Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 362

Before Celeste could even argue back, Thea cast a projection directly onto the screen.

The massive television in the hospital room, synchronized with the live stream, popped up with an exclusive explanation of Dr. Alistair Vance's acupuncture technique.

Sienna looked straight into the camera and spoke with absolute composure.

"The technique I used that day was Dr. Vance's only legacy restorative acupuncture, which you can all search up online right now if you don't believe me.

The characteristics and taboos of this method are completely public and transparent. It only repairs chronic injuries and stubborn disabilities, and has zero effect on perfectly healthy muscle tissue.

In fact, if a healthy limb has its nerve acupoints stimulated by this technique, it will cause irreversible loss of function.

Meaning, a good leg will definitely be ruined, and a bad leg will definitely heal."

She turned her eyes to look at Jarred, whose posture had completely tensed up.

"Jarred, you and your good buddies have all paid private visits to Dr. Vance. You all know in your hearts whether my words hold any weight or not, right?"

Jarred's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, a heavy shock striking his chest.

Gideon and Lucas also swallowed hard, remaining entirely silent.

This reaction was undoubtedly the best answer.

Sienna withdrew her gaze, looking at Celeste, her voice cold and razor-sharp.

"For these past few months, you've been acting like you were in agonizing pain, making your injuries look critically severe, deceiving the entire Sterling household and everyone else's sympathy.

You acted for so long, and faked it so well, that everyone thought you had severe, untreatable injuries.

When I performed the acupuncture, I was trying to save you out of professional medical ethics.

I cured your fake limp, but your years of disguised acting personally destroyed your own perfectly healthy legs.

I didn't hurt you; you reaped what you sowed."

The moment her words dropped, Sienna suddenly whipped the blanket off Celeste's legs.

Seizing the opportunity, Thea signaled the cameraman to step forward and focus the lens on Celeste's legs.

"There are six pinpricks on your leg, arranged in a plum blossom pattern, which is the signature mark of Dr. Vance's acupuncture technique."
