Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3367

Over the next few days, Luca continued helping Shanks take care of the volunteer.

With Luke by her side, she felt much more at ease and was no longer as anxious.

A week later, Shanks performed a basic neurological test on the volunteer.

The man who had previously shown no response in his calves and feet began to feel sensations of itching and pain.

When Luca saw the volunteer's toes twitch slightly, she could not help but feel excited.

“I can feel it! It’s ticklish, so ticklish!” the volunteer exclaimed loudly.

At that moment, Shanks was tickling the volunteer's foot.

When he heard the volunteer’s words, his furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and he pinched the volunteer’s calf.

Since the volunteer’s nerves were still healing, he had little sensation of pain, so Shanks pinched hard.

“Do you feel it?” asked Shanks.

“It hurts... a little!” replied the volunteer, his tone full of excitement.

This was a positive sign for him.

The volunteer, unable to walk yet, felt the urge to jump for joy.

“My legs have been numb for five years! I haven't been able to feel anything for five years, and now, I actually feel something! I’m not dreaming, am I?” As he spoke, tears filled his eyes.

His legs were healing, and that meant his eyesight could recover too. The thought made the volunteer even more joyful. He would not only be able to walk again but also see again.

“You’re not dreaming.” Aside from discussing medical matters during treatment, Shanks was usually unwilling to engage in casual conversation. However, he responded to the volunteer’s question this time.

Luca could sense that despite Shanks’ calm exterior, he was thrilled on the inside.

Shanks continued with a few more tests, asking the volunteer to perform some simple movements. Some were possible, others were not.

He was not fully satisfied with the progress and told Luca, “We’ll increase the dosage from today onward. The dose will go up to ten milliliters.”

“Okay.”

After Shanks left, Luca put on her medical gloves and administered the injection to the volunteer.

She followed Shanks’ instructions and increased the dosage. As soon as the needle pierced the skin, the volunteer reacted with excitement again.

“I can feel it again! I feel the needle!”

“Does it hurt?” asked Luca.

“A little, but it’s okay,” answered the volunteer. “It’s been five years. Finally, I can feel something again. Do you know how happy I am?”

“I can tell,” Luca said with a faint smile on her face.

After the injection, she instructed the volunteer to rest properly, then grabbed the used medical supplies and left the room.

Luke was standing nearby, leaning against the wall, seemingly waiting for her.

“How did it go?” asked Luke. “I heard a lot of excitement from inside.”

“Why are you so concerned?” Luca deliberately put on a displeased expression, then quietly added, “He can feel pain now.”

Luke was surprised and responded loudly, “I was just asking. What, can’t I ask?”

Luca ignored him and directly walked into the lab.

Shanks was sitting in a chair, looking at the experimental data.

After disposing of the medical waste, Luca reported, “The injection had an effect on him. I gave him a few shots, and the response was most noticeable around the knee.”

“Okay.” Shanks nodded, not saying anything further.

“Mr. Shanks, can we determine the maximum dosage for a single injection now?” asked Luca. It had been a couple of days, yet they still had not figured out the maximum dosage, which had become a difficult research problem.
