Chapter 26
Summon Of The Sword
âIâll do it myself, thank you.â Seanâs voice came from the room. â⦠Okay!â Willow let out a sigh. She felt empty for no reason.
Night.
Sean did acupuncture on both legs before repeating it not long after.
The interval was so short that the average person would never be able to withstand i t.
Even Sean had his share of pain.
However, he was as eager to get on his feet.
Therefore, he wanted to speed up the recovery process, even if it hurt. âWhew!â Moments later, Sean put the silver needles away and let out a long breath.
His whole body was wet with sweat.
âTwo years without exercise really degrades oneâs health.â
Sean reached out and tapped his knee as h e muttered to himself.
âHmmâ¦â
Sean was about to take a break when he heard a strange noise.
It sounded like a womanâs voice. It sounded like a whisper and was very seductive.
It sounded just like⦠It would make people blush. Thinking of Fion and her husband, Sean did not want to bother with it. However, it sounded more like Willow.
Sean frowned slightly, but he still propelled his wheelchair, gently opened the room door, and headed toward Willowâs room.
Willowâs room was right next to Seanâs.
Willow had taken care of Sean all this time, so her room was not too far away.
The closer Sean got to Willowâs room, the clearer the arousing sound became.
âNo!â
Sean realized Willowâ s voice sounded like it was tinged with pain after listening to it carefully.
Thud!
Sean stopped hesitating and reached out t o open the door. Then he headed straight t o the bedside.
Willow was in bed in sky-blue silk pajamas. It made her figure look spectacular.
However, Willow curled up with one hand over her stomach. Her face was full of pain as she grunted from time to time.
Half a cup of brown sugar water was on the nightstand.
Sean saw what was going on right away.
Willow was having cramps in her abdomen and did not even notice anyone entering the room.
âHmmâ¦â
Willow gritted her silver teeth to endure the pain. âWillow.â
Suddenly, Willow felt a warm hand slowly holding her hand.
It was big and warm, and it made Willow feel better. âSean, what⦠what are you doing here? Get out!â
Willow slowly opened her eyes and let out a cry of surprise.
âDonât move. The pain will soon pass.â
Sean took Willowâ s fair hand, found the union valley acupoint, and slowly massaged it.
âSean, itâs no use.
âIâve tried these pain-relieving acupoints many times, and they donât work at all.â
Understanding what Sean was trying to d o, Willow said as she shook her head in resignation.
âOthers canât do it, but I can.â
Sean spoke simply as he gently pressed Willowâs union valley acupoint with a moderate force.
Willow did not believe it. 1 Homer did seem to be very deferential to Sean. However, did Sean think he was a miracle doctor?
Could he fix this without any needles or medicine?
Willow wanted to withdraw her hand, but she could not bear to do it when she saw the serious look on Seanâs face.
She could only let Sean give it a try.
Seanâs massage was just the right amount of pressure, and it made Willow feel perfectly comfortable.
One minute, two minutesâ¦
Willow was surprised to find that the pain in her abdomen slowly dissipated as Sean massaged her with his fingers.
âHmm?â Willow looked up in disbelief. âItâs alright. Itâll be alright soon.â Sean kept on massaging. Willow was surprised to find that Seanâs hands seemed to have a magic touch.
As he massaged, Willowâs pain lessened until it went away.
She felt a sense of relief. She even felt refreshed. âGosh, itâs a coincidence, right?
âItâs probably because the pain was about to stop, right?â
Willow widened her eyes and looked at Sean in disbelief.
âWeâll see if this is a coincidence next time. âBut I wonât let this happen to you again.
âYou have a cold constitution. Iâm going t o control your diet and tone your health.â
Sean said with a smile as he put down Willowâs soft as if boneless hand.
Willow was dumbfounded. âDoes Sean really know medicine?â âAnd is he good at it?â âYouâ¦â Willow bit her red lip, wanting to speak but stopped. Sean looked up at Willow, and his heart suddenly throbbed.
All these years in the army, Sean was obsessed with killing the enemy and protecting his country.
He never bothered with love, so he had no idea what romance was.
Many nice girls in the army liked him, but Sean never bothered with them.
Willow blushed slightly, her beautiful face tinged with a sickly flush.
It looked so pitiful.
Sean and Willow looked at each other, and the atmosphere of the room changed slightly.
They were young and were in the same room at night. 1 It was⦠âAhemâ¦â Sean coughed to hide his embarrassment. âIâm going back.â Sean slowly propelled the wheelchair. Willow looked at Sean and bit her lip slightly. âWhere are you going?â
