Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin)

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Alan moved his fingers and felt the pain.

As long as he stayed still, it wasn't too bad, but the moment he tried to move, a sharp, searing pain rippled through his entire body.

He froze for a moment as he realized that the constant agitation in his chest had eased. His relentless craving for blood wasn't as strong either.

Slowly, Alan opened his eyes, glancing at Suzanne with a hint of disbelief. Could acupuncture alone really have done so much?

He'd seen alternative medicine doctors before, but none had been able to help. Their treatments were useless, which was why he had developed such a deep disdain for alternative medicine doctors no matter how "renowned" they were.

Feeling Suzanne's gaze on him, he cleared his throat and replied in a hoarse voice, "The symptoms have eased a lot."

Suzanne nodded knowingly. After some time, she stepped forward and carefully removed the silver needles from his body, one by one.

When she was done, Alan looked as if he had just been soaked in water. His entire body was drenched in sweat, the sticky discomfort making him fidget.

Suzanne noticed his unease and calmly instructed, "No bathing or exercise for now. If you want to eat, stick to light, liquid meals, and only a few bites at a time."

Alan nodded. He reclined slightly, letting himself relax. His body hadn't felt this light and free in forever.

Looking at Suzanne, he said softly, "Thank you."

Though the words came out stiff and awkward, he was sincere.

Suzanne raised an eyebrow but didn't respond. She was mildly surprised that Alan would soften up.

After packing up her silver needles, she headed out. The moment she opened the door, Richard and Shane rushed forward.
