“Got it!”
If I tell someone else about this, this man and Daphne Ankins would hunt me down.
In order to stay alive, the bodyguard decided to stay here and return later. He’d pretend he had sent Nicole back.
The man stepped forward and brought Nicole to a room.
As she was unconscious, he immediately took her pulse.
Her pulse is racing. Something is inside her body. If this force reaches her head, she’ll be beyond salvation.
Grimly, he thought. Young girl, you’re lucky to have met me.
Soon, he returned with a box of silver needles and applied the needles to her acupoints.
The next day, Nicole woke up with prickling pains all over her body like a swarm of ants had just attacked her.
She smacked her head as flashes of scenes from last night appeared in her mind.
Daphne! She fed me a drug that would damage my brain and make me an idiot.
Am I an idiot now?
She stretched her hand out and counted quickly, “One, two, three, four, five.”
Hmm? I’m not an idiot. I can still count.
Has the poison not taken effect yet?
She took her own pulse and it seemed normal to her.
Suddenly, she noticed a scar on her wrist. It was obviously some marks left from an acupuncture treatment.
Huh? Did someone treat me with acupuncture?
She hurriedly examined her body and realized those marks were on her acupoints.
As she was skilled in acupuncture, she knew what those acupoints meant.
Instantly, she realized the acupuncture treatment had forced the drug out of her body. That was why she didn’t become an idiot.
Wow, this is Wesley’s secret technique. He didn’t even teach Rocky this technique. Did he save me?
But when she thought about it, it seemed impossible.
Her mentor was a mysterious man, but there was no way he’d arrive at the estate in time just to save her.
Besides, this estate was heavily guarded.
Come to think of it, could it be him?
My scum of a birth father who learned acupuncture together with Mom?
Is he in this estate, too?
He must be the one who taught Daphne acupuncture and saved me in time. Looks like she’s my only clue to get to the person for now.
Suddenly, someone knocked on her door. Nicole promptly took her silver needles out and inserted them into a few acupoints on her body. She then lay on her bed, shutting her eyes.
As no one answered the door, Yoda broke in hurriedly.
The four maids followed behind him.
When Yoda saw Nicole lying on her bed, his brows snapped together.
The four maids immediately surrounded her. “Ms. Lane, time to wake up. We’ll help you wash up.”
Nicole lay there, unmoving.
Yoda came to the bed at once. He was about to touch her cheek when her eyes suddenly snapped open.
She sat up and giggled. “Hehehe!”
Her silly giggle shocked Yoda. He stared at her anxiously. “Mrs. Seet, are you alright?”
“Hehehehehe,” Nicole continued giggling.
The maids sensed something was amiss, so they immediately went to inform Levant.
When Levant arrived and saw Nicole’s condition, he summoned the Musgrave family’s private doctor to diagnose her condition.
The doctor arrived and examined Nicole earnestly. She refused to cooperate at first, but gradually calmed down and went along after Levant and her maids comforted her.
After a series of examination, the doctor informed Levant solemnly, “Mr. Levant, this doesn’t look good. I’m afraid something is wrong with her brain.”
Levant panicked while Yoda’s heart leapt to his throat.
“What do you mean? Be clear!”
“I’m afraid her mental capacity has been seriously affected!”
“What?”
“What?”
Both Yoda and Levant blurted out in horror.
Nicole was still giggling and pointing at the doctor, calling him an idiot.
“How did this happen?” Levant demanded.
Yoda clenched his fists. When he returned from Levant’s room last night, he heard a commotion in the hallway. Hence, he went to Nicole’s room. But she was sleeping on her bed peacefully.
