Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Chapter 179

“Headway Acupoint, Divine Court Acupoint, Sol Acupoint, and Cordial Acupoint! The process will conclude once you place the needles into these four acupoints. Don’t forget about it, okay?” Sebastian reminded as he placed the last needle.

Winnie, who was observing at the side, nodded. “I’ve recorded it in my phone’s memo.”

“Good! Now, you need to pay attention to the time. Usually, the needles will stay on the patient’s body for around twenty-five minutes. You may extend the period according to the patient’s condition. Now that the patient over here isn’t moving, I’ll check the medicine you grabbed earlier.”

“Okay!”

Just as she finished her sentence, she heard Xavier’s voice.

He sounded gloomy, as though he was aggrieved. “Come over here, Dumbo.”

She was stunned for a second before realizing she had been focusing all her attention on studying and had totally forgotten about his existence. “Can I go there and take a look at him myself, Old Mr. Xander?”

The old man waved his hand avoidantly. “Go ahead. Although, remember not to talk too much with the patient.”

Then, he quickly stepped toward the medicine cabinet. Couples nowadays sure do love giving each other weird nicknames. Even though Winnie is such an intelligent woman, her husband calls her Dumbo.

When his train of thought ended there, Sebastian had goosebumps.

Currently, Winnie was standing next to Xavier, who was lying down.

Looking down at him, she pressed her finger to his lips. “Don’t talk. All you need to do right now is to lie down here quietly. Just pretend you’re a dummy.”

His eyebrows furrowed. “You’re abandoning me?”

“You don’t have to worry about me going too far away. In a while, I’ll be heading out to prepare your medicine. You’ll be able to hear me talk even when I’m outside.”

“Why are you learning these things?” Xavier frowned even more intensely. “There’s no need for you to do this. You can let somebody else do it instead.”

“No. There are some things that I wish I can do it myself!”

When Sebastian placed the needles into the acupoints earlier, she saw the old man’s hand trembling. If everything went according to his wishes, his granddaughter, Yolanda, would take over his responsibilities.

While the old man wholeheartedly believed in his granddaughter, Winnie was worried about putting Xavier in Yolanda’s hand.

Xavier’s mouth opened. “But—”

“No buts!” Winnie hated how fussy he was. He’s wasting my precious time arguing about this with me.

Thus, she cut him off. Since no one was around them at the moment, she lowered her head and kissed his lips.

Even though she only gave him a light peck, he felt as though he had tasted ambrosia and wanted more.

Sensing Xavier’s intention, Winnie directly pressed his neck to stop him and warned, “Behave yourself! Otherwise, once I learn acupuncture, I’ll cripple you. Be a good boy, all right?”

“You’re getting bolder, Dumbo!” Despite his furrowed eyebrows, he couldn’t muster any anger as he stared at her.

In fact, he liked it when his Dumbo acted like that.

Winnie couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with him any longer, so after she gave him another peck, she went straight to Sebastian.

When she arrived, Sebastian had completed the examination.

“Not bad. Sixty grams of aconite, forty grams of dried ginger, twenty grams of turtle shell, ten grams of cinnamon, twenty-five grams of amomom, and twenty grams of licorice. All six of these ingredients are exactly the right amount, no more, no less. I noticed how fast and accurate you were when you were grabbing the ingredients. I almost can’t tell you’re new to this. You’re quite suitable for this job,” he praised.

Despite his compliments, Winnie still acted very humbly. “As you said, this isn’t anything noteworthy. There is more for me to learn.”

It brought joy to the old man to see a youngster who was neither arrogant nor impatient like her.

“Take your time to learn the art of medicine one step at a time. There’s no way anyone can master it overnight. Oh yeah, why hasn’t your doctor friend returned yet? He seems to have been gone for a long while.”
