Chapter 87
Millle wasnât part of their restaurant staff, and if anything happened to Sebastian because of her, the restaurant couldnât take responsibility.
âIâll take responsibility for anything that happens!â Sebastian said seriously.
Millie couldnât help but chuckle. Sebastian really did trust her, and she would be sure not to let that trust down.
Millie laid out her acupuncture needles.
Her needles looked intimidating and stood out in their kit.
Sebastian began to look closely at the needles she was holding. Why did those needles look so familiar?
Millie looked at Sebastian while she put one hand on his swollen, purple leg. âIâm about to begin, sir.â
Sebastian nodded in response.
After that, Millie immediately put a needle into his leg.
Sebastian thought it would hurt, but strangely enough, he didnât feel pain at all.
At first, he thought it was a lucky coincidence. But it didnât hurt even after a dozen or so needles in his leg.
This was miraculous! There were acupuncturists with decades of experience in his hospital and yet none of them could make acupuncture feel completely painless.
How was this young lady so talented?
âDoes it still hurt?â Millie looked up at Sebastian.
He nodded and said honestly, âIt hasnât gone away at all.â
I
The crowd began to chatter again. âWhat the hell? I thought she was a professional! Did she do all that for nothing?â
âSo all of that was just for show. We should just wait for the ambulance.â
âSo she was just putting on an act all along!â
Millie swiftly placed the last needle into his leg amidst their mockery. It was the most important spot
the very nerve that was twitching wildly.
Less than ten seconds after the needle was placed, Sebastianâs expression became shocked as he exclaimed, âIt doesnât hurt anymore!â
The crowd stared at Sebastian.
It didnât hurt anymore?
Millie smiled. Her acupuncture would never just be âan actâ.

She had always been confident in her acupuncture skills. If she hadnât been, she would never have volunteered in the first place.
âItâs a cramp caused by standing for long periods. You didnât give your cramps any time to rest and heal, so it became actual muscle tension and nerve cramps,â Millie explained to Sebastian.
She continued, âIf you donât treat it in time, your leg would have had to be amputated.â
Millie was right. His leg turning purple had been a very clear sign. That meant his blood flow was being constricted, and that was a huge problem.
He couldnât help but ask, âWho are you? What family are you from? Have you ever studied medicine?â
âNot professionally. I just figured some things out on my own,â Millie said as she stood up. She looked at the time and said, âTake those out after 40 minutes, okay? I have other things to attend to.â
After that, Millie made to leave the area.
Sebastian said, âPlease give me your name at least, young lady.â
Millie didnât reply. She wormed her way past the crowd and walked out of the hall without looking
back.
A hero never revealed themselves. They only helped whenever and wherever they were needed.
Her name wasnât important.
She didnât want to expose herself. She planned to get in a cab dressed in her getâup and take it off on the way there before making her way back to Rachel.
âHey! Young lady!â Sebastian called after Millie, but she was walking away much too quickly.
The crowd was in shock. âDoes it really not hurt anymore?â
It was better than that. His purple leg had begun to go back to its normal skin tone.
Sebastian stared at the needles in his leg and widened his eyes in shock.
That acupuncture technique wasâ¦
He studied the needles closely and saw an âMâ engraved on the needles.
His eyes seemed to have widened into the size of saucers.
Was that�
Was that Milla Webson, the famous doctor who had disappeared three years ago?
