    Cameron had no time to return home. He had to take Lena to the nearest hotel, Century Inn, and have ckheart send the


    acupuncture needles because Lena was already burning with desire. Without


    treatment, her blood vessels might burst from the overwhelming heat.


    Cameron ced the feverish Lena on the bed and selected the Filiform needles from his bag


    “Where is this... Why is my body so hot... It feels so ufortable...”


    Lena’s soft and weak murmurs sent shivers down Cameron’s spine.


    He had never imagined the usually stern Lena could sound so vulnerable.


    Taking a deep breath, Cameron reminded himself he wasn’t the type to exploit someone’s vulnerability. He focused on preparing


    to administer the antidote with six slender Filiform needles.


    However, as he nced at Lena, his resolve wavered when he saw her beginning to tear at her clothes. Fortunately, her


    weakened state prevented any serious exposure. Still, the glimpses of her skin quickened Cameron''s heartbeat.


    Cameron swallowed hard. He mentally chastised himself to stay focused and not be swayed by fleeting desires. Concentrating


    again, he inserted the first needle into the CV 22 acupuncture point just below Lena’s neck.


    Lena''s reaction to the stimtion made Cameron’s heart skip a beat. He realized the challenge of this


    detoxification treatment.


    As he prepared the second needle, Lena pulled out the first needle and tossed it aside after feeling an unusual sensation. Her


    continued restlessness and moans tested Cameron’s patience.


    “Please, Colonel Bailey, try to stay still,” he pleaded.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    He felt frustrated and bitter.


    “Cameron... Is that you?”


    Lena''s drug—addled mind barely recognized Cameron, as her voice wasced with desperation.


    “It''s me,” Cameron replied.


    Cameron''s gaze sharpened. He thought Lena might have regained some lucidity and could cooperate with the acupuncture. But


    as soon as he spoke, Lena let out a seductive moan.


    “| can’t take it anymore... Cameron...”


    Her eyes, once sharp, were now lost in a haze of confusion and desire, like mist swirling through a tranquil forest.


    Cameron cussed inwardly. He felt as though he was about to lose his mind.


    “Colonel Bailey, are you trying to kill me?” hemented internally.

    With no other choice, he steeled himself to proceed with the acupuncture, knowing time was running out for the both of them.


    Taking a deep breath, Cameron prepared another needle. His fingers deftly handled it for another


    attempt.


    The restless Lena suddenly tore open her shirt cor, revealing a swath of blindingly fair skin. Cameron''s eyes twitched at the


    sight. He felt a rush of blood to his head, resulting in a nosebleed.
