Chapter 1344
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
This question stunned Austin and made his face flush red.
This was embarrassing to him, especially since Lily, whom he had been looking down on, had frozen him on the spot.
If anyone were to hear about this, he would be too ashamed to meet anyone in the future.
"N-No!" Austin straightened his back and denied it.
"Itâs my friend!"
"your friend?"
Dominic stopped rocking his chair and looked up at Austin.
"Your...friend?"
"Yes!"
Austin was adamant about using this reason.He would never admit that he was the main character in his story.
Dominic understood what was going on and smiled.
"Then why does it have anything to do with Lily? Didn't you say that you had something related to Lily to tell me? Youâre not trying to tell me that your friend is Lily, are you?"
"Thatâs impossible!"
He denied it almost instantly.
âWhat the h*ll? Why would she be a friend of mine?â After denying it, he found another cover for himself.
"Itâs like this.I want to ask if you have a close relationship with Lily.I saw her here once, and I know you wonât just meet anyone."
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
Dominicâs expression turned dark.He was displeased by the question.
âItâs happening again! Granduncle would get mad whenever I brought Lily up, so are they friends or foes?â "No.Iâm not trying to invade your privacy.I just want to know if youâ re close to Lily and if you know she can numb someoneâs nerves by hitting their acupuncture points?"
Although Dominic confirmed the existence of such a technique, it still felt strange to Austin to say it out loud.
If he had not gone through it personally, he would never have believed it, even if Dominic were to convince him of its existence.
"What? Did she numb your..."
Dominic dragged his word out and looked at Austinâs expression.
"Your friendâs nerves?"
"No!"
Austin denied subconsciously before correcting himself, "Yes!"
After some thought, it still felt strange.
Austin scratched his head, looking confused.
"No, but yes! How do I say it? She just used her hands to poke around his body, then I...my friend, could no longer move or speak.
"Later, she patted him like this again, and then he could move again.Initially, I thought that it was caused by certain kinds of medication she had hidden between her fingers or ring or something and that we just didnât realize it.However, I donât know what medication could have its effects be controlled so precisely."
"Then what did your friend say? What did he feel? For instance, feeling like a needle poked him, or if he felt numb anywhere?"
It was rare for Dominic to discuss something with Austin so seriously.
Upon hearing that question, Austin simultaneously thought about his feelings and lifted his hand to feel the spots Lily had poked before.
"No, it didnât hurt or leave wounds.It doesnât feel numb, either.Itâs just that when my friend couldnât move, he felt like something had blocked his blood circulation, and he couldn't exert any strength no matter how hard he tried.
"He wanted to scream aloud but couldnât do that either.When he could finally move, he felt the numbness he would normally feel on his thighs after squatting down for too long.After moving around, he felt normal again and didnât feel uncomfortable anywhere."
Austin said anything that came to mind as he recounted everything he felt at the time.
Dominic smiled and joked, "It seems you know this friend of yours very well.Itâs like you know exactly how he felt, like youâve also gone through it."
Austin had no words.
In that instant, blood rushed to his head.He felt like he had exposed himself.
When Austin looked at Dominic's sharp gaze that showed he knew everything, he felt dumb for everything he had done in front of him earlier.
