Chapter 1404 Believe In Me

Unfortunately, Doreen's arm remained the same. Meanwhile, Olivia was able to tell from her

determined expression that she had tried hard to lift her right arm, although her effort was futile. "What

about your legs? Try moving them."

Doreen did as Olivia told her and was only able to move them a little, but in spite of the slight

movement she was able to make, it was still not enough for her to walk. Besides that, she could not

utter any syllable clearly, although she could make rattling sounds from her throat.

Olivia sighed helplessly, unknowingly scaring Albert. "How is it, Miss Maxwell? Please don't tell me

you're at your wits' end too."

Olivia pondered for a second and replied, "Well, there is still hope, but it'll take time. General Bleu's

condition is critical and serious, so I need you to understand that it's impossible for her to go back to

normal in such a short period of time."

Albert heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Olivia's words. Deep down, he nearly had a heart attack

because he thought Olivia was going to give up on treating Doreen. "So, you're saying you can treat

her, although it's going to take time. Am I right?" he asked in an anxious manner.

Olivia nodded and replied, "Yes. If she is going to recover and go back to her normal life, it'll probably

take more than a year before that happens, provided that she actively follows our instructions." She

then turned to Doreen and asked, "General Bleu, do you believe in me?"

Doreen nodded with difficulty to signify her positive response. Yes, I believe in you, Olivia. Fixing her

gaze upon Olivia's face resembling Blanchett's, she somehow felt a strange sense of intimacy, which

reassured her that it was the right thing to place her faith in Olivia. I'm not asking for a lot. I just want to

recover from my disease, even if I may not live the way I used to. In fact, I'll be more than happy if I can

talk properly again.

No one could understand the hopeless feeling of lying in bed without being able to move at all than

Doreen could, let alone empathize with her. In fact, she was haunted by the fear that she would one

day wake up and realize she was no longer able to walk, talk, or move a muscle at all. Tormented by

the terror, she would do her best to move each part of her body day by day to make sure they still

worked fine.

As the doctors, who were approached to treat Doreen, came and left, her heart was broken by

disappointment with each time that happened. After all, most of them didn't take her condition seriously,

as they left shortly after a perfunctory diagnosis. Although there were also a few doctors who wanted to

cure her of her disease, they would usually not promise anything because they barely had any

confidence at all. Nonetheless, Olivia struck Doreen differently, being the famous Doctor Bailey despite

her young age. Because of that, she had a feeling that Olivia would be an exception, and the fact that

Olivia was confident in treating her condition only added to her joy even more.

It's fate, perhaps. It's fate that brought the two of them together. Albert, who was also excited with the

news, said, "Okay, we will be sure to cooperate. What should we do?"

"Mr. Bleu, I need some peace and silence here. Now, please keep quiet and give us both peace of

mind." Olivia responded.

Upon finishing her sentence, she reached for her black bag and took it from Eugene's hand,

whereupon she took out a small white fabric bag that contained the acupuncture needles.

"Please leave us alone, everyone." Albert immediately sent all the maids in the room away, leaving only

himself, Eugene, and Hugh with Olivia.

As everyone else didn't dare to make a sound, Eugene, who seemingly knew Olivia was going to

perform acupuncture, grabbed himself a chair and sat down like he was enjoying a show in a relaxed

manner.

At the same time, Albert couldn't take his eyes off Olivia either, not because he didn't trust her, but

because he was fascinated with what she was doing. After all, it was said that alternative medicine had

a long history, which included acupuncture that was used to treat many diseases. Although many of the

doctors whom Albert approached earlier also knew how to perform acupuncture, most of them were old

men who were in their fifties or sixties, but even so, their techniques were not as skilled as hers. How

did she manage to locate those pressure points so accurately without even taking a closer look?

Half an hour later, Olivia had needles placed all over the pressure points on Doreen's body. After that,

she struggled to stand on her feet while holding her waist in exhaustion, her forehead covered in cold

sweat.

Meanwhile, Eugene felt sorry for Olivia as he walked closer to her and wiped the sweat off her

forehead with a handkerchief. "Take it easy. Rest if you have to."

"I'm fine." Olivia took the handkerchief and wiped her forehead by herself.

Nevertheless, Eugene couldn't care less about what Olivia said as he grabbed a chair for her and sat

her on it. Then, he brought her a freshly brewed cup of tea and asked, "Do you have any idea why I

came to you?"

Olivia responded by giving her husband a doubtful look.
