Chapter 1360 Cure You With Acupuncture
âDo you know the use of an acupuncture treatment room?â A mischievous smile bloomed on Juanâs face as he crossed his arms.
âYup. Itâs for treating diseases and saving lives,â Sally replied.
âMy mother is an apprentice of an expert in acupuncture, and her skills are superb. I, too, have liked acupuncture since young. As such, I hope that my future girlfriend will also like it. So, do you have any interest in it? If you donât, we donât need to waste our time anymore.â
Right then, Juan was dead certain that Sally had an ulterior motive in approaching the Seet family. Therefore, she would go along and agree no matter what he said.
Sure enough, Sally answered, âAlthough Iâve never been exposed to acupuncture, I know that treating diseases and saving lives is a good thing. I think Iâll like it.â
Youâll like it? Great!
A triumphant smile flickered across Juanâs eyes. âShall we go in and have a look, then?â
Sally nodded in acquiescence.
Juan walked in front and led the way. It was an acupuncture treatment room his mother once used. Nicoleâs acupuncture hospital was still under construction, and she even mentioned the day before that she was going to move everything there to the acupuncture hospital once it was done.
Eyeing the medical equipment in there, Sally frowned. âWhat are these things?â
âThese are all medical equipment. Some are used for an in-vitro diagnostic of patients, while others are used in conjunction with silver needles during treatment. All of them are very expensive, so donât touch them!â
Sally nodded in acknowledgment as she scrutinized the complicated machines.
I really know nothing about all this, nor do I have any interest. Thus, I donât want to touch them even if it were fine to do so!
In the next instant, Juan abruptly suggested, âAre you in good health? Do you suffer from backache and the like, or are you feeling unwell anywhere? I can diagnose and treat you.â
âAre you well-versed in this?â Sally wore a dubious expression.
âThereâs a saying about learning something through long-time observation, no? My mother is an expert in this, and Iâve watched her work since young!â
After saying that, a glimmer of craftiness glinted in Juanâs eyes. He was all smiles as he looked at Sally. âHow about this? Iâll give you a checkup first. If you need acupuncture, Iâll do it for you free of charge! What do you think?â
Sallyâs brows scrunched together.
Hmph! How noble-sounding when his real motive is to jab me with silver needles! This is the first time he asked me out, yet heâs already planning to get physical with me. How ruthless! Anyway, Iâve got nothing important today, so Iâll play along with him!
âSure. Thank you in advance then, Mr. Juan.â
Surprise inundated Juan at her easy acquiescence. Iâve just prepared a ton of remarks of how itâll benefit her to persuade her into agreeing, but I never expected it to have been all in vain. Ah, thatâs quite a pity!
âIn that case, lie down first. Iâll use the machine to give you a checkup.â
âOkay.â
Casting him a sidelong glance, Sally lay down on the examination bed. Juan then activated the machine.
In truth, he had no idea how to conduct a checkup. The so-called checkup was only a formality so that he would have a valid reason to jab her with needles.
After he pressed several buttons, numbers started appearing on the display screen of the machine. Juan looked at the figures with a frown marring his countenance, shaking his head while sighing interminably.
âOh no, your health is looking really bad. Youâve got a spinal disease, so you suffer from backaches. Your waist doesnât look all that good either. And your legâ¦â
How does he know that my health is lacking everywhere when the data is still running? Hah! Heâs just saying that to pave the way for him to jab me a few more times!
âSo, do I need acupuncture? How many needles do I need?â Sally inquired.
Turning to her, Juan regarded her with a sympathetic gaze. âYou really donât take care of yourself usually, huh? Look at how bad your health is. Everything isnât quite right with you. But donât worry. Iâll do my best to cure you with acupuncture. I promise that after a few times, youâll feel better without any more backaches or leg cramps.â
