Chapter 357 I’ll Massage Your Body
lan swiftly arranged for someone to go to the villa next door
Upon his return, he asked Neera, “Ms. Garcia, do you want to stay here or rest in the quest room, then cre back in the middle of the night?”
Neera contemplated for a moment before responding, “I’ll stay here and keep watch, if he wakes up,tomm attend to him immediately”
lan approved of her decision and promptly offered, “In that case, I’ll fetch you a blanket, it must be troublesome for you to sleep on the sofa.” ”
Neera nodded, acknowledging, “Thank you, it’s no trouble”
With that, she turned her gaze toward Jean.
The man was in a deep slumber, his complexion still a touch pallid
Yet even in this state, his exceptional and handsome features remained undeniable.
Seated beside the bed, Neera could not help but marvel at his striking face.
We’re all people, how could he be this handsome and capable?
Perhaps the only flaw he had was due to his sickness,
She sighed, her thoughts drifting away, and gradually, weariness overcame her
Eventually, she settled down on the floor beside the bed and drifted into sleep…
Jean woke up at dawn,
Pain surged through him as if a multitude of ants were relentlessly gnawing at his brain’s nerves.
Initially, he endured it, waiting for the pain to subside.
However, over time, the pain intensified, its frequency escalating.
Clamping his teeth together, he persevered, but the agony grew progressively intolerable, the attacks quickening,
Gritting his teeth with determination, he got up to find painkillers,
He was afraid that if this continued, he might go crazy
Neera’s slumber was light, and she woke up from the movement nearby.
She rubbed her eyes, approached Jean’s bed, and examined him.
She saw his furrowed brows and he might have had another attack.
“What are you doing?” she inquired gently, her voice a soothing murmur
Jean drew a deep breath, enduring the pulsating ache in his forehead, and responded in a h oar se whisper, “….
need medicine.”
A faint amusement tinged Neera’s tone, “I’m right here, it’s not like you can’t see me. If you don’t call me, how are you going to find the medicine?”
With that, she rose to her feet, continuing, “Plus, considering your condition right now, it might be best to avoid medication. Just lie back down. I’ll help you.”
Jean was in so much agony that he did not have much strength at all, so he let her help him lie down,
Swiftly, Neera retrieved a silver needle that she prepared nearby. Selecting a suitable length, she explained nonchalantly, “I saw that you were in pain from the treatment tonight and I expected something to happen in the middle of the night. So, I stayed here to take care of you, please bear with me.”
She deftly inserted needles into several prominent acupuncture points across his body.
“Another… dry needling session?” Jean asked weakly, sensing the tenderness surrounding the pri cked points.
Neera paused and answered, “No, I’m just pric kling a few points and I’ll massage the other acupuncture points later. This is to prevent you from relying too much on dry needling treatment. Plus, you’ve been taking medicine frequently. So, it’s safest to proceed step by step.”
Jean understood her intentions and nodded slightly. “I’ll leave it to you then.”
Neera responded with silence, gently rubbing her hands before proceeding to massage the acupuncture points on Jean’s body.
Her technique was both precise and expert, a testament to years of dedicated study.
Initially consumed by the pain, Jean scarcely registered anything beyond the sensations coursing through his body.
However, as time went by and the pain gradually subsided, a growing awareness stirred within him…
Neera’s delicate and adept hands seemed to traverse his entire body!
As he realized this, his gaze deepened, resembling a bottomless pool.
He endured the situation for a while, but when Neera’s touch eventually descended upon an acupuncture point on his lower abdomen, he could not hold back anymore. Seizing her wrist, his voice hoarse as he declared, “That’s enough, I don’t feel pain anymore!”
