Everyone harbored doubts, but just having seen William Cole save the princess of Indonesia, they instinctively obeyed and retreated away from the bed.
William Cole stood there, holding a silver needle, calmly observing everything.
Five minutes passed, and there was no change whatsoever in the sickroom.
The Indonesian princess still lay in deep sleep.
Some became impatient and started murmuring:
"What's going on?"
"There's no movement at all."
"Is it ineffective? Is he just playing a trick on us?"
"Perhaps that's the case..."
Everyone whispered among themselves.
Yet, their murmuring caused William Cole to furrow his brow and loudly command, "Silence!"
Director Patton also sternly warned, "Stop speculating. Just wait patiently."
The physicians grudgingly stopped talking, and a few more minutes passed.
Suddenly, a rasping noise echoed from the princess's throat, eerie as fingernails screeching against a blackboard—a sound that made everyone's skin crawl.
