Chapter 2023


    Matthew shrugged it off. He didn''t care what these buffoons thought of him. "Miss Crichton, I need your


    help with the acupuncture on her back." Her condition stems from the lungs, but I need her to go


    through an acupuncture session to confirm it. Since she''s a woman, I''ll need L''s help to deal with


    this.


    L nodded. She wouldn''t refuse this request, of course.


    "Administer the needles over sixteen points, in order of DU-14, DU-16, BL-13…"


    L listened to the instructions and took Roxanne into the consultation room. A momentter, Roxanne


    screamed in pain. L was administering a needle around point BL-13.


    Eleanor wanted to barge into the room, but Matthew stopped her. Icily, he snapped, "Pain is needed for


    her to heal. If you go inside and get in L''s way, you''ll negatively affect the treatment."


    Eleanor didn''t like Matthew, but L, the infamous Goddess of Meteora, was inside. She couldn''t risk


    barging in. One, she might get in the way of the treatment, and two, that would be a tant act of


    mistrust, which would offend L again. She shot Matthew a look of displeasure and returned to her


    seat.


    Half an hourter, L came out.


    "Done. It''s her lungs. It affected her aorta, so she pales and feels dizzy whenever she gets tired or


    holds her breath. It''s not a vessel condition, so to speak." L shot Colin a look of disdain. Mediocre.


    Right after L came out, Eleanor darted into the room. "How are you, Roxanne? Do you feel better?


    You were screaming just now, and it scared me." Eleanor had a sharp tongue, but she did love her


    sister, and she rubbed Roxanne''s cheeks.


    Roxanne answered happily, "I''m fine. Never better, actually." She took a few deep breaths, looking


    rxed. "Dr. Larson, Miss L, thank you for your help," Roxanne thanked them the moment she


    came out of the room.


    "This is our duty," L answered coolly and left thedies. She wanted to research the pill Matthew just


    gave her.


    "Miss Bane, if I''m right, this condition of yours has persisted for many years, correct?"


    Roxanne answered truthfully, "Yes. Ever since I had a high fever at nine, I have been living with this


    condition."


    "More than a decade, I see. The acupuncture has only healed a part of it, so your condition remains.


    You require further treatment and medication." Matthew wrote a prescription, paused for a moment,


    then took out another bottle of Reconstruction Pill. "This is something I made. I call it Reconstruction


    Pill. It''s not specifically made for your condition, but it can still speed up the recovery process. Other


    than that, you can do some cardio, but don''t go too hard. Just do it until your forehead starts to sweat.


    Couple it with this prescription and you should recover fully in a month."


    He gave the pill and prescription to Roxanne and left with the monk. Roxanne stared at the bottle of


    pills. I think I''ve heard of this pill before, but where?


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    "That was great, Mr. Larson. You saw through her symptoms just by looking at her, and you cured her


    with a single acupuncture session. Unbelievable."


    "I didn''t know monks were good at buttering people up."


    "Oh, you jest, Mr. Larson."


    …


    The voice of their conversation drifted further and further away. When Roxanne snapped out of it,


    Matthew was already nowhere to be found. "Let''s go, Eleanor."


    Thedies left as well, leaving an angry and humiliated Colin behind. He was at a loss.
