Chapter 197 Stay Here With Me
“Stay here with me.” Christopher pursed his lips and stared at Natalie intently. “Otherwise, how would I know if you’re trying to drug me with the medicinal bath?”
“Obviously, you know nothing about trust.” She crossed her arms and scoffed furiously, “I’m here to heal you, but you never treat me as your doctor at all!”
Unfazed, he leisurely rested his arms on the edge of the hot tub and closed his eyes slowly. “You’re right.”
“You-”
When she was about to scold him, he cut her off with his eyes closed. “Those who can’t cure me of my illness are quacks. Only those who can heal me are doctors.”
Natalie snorted and moved as far as she could from him in the water, crossing her arms to wrap her shoulders tightly.
This lunatic is crazier than I imagined! If I were to harm him, as long as he let me treat him, I would have succeeded easily. I simply can’t understand his behaviors. He’s already terminally ill and has been suffering from extreme pain. Still, he is so doubtful of his doctor.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Natalie stayed with Christopher in the water throughout the process.
After two hours, he noticed that he was sweating profusely.
At the same time, he felt weak and tired.
“Why do I feel so uncomfortable?” asked Christopher.
“What I’ve prepared for you are all the traditional medicine that helps to excrete the unwanted substances out from your body.” She went over to him, grabbed his wrist, and checked his pulse attentively. “Those things trapped in your body for more than 20 years have been drawn out. That’s why you feel that weak all of a sudden. However, you’ll feel better after the acupuncture session.”
“You-”
“Stop calling me a quack,” she interjected and glared at him. “I don’t like it.”
Christopher looked through the cloud of steam and observed her beautiful eyes.
Captivated, he could not help but recall the performance during the auction.
Although the dancer was graceful and attractive as well, Natalie caught his eyes while she played the piano quietly with her face half-covered by a veil.
Christopher remained silent after that.
With Nicholas’s help, Christopher wrapped his body in a towel and walked out of the water.
On the contrary, Natalie came out drenched. No one even cared whether she would catch a cold.
Christopher lay on the bed with the color drained off his face.
Taking out the crystal needles from a bag, Natalie placed them at many acupuncture points on Christopher’s body in sequence.
Each needle was placed quickly and accurately.
She was so focused that she had completely forgotten the fact her clothes were still dripping wet.
When all the needles were put in place, the frown on Christopher’s face gradually faded.
“Is he okay?” asked Nicholas in concern.
Natalie gestured to silence him and whispered, “Don’t worry. He just fell asleep. When I take out the needles from his body after half an hour, he’ll wake up.”
Half an hour later, she removed all the crystal needles from his body.
As soon as Christopher opened his eyes, he felt immensely relaxed and comfortable. It was a feeling that he had never had before.
“You’re awake,” she said.
Christopher nodded. “Yes.”
Natalie then grabbed a small bottle from her medical kit and took out a white pill from it.
“This is a pill that I prepare for you.” She put the pill into her mouth and scoffed, “I know you’re afraid to die. Do you believe me now?”
