Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3239

After watching the footage, Dr. Schwartz finally realized what Karen meant by different.

The dry needling technique in the video was completely different from what he had learned.

The air conditioning in the room was just right, but Dr. Schwartz was sweating bullets.

He had a contract with Karen.

The contract required him to learn the dry needling technique in the footage and use it to treat Pierre. However, he had no idea how to perform this strange new method.

His assistant glanced at him and said in a low voice, “Professor, we've never seen this dry needling technique before. What should we do?”

Dr. Schwartz wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Is this some new type of dry needling technique?”

“It shouldn't be. I've read tons of literature, and none of it mentions a new dry needling technique coming out of A City. What do we do now?”

Even though Dr. Schwartz’s assistant's medical skills were not as advanced as his, she knew that this technique would be hard for them to learn.

Even if they repeatedly studied the footage, they would not be able to figure out the correct needle positions.

“What happens if we break the contract?” asked Dr. Schwartz.

“We'd have to pay a penalty. We can't afford that, professor,” the assistant reminded him.

By now, Dr. Schwartz was not only sweating from his forehead but also from his back.

They spoke in hushed tones, making Karen and Pierre think they were just studying the footage.

However, Luca heard their conversation clearly.

She had no intention of helping the two doctors. She sat there, relaxed.

Ten minutes later, Pierre asked, “How's the research going?”

Dr. Schwartz bit the bullet and replied, “This technique is quite unusual. We need more time to study it.”

“You don't have much time left.” Luca was not trying to make things difficult for the doctors. She was just speaking the truth.

At this point, lectures had already started at the university.

So, the university would know she had not shown up and would try to contact her.

If they were unable to reach her, they would contact Evan, who would then reach out to Luke.

Gale and his team were probably looking for her now.

Karen shot her a look, “What do you mean?”

“It's been two hours. The university already knows I'm missing,” replied Luca.

“You're just missing one class. Do you think they'll care?” Karen scoffed, knowing that Luke would come but doubting he would arrive quickly.

“Yeah, they won't.” Luca smiled and said no more.

Dr. Schwartz did not fully understand what was happening, but when he saw Karen wielding a knife at a foreign woman, he could guess a bit.

“Professor, maybe we should just come clean…” suggested Dr. Schwartz assistant. She reckoned that the unbound young woman was the one who performed the dry needling on Pierre.

Even though they did not know if the technique would work, their client required them to learn it, so they had no choice but to ask for help.

Dr. Schwartz, trying to save his dignity, pretended not to hear his assistant's suggestion.

When the assistant noticed that, she said straightforwardly, “Professor, if we let this drag on, we're really going to break the contract.”

Although Pierre could not hear what they were saying, he could tell they were stalling without making any progress. Hence, he urged, “Have you learned it yet?”

Dr. Schwartz had no choice but to stand up reluctantly. He gave Pierre an apologetic look, then turned to Karen with the same expression.

“Madam Mallory, this dry needling technique is too new and strange. I don't even think those acupoints exist. I've never learned something like this before,” admitted Dr. Schwartz.
