holly lost control of her emotions, and she covered her eyes and burst into tears.

It was the same for Christian. He lost all hope and bowed his head in agony.

Master Howton's mouth moved slightly, but instead of silent reading, he began to read aloud impassionately, "The Heavenly Venerate who saves suffering fills the worlds! He always uses his mighty power to rescue all sentient beings and free them from the lost way! All sentient beings who are lost are blinded day and night!"

This was an excerpt from The Sutra of Life and Death, a sutra used by Taoists to send off the dead.

Master Howton had deliberately recited it aloud to let the Acker family know that he would use his profound power to send Keith to his afterlife.

Quinn was terrified. She had not expected Charlie's Healing Pill to fail in saving

Keith. She also blamed herself for arriving late. If she had come earlier, she might have been able to help Keith. Maybe there would still be hope for the old man.

As it turned out, she might have overestimated the Healing Pill's effect. The medicine would not reverse age, making a man younger by two decades. Even so, it was an extremely strong and effective medicine in saving lives.

The Healing Pill was named for its ability to bring a person back from the verge of death even after the heart had stopped beating. It could save one's life as long as the body and brain were not completely dead.

After all, a cardiac arrest was not the only criterion to tell if a person was completely dead.

In many cases, the doctor could use CPR or AED defibrillation in an attempt to restore the patient's stopped heartbeat. However, even God would not be able to save the patient if their heartbeat had stopped for too long, leading to the death of their organs and brains.

The doctors had given up trying to save Keith, and they put their hands in front of their chests and kept their heads low as they mourned in silence.

Only the piercing humming from the

ECG monitor and the painful

sobbing of the Acker family could be heard in the ward. Just as Quinn and the members of the Acker family present in the ward were in grief, something unexpected happened.

All of a sudden, an imperceptible movement was shown on the ECG monitor!

Unfortunately, this imperceptible up and down went unnoticed, and no one saw it. Fortunately, after the slight movement in the pulse line, another movement appeared on the ECG monitor! Finally, the ECG monitor's loud alarm stopped abruptly.
