Chapter 19 Amazing Medical Skills Kent forcibly supported Julian into the guest room. However, Julian stretched out his hand to push Kent away. Kent came forward again and helped Julian into the guest room. Smelling the fragrance of her body, Julian subconsciously leaned toward Annalise. Immediately, Kent helped him up. The two sent Julian into the guest room together. “Anna, I think Julian is drunk. Go and make him a glass of honey water.” Kent wanted to get Annalise to leave. With what consciousness he had left, Julian reached out and grabbed Annalise’s wrist, not letting her go. Annalise said to Kent, “Uncle Kent, could you get Mary to make it?” “All right.” Kent’s eyes glinted. He thought, “I can get Abbie to send the honey water into the room, then think of a way to get rid of Annalise. I’m sure Annalise wants the shares that her mother left her.” After Kent left the room, Annalise locked the door straight away. “Lie down!” Annalise barked. Julian immediately did as told. Annalise touched Julian’s wrist with her fingers to check his pulse. As their skin grazed each other, Julian grabbed Annalise’s wrist and pulled her into his embrace. Annalise fell into Julian’s arms, her tips touching his because of the impact. Suddenly, Julian hissed in pain. Annalise had inserted a silver needle into him. She had only agreed to let Kent send Julian into the guest room because of the silver needles she had always carried with her. Otherwise, she would have driven Julian to the hospital when he had passed her the
keys just now. While he was still in pain, Annalise inserted two more silver needles into the back of his hand. There are many capillaries on the back of a hand, and the pain could keep Julian awake.
Indeed, his burning eyes regained a moment of clarity shortly after. Seeing that Julian was awake, Annalise said, “I’m just helping you with the poison. Don’t overthink it.” She then quickly unbuckled his belt. She was terrible at it, as she had never done it before. Once she was done, her face and ears flushed red. Nevertheless, she could not care less about the situation. Decisively and skillfully, she inserted another needle into Julian’s acupoints. Her actions were smooth. After inserting the needle, she quickly twisted it and it vibrated slightly. In only a few seconds, she had inserted about eight needles into Julian’s acupoints. If someone were to spectate the situation, they would know that she was a professional in acupuncture who was on par with traditional medicine practitioners who had decades of experience. “Take a deep breath!” said Annalise sternly. Julian followed Annalise’s instructions. Sure enough, he could think better after taking a deep breath. However, a while later, the effects of the drug kicked in again. Julian grabbed onto Annalise’s wrist, but Annalise quickly dodged it and pierced him with another needle. Noticing the change in Julian’s expression, Annalise raised a hand, wanting to hit the back of his neck. Immediately, Julian tilted his head and dodged the attack.
As he avoided her, Annalise quickly and accurately inserted a few more needles into his acupoints, causing him to yelp in pain. Annalise did not stop there and inserted more needles. Only after inserting more than 20 needles into his body did Annalise stop. “Bear with it!” said Annalise. “S-Stop talking!” Julian said through gritted teeth. Right now, he could not stand listening to her voice. If he did, all their hard work would go to waste. Annalise looked at Julian and kept quiet. After that, she stood up and went to the bathroom. She grabbed a towel, soaked it, and placed it on Julian’s forehead to help lower his temperature. Julian continued to take deep breaths. Every time he did it, he would feel better and more clear-headed. Annalise raised her head and looked at the clock on the wall. She thought, “It’s been three minutes since I inserted the needles. These acupoints have miraculous effects on getting rid of the poison. Barring accidents, Julian will be fine in ten minutes.” Right then, Annalise heard the sound of someone twisting the doorknob. Realizing that Annalise had locked the door, Kent shouted anxiously, “Anna, open the door!” He had already prepared the honey water and called Abigail to come over. “Anna, open the door. I can help take care of Julian,” yelled Abigail, who was also at the door. She had wanted to check on Julian’s condition immediately. After all, she was worried about Julian and Annalise being together in a room. However, Alexander had stopped her and had a word with her. She did not expect Annalise to lock the door. “Anna, open the door!” Kent shouted again.
Annalise narrowed her eyes. She looked toward the door, then at the clock on the wall. “If I let them in now, Julian will look bad in front of them. I’ll let them wait for another few minutes,” she mused, Suddenly, Julian sat up from the bed. Annalise turned to look at him. Seeing the depth and clarity in his eyes, Annalise breathed a sigh of relief. Julian beckoned her over with a finger, and she moved closer to him. “No… I-I can’t possibly say that,” was Annalise’s response after Julian whispered something in her ear. Julian reached out and squeezed Annalise’s waist. “Ah, fuck!” Annalise cursed. Julian flashed a smirk upon hearing Annalise curse. Just as he was about to squeeze her waist again, she quickly stopped him, “Don’t…” Julian grinned and pouted at Annalise. Annalise looked toward the door and thought, “Although there is a door between us, I can feel that Abigail is anxious.” “Anna, open the door. I’m a doctor. I can treat Julian. Can you let me check on Julian’s condition?” Abigail tried her best to speak in a low voice. However, she could not suppress the anxiety in her. “Hey, not so hard…” Annalise said on purpose, feeling somewhat delighted when she heard the uneasiness in Abigail’s voice. “Anna, open up!” Kent was a bundle of nerves as he listened to the sound coming from the room. He frowned and looked at Abigail.. “Knock the door down!” Abigail said through clenched teeth. Just then, Alexander and Tony came over. “What’s the matter? What are they doing in there?” asked Alexander. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Alexander could tell that Abigail had not given up on Julian. He thought, “She thinks of me as a backup, and at the same time, she wants to sleep with Julian. At last, Annalise beat her to it. Haha. I’ve purposely stalled her just now. Does she really think I want to talk with her? I’ve been through many stuff. Of course, I know what’s going on in her wicked mind. Does she really think I’m a love-struck idiot who is deeply in love with her? I show interest in her because she is slightly better than Annalise, and I can embarrass Julian with her,” Tony’s face darkened when he heard the weird noises coming from the room. He ordered, “Alexander, break. down the door!” “Dad, I… don’t think it’s good.” Alexander wanted to add some spice to the situation. In fact, he had been waiting for his father to give the order. “Do it!” Tony roared. He was purple with rage.
