Chapter 1785: Cerulean Needle Technique

Still worried, Roxanne gave Hector her phone number. “Please take good care of yourself, Old Mr. Damaris. Remember to call me if you encounter any problems. I’ll be there for you.”

Her words left Hector momentarily stunned before he nodded, impressed. “Ms. Jarvis, you have a heart of gold! My grandson is a terrible man and unworthy of you.”

Hector’s praise brought a smile to Roxanne’s face. She then hailed a taxi for him. After the car arrived, Roxanne opened the door and helped Hector inside.

Suddenly, something occurred to Hector, stopping him in his tracks. “What’s wrong, Old Mr. Damaris?” Roxanne asked, puzzled.

Hector turned, excitement in his eyes. “Ms. Jarvis, the Damaris family possesses an ancient medical text, the ‘Cerulean Needle Technique.’ I believe it would be perfect for you. Have you heard of it?”

Roxanne was shocked. The Cerulean Needle Technique? Her master had mentioned it as a legendary, extinct acupuncture method incredibly effective against strange poisons—a rare medical treasure using acupuncture for detoxification. What a coincidence that the Damaris family possessed it!

Hector called her name twice before Roxanne regained her composure. She nodded. “Yes, I have. My master described it as an exceedingly rare book.”

“Your master is correct. However, it’s been largely unused in our family because it requires a female practitioner. Women tend to have the finer motor control and subtle strength needed. Ms. Jarvis, if you’re interested, I can give it to you. What do you think?” Hector’s tone was calm, as if offering a small gift.

Roxanne was speechless. “Are you sure?” Her excitement was evident. An ancient medical text! The Cerulean Needle Technique!

“Of course. I’m thankful for your help, Ms. Jarvis. Besides, you’re a talented physician; it would be a fitting transfer.”

A smile spread across Hector’s face as he witnessed Roxanne’s reaction. “Okay. I can’t thank you enough, Old Mr. Damaris. Thank you so much!”

Hector waved goodbye, ready to leave at the taxi driver’s urging. The exchange, concerning a priceless ancient text, seemed almost commonplace on the street.

“I’ll call you tomorrow. Let’s arrange a meeting; I’ll give it to you personally.”

After Hector’s promise, Roxanne, overjoyed, nodded in agreement. Even after he left, her excitement lingered. She immediately called Lucian to share her good fortune.

Lucian was delighted. “Darling, you have a remarkable way about you. You don't seek favors; you act purely out of kindness. That’s why Lady Luck smiles upon you. Congratulations, Darling!”

Roxanne was elated by his endearment. “Hey, when did I agree to you calling me that?”
