Chapter 918 Date Part Four Jerry noticed he was acting a little too excited and got embarrassed. So, he quickly pretended like he didnât care. âYou arenât lying to me, right?â
Natalie could act pretty straightforwardly with him, but since he still insisted on putting on his arrogant façade, she decided to play along.
âItâs up to you to believe me or not.â
He then muttered in a small voice, âI didnât say I donât believe you...â
When he had an acute asthma attack, it was her who used acupuncture to treat him. He knew what she was capable of, which was why he didnât doubt her medical skills.
âWhat did you say? I canât hear you.â She smiled mischievously.
âHelp me treat my asthma,â Jerry mumbled in a vague, embarrassed manner.
âWhat?â
âHelp me treat my asthma!â he roared as his face was flushed. âIs this loud enough for you?â
She giggled as she had her fun teasing him. âOkay!â
He looked around and whispered, âShould I look for a nearby hotel?â
âA hotel?â Natalie was confused.
âArenât you going to do it with acupuncture?â Jerry scratched his head. âYou arenât seriously going to make me take off my shirt and perform acupuncture on me on the street, right? Iâm still the son of the Jones family. Iâm going to embarrass myself if I do that.â
She rolled her eyes at him. Not only is he prideful, but heâs also exceptionally particular with his image.
âThereâs no need to go to a hotel.â Her eyes glinted as she pulled out a bottle from her pocket, removed a black pill from the container, and gave it to him. âYou only need to eat this to get your asthma treated.â
âJust like that?â He stared at her with doubt.
He had been afflicted with asthma since the day he was born.
Ever since he was a child, the Jones family had hired all kinds of famous doctors from inside and outside the country to treat his condition. However, all of them failed. Because of that, he even tried questionable treatments and medicines, like eating lizard tails and the like.
He believed in Natalieâs medical skills, but he didnât believe that eating a medicinal pill would fix his condition.
Seeing that Jerry hesitated to eat it, she raised her eyebrows. âAre you afraid its poisonous?â
âI donât care.â He took in a deep breath, grabbed the pill, and threw it into his mouth. âIf anything happens to me, youâre going down with me...â
Without the help of water, he swallowed it.
Soon after it entered his digestive system, he felt a bone-chilling sensation coming from his abdomen.
Surprisingly, that sensation traveled through the veins in his body and arrived at his lungs, making that particular organ of his feel refreshing. Not only that, it made his entire body feel more relaxed. Even his breathing felt much smoother.
He tried to take a few more breaths.
Each breath he took was full and long. Not only that, it had never been easier for him to breathe.
Jerry turned his wet eyes to Natalie. âThank you.â
âIf you want your asthma to be treated completely, you just need to eat one pill every day until the bottleâs empty.â She then pointed at the cattery behind her. âDonât you want to play with that white shorthair? You can join me inside if you like.â
Can I? He was about to ask that question before he stopped himself. Why am I still doubting her? She may be a little crass sometimes, and she never butters me up like other women, but her medical skills are undeniable. Even if it doesnât work, as long as I follow her, sheâll take care of my asthma.
âOkay,â he replied.
Jerry was still feeling a little uncertain as he entered the cattery with Natalie.
However, when he stepped into the cattery and realized he wasnât having any trouble breathing, his heart leaped in joy.
