Chapter 1361 Passed Out

Pfft! I’ll be crippled after a few acupuncture treatments from him, if not dead!

“Since you’re done with the checkup, can I get up now?”

“No, just stay right where you are. I’ll go and get the silver needles immediately and treat you at once.”

Eyeing Juan, who had rushed off, Sally inwardly groused, Great, just great! He really can’t wait to jab me to death! Fine, I’ll just play along with him!

Despite having seen through him, Sally lay motionless on the bed. Her calm and unruffled expression seemingly indicated that she had figured out a countermeasure and was quietly watching him put on a show.

While making the preparations, Juan glanced over his shoulder at her. “Don’t panic. Keep calm. You’ll know how skilled I am at acupuncture later.”

Even as he uttered such pleasant-sounding words, he inwardly exclaimed, Just you wait, girl! I’ll definitely have you know the pain of silver needles!

“Okay. I’ll remain still.”

When Juan saw Sally’s docile cooperation, glee suffused him.

Walking over to the treatment bed with a handful of silver needles, he sat down and explained patiently, “I’ve got time today, so I’ll give you the full package. I’ll conduct acupuncture on whichever part of your body that’s not quite up to standard. Don’t worry. I’m very skilled and will ensure that you won’t feel much pain.”

“Since you’re very skilled, Mr. Juan, you must also be exceedingly familiar with the acupoints of the human body and is naturally aware that there’ll be a huge problem if you make a mistake somewhere.”

Hearing that, Juan was stunned for a moment, for he wasn’t all that familiar with acupoints.

I’ve seen Mommy’s acupoint chart and the names of various acupoints densely indicated on it, but… I only remember a few. Don’t tell me she’s trying to decline to have me perform acupuncture on her for that reason? I just knew that she wouldn’t be allowing me to jab her so easily! But then, I’m the talkative Juan and am good at impromptu stuff!

Giving a cough, he confidently asserted, “Don’t worry. I know the acupoints of the human body like the back of my hand, so there’ll be no problems at all!”

Sally paid close attention to his pensive expression earlier, so she was certain that he had no knowledge of acupoints or acupuncture. But since he wants to play, I’ll just go along with him!

“Okay. I trust you, so let’s get started.”

Rejoicing inwardly, Juan picked up a silver needle while inwardly murmuring, Don’t blame me for doing this. You only have yourself to blame for approaching the Seet family with ulterior motives, so this is what you deserve!

Then, he jabbed the needle into Sally’s shoulder.

Sally seemingly had a high tolerance to pain, for there was no response from her after that jab. Seeing that, Juan picked up another needle and continued jabbing her, but she merely frowned and bit her lip without making a single sound.

Whoa! She has quite the tolerance! It seems that a few needles really can’t make her cry. Okay, I shall continue!

Juan continued jabbing her. But when he inserted the fourth needle, she abruptly gave a cry and seemingly passed out, lying there motionlessly.

“W-What just happened?”

A tad bewildered, Juan immediately checked to see what had happened. After scrutinizing things, he placed his finger beneath Sally’s nostrils to ascertain whether she was still breathing. Alas, that had him descending into utter panic.

Is this for real? I’ve only jabbed her a few times, yet she has even stopped breathing? She must be faking it! Yes, that must be it!

“I know you’re faking it. I only inserted four needles, so there’s no need to play dead, is there?”

He studied Sally, who was lying there like a corpse, but she remained stock-still no matter what he said.

“Hey, I’ll really send you across the great divide if you continue faking it!”

However, Sally didn’t even stir.

Juan reached out and shook her before he clutched her arm and made to jab her with a needle again. But regardless of whatever he did, she seemingly had no awareness at all as though she was truly dead.

At once, he lost his composure.

“Hey! I was only joking with you. You don’t need to go so far as to play dead to scare me, do you?”

Oh God, this is bad! I’m doomed if I’ve truly killed her!
