Chapter <b>146</b>


    Nell had just inserted the needle into the <bst </b>acupoint Lily mentioned when she returned to the surgery room<b>. </b>She immediately mentioned another acupoint<b>, </b><b>and </b>be seamlessly continued the <b>procedure</b>.


    Daniel was remarkably efficient as well. He brought the needles over in less than eight minutes. Fortunately, being in a hospital with an acupuncture department made the task rtively easy. Certain doctors preferred treating patients with acupuncture, after all.


    Time passed by, and Loid’s anesthesia wore off. When he slowly stirred back to consciousness, the procedure was still iplete.


    Lilyinstructing Neil on where to insert the needles was the first thing he saw once he opened his eyes. Drinking at her wless features, he smiled and reached out to hold her hand.


    “Don’t move!” Lily hissed.


    Loid stopped abruptly, looking somewhat aggrieved. She sighed, and exined patiently, “You have needles on your hands. Moving them will disce the needles.”


    Only then did Lold’s expression return to normal.


    Meanwhile, Neil witnessed everything in awe. Was this still the Loid he knew? He thought he didn’t recognize the man acting so coquettishly before him


    The Lold he knew was always aloof and sophisticated, so who was this man in front of him?


    Nell chanced a nce at Lily and inhaled deeply. The power of love was formidable indeed.


    The procedure came to an end after ten minutes. Lily Instructed Neil to start withdrawing the needles from the firstone, and he was lucky to have perfect memory.


    He remembered the sequence of the acupoints she mentioned, so he didn’t need her to remind him. He removed all the needles ordingly


    Mnie, Stefan, Shaun, and Daniel all hurried over once Loid was wheeled out of the room. Seeing that Loid had regained consciousness<b>, </b>they breathed a sigh of relict. Shaun was particrly relieved. Loid had been shot protecting him after all. He would never forgive himself if Loid died.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    “The poison is under control, and it’ll bepletely resolved with another round of treatment for ten days.” Lily had always beennd and courteous toward Mnie. “All the bullets have been removed, and he only has a few external injuries left. Nothing serious though. He just has to rest for a while.”


    Taking Lily’s hand, Mnie crooned, “Lily, you must be exhausted.”


    Lily smiled. “I’m fine. Mrs. Laurier, take care of him first. I’ll need to tend to a few more things


    “But it’s gettingte now! Why don’t you go tomorrow moming instead? I’ll have Daniel send you back first” Mnie was worried about Lily’s wellbeing


    “It’s quite important,” Lily said softly


    Slightly stunned, Mnie continued, “How about Ie with you instead? I can’t be at ease if you’re alone outside!”


    “It’s fine Daniel will being with me.” Lily intended to deal with the Maynardster. Mnie would’ve been terrified if she tagged along. Mnie didn’t pursue it any further. She merely reminded Lily to be mindful of her safety. Lily nodded and left swiftly with Daniel Seeing that Loid was fine, Shaun followed Lily as well. They owed her <b>a </b>huge favor tonight, so he decided to help her settle the score. However, they ran into the Martinezes once they reached the stairs, Julia was in the lead. She asked hastily once she spotted Lily.


    Lily nced at her and replied nonchntly, “He’s in the ward.”


    “How is Mr. Lauriet?


    She was about to leave, but Susan stopped her. “Why aren’t you keeping himpany when he’s been injured? Why are you going at thiste hour?”
