After a long pause, Lucian tamped down the emotions in his eyes and said calmly, “I’ve asked the specialists to check on you. They’ll be here soon.”
No sooner had he said that, several specialists came rushing over.
They were horrified when they saw Roxanne sitting up in the hospital bed. “Ms. Jarvis, please lie down quickly. There’s still residual toxins in your body that has yet to be flushed out. We want to perform a check-up on you, then prescribe some targeted medication.”
She was very clear-headed when it came to her condition, and she replied, “There’s no need for that. It has been cleared.”
The others frowned, their expressions reflecting their disbelief. “How is that possible?”
We all saw for ourselves how serious her condition was yesterday. How could she have gotten better after just one night’s sleep?
Roxanne merely smiled and did not say anything.
Utterly incredulous, a few of them stepped forward to check on her.
After they did so, everyone could not help but feel dumbfounded. “This…”
They could not believe that she had almost fully recovered, and there were barely any traces of toxins left in her body.
She explained to them calmly, “I performed acupuncture on myself this morning to detoxify my body. I can sense that I’ve gotten rid of almost all of the toxins, but I don’t know whether the little that remains will still have severe effects.”
Upon hearing her reply, the specialists looked at each other.
After some time, one of them finally turned toward Roxanne with a look of admiration. “We’ve long heard of your impressive acupuncture skills. Today, we’ve finally witnessed with our own eyes just how amazing it is!”
Initially, they planned to treat the toxins in her body slowly through medication. None of them expected that she would succeed in getting rid of most of it through a single acupuncture treatment.
Despite the shower of praise from those top specialists, Roxanne’s expression remained unchanged. “My teacher taught me everything I know, and I’ve merely put what I learned into practice. So, what are the results of your check-up? Do I still need treatment for the toxins in my body?”
