Chapter 221

Chapter 221 Effective Treatment Richard let out a small sigh inwardly, but he quickly stopped dwelling on the matter. That was because he received some good news. Emrys was preparing to help him with acupuncture treatment.

Upon hearing that news, Lydia was even more excited than Richard was. A look of eager expectation filled her charming eyes.

Cordelia, however, asked in confusion, “Dad, what illness do you have? Why haven’t you mentioned it all this time?”

Upon hearing that, Richard and Lydia immediately wore a troubled expression. How could they possibly bring up such a disease in front of their daughter?

Emrys said, “Mr. Youngblood is merely suffering from back pain. It’s not a major issue.”

“Exactly, it’s back pain,” Richard hastily agreed.

“Is it really just a backache?” Cordelia expressed with great skepticism.

She had been puzzled before, wondering why her parents had suddenly changed their attitude toward Emrys, even going out of their way to be overly attentive to him. Now, listening to their conversation, she began to understand a bit. She figured they must have needed something from Emrys. If it were just a simple case of back pain, wouldn’t it have been sufficient to go directly to the hospital for treatment?

Cordelia was aware of Emrys‘ medical skills. Generally, if he needed to step in, it couldn’t possibly be a simple illness.

Therefore, she found that matter extremely peculiar.

Lydia said with a hint of unease, “Oh, Cordelia, you shouldn’t worry so much. After all, Emrys has promised us he will definitely cure your father’s illness. Isn’t that enough? Why bother about what the illness is?”

Cordelia paused for a moment, then said, “Fine. I won’t care. I really don’t know what you guys are up to.”

Since they all refused to speak, what else could Cordelia do? She simply decided not to meddle in their affairs any further.

Upon reflecting, she suddenly felt aggrieved. It seemed as if Emrys was the real part of their family while she had somehow become the outsider. Hmph! This is maddening!

Emrys said, “Mr. and Mrs. Youngblood, let’s go to Caylie’s Apricot Hall for treatment. They have a specialized acupuncture room there.”

And so, the three of them arrived at the Apricot Hall.

They casually greeted Duncan.

Richard followed Emrys to the acupuncture room. Lydia also insisted on accompanying them, expressing her desire to witness her husband’s return to strength with her own eyes.

Chapter 221 Effective Treatment Emrys couldn’t be bothered to tease her any further. He instructed Richard to remove her upper garment and lie face down on the bed. Subsequently, he took a needle and inserted it into the acupoints on his waist, such as the Lower Back Acupoint.

Upon witnessing that scene, Lydia couldn’t help but slightly furrow her brows.

In the past, she had secretly visited many renowned doctors with her husband, including masters of acupuncture in the field of traditional medicine. They had also tried acupuncture on Richard’s waist, but it essentially had no therapeutic effect. Judging from the acupuncture points used by those people at the time, they didn’t seem much different from Emrys‘. It didn’t work before, so could it work now?

Although Lydia harbored doubts in her heart, she was afraid of disturbing Emrys, so she chose not to voice them, instead opting to wait in silence.

About fifteen minutes later, Richard suddenly exclaimed with excitement, “I can feel it. I can feel it!

There’s a burning sensation in my waist, and the heat is slowly spreading forward.”

“Really?” Upon hearing those words, Lydia was equally overwhelmed with excitement.

She sat down beside the bed, took Richard’s hand, and said, “Honey, you’re not fooling me, are you? Is the treatment really effective?”

“How could I possibly deceive you with such a matter? The moment you held my hand, I immediately felt a stronger healing effect,” Richard said.

Lydia’s eyes immediately welled up with tears.

After so many years, there was finally hope that her husband’s illness could be cured.

She was so happy that she couldn’t stop smiling.

Another ten minutes or so passed before Emrys finished with the acupuncture. He said, “As long as we continue with about five more acupuncture sessions, Mr. Youngblood’s illness should be completely cured. During this period, you must absolutely refrain from any reckless actions, especially you, Mrs.

Youngblood. You must control yourself. Otherwise, all our efforts will be wasted.”

Lydia blushed as she nodded in agreement.

Richard, on the other hand, uttered eagerly, “Good son–in–law, I’ll come to you for acupuncture tomorrow, then.” I still need five more sessions. If I undergo one acupuncture treatment per day, I can be cured within five days. Just thinking about it makes me overjoyed.

Emrys shook his head and said, “There’s no need for tomorrow. Acupuncture can only be done once every three days. If it’s too frequent, the effect isn’t significant… Also, Mr. and Mrs. Youngblood, you should just call me Emrys in the future. I’m still not quite used to being referred to as your son–in–law.”
