Chapter 3238 It's Killing Him!
Chapter 3238 It's Killing Him!
Karen felt sorry for her son, but when she heard Luca say she could stop anytime, she dared not tell her to stop.
If they stopped now, everything they did today would have been for nothing!
Karen looked at Pierre, planning to let him make the decision himself.
Pierre clenched his teeth and said, "Keep going."
Luca could not help but secretly exclaim. It was not that Pierre could not endure the pain. If enduring the pain meant he could stand up normally again, he would endure as much as it took.
She continued with the dry needling treatment without giving him a moment to catch his breath.
Pierre felt like cursing, but when he saw the serious expression on Luca's face, he held back.
The dry needling treatment lasted for half an hour. Luca used two packs of needles before stopping. "Alright, now we wait."
"Wait for what?" Karen immediately asked.
"Wait for half an hour to remove the needles and for the damaged nerves inside to repair themselves," explained Luca.
Karen immediately pressed a knife to Vivian's neck when she heard this.
Luca narrowed her eyes. "What are you doing?!"
Karen said bluntly, "I'm worried you'll pull a fast one, so I have to do this. Once Pierre's treatment is done, I'll let this woman go."
Luca scoffed. Karen was not completely dumb, after all. "Then you'd better be careful. If she's hurt, I'll make sure your son is crippled!"
"Do you dare?!" Karen's hand that was holding the knife paused for a moment.
*You can watch and see if I dare," Luca reminded her as she narrowed her eyes.
Karen clenched her teeth. She sat down next to Vivian, her gaze fierce.
Luca sat on another couch. Since no one was holding a knife to her, she sat comfortably and looked at Vivian, who was being held hostage. "Vivian, be careful. This woman's hand isn't steady. Don't get hurt." Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.
Vivian glanced at Karen's trembling hand and replied, "She won't lose her grip on the knife, will she?"
"Probably not," answered Luca.
They were conversing in Russian.
Neither Pierre nor Karen understood.
Feeling insecure, Karen said to Luca, "What are you jabbering about?! Speak in English."
Luca rolled her eyes. "Madam Mallory, do you even have to control what language we speak too?"
Karen was about to say something, but Vivian interrupted her, "We're being held hostage, and there's nothing we can do. We can't even speak in Russian now?"
Karen wanted to say it was not forbidden. It was just that she was worried they were planning something bad in another language.
Before she could speak, Luca added, "You have people downstairs too. Even if we plan something in Russian, could we escape?"
Karen was at a loss for words.
If it were just Luca, she might actually escape.
However, with Vivian, who had a complicated identity, it would not be easy...
"Hmph! If you think you're so tough, try speaking Russian for the rest of your lives." Karen let out a cold snort. Being talked to like this made her feel that restricting their language was not necessary.
Luca and Vivian continued their conversation.
Luca asked Vivian about funny stories that happened in university, using this topic to distract her.
Vivian understood and started sharing amusing stories from her university.
As she told her the stories, Luca laughed out loud, amused by her tales.
Vivian laughed along too.
Karen's expression was dark as she watched them laugh so freely despite being held hostage.
It seemed like she and Pierre were the ones kidnapped instead.
She glanced at Pierre, who was lying on the bed.
His eyes were closed, and his brows were furrowed together. He was clearly in pain.
Luca had mentioned that the treatment would be painful and he had to endure it. Hence, Karen dared not to say anything. There was nothing she could do but watch Pierre endure the pain. Her heart ached.
Half an hour later, Luca slowly rose to her feet.
Karen raised the knife higher. "What are you doing?"
"It's time to remove the needles," replied Luca as she walked toward the bed.
Pierre let out a sigh of relief when he heard that.
It was excruciating.
It was even worse than the dry needling treatment he had in the hospital.
The treatment he received only hurt when he moved, but this one hurt constantly even if he did not move!
That burning pain was unbearable, almost killing him!
Karen felt relaxed a little.
Luca started removing the needles slowly. Each removal brought a fresh wave of pain for Pierre.
Pierre could feel that Luca was deliberately doing it slowly. He wanted to urge her to hurry up and stop torturing him. However, those words never went out of his mouth.
Asking Luca for a favor was not a good idea.
He just had to endure it.
After removing all the needles, Luca counted them to ensure everything was in order. Then, she stood up and looked at Karen. "Madam Mallory, I've done my part. Can we leave now?"
Karen frowned and exchanged a glance with Pierre before shaking her head with a smile. "It's not that simple."
Luca raised an eyebrow. Was Karen going back on her word?
She had expected that things would not be so simple.
Karen had put so much effort and resources into kidnapping her. It could not just be for one dry needling treatment session.
However, since they chose Mallory Estate, they probably did not plan to keep her for long.
Luca remained silent, waiting for them to reveal their intentions.
*Come in," Karen called out to the people outside.
Then, two people pushed the bedroom door open and walked in.
It was a man and a woman, one older and one younger.
Luca looked at Karen, wondering what she was planning.
*The footage is all on that computer. Dr. Schwartz, you can check it yourself," said Karen.
*Alright," replied the older doctor. He glanced curiously at Luca before heading to the computer.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
He was an older man who did not know how to use a computer, so the young woman, likely Dr. Schwartz's assistant, helped pull up the surveillance footage.
Luca immediately understood.
Karen explained, "I know you're unwilling to treat Pierre, so I had to come up with this plan. We recorded the dry needling treatment session so that Dr. Schwartz can replicate it later."
"Oh." Luca's expression remained calm.
She already figured out that the numerous cameras in the room were for this purpose, so she was not surprised.
She did not expect that even after performing dry needling on Pierre, she still could not leave. She was stuck here to teach Dr. Schwartz.
She figured that Karen would force her to answer any questions Dr. Schwartz had.
Luca started speaking to Vivian in Russian again.
Pierre wanted to tell the women to be quiet so that Dr. Schwartz could focus. However, since he still needed Luca,
he held back.
Dr. Schwartz and his assistant sat in front of the computer, watching the surveillance footage, frequently glancing between Luca and the screen. They were puzzled by her unique dry needling techniques.
They were probably secretly exclaiming, "This is unbelievable!"
Karen invited them, promising that if they leamed Luca's methods, they would be the ones to treat Pierre.
Moreover, the treatment fees offered were extremely high.
Hence, they agreed to it.
At the same time, Karen wamed them that Luca's dry needling techniques differed from traditional methods. However, they did not take it seriously.
