Sean was already in a foul mood from being forced to be in the restroom. The news of Eric having recovered only further fueled Sean’s irritation.
Even without his assistant’s report, he had already speculated that would be the case as Eric hadn’t returned to the restroom after Sean did. It seemed to him that Olivia’s acupuncture treatment was effective.
A sense of regret washed over him as he looked back on how ugly his thoughts were. Though it was indeed true that he had a fear of needles, he did cast doubt on Olivia’s action.
Given that he was in this predicament because of Olivia’s drink, he had difficulties trusting Olivia over this matter. However, even if he presently had the intention of asking for treatment from Olivia, he was not so thick-faced as to beg for it.
Seeing that Sean was silent, the assistant continued nagging, “But to think Miss Maxwell’s skills are the real deal. The colors on Mr. Gabel’s face returned after going through that acupuncture.”
With difficulty, Sean stood up and came out the door while holding onto it. “That’s enough. You can stop rubbing salt over my wounds. Since I’ve already rejected her goodwill, I do not have the cheek to ask for her help.
The moment Sean came out, the assistant immediately went and supported his weight. “What is there to be ashamed of? You are in this predicament because you drank Miss Maxwell’s milk tea. Even after all is said and done, she shares part of the blame! Allowing her to treat you shows how benevolent and forgiving you are. It’s normal for you to suspect her when you consider the circumstances!”
Sean corrected his assistant. “I was not given the drink; I took it from her!”
The assistant continued, “Since she has performed the treatment on Mr. Gabel, it’s only fair if she performs it on you as well. Come on, let’s go see her. Right now it’s either her or the hospital. If you keep staying this way, you’re going to suffer dehydration as well!”
The two continued walking out of the restroom: and entered the main area. Eric was already standing tall, as though he never had diarrheal in the first place.
Eric greeted Sean passionately when he saw Sean walking in. “Sean! Come on, let’s get Olivia to give you the acupuncture. It’s not painful at all! On the contrary, it felt so comfortable that I had no urges to go to the restroom at all.”
