The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 1088

Seeing that the time was right, Neera commanded, “Osbert, insert the needles!”

To ensure nothing went wrong, she kept a close watch on every needle Osbert inserted, making sure it was placed in the meridian points she had instructed.

At first, Osbert's movements were both swift and steady. However, after the ninth needle, he hesitated, not daring to proceed.

The next meridian point was a very important central point.

If not done correctly, deviating from the meridian point could potentially cause irreparable damage to the patient's body.

Osbert had never inserted a needle from that angle before. Struggling to gauge the depth, beads of sweat the size of soybeans emerged from his forehead, trickling down his face.

“Osbert!”

Neera called out to him, her voice incredibly serious.

Osbert seemed to be in his own world, completely oblivious to everything around him.

For a moment, he felt a pang of anxiety, even a touch of self-doubt, and he dared not try.

Seeing that, Neera gritted her teeth, immediately walked over, grabbed his hand, and taught him how to insert the needle. “Just like this. Identify the meridian point and insert the needle. What's there to hesitate about? Since you've chosen the path of a doctor, you must try everything. How can you afford to be timid? You are a doctor. Your patients entrust their lives to you. You must be confident, and you can't afford to doubt yourself. Illness won't wait for you. In an emergency, your hesitation, even for a second, could potentially cost a patient's life, ruining their lives!”

As she spoke, she firmly and accurately inserted the needle into the meridian point while holding his hand.

Upon hearing her voice, Avery opened his eyes, which had been shut tight in pain.

That stunningly beautiful face directly invaded his line of sight.

Looking into her eyes, brimming with confidence and certainty, he felt as if his pain had suddenly vanished. His heart was pounding uncontrollably, leaving him somewhat dizzy, unable to avert his gaze.

Previously, he was merely intrigued by her, wanting to marry her largely for the alliance between the Cox and Gordon families and the status of the Cox family.

Gradually, he began to notice the uniqueness of Neera, and his interest in her grew stronger.

Later on, he met with an accident. As he watched her treat his injuries, his heart couldn't help but stir, and feelings of affection began to emerge, thread by thread.

And at that moment, he realized she was so extraordinarily unique.

In other words, she completely captured his heart.

Just as he was thinking, the next second, the turmoil within him intensified. It was as if something was rampaging through his veins and muscles, instantly dispelling his thoughts.

Neera saw him biting his lip in pain and told him in a deep voice, “The mother wug has begun to expel. This process will take at least an hour. Can you hold on?”

At that critical juncture, he had to hold on no matter what. Even if he couldn't, he still had to grit his teeth and endure it.

Avery wasn't someone who would give up halfway.

At that moment, he endured the pain. He fixed his gaze on Neera and said firmly, “I can handle it. Don't worry about me. I can hold on.”

Seeing the situation, both elders and Violet were deeply worried. All they could do was silently pray and hope that everything would go smoothly. They hoped that Avery could escape from his suffering as soon as possible.

Neera also wanted to speed up the process, hoping to finish the treatment as soon as possible.

Seeing a layer of cold sweat on Avery's forehead, she hesitated for a moment. Instead of wiping it off herself, she asked Luigi to do it for him.

On the other side, Charles' agony intensified, his face contorted in pain, his nose no longer resembled a nose, and his eyes no longer looked like eyes.

Fractured screams kept pouring out of his mouth.

Neera frowned, feeling somewhat worried. If he keeps screaming, he might run out of energy soon. Or worse, if he accidentally bit his own tongue, that would be even more troublesome.

With that in mind, she turned to Violet and asked, “Do we have anything like a handkerchief or towel here? We need to gag him, careful not to let him bite himself, and conserve his strength. If he faints, it could hinder treatment and might even put Mr. Cox in a dangerous situation, potentially risking his life.”

Upon hearing that, Violet didn't dare to delay. She quickly went out to find a towel and returned promptly. Holding Charles' chin, she forced his mouth open and unceremoniously stuffed the towel in.
