Inside the hospital, James sat down.
“Thea, take my shirt off.”
“Okay.”
Thea obeyed.
“And my pants.”
“What?”
Thea was stunned, and she blushed. “Honey, what are you doing?”
“Just do it.”
“Alright then.”
Thea removed James’ pants. He was only in his underwear.
“Get the silver needles ready.”
“Okay.”
Thea quickly prepared the silver needles.
The Callahans walked in, looking with confusion at the nearly-naked James.
Tommy mocked him. “James, you piece of trash. What are you doing now?”
James ignored Tommy.
Soon, Thea returned with the silver needles. “Here are the silver needles, honey.”
James asked, “Thea, do you remember the book I showed you on meridians and acupuncture points? Do you still remember how the points are distributed?”
“No, not really.”
“Can you please get the book?”
Thea did not know what James was planning to do, but Eternality Hospital had plenty of books like that. Quickly, she tried to locate one of them.
After that, she brought it to James.
“Now, pick up a silver needle and follow my instructions. Stick it where I tell you to.
“Alright, stick it in here. Not too deep. Just for the tip to go in.”
Thea had never done acupuncture before. After hearing what James said, she picked up a silver needle and flipped through the book to determine the accurate location. She held the needle in her hand, not daring to do it.
“Honey, I-I’m scared.”
“Don’t worry. Just do it.”
Thea took a deep breath and carefully stuck a needle into James.
