Chapter 918 Date Part Four
Jerry noticed he was acting a little too excited and got embarrassed. So, he quickly pretended like he didn’t care. “You aren’t lying to me, right?”
Natalie could act pretty straightforwardly with him, but since he still insisted on putting on his arrogant façade, she decided to play along.
“It’s up to you to believe me or not.”
He then muttered in a small voice, “I didn’t say I don’t believe you…”
When he had an acute asthma attack, it was her who used acupuncture to treat him. He knew what she was capable of, which was why he didn’t doubt her medical skills.
“What did you say? I can’t hear you.” She smiled mischievously.
“Help me treat my asthma,” Jerry mumbled in a vague, embarrassed manner.
“What?”
“Help me treat my asthma!” he roared as his face was flushed. “Is this loud enough for you?”
She giggled as she had her fun teasing him. “Okay!”
He looked around and whispered, “Should I look for a nearby hotel?”
“A hotel?” Natalie was confused.
“Aren’t you going to do it with acupuncture?” Jerry scratched his head. “You aren’t seriously going to make me take off my shirt and perform acupuncture on me on the street, right? I’m still the son of the Jones family. I’m going to embarrass myself if I do that.”
She rolled her eyes at him. Not only is he prideful, but he’s also exceptionally particular with his image.
“There’s no need to go to a hotel.” Her eyes glinted as she pulled out a bottle from her pocket, removed a black pill from the container, and gave it to him. “You only need to eat this to get your asthma treated.”
“Just like that?” He stared at her with doubt.
He had been afflicted with asthma since the day he was born.
Ever since he was a child, the Jones family had hired all kinds of famous doctors from inside and outside the country to treat his condition. However, all of them failed. Because of that, he even tried questionable treatments and medicines, like eating lizard tails and the like.
He believed in Natalie’s medical skills, but he didn’t believe that eating a medicinal pill would fix his condition.
Seeing that Jerry hesitated to eat it, she raised her eyebrows. “Are you afraid its poisonous?”
“I don’t care.” He took in a deep breath, grabbed the pill, and threw it into his mouth. “If anything happens to me, you’re going down with me…”
Without the help of water, he swallowed it.
Soon after it entered his digestive system, he felt a bone-chilling sensation coming from his abdomen.
Surprisingly, that sensation traveled through the veins in his body and arrived at his lungs, making that particular organ of his feel refreshing. Not only that, it made his entire body feel more relaxed. Even his breathing felt much smoother.
He tried to take a few more breaths.
Each breath he took was full and long. Not only that, it had never been easier for him to breathe.
Jerry turned his wet eyes to Natalie. “Thank you.”
“If you want your asthma to be treated completely, you just need to eat one pill every day until the bottle’s empty.” She then pointed at the cattery behind her. “Don’t you want to play with that white shorthair? You can join me inside if you like.”
Can I? He was about to ask that question before he stopped himself. Why am I still doubting her? She may be a little crass sometimes, and she never butters me up like other women, but her medical skills are undeniable. Even if it doesn’t work, as long as I follow her, she’ll take care of my asthma.
“Okay,” he replied.
Jerry was still feeling a little uncertain as he entered the cattery with Natalie.
However, when he stepped into the cattery and realized he wasn’t having any trouble breathing, his heart leaped in joy.
