Chapter 235

Chapter 235 Practise Dummy Upon hearing those words, Stefan shuddered, and once again, he cursed Mason vehemently in his heart Upon witnessing that scene, the group of people outside was greatly shaken.

They had never seen Stefan kneel before, yet at that critical moment, no one dared to step forward to help him up. Whoever dared to assist would face reprimand. All they could do was silently pray for Emrys forgiveness.

After a moment of silence, Emrys said, “Considering your sincere attitude, I can assure you that your leg will heal.”

“Thank you….” Stefan was overwhelmed with emotion, ready to express his gratitude, when he saw Emrys wave his hand to interrupt him.

Emrys then said, “Don’t rush to thank me. I merely said that your leg could be healed, but the one who will treat you isn’t me. It’s Caylie.”

“Caylie?” Stefan was filled with confusion and doubt.

Emrys nodded and said, “That’s right. Caylie’s medical skills are not bad either. She has learned quite a bit of acupuncture techniques from me. However, she lacks practical experience. Do you understand what I mean?”

That was Emrys‘ thought.

Stefan’s leg injury was a very typical case of nerve damage. If Emrys were to intervene, he could easily cure it. However, Emrys wouldn’t do that. Instead, he planned to let Caylie treat the leg injury.

In other words, he was prepared to let Stefan be the one for Caylie to practice on. Much like when one was in the hospital receiving an IV drip, the veteran nurses usually wouldn’t do it themselves. Instead, they would let the interns practice their needlework.

How could Stefan not understand Emrys‘ intentions? He was being treated like a guinea pig. The treatment process was bound to be fraught with complications.

Stefan cautiously glanced at Emrys‘ expression, realizing that Emrys was not joking. He was left with only two options. One was to not seek treatment, and the other was to let himself be used as a practice subject.

Moreover, Emrys openly conveyed the situation to him, fully demonstrating his firm stance, as though saying, “I’m giving you these two options, whether to treat it or not. The decision is yours.”

I guess I’ll consider it as an apology for that unfilial wretch! Stefan sighed silently in his heart, knowing that if it weren’t for Mason’s actions, Emrys wouldn’t have that attitude toward him.

After pondering for a moment, he said, “I am willing!”

Emrys nodded, quickly summoning Caylie. He said, “Caylie, didn’t I just teach you a new set of leg acupuncture techniques a few days ago? We have a patient here, perfect for you to practice on.”

22.08 Fri, 20 Jan Chapter 235 Practise Dummy Caylie hesitated before saying, “I’m not sure this is a good idea. I’m still not proficient in that set of acupuncture techniques. I think I should practice on a dummy for a while first.”

“It’s all right. This old man actually enjoys being poked by others.”

A sudden twitch seized the muscles at the corner of Stefan’s eyes when he heard that.

Thus, Stefan stayed, dutifully serving as Caylie’s acupuncture model. Meanwhile, Mason and the others temporarily resided in a nearby hotel, accompanying Stefan each day for his acupuncture sessions.

Mason had also settled down. He didn’t dare to bother Ninette again.

Of course, under such circumstances, he had no choice but to stay put. Otherwise, when the time came and Stefan’s leg healed, if he ended up being the one who was crippled, it would be truly laughable.

One day, Stefan came to Apricot Hall once again, only to run into Richard and Lydia. Upon seeing Lydia, he was momentarily taken aback and said, “Are you… Lydia?”

His memory was somewhat hazy. It took him a long time to recall the name Lydia.

Lydia heard her name being called by an old man in a wheelchair, a hint of confusion crossing her face.

She looked at Stefan and asked, “Who are you?”

His face was familiar to her, but she couldn’t remember who he was.

After all, she had been away from Juxshire for over twenty years.

Stefan gave a bitter laugh, reminding, “I’m from the Cooper family of Juxshire.”

Speaking of the Cooper family from Juxshire, Lydia suddenly remembered something. Her eyes as she asked, “Are you Old Mr. Cooper?”

Stefan nodded.

“So it really is you, Old Mr. Cooper. I never imagined that after all these years, we would have the chance to meet again in this small city in Jazona.”
