Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 205

Everyone looked at the blackened silver needles in surprise Old Mr. Graham and Old Mr. Hector had come with Annalise Barton and the others, with the intention to welcome Master Quigley together. After that, when they saw Annalise rushing over, they did not know what had happened and followed her as well.

Following that, they saw Old Mr. Parks convulsing uncontrollably and his eyes kept rolling upwards. Immediately after that, Annalise performed a series of smooth operations with practiced ease. The two elderly men stared without blinking. Now that they saw the silver needles had turned black, they exchanged looks with each other and felt very impressed with Annalise’s medical skills inwardly.

Then they heard Annalise say, “Mr. Graham, please help me get a set of fire cups for cupping therapy.” “Sure, sure. I’ll go get them immediately.” Old Mr. Graham was very happy to run errands for Annalise.” There was a room set aside for traditional medicine practitioners in the exhibition center. There were some simple medical tools inside.

Old Mr. Graham was in his sixties, but he was very sprightly and ran very quickly. In less than five minutes, he had brought the fire cups over, huffing and panting as he did so. Annalise began to remove the acupuncture needles. Jonathan Woods also followed suit. Annalise reached out to check Samuel’s pulse again.

After she induced vomiting and neutralized the poison using the silver needles, Samuel’s condition was much better than before. He would improve further if Annalise used cupping therapy with heat to extract more poisoned blood. However, in Samuel’s condition, the damage to his body could not be ascertained at all. How long would it take for his body to recover?

Without further thought, Annalise took the fire cups and prepared to administer cupping therapy for Samuel. She had to roll up Samuel’s trouser legs to administer acupuncture just now.

For the acupoints higher up, she couldn’t pull up the trouser legs, so she inserted those few needles through the fabric based on her instincts. There was no way to perform cupping therapy through the trousers’ fabric. Furthermore, it was not easy to perform this kind of therapy on the legs. Annalise thought for a moment and chose a few acupoints below Samuel’s thigh.

Gwen Raven had also studied traditional medicine since she was young. When she saw Annalise was preparing to administer cupping therapy, she said, “Mrs. Parks, it’s indeed very helpful to the body to extract some poisoned blood using cupping therapy after the acupuncture treatment. But you should know that it is impossible to apply the cupping vessels on the legs firmly. If the cupping vessels cannot be affixed securely, the therapy is totally useless. I suggest that we immediately take the opportunity now to send Old Mr. Parks for gastric lavage treatment.” Annalise glanced at Gwen indifferently. She reached out and touched Samuel’s leg. Then, she affixed a glass cup on his leg firmly. The flame expelled the air from the cup, and the cup remained attached to Samuel’s leg tightly.

As the cup was placed in the same spot where acupuncture was done just now, a drop of blood was sucked out the moment the air pressure dropped. The drop of blood was black and looked especially conspicuous under the glass cup.

Gwen was utterly speechless. Annalise’s action was a direct slap in the face for Gwen. She had no way to respond to Annalise. Gwen stared fixedly at the cups in disbelief. She had tried administering cupping therapy on legs before, but she couldn’t get sufficient suction for the cups to stick firmly.

Even if she managed to get the cups to stick to the skin, they would drop off after more than ten seconds at most. If the patient was particularly fat and had a lot of flesh, the suction effect would be better. It was impossible to affix the cups with suction firmly on someone as thin as the Old Mr. Parks. Yet, Annalise actually accomplished this. How did she do it? Was Annalise really such a great doctor? That was impossible!

Gwen had studied traditional medicine since she was young. When she grew up, she also studied modern medicine. Not only did she undergo formal professional training, but she was also very hardworking. That was how she had attained her achievements at this point in her life.
