Chapter 58
Marvin had heard about Jane’s rules. “We’ll leave it to you, Dr. Smith. If you need anything, just let us know.”
Despite their worry, Marvin and Suzy turned and left
Shane closed the sauna door behind them, and the treatment officially began.
Suzanne poured the herbal concoction onto the sama stones, and steam instantly rose in the air.
Rodney stood in place, his face flushing red. His hands clenched into fists by his sides, and he couldn’t bring himself to look at Suzanne.
When Suzanne finished pouring the herbal concoction, she turned around and saw him still standing in place. Frowning, she asked irritably, “Aren’t you going to take off your shirt?”
Rodney hesitated. His hand hovered over his shirt buttons, but he couldn’t bring himself to unbutton them.
Suzanne flicked the silver needle in her hand. “Do you want to go through the same thing earlier?
As soon as she said that, Rodney’s shirt came off in a hurry. “Il do it. Just don’t prick me with needles again.”
The thought of enduring that pain was far worse than his embarrassment.
Though Rodney felt mortified, Suzanne didn’t even glance at him.
It wasn’t until she stood behind him and pricked the silver needle in an acupoint on his back that he felt a sharp, slight sting. His muscles immediately rensed
Suzanne’s calm voice rang out. “Don’t move. Relax.”
Rodney felt the needle press into him. Since he could still move has body, he breathed a heavy sigh of reliet and gradually let go of his lear
Suzanne pressed her lips together, swiftly and precisely inserting needles into each of his acupoints. In no time, his body was covered in needles, resembling a porcupine.
Rodney didn’t feel pain, just heat. The sauna’s heat made it feel like his body might explode from the intensity
An hour passed
When Suzanne finally stepped out of the sauma, her clothes were drenched, and she was clearly drained.
Shane quickly approached, offering his support. Concern was written all over his face. “Are you okay?”
Suzanne wared her hand dismissively and sat on a nearby bench. She said hoarsely,
“Water”
The sauna felt like a steam chamber. Even Suzanne was starting to struggle after an hour of enduring the heat.
Shane rushed to get her some water. Suzanne drank it down in one go, finally fooling like she was coming back to life.
Marvin and Suzy hurried over. Their faces were filled with concern as they looked at Suzanne. “Dr. Smith…”
Now that the treatment was over, they were hesitant to ask anything
Suzanne looked up at them and replied calmly, “It’s nothing serious. He just needs a few more treatments.”
Rodney’s condition was a long–term one. Expecting a miracle in one session was unrealistic.
Marvin and Suzy sighed in relief, Suzy, tears welling up in her eyes, walloed over to Suzanne and suddenly dropped to her knees. “Thank you, Dr. Smith I’ll never forget your kindness.”
Suzanne was the Goerra family’s savior. Their bloodline wouldn’t be cut off now,
Suzanne instinctively stepped aside to avold Suzy kneeling directly at her foot. “What are you doing? Please put up
As she said that, she hurried to help Suzy to her feet. “Healing is a doctor’s duty. There’s no need for this, Mrs. Guerra.
“That’s true, but… we must show our gratitude. If it weren’t for you, my son might not have made it.” Sury’s voice was filled with emotion.
Suzanne smiled softly, her gaze drifting toward the sauna room. “He’ll be out in three minutes. Why don’t you go check on him?”
Suzy looked at Marvin excitedly. Marvin, understanding immediately, nodded and said, “I’ll go.”
As he turned to love, his eyes were already moist with unshed tears.
Half an hour later, Suzanne had taken a quick shower, changed into fresh clothes, and felt fully recovered.
When she walked downstairs Into the living room, she saw Marvin approaching with a broad smile on his face. He lowered his head respectfully to Suzanne. “Stay for dinner, Dr. Smith. The food is ready.”
Suzanne glanced out at the darkening sky. She had planned to decline, but before the words left her lips, she noticed someone wallding toward the
