My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 146

Neil had just inserted the needle into the last acupoint Lily mentioned when she returned to the surgery room. She immediately mentioned another acupoint, and he seamlessly continued the procedure.

Daniel was remarkably efficient as well. He brought the needles over in less than eight minutes. Fortunately, being in a hospital with an acupuncture department made the task relatively easy. Certain doctors preferred treating patients with acupuncture, after all.

Time passed by, and Loid's anesthesia wore off. When he slowly stirred back to consciousness, the procedure was still incomplete.

Lily instructing Neil on where to insert the needles was the first thing he saw once he opened his eyes. Drinking at her flawless features, he smiled and reached out to hold her hand.

"Don't move!" Lily hissed.

Loid stopped abruptly, looking somewhat aggrieved. She sighed, and explained patiently, "You have needles on your hands. Moving them will displace the needles."

Only then did Loid's expression return to normal.

Meanwhile, Neil witnessed everything in awe. Was this still the Loid he knew? He thought he didn't recognize the man acting so coquettishly before him.

The Loid he knew was always aloof and sophisticated, so who was this man in front of him?

Neil chanced a glance at Lily and inhaled deeply. The power of love was formidable indeed.

The procedure came to an end after ten minutes. Lily instructed Neil to start withdrawing the needles from the first one, and he was lucky to have perfect memory.

He remembered the sequence of the acupoints she mentioned, so he didn't need her to remind him. He removed all the needles accordingly.

Melanie, Stefan, Shaun, and Daniel all hurried over once Loid was wheeled out of the room. Seeing that Loid had regained consciousness, they breathed a sigh of relief.
