Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 199

Graham and Hector were extremely nervous when they heard the patient scream. They wanted to speak, but they were afraid of disturbing Annalise’s concentration. If something happened to Annalise because they disturbed her, wouldn’t she blame them?

They tried to hold their breath and not speak. Annalise climbed onto the bed and pressed her leg against the patient’s waist. She then grabbed the patient’s leg with both hands and pulled it backward. “Ah… It hurts so much. Oh, god…” The patient shouted and gasped in pain.

Annalise turned around again and pressed her other leg on the patient’s waist. She wrapped around his shoulder with one arm, and with the other, she pulled on his arm. She pulled him back hard.

“Oh, God. Please… It hurts so much…” The patient was in such pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. “Graham, do me a favor,” Annalise said. “Okay. What can I do?” Graham asked. When Annalise pulled backward twice, his heart almost stopped with fear.

However, he felt that what Annalise was doing could work. He noticed that the patient only felt pain and did not give any impression of fainting. “Hector, I need your help, too,” Annalise glanced at the patient and said to Hector. Hector immediately went over. Annalise asked Graham and Hector to stand on both sides of the bed. Each of them would press down on one of the patient’s shoulders.

“Get in position. In a while, when I give you the signal, press harder,” Annalise said. “You must press hard.” “Isn’t this… too harsh? Will he be alright?” Graham was a little worried about this method. “Listen to me. Nothing will happen,” Annalise said. “Alright… Alright.” Graham was still a little flustered.

Annalise leaned forward and said to the patient, “Sir, short-term pain is better than long-term pain. Believe me. I can treat you. It’s just that the current treatment process will be a little painful because all the bones in your body are deformed. Now we want to put your bones back in the right position. The process is going to be painful. Bear with it. It won’t hurt anymore once your bones are straightened.” “Alright… I’ll bear with it. Ouch… It hurts so much.” The patient cried out again.

However, his cries were much louder than when he started the treatment. Graham and Hector looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes. Annalise hugged the patient’s head with both hands. As she raised his head, she said to Graham and Hector, “Press!”

The two traditional medicine practitioners immediately pressed down on the patient’s shoulders. “Ah… I’m dizzy. I’m going to throw up. I’m going to…” The patient groaned in pain. Annalise gently put the patient’s head back and said, “Sir, hold on a little longer.”

She gently raised the old man’s head again and shouted, “Press!” Quickly, the two old traditional medicine practitioners pressed down on the patient’s shoulders again. The patient shouted that he was dizzy again. “Dizzy… I’m dizzy. I’m going to throw up…” The patient began to retch.

‘Sir, hang in there. Just one more time will do. Just imagine how wonderful it was when you had none of this pain.” Annalise said as she gently lifted the patient’s head. This time, she did not ask Graham and Hector to press again.

She held the patient’s forehead with one hand and pressed her thumb against the acupoint at the back of the patient’s head with the other. She pressed down and slowly traced over his meridians. “Oh…” The patient heaved a comfortable sigh. Annalise held the patient’s forehead and repeatedly pressed on several acupoints.

However, this was not an acupuncture technique. Instead, she was using the force of her hand to adjust the patient’s bone and press the protruding discs back into place. In such situations, the technique was most important. Annalise was thankful that she had learned boxing. Otherwise, she would not have had the strength. After pushing more than ten times, the patient stopped grunting.

Annalise was so tired that she was sweating profusely. Carefully, she lowered the patient’s head and got up from the bed. She asked someone to turn the patient over slowly and lay him flat.
