Chapter 37: The First Time Being So Close to Someone

This time, with no one disturbing them, Chloe's treatment process went much smoother. In no time, several silver needles were already inserted into the chest of Jasper. Throughout the process, Chloe hardly blinked, completely absorbed in her treatment of Jasper. She was so focused on her work that she didn't notice Quintus, who was staring at her fixedly at this moment. When they were downstairs, Quintus had already reviewed Chloe's resume for the past few years. Her resume was flawless, and one could imagine how splendid her life had been over the last six years. However, this was the first time he saw her in a different light. Her concentration during the treatment and the assertiveness when talking about her profession were things he had never seen in her before. Seeing all of this today, his emotions were somewhat indescribable. On the side, Felix had been observing Chloe's needling locations and expressions. As dozens of silver needles were inserted, he was pleasantly surprised, thinking that this doctor might really be able to save his grandfather. When the first silver needle was inserted, Felix, like everyone present, found it absurd. However, recalling Chloe's expression at that moment, he strangely felt that he could trust her. So, he insisted on keeping her around. Currently, seeing Chloe's calm demeanor every time she inserted a needle, along with her skilled and proficient technique, Felix was increasingly convinced of her real capabilities! Moreover, he noticed that Chloe had inserted these dozens of needles in almost perilous locations. Any slight mistake could not only undo all the previous work but also risk his grandfather's life! He believed that Chloe wouldn't have the courage to jeopardize his grandfather's life. In other words, her research on acupuncture and acupoints was indeed top-notch! Thinking about this, Felix felt a mix of joy and admiration for Chloe from the bottom of his heart. Although this woman seemed to be younger than him, she already possessed such great skill, making her someone not to be underestimated. The room fell into silence. After nearly twenty minutes, with sweat on her forehead, Chloe finished inserting the last silver needle, revealing a somewhat relaxed expression on her face. "It's done. Your grandfather should be fine with these. Remove the needles in an hour," She looked at the two people beside the sickbed and said. Felix let out a long breath, carefully positioning his grandfather at the head of the bed and asked, "When is my grandfather likely to wake up?" "After removing the needles, he should wake up." Chloe stood up, wanting to grab a tissue to wipe off the sweat. As she reached for the tissue box, someone carefully tugged at the corner of her clothes." Chloe paused in her movements, tilting her head in confusion, and met the sparkling eyes of Grace. Even though she knew this was Quintus's child with someone else, she couldn't harden her heart when faced with this angelic and adorable little face. Seeing her gaze, Grace lowered her head and pulled out a neatly folded handkerchief from her pocket. Standing on her tiptoes, she held it up to Chloe with eager eyes. After hesitating for a few seconds, Chloe smiled at her and said, "Thank you." With that, she reached out and accepted the handkerchief from the little girl. Grace beamed with happiness, turned around, and went to pour water for her. On the side, Quintus silently watched as Grace walked around with enthusiasm, his gaze deepening. Grace was taking the initiative to get close to someone for the first time. However, thinking about their relationship, he felt it was only natural. Unaware of the background, Felix was surprised and commented, "Dr. Stanhope, Grace really likes you. This is the first time I've seen her get so close to someone."
