Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1952

"Hello, Dr. Craw," Dr. Wood greeted her as Johann did.

"Hello. We’re about to start. Family members, please wait outside." Luca's tone was cold. Unlike other doctors, she took no notice of the feelings of patients and their family members.

Mrs. Hugh stood up and walked outside the ward.

Keith wanted to stay but was pulled away by Larry. "Come on. You being here will only affect the doctor's mood and the treatment."

Nina glanced at Luca. She thought long needles as such were scary, so she left the ward as well.

Luca asked Johann, "Where are the medical gloves?"

"I'll get them for you." Johann turned around and grabbed two pairs of gloves from a cabinet by the door. One pair was for Luca, while the other one was for Dr. Wood.

Dr. Wood looked at Luca's sterilized needles and asked, "Dr. Craw, are you going to use this set of needles to treat the patient?"

"Yes." Luca patted Tyrone who had his eyes closed and said, "Take off your clothes and lie down with your back facing us."

Tyrone opened his eyes and said as he slowly took off his hospital gown, "Doctor, please be gentle. I have a low tolerance toward pain."

Luca smiled helplessly when she heard what he said. "If you’re scared of pain, why did you get into a fight with someone in the first place? Lie down. It won't hurt."

Tyrone’s movements were slow. After he took off his gown, he slowly lay down.

Dr. Wood said, "These needles don't look like the needles I see outside."

"My needles are all made to order. When you treat him, you can just use ordinary needles." Luca liked to use these needles because she has always used this set when she was learning and training. She was used to them. After she left the Island of Despair, she was unwilling to make a swap.

"Okay," Dr. Wood said.

"I’ll only demonstrate once. The next time, you’ll do it with me at the side guiding you. Many of the spots where I’ll insert the needles are different from what you learned in medical school. You can record a video for later viewing," Luca said. If she had the time, she would not let a doctor learn from her.

She did not like to teach others. She learned her skills from Shanks, and her knowledge was different from what was in textbooks. Some people would use their medical knowledge to ask 100,000 whys and have her explain the tiniest things. She did not have the patience for that.

"I'll record. You talk," Johann spoke from the side. He had a patient who was not in a critical situation but was about to go into the operating room. However, he wanted to watch Luca treat Tyrone, so he postponed the operation for an hour.

He picked up his phone and found a spot that would not get in the way of Luca and Dr. Wood.

Luca started to insert the needles. She was worried that Dr. Wood could not figure out the locations, so she explained as she was going through the processes.

She paid close attention to Tyrone throughout the treatment.

The whole process could be done in ten minutes, but it took her half an hour to insert the needles in the key acupoints.

Dr. Wood watched her take off her gloves and could not help but say with admiration, "This is different from what I studied in medical school. Dr. Park, did you record it? I’ll have to watch it several times."

"It's recorded. Don't worry. I'll send it to you later." Johann was also amazed at Luca's dry needling method. After he saved the video, he wanted to ask her where she learned it from.

However, considering Luca's identity, he knew that she would not say anything, so he dismissed the thought.

Luca stood by the bed, looked at Tyrone, and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere in your body?"

Tyrone did not dare to move due to her previous warning, so he could only answer slowly in a muffled voice, "I feel some muscles on my back… They’re throbbing..."

Mrs. Hugh had been worried sick about Tyrone. She was the first who walked in. She asked with concern, "Tyrone, how do you feel Does it hurt? Do you feel any discomfort?"

Tyrone shook his head slowly, his response still very slow. "It doesn't hurt. On the contrary, I feel a little more comfortable."

Keith sneered when he saw how Tyrone was. "What does being comfortable do?! Tyrone, you need proper treatment. Being comfortable can't cure you. Some are good at boasting but don’t have the capabilities to match!”

Luca ignored his harsh words. She looked at Tyrone and said, "Tyrone, try and smile."

"I still have to smile?" That was the first time he smiled since he was hospitalized, but everyone had looked at him weirdly. He did not want to smile in front of them again.

"Smile," Luca said forcefully.

Tyrone had to try to squeeze a smile.

Nina kept looking and noticed that Tyrone’s smile was not as distorted. Although it was still weird, it was clear that he was doing much better than before. A trace of a smile could be seen!

"That's impressive!" she said.

Luca said to everyone, “He’ll get better with treatment. His face is the most serious in terms of damage, so the effectiveness of the treatment will be most obvious there. It’ll be noticeable even after one session. For the other issues, it’s necessary to continue with dry needling for them to improve.”

"Okay, as long as he can get better." Mrs. Hugh had noticed her son's changes as well and was impressed by Luca.

She was glad that Tyrone did not shoo her off. Otherwise, they were unsure when he could be treated.

"What's so impressive about what she did? Isn't it just dry needling? Any doctor can do it!" Keith still refused to accept Luca.
