Chapter 88

Everyone marveled at Nick’s audacity! The waiter looked worried. “Mr. York, we don’t know this lady.” Basically, Elizabeth wasn’t from their restaurant; if something went wrong, they wouldn’t be liable.

“If anything happens, I’ll take the blame!” Nick said firmly.

Elizabeth chuckled. Since Nick trusted her, she wouldn’t let him down. She got her needles ready. They looked pretty serious and intimidating. Nick watched closely. Why did they seem so familiar?

Elizabeth glanced at Nick, then placed her hand on his swollen, purple leg. “Sir, I’m starting now.”

Nick nodded. Without another word, Elizabeth inserted the first needle. Surprisingly, the pain Nick anticipated never came. Moreover, Elizabeth administered over a dozen stitches, and none of them hurt! He felt it amazing!

“Does it still burn?” Elizabeth asked.

Nick nodded. “Not relieved at…L…”

People around started gossiping. “What? I thought she was good. Turns out she’s useless.” “She can’t do it, let’s wait for the ambulance!” “She’s just pretending to know what she’s doing!”

Ignoring them, Elizabeth inserted the last needle into a critical spot on Nick’s leg. Less than ten seconds later, Nick’s face lit up as he shouted, “It doesn’t hurt anymore!”

Everyone stared at Nick in shock. Elizabeth smirked. She was always confident in her acupuncture skills; otherwise, she wouldn’t have stepped forward.

“It’s leg cramps from long-term standing and fatigue. Due to the lack of timely treatment and relief for the cramp, it developed into muscle and nerve twitching. If not treated promptly, your leg would be useless,” Elizabeth explained.

Nick agreed. Swelling and purpling were warning signs; blocked blood flow would be a big problem. He asked, “Who are you? Where do you live? Have you studied medicine?”

“I just dabble in it,” Elizabeth said, checking the time. “In forty minutes, you can remove the needles yourself. I have to go.” With that, she was about to leave.

Nick called out, “Miss, please leave your name!”

Elizabeth didn’t respond, walking through the crowd and out of the restaurant. She didn’t want to expose herself, planning to find a car, drop off her equipment, and return as Elizabeth. Nick kept calling, but she walked too fast.

The crowd was puzzled. “Does it really not hurt anymore?” Not only did it not hurt, but Nick’s purple leg was regaining color. Nick stared at the needles, shock in his eyes. This acupuncture technique! Looking closely, he saw an “E” mark on the silver needles, and his eyes widened. Could that be the top doctor, Emily Boleyn, who disappeared three years ago?
