Chapter 116 The Procedure
+10 pearls
Caylie wasn’t skilled enough currently to be administering needles to the patient’s chest, or she would have volunteered to do it herself.
After all, he’s a guy and she’s a girl.
Worried that her presence would affect Emrys‘ concentration, she exited the room.
Only the two of them were left in the room.
Emrys was nervous. It felt completely different from the first time he administered acupuncture to Yelena.
At the time, Emrys was extremely focused as his only concern was for her life. Besides, Yelena had not felt a thing because she had been unconscious.
This time, however, the beautiful, seductive woman was lying before him and gazing up at him with misty, imploring eyes.
“Face the other way, Lena.”
“Mmm.”
Yelena hummed in assent. Her ears, snow–white like the neck of a swan, flushed pink.
Though she was fond of teasing Emrys, it was usually in jest. Furthermore, it was through two layers of clothing. Now, however…
Yelena became abashed.
Steadying himself, Emrys undid her buttons and gripped the first needle.
Twenty minutes later, he was done. Mopping his sweaty brows, he said, “Thankfully, yours are au naturel, Lena, or these needles would have punctured them.”
The beads of sweat on his brows were not of exertion but of nerves.
Thus, he cracked a joke to ease the uncomfortable atmosphere.
Chuckling, Yelena flicked his forehead. “Of course. I have self–respect, you know.”
“Is that so? Would you like to compare sizes, Lena?”
As she had remained on the other side of the door eavesdropping, Caylie heard everything. Aware that the process was complete, she pushed open the door and shot Yelena a challenging look upon entering the room.
Yelena pulled a face. “I’m not going to compete with you. You’re a monster.”
“How dare you! Say that again, Yelena!”
