The Quadruplets Are Mine? Chapter 129 Iâm treating Fatherâs condition,â Emmeline said. âThe needles will unblock the veins. Itâs much better than injecting him with chemicals.
âI donât believe it,â Ethan said. âIâve watched you grow up, and I never knew you knew acupuncture.â
âA lot can happen in a short time. Moreover, we werenât in contact for a few years.â
Emmeline gently massaged her fatherâs body to find the appropriate spots.
Ethan thought he was looking at a professional at work.
âEmma, do you really know how to treat illnesses?â
âA little,â Emmeline said. âFatherâs condition is a piece of cake. Anything more complicated than this, and Iâm helpless.â
âI suppose so,â Ethan said. âWell, you might as well give it a try. Youâre not going to kill him, right?â
âShush!â Emmeline shot a glance at her brother and inserted a silver needle into her fatherâs body.
After inserting several needles, Maxwell slowly opened his eyes. Color returned to his complexion.
âEmma! Father is waking up!â Ethan said happily.
âMm,â Emmeline replied while gently twiddling a needle. âIâll leave the needles in for a few minutes. He should be fine after I take them out.â
didnât expect you to be so skilled!â Ethan kneaded his hands happily.
Emmeline took a small pill from her purse and fed it to Maxwell.
âWhatâs that?â Ethan felt uneasy.
âI made the pill myself. Itâs very effective.â
âOh.â Ethan kneaded his hands again.
Benjamin returned to the room with two boxes in his hand.
Ethan went up to him. âMr. York! We shouldnât have troubled you!â
I canât possibly trouble Ms. Louise either! Benjamin thought.
âDonât mention it. I was worried you and Emma might be hungry,â Benjamin said.
âThank you, Mr. York. Itâs an honor for me and Emma,â Ethan said as he took the boxes from Benjaminâs hands.
âYou didnât have to include me!â Emmeline said without turning her head.
âThatâs because you donât appreciate what Mr. York does for you? Isnât he a hundred times better than Abel?â
Why is he saying the same thing?
Swish! A silver needle grazed past Ethanâs ear and struck the door next to him.
Ethan was dumbfounded After Emmeline removed the needles, Maxwell woke up.
Emmeline took her supper and went to the pantry. Only Ethan was left in the room with his father.
âThank you for bringing me to the hospital, Ethan. I thought I was a goner.â
âDonât say that, Father,â Ethan said while eating his supper. âYou have to thank Emma too. She inserted some needles into you, and you woke up.â
âWhat⦠What did you say?â Maxwellâs eyes widened. âEmma stabbed me with needles?â
âAh, itâs not like that. Emma learned acupuncture and she treated you with needles. You woke up after your veins were cleared,â
Ethan explained.
âNo wonder my head feels clearer and I can see better. Itâs all thanks to Emma.â
âThatâs right. After youâre discharged, you should invite her home for dinner,â Ethan said. âYou havenât been treating her well.â
âIndeed. Itâs all my fault. I shouldnât have listened to Alondra and kicked you all out of the household.â
âItâs all in the past.â Ethanâs eyes were blurred with tears.
He, as a man, was supposed to make a living for himself, but his sister must have suffered He did not know what happened to her during those years when they lost contact.
The next morning, after Ethan and Emmeline left the hospital, Alondra came to visit.
She was shocked to see Maxwell in good spirits.
âYou look well, my dear!â
âYes,â Maxwell said while he propped himself up. âUsually, stroke victims would be left paralyzed, but look at me. Iâm perfectly fine.â
âThatâs weird. How did you recover so quickly?â Alondra asked.
Itâs all thanks to Emma! She didnât tell me anything, but Ethan told me everything!â
âEmma?â Alondra did not understand. âWhat did she do other than accompany you last night?â
Maxwell told Alondra about how Emmeline had inserted needles into him.
Alondra was shocked. She did not know Emmeline could do that!
