Chapter 377 Are You Afraid?
Brian replied, “I have headaches. Right now, my head hurts almost every morning after I wake up and it will also hurt a lot before I faint. It’s so painful that I feel that my eyes are bulging outward. It would also ache after I wake up, but it’s tolerable!”
Olivia nodded. “Your symptoms are only like this because of the treatments that you’ve been receiving up until now. Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be headaches and fainting episodes. You might even suffer from seizures, epilepsy, and even death.”
Eugene looked at her in worry. “Do you have any solutions?”
She replied, “I guess I can only try. I’ll try to do acupuncture for you today. If your head doesn’t hurt the next day after you wake up, it doesn’t mean that it’s cured, but it means that the pain has been lessened.”
Upon hearing that, his tense nerves finally relaxed. “Acupuncture?”
Olivia replied, “Yeah.”
Brian was slightly shocked. “Do you even know acupuncture?”
She mocked him with a glare. “Are you looking down on me?”
He finally smiled. “No, not at all.”
Eugene suggested, “Go ahead and give it a go. Where are you going to do it? Is the couch suitable? If it’s not suitable, we can head over to my place.”
Olivia said, “That’s fine. The couch will do as I will only need half an hour.”
He started to immediately move and removed all of the cushions on the couch, making way for Brian to lay down.
Meanwhile, Olivia entered her room to search for her black bag. When she came out with it, Brian was still seated on the couch. “Take off your shoes and lie down.”
After he gulped, he slowly removed his shoes.
By the time she was prepared, he still had not lay down.
Then, she walked to Eugene and used her eyes to ask, What’s going on?
Eugene leaned to her and whispered in her ears, “I guess he’s nervous!”
However, Olivia was shocked to hear that. I didn’t expect Brian to be afraid of acupuncture.
“No worries. It won’t hurt,” she reassured.
Brian hummed in reply. Even though he knew that it wouldn’t hurt, he was still nervous.
He was already nervous every time he saw her. It’s worse now that she’s going to perform acupuncture on me at such close range. It will be weird if I’m not nervous.
Just as he was still in a dilemma, Eugene suddenly questioned, “Afraid?”
Brian glared. “Who’s afraid?”
“Then, why is it so difficult for you to lie down?”
He ignored Eugene, proving it with his actions as he immediately lay on the sofa.
Upon seeing that, Eugene couldn’t stop smiling.
Olivia opened the bag that she used for acupuncture and flatly laid out all the equipment.
When Brian saw that she was getting closer to his head with a needle, he suddenly felt that his heart was being squished into a corner in his chest. She’s not going to put that on my head, is she?
Humans were often worried about the unknown. He would not be worried if someone wanted to punch because he knew how to avoid the attack.
However, it was impossible for him not to be afraid when he saw a long needle being poked into his body.
Brian wanted to sit up. That’s it, I guess. Why do I have to suffer like this? It makes no difference whether I stay alive for another day or if I die a day earlier.
Suddenly, someone had pressed his wrists down, causing him to look at the perpetrator—it was Eugene.
Eugene said, “Olivia used acupuncture to cure grandpa. You have to believe in her.”
Brian glared. “Who doesn’t believe in her?”
Eugene added, “Apart from that, she’s your future sister-in-law. How could she harm you?”
Brian snorted. “Who knows about the future? Olivia, you better stay away from him. The Nolan Family is up to no good.”
Eugene said in a deep voice, “Do you want to be crippled?”
At that moment, Olivia had already inserted five needles into Brian’s head. Without even raising her head, she warned, “Shut up, the both of you! If you talk more nonsense, I’ll cripple you guys!”
Brian admitted that Eugene’s words had indeed dissipated his fears and even more shocked after learning that there were five needles sticking out on his head—partly because he felt nothing whatsoever.
