Chapter 56
Suzanne frowned slightly. After a moment, she looked up at Shane and said, “You can leave first.
Shane looked at her with concern flashing in his eyes. Just as he was about to object, Suzanne said again, “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”
He gave Suzanne a deep look. Knowing her way of handling things, he didn’t say anything more. He simply nodded in response. “Alright.”
As Shane stepped out of the room, Marvin and Suzy rushed toward him. Both were visibly anxious “Mr. Doyle, what’s happening inside?”
Marvin’s eyes flickered toward the closed door, his worry ev
Prident
“I’m not sure yet,” Shane replied.
At his words, Marvin and Suzy exchanged a silent look. Her grip on his arm tightened
Inside the room, Suzanne picked up a stool from a comer and set it beside the bed.
Rodney couldn’t make sense of Suzanne’s actions,
She sat calmly in front of him, scrolling through the news on her phone in silence
Although Rodney couldn’t move his body, his senses were sharp, so he was fully aware of everything Suzanne was doing. What was this woman trying to do?
Irritation bubbles inside him. He wanted to lash out, but his immobilized state left him with outlet. The helplessness graved at him.
Gradually, Rodney began to notice something was wrong with his body. It inched. A relentless, unbearable itch was spreading everywhere.
He struggled to break free from the sulfocating sensation. Yet it was all in vain.
He glared daggers at Suzanne, “Let me go, bitch!””
Suzanne, unfazed, continued scrolling through her phone.
Free minutes passed, then ten.
By the time 20 minutes had gone by, Rodney was overwhelmed by the intense discomfort coursing through his body. The suffocating itch, paired with the helplessness of being unable to resolve it, completely drained him of the strength to struggle.
Finally, Suzanne glanced at the time and calmly put her phone away. Her icy paze met Rodney’s, and she asked, “Ready to cooperate now? I’ll let you go if
Rodney opened his mouth to reply, but he was too weak to for words
Suzanne chockled lightly. “Out of energy, huh?”
She stood and slipped her phone into her pocket. “Alright, let’s make this simple. Blink if you agree to cooperate.”
The moment she said that, Rodney frantically blinked as if afraid that any delay might make her change her mind.
Seeing this, Suzanne nodded in satisfaction.
She stepped forward and withdrew the silver needle on Rochey’s acupoint. Instantly, his body slumped as it all strength had been drained from it. He collapsed weakly onto the bed.
Without wasting a second, he began scratching at every inch of his body. When the sensation finally subsided, he let out a long, ragged sigh of relief as he slumped back into the pillows.
Rodney turned around to glance at Sane. At the next moment, he grabbed a white porcelain ornament from the bedside table and made a move to hurl it at her
His eyes burned with fury as he roared, “Go to hell! You quack”
Suzanne sidestepped swiftly and closed the distance in an instant. She then skilfully pricked a saver needle back into Rodney’s acupoint with precision.
Seeing him immobilized again, she smiled faintly, Without a word, she calmly pred the white porcelain ornament from his hand and tossed it into the
trash can
Then, she pulled out her phone and resumed scrolling through the news. She even found a comfortable spot to lean against.
Realizing he was once again immobillard, Rodney was livid. He felt lo he might explode from frustration.
Who on earth was this woman?
This time, it lasted an entire hour
