Chapter 5 Acupuncture Works

Auteur: Night Eleven
Aria stuck the first needle into the boy without any hesitation.

The boy immediately frowned. It was like he was regaining his consciousness. It looked like he was struggling as his brows furrowed even deeper.

Someone in the crowd yelled, "He's waking up!"

Jimmy was stunned. His face grew pale. "This can't be…"

How did she pull that off? Just one needle? Could a person really regain consciousness from that?

Aria raised her hand again. Her gaze was focused, and she looked very composed.

She stuck the second needle into the boy's fingertips to draw some blood.

Right after she did that, the boy opened his eyes. His pupils were dark and round, while his eyelashes were extraordinarily long.

He glanced at Aria quietly, but his face was still quite pale.

Everyone in the crowd was stunned.

Francine spoke up, "Young lady, you healed with a few pokes of the needle?"

Aria applied some light pressure on the needle. She saw that the bloodletting was done, so she removed the needle and pressed a cotton ball on the wound to stop the bleeding.

"Madam, it's not that simple. Applying acupuncture to the fingertips can help with dissipating the heat. He was inflicted with heat stroke, which was caused by the high temperature. I just helped him cool down with acupuncture."

"Spare me the theatrics. That kid hasn't spoken a word since he regained consciousness. You probably left him with some side effects with your treatment!" Jimmy snorted.

Francine was a little annoyed. "The boy has already regained consciousness. Why are you talking about side effects? Are you just trying to get out of apologizing to the young lady?"

"That's none of your business!" Jimmy looked at Francine and suddenly sneered. "I understand now. You're all in on this. You pulled me here, and she's trying to scam me.

"This is an organized scam, isn't it? I knew traditional medicine practitioners were all scum."

Aria's expression grew cold when she heard that. She was about to raise her hand.

Then, the boy spoke up in a weak but icy tone, "Traditional medicine has always been an essential part of Farshya's culture. You're a lousy doctor, sir. You should put more effort into studying."

"You…" Jimmy was at a loss for words. The boy spoke up right after he said he wasn't healed. The boy even spoke out against him. It was clear that the boy wasn't on his side.

Francine burst out into laughter. "Hey, kid. He's talking about you. You should put more effort into studying."

"I won't waste my breath with you bottom feeders anymore. You're just a group of peasants," Jimmy said in disdain.

Aria flicked a needle in his direction. It brushed past his face and got stuck in a tree nearby.

Such a violent display caused Jimmy to freeze up. Even his legs felt like they were about to give out.

Aria smiled as she said casually, "Don't you think you've forgotten about something?"

She was just a young woman, but she had a very vicious and commanding presence, which caused Jimmy to feel fear.

He tried to keep his cool. "What did I forget?"

"An apology," Aria said as she tapped on her phone. She looked devilishly charming.

Jimmy didn't want to do that. So, he said arrogantly, "Everyone makes mistakes. I don't have any more time to waste with a traditional medicine practitioner like you."

Francine couldn't stand his attitude anymore. "Is this how a student of Dr. Salome Gunther would act? You lost a bet to that young woman, and yet you refuse to apologize? Such ethics…"

"What's wrong with my ethics? Who here can prove I lost a bet to her? None of you will ever have enough money to pay for Dr. Gunther's treatment.

"Me being here and providing free medical services is an honor for all of you. How dare you peasants keep babbling about such nonsense? Don't you dare cause trouble here! Do you even know where you are right now?"

Francine's hands trembled in anger. "You… You!"

Jimmy snorted. He looked at all of them with utter disdain. They were in a modern society. He didn't believe that Aria would dare to do anything to him.

    Off to the side, Landon let his jaw slowly relax as he watched the whole thing. There was nothing but care and relief in his eyes. He stepped forward without saying a word and slipped an arm around Aria's shoulders to give her something to lean on. He was offering his own silent blessing to Aria and Rafael after everything they'd been through across both their lives. On the bed, Rafael gripped Aria's hand back hard. His body was still weak, but there was nothing weak about the look in his eyes. He looked at Aria and made himself a quiet promise. In this life, he would be both her older brother and her fellow apprentice from Hollowlight Sect. It didn't matter whether it was the life before or the one they were living now, and it didn't matter what hell they had to walk through. He would keep her safe and stay with her through all of it. Together, they would set right every regret and hold on to everyone who mattered, and nothing would ever pull them apart again. Out in the hal

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2262 Waking Up

    Rafael had never met any of these people or been part of any of these events. The warmth of those days and the brutal endings that came after were not his to live through. And yet all of it sat inside him as if it had been there since the day he was born. Every scene, every look on his fellow apprentices' faces, and the words they had shared all came back to him with painful clarity. He finally understood that this wasn't someone else's story. It was his own past life. They were memories sealed in the deepest part of his soul, the kind that no number of lifetimes would ever be enough to erase. The warmth had been the happiness he once held, and the pain had been a regret he could never make right. As for the young woman he had shielded behind his back, she was the fellow apprentice he had given his life to protect in that past life and ultimately failed to save. She had come back to him in this life as Aria, the sister he doted on with everything he had. So the stories in those

    Landon held Aria's hand tightly, applying gentle pressure with his fingertips to reassure her silently. He spoke softly. "The hospital has been updating us on his condition the entire time. The ambulance just arrived, and they're running tests now. If we head over now, the timing will be perfect."Landon had already arranged everything in advance. The moment he learned that Rafael had fallen unconscious, he contacted the hospital's best doctors and personally oversaw every step of the examination process. He didn't want Aria worrying more than necessary.When Aria heard that, her concern for Rafael deepened; her brows furrowed slightly, and anxiety flickered in her eyes. She still remembered what Fergus and Elijah had gone through when their memories awakened. It had not been an easy process. She feared Rafael might suffer even more. She tightened her grip on Landon's hand, her voice soft but filled with concern. "I just hope Rafael is only feeling unwell. If he's going through w

    All the racers stood with their heads lowered in shame and embarrassment. Their earlier arrogance was completely gone, leaving behind only the humiliation of defeat. The racers wished they could disappear beneath the crowd's mocking, contemptuous stares. Not a single one of them spoke. They quietly tended to their race cars, not even daring to look up and meet Aria's eyes. They had gone to great lengths and used every underhanded tactic they could think of to bring Aria down. In the end, it all ended in crushing defeat. They not only lost the race but also their dignity as competitors. They had become the laughingstock of the entire event.On the podium, Aria stood at the very top, holding the heavy championship trophy in her hands. A gold medal hung around her neck. All eyes were fixed on her, and the cheers never stopped. She looked out over the crowd below. Her expression was calm, yet she carried a commanding presence. The defeated racers beneath the podium never once lifted

    The shouts from the audience abruptly fell silent. Everyone clenched their fists, their breaths caught in their throats. The reporters locked their cameras onto the two cars, clicking their shutters furiously, afraid to miss a single second of the heart-stopping duel.Landon stood in the viewing area with his eyes fixed on Aria's car. His expression remained calm, almost indifferent, as though he had already anticipated the outcome.At the critical moment, Aria's focus sharpened completely. She saw through Hadrian's malicious intentions and heard the sharp screech of tires behind her. She didn't hesitate for even a fraction of a second.Her right hand kept the steering wheel steady while her left instantly activated the half nitrous boost. She released only half the power—enough to maintain speed while still allowing for a rapid directional change.At the same time, her right foot precisely controlled the throttle while her left lightly tapped the brake before releasing it immedi

    The crowd lining both sides of the track was already on its feet, craning for a better view. They gripped their signs as they shouted over the roar of the engines, the noise echoing throughout the entire circuit. Reporters packed the sidelines with cameras raised and lenses fixed on the starting line. Shutters clicked rapidly as flashes burst one after another, capturing the tense moments before the race began. At the finish line, the starter stood in the control tower with a bright red flag in hand. His sharp gaze swept across every car lined up in position. Over the radio, track marshals confirmed that each checkpoint was ready. Every detail had been checked, and all that remained was the signal to begin.Aria sat inside the cockpit. The enclosed space muted most of the noise outside, but the violent vibration of the engine still surged through the seat and steering wheel, resonating faintly with her steady heartbeat.Lowering her gaze, she brushed her fingers over the textured
