Chapter 34: Into His Arms
Upon hearing this, everyone was a bit astonished. They had seen many doctors attempt to treat Jasper, but it was the first time someone had requested to undress him.
Felix was the first to react, cautiously asking, "Is this necessary?"
Chloe inexplicably glanced at him and replied, "Yes. I need to treat Mr. Jasper Quilliam, and the clothes are in the way. Can someone please help? Please do it quickly."
For a moment, everyone in the room, including the previous medical team, looked at each other. What kind of treatment required the patient to undress?
After hesitating for a while, Felix walked over.
Seeing her brother compromise, Amy became anxious. "What kind of treatment is this? Why..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Chloe open the medical kit she carried with her and take out an antique wooden box containing something like a scroll made of sheepskin. After unfolding it, there were neatly arranged hundreds of silver needles, large and small.
Amy was shocked by what she saw, and her words were choked back.
Chloe focused on taking out the necessary silver needles and disinfecting them with alcohol. Amy's words only circled around her ears and were completely ignored.
In front of her, Felix struggled to support Jasper, half-dragging him to lean against himself. With one hand stabilizing his body, he laboriously undressed Jasper. Jasper had no consciousness at the moment, let alone any cooperation. As a result, Felix's task became quite challenging.
Quintus firmly watched Chloe's series of movements on the sickbed, his eyes gradually deepening.
Seeing Felix's difficult actions, he placed Grace on the ground and instructed, "Daddy is going to help Felix. Be a good girl. Don't run around, okay?"
Grace obediently nodded, her eyes eagerly watching Daddy pass through the crowd, stand by the sickbed, and silently start assisting Felix in undressing Jasper.
"Thank you," Felix said with gratitude, glancing at him.
Quintus nodded in silence.
Chloe also noticed Quintus appearing by the sickbed. Her eyes trembled for a moment but quickly regained composure, focusing on the silver needles in her hands.
Soon, Jasper's clothes were completely removed, revealing his emaciated body to everyone.
Chloe had anticipated this, and she solemnly instructed the two, "Support him steady; I'm going to start needling."
Felix nodded with a serious expression.
Chloe glanced at Quintus, saw no reaction or words from him, took a deep breath, and began cautiously needling Jasper.
After the first needle was inserted, a scolding voice immediately sounded in the room, "What are you doing? How can you randomly needle this acupuncture point?" It was Amy speaking. Coming from a medical family, although not proficient in acupuncture, she could tell that Chloe's needle placement was very dangerous. Ordinary people might even lose their lives due to such a needle, let alone an elderly man in weakened health.
Amy's face was tense, with a mix of panic and anger in her eyes. "If you don't know how, don't mess around! What are you doing now? Do you want to kill my grandfather?"
After speaking, she pushed Chloe forcefully.
Chloe also heard her questioning, contemplating the placement of the second needle, and didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, Amy rushed over suddenly. Chloe was caught off guard and was pushed by her, causing her to lose balance and almost fall to the side. In the end, she practically collided into Quintus's arms.
