Chapter 128 Such A Terrifying Possessiveness
Preston ke raised his chin and said, “I’m not afraid.” “So brave? Then go and lie down on the bed.
I’ll insert a few needles in your body to try,” Annalise Barton said. When Preston heard ‘a few needles’
would be inserted, he frowned and asked, “How many needles?” He had to know how many needles
there were in all.
“Nine needles,” Annalise said. She could tell that Preston was terrified of getting pierced by needles. In
that case, she would choose the acupuncturebination with fewer needles. “You’ll see how brave I
am after two inserting two needles. There’s no need for nine,” Preston said.“No, I can’t tell with two
needles. What if you’re pretending to be brave?” Annalise rebutted him skillfully.
When she was overseas for a few years, she interacted with all kinds of patients and gave treatment to
children more often. Preston only had the intelligence of a toddler. As long as she treated him like a
child and coaxed him while she worked, it would be fine.
Preston nced at Annalise as if he couldn’t find the right words to refute her. He said, “Then do it.” He
headed back into the house. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned to look at Annalise. “But
I’m fine and not sick. Why do I have to undergo acupuncture?”

“We’re justpeting to see who’s braver!” Annalise blinked her ck, bright eyes. Seeing Annalise
behaving this way, Julian Parks could not help but lower his head andugh. Preston thought for a
moment. It made sense. They werepeting to see who was braver. He said, “Then, after I’m done,
you have to go through the same procedure.”
“Okay.” Annalise immediately agreed. Julian silently thought that if Annalise wanted to undergo
acupunctureter, he would take her ce instead. Preston obediently ran to the bed andy down.
“I’m going to start inserting the needles. It doesn’t hurt at all. I’ll be gentle when I insert the needles into
you. You have to be gentle too when you insert the needles into meter,” Annalise coaxed. “Okay.”
Preston was very obedient.
Annalise began to insert the needles. First, she inserted the needles into the Junction Valley Acupoint.
Then, she inserted the needles into both sides of the Arm Three Miles Acupoint.
Preston was very nervous when the first needle went in. Seeing that Annalise was really very gentle
and the needle was especially thin, his whole body felt much more rxed.
However, after Annalise was done with the insertion and gently twisted the needle when she was
performing the acupuncture, Preston felt that the ce where the needle was inserted was especially
sore and swollen. He felt so ufortable that he wanted to blurt out it was painful and swollen, but
when he remembered that they werepeting in bravery, he forced himself to endure it.
Annalise took note of Preston’s reaction. She smiled and said, “I’m almost done. Why are you so
brave?” Preston subconsciously raised his chin as hey on the bed. “I told you I was very brave. Do
you now?” “Yes, I believe you.” Annalise finished inserting the eighth needle. believe me “Then, if you
believe me, you don’t have to do it anymore,” Preston said. Annalise immediately inserted the ninth
needle and said, “Yes, there’s no need to do it anymore.”
“Then, can you pull out these needles?” Preston turned his head and saw that there were needles in
his arms. These needles were very strange. They seemed a little familiar, but it also seemed like he
had never seen them before.
Last year, when he caught a cold, the doctor gave him an IV drip. That needle was different from this
needle. It was also not this kind of needle when he did the skin test. “Not yet. Let’s see how long you
can be brave. Can youst for fifteen minutes?” Annalise said. “Yes!” Preston immediately replied.
“Then I’ll start counting down.” Annalise began counting down to 15 minutes. After every minute, she
would cheer Preston on “You’re so good. You’ve alreadysted for a minute.” Preston would feel an
extraordinary sense of aplishment
Annalise also felt that this was a good start. Preston was easy to bluff. Now, he was willing to
cooperate with the acupuncture treatment. In the future, she could give him acupuncture more often,
supplemented by physical exercise and medicinal treatment. After his body recovered, she would give
him psychological therapy.
She suspected that Preston’s condition was rted to Jared ke Preston needed a healthy body to
withstand what would happen after he regained his memories
Fifteen minutester, Preston cheered “Yay, I’m so brave Lianne, am I amazing?” “Yes, Older Brother is
amazing!” Lianne ke praised him generously. She was particrly aloof outwardly, but in front of
Preston, she was just a gentle girl next door.
Even though Preston’s intelligence was simr to that of a toddler who was only a few years old, she
still doted on him like a younger sister would and acted coquettishly with him. Preston then looked at
Annalise again. Annalise also gave him a thumbs-up and praised him. “You’re too brave and
awesome!” Preston was very pleased, and his face was filled with joy.
“It’s my turn to receive acupuncture,” Annalise said. “Just insert the needles into me,” Julian said.
Lianne persuaded Annalise softly, “Annalise, surely there’s no need to insert needles into yourselves.”
She felt bad that the doctor herself had to undergo acupuncture too. “Okay” Annalise smiled at Lianne
and immediately inserted a needle into the web between her thumb and forefinger.
As soon as she inserted at that point, she raised her hand in front of Preston and shook it. “Argh! It
hurts! Ooh! It hurts. I can’t do it. Boo hoo. I’m afraid of pain…” She immediately pulled out the needle
and blew at the area where the needle was inserted. “Huff, huff. It’s so painful.” Preston had the
temperament of a child. When he saw Annalise in so much pain, he could not bear to criticize her for
not being brave.
He immediately held her hand and blew on the area between her thumb and index finger. “Huff, huff.
You should not undergo acupuncture anymore in the future. You’re afraid of pain.” Julian looked at
Preston pulling Annalise’s hand and even blowing on it for her.
He suddenly felt very ufortable. He snatched Annalise’s hand and blew on it himself. Then, he
reached out and gently touched the spot where Annalise had inserted the needle before holding her
hand up to blow on it again.
Preston had the mentality of a child. When he saw Julian helping to blow on Annalise’s hand, he
immediately voiced his approval “Yes, blow for her. She’s afraid of pain. Girls are not as brave as boys”
Lianne did not know whether tough or cry when she heard her older brother’s words. And Julian’s
actions gave her a new understanding.
They could all tell that Annalise was pretending to be in pain to cajole Lianne’s older brother. In the
end, not only was Julian jealous that Lianne’s older brother touched Annalise’s hand, but he also
helped Annalise to blow on her hand. Such a terrifying possessiveness! However, it made all the
women, envious. “It doesn’t hurt,” Annalise said softly as she blushed. “Alright,” Julian replied. He still
held her hand and asked her, “Are you done?” Annalise nodded. “Yes.”
She told Lianne that after today’s treatment, she would hire someone to help Preston with the physical
training. She woulde over every once in a while to give him acupuncture.
“Alright, alright. Thank you, Annalise.” Lianne was very grateful. “You’re wee. We’ll head back
first,” Annalise said. Lianne immediately asked them to stay for dinner. Julian turned her down. “No, we
still have something on, He had something incredibly important to do today, so how could he stay for
dinner? “Alright then. Take care.” Lianne sent them out. Julian took the wheel for this trip. Annalise sat
in the passenger seat. She asked in surprise, “Do you have other things to do?” Julian said
mysteriously, “We have other things to do!”
