My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 145

Initially, Lily didn't have to intervene at the city gate. She just couldn't bear it when she heard that Loid had been injured because of those attackers.

She felt as if her heart had been stabbed, and her blood boiled. She would make those people experience something worse than death to avenge Loid.

Lily sutured Loid's wounds gently, as if afraid of causing him any pain despite knowing that he'd been anesthetized.

She requested for the other surgeons to leave the room once the suturing was over. Neil was the only one left.

"Have you studied acupuncture before?" Lily asked, removing her scrub.

"I haven't, but I've read up on it," Neil replied honestly, his chest swelling with admiration for her.

Lily nodded. "I'll teach you a technique, and you'll have to perform it."

The said technique was, in fact, quite risky. Lily should have performed it herself, but it demanded a lot of physical exertion.

It had been a long day for her, so she couldn't hold up any longer. She had more important things to attend to later.

Hence, she couldn't afford to tire herself out. Otherwise, no one could handle Loid's treatment in the future.

"Huh? Me?" Neil was dumbfounded. Although he was interested in acupuncture, he'd never done it before, especially not on Loid. What if he made a mistake?

"Can you do it?" Lily grew visibly impatient.

"I'm worried that if I made a mistake, Mr. Laurier would be…" Neil was anxious.

"Are you familiar with acupoints?" Lily rolled up her sleeves and produced a silver needle pouch.

"I am."

Lily nodded and passed the needles to Neil. "Follow my instructions and insert the needles. Make sure you're on the right acupoints."

Neil eventually took the needles after a moment of hesitation. He was passionate about medicine, and observing Lily's acupuncture and surgery skills had left him in awe.
