Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 173

If one doesn’t trust the medical skills of Jonathan and Annalise, don’t bother seeking them to provide treatment. If they could be trusted, no clowns should stand in their way and make ridiculous remarks. This concerns saving lives, a matter of life and death. Was this child’s play? How could they treat the illness and administer acupuncture amidst the ruckus? Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Annalise told Julian to tend to his matters when he left in the morning. He had arranged for the chauffeur to send Annalise to the Zeller family’s residence. He initially thought that with a big shot in the medical world like Jonathan around, Annalise would not be bullied.

Who would have thought things had escalated so quickly just moments before he reached? Everyone in the Zeller family was useless except for Jason. Fortunately, he turned the car around at the last minute. Otherwise, something big would have happened today The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. He had a dark look on his face.

Annalise didn’t have time to talk to Julian and quickly removed the needles from the old lady. Once she had removed the needles, she would start administering Murray’s 49 Needles. Seeing that Annalise had removed the needles, Jasper frowned as he watched from afar.

Next, he saw Annalise administering acupuncture again. Her acupuncture speed was so fast it looked as if it was random. “Mrs. Parks, is all this random poking going to work?” He could not help but ask. “Shut up!” Julian shouted. Jasper was speechless. After all, he was a famous young master in Jadeborough!

Annalise inserted more than 20 needles in one go. She was so tired that her forehead was starting to sweat. Seeing the beads of sweat on Anna’s forehead, Jonathan immediately took a tissue and wanted to wipe it off. “Let me do it!” Julian immediately took the tissue. He didn’t want Jonathan to help with such things.

Although Julian knew that Jonathan’s feelings for Annalise were pure and was protective of her like an older brother, he was still unwilling to let Johnathan wipe off her sweat. Annalise took a deep breath, held it, and continued administering acupuncture.

After inserting over 10 needles, she was so tired that her face turned pale. Seeing how tiring it seemed to Annalise, Jasper’s frown deepened. Was this even going to work? Isn’t inserting needles something easy? It’s just inserting a needle gently and twisting it slightly, but why does it look so taxing with the sweating forehead and pale face?

Could it be? Suddenly, Jasper’s expression changed drastically. He felt that Annalise’s face was pale from fear. Fear of putting Madam Zeller to death from her inability to treat her, fear of being charged with murder. He took a step forward and was about to speak when Julian threw him a sharp look. “Shut up! Whatever you have to say, hold it in!” Julian scolded.

Jasper kept quiet. He had a grim expression, and his brows furrowed in worry. Fine, he shall stay silent. Everything could wait until Annalise was done with acupuncture. If anything were to happen to Madam Zeller, he would pursue matters till the end, regardless of who they were “Blech…” The old lady started vomiting blood again.

Jasper wanted to say something out of instinct but forced himself to shut up when he caught Julian’s piercing gaze. Following that, the old lady started convulsing yet again. Miraculously, the old lady’s twitching was different from before. Earlier, the more she twitched, the more she curled up into a ball. Now, her body was slowly stretching out as she twitched.

The biggest difference was that her palms, which were initially twitching and twisted together, were now back to normal. Slowly, her mouth was no longer crooked, and her face had stopped contorting.

Soon afterwards, her limbs gradually relaxed and stretched out. She had shut her eyes tightly in pain, but now she could open them slightly before closing them again. She no longer grunted in pain and

instead let out a sigh of relief. Annalise finally finished administering Murray’s 49 Needles.

After she was done, her body felt light. Jonathan was about to help her up when Julian pulled her into his arms. “Senior Brother, help me to remove the needles 15 minutes later,” Annalise said weakly. “Alright, leave it to me,” Jonathan replied. Jasper was shocked. Senior Brother? What did she mean?

Wasn’t Annalise Jonathan’s sister from the village? Why did she address him as Senior Brother? Senior Brother? Jonathan was Joseph Quigley’s eldest disciple, and Annalise called him Senior Brother. Could it be that Annalise was also Joseph’s disciple? If that was the case, then everything made sense. Annalise could easily take out a can of Energizing Pill.

Annalise was also a skilled calligrapher. Many older people practiced calligraphy, including Master Quigley Could it be possible that Annalise learned calligraphy from him since young? Yes, that must be it! “Honey, let’s go home!” Julian carried Annalise.

His tone implied that they would never come back again. Jasper panicked and immediately said, “Mr. Parks, Mrs. Parks must be exhausted. You should let her rest in the guestroom for now.” He immediately opened the door and led the way. “Right this way!” He was filled with regret.

He must have been distracted by Jane’s constant yelling and his own concern for Madam Zeller’s well- being which made him doubt Annalise’s medical skills. Now that he thought about it carefully, if Annalise’s medical skills were lacking, would she even administer acupuncture? It was also impossible for a big shot like Jonathan to let Annalise mess around with acupuncture.

Who was Jonathan? He was Master Quigley’s eldest disciple, and his fame as a doctor was widespread globally. Many wanted Jonathan to be their surgeon, but they could not even get an appointment! If he said he could do it, then he definitely could. He was actually stupid enough to listen to Jane and Gwen. “No need.” Julian directly refused.

Jasper knew that he had made a huge mistake. If he had offended both of Joseph’s disciples, there would be no one else capable of treating Madam Zeller’s condition. After all, Jonathan had mentioned that he could treat Madam Zeller’s condition to a point where she would not be bedridden and could even walk.

He had seen it with his own eyes just now. Even before Annalise finished inserting all needles, Madam Zeller’s body had stopped convulsing. Her body started to relax and stretch out. The effect of acupuncture was far more effective and faster than Gwen’s method of massaging. Massaging was more tedious and took longer. He knew that he had messed up.

He wanted to correct himself once he knew he was in the wrong. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Park. I was blindsided, gullible, and ignorant. Please forgive me on the account that I was acting in shock after seeing my grandmother vomit blood. As long as Mrs. Parks is willing to continue to work on my grandmother, I swear to listen and obey you, no matter what happens.”

“What if I told you to die?” Julian retorted unhappily. It was embarrassing to see a grown man like him casually swearing. “I’ll kill myself immediately!” Jasper said. Julian saw how serious Jasper was. He didn’t feel like rebuking him anymore.

He also had a grandfather he cared deeply for. He knew how easy it was to be flustered over people they cared for. After all, not everyone could be as determined as him. He looked down at Annalise and asked her gently, “Honey, are we going to continue to treat Madam Zeller?” Jasper heard Julian ask Annalise. He immediately came over and looked at Annalise eagerly.
