Chapter 1360 Cure You With Acupuncture
“Do you know the use of an acupuncture treatment room?” A mischievous smile bloomed on Juan’s face as he crossed his arms.
“Yup. It’s for treating diseases and saving lives,” Sally replied.
“My mother is an apprentice of an expert in acupuncture, and her skills are superb. I, too, have liked acupuncture since young. As such, I hope that my future girlfriend will also like it. So, do you have any interest in it? If you don’t, we don’t need to waste our time anymore.”
Right then, Juan was dead certain that Sally had an ulterior motive in approaching the Seet family. Therefore, she would go along and agree no matter what he said.
Sure enough, Sally answered, “Although I’ve never been exposed to acupuncture, I know that treating diseases and saving lives is a good thing. I think I’ll like it.”
You’ll like it? Great!
A triumphant smile flickered across Juan’s eyes. “Shall we go in and have a look, then?”
Sally nodded in acquiescence.
Juan walked in front and led the way. It was an acupuncture treatment room his mother once used. Nicole’s acupuncture hospital was still under construction, and she even mentioned the day before that she was going to move everything there to the acupuncture hospital once it was done.
Eyeing the medical equipment in there, Sally frowned. “What are these things?”
“These are all medical equipment. Some are used for an in-vitro diagnostic of patients, while others are used in conjunction with silver needles during treatment. All of them are very expensive, so don’t touch them!”
Sally nodded in acknowledgment as she scrutinized the complicated machines.
I really know nothing about all this, nor do I have any interest. Thus, I don’t want to touch them even if it were fine to do so!
In the next instant, Juan abruptly suggested, “Are you in good health? Do you suffer from backache and the like, or are you feeling unwell anywhere? I can diagnose and treat you.”
“Are you well-versed in this?” Sally wore a dubious expression.
“There’s a saying about learning something through long-time observation, no? My mother is an expert in this, and I’ve watched her work since young!”
After saying that, a glimmer of craftiness glinted in Juan’s eyes. He was all smiles as he looked at Sally. “How about this? I’ll give you a checkup first. If you need acupuncture, I’ll do it for you free of charge! What do you think?”
Sally’s brows scrunched together.
Hmph! How noble-sounding when his real motive is to jab me with silver needles! This is the first time he asked me out, yet he’s already planning to get physical with me. How ruthless! Anyway, I’ve got nothing important today, so I’ll play along with him!
“Sure. Thank you in advance then, Mr. Juan.”
Surprise inundated Juan at her easy acquiescence. I’ve just prepared a ton of remarks of how it’ll benefit her to persuade her into agreeing, but I never expected it to have been all in vain. Ah, that’s quite a pity!
“In that case, lie down first. I’ll use the machine to give you a checkup.”
“Okay.”
Casting him a sidelong glance, Sally lay down on the examination bed. Juan then activated the machine.
In truth, he had no idea how to conduct a checkup. The so-called checkup was only a formality so that he would have a valid reason to jab her with needles.
After he pressed several buttons, numbers started appearing on the display screen of the machine. Juan looked at the figures with a frown marring his countenance, shaking his head while sighing interminably.
“Oh no, your health is looking really bad. You’ve got a spinal disease, so you suffer from backaches. Your waist doesn’t look all that good either. And your leg…”
How does he know that my health is lacking everywhere when the data is still running? Hah! He’s just saying that to pave the way for him to jab me a few more times!
“So, do I need acupuncture? How many needles do I need?” Sally inquired.
Turning to her, Juan regarded her with a sympathetic gaze. “You really don’t take care of yourself usually, huh? Look at how bad your health is. Everything isn’t quite right with you. But don’t worry. I’ll do my best to cure you with acupuncture. I promise that after a few times, you’ll feel better without any more backaches or leg cramps.”
