Arielle Moore and Vinson Nightshire

Chapter 120

Chapter 120 You Will Have To Get Past Me First

Vinson was concerned at Arielle’s worn disposition. “Are you alright?”

Arielle responded in the negative even though she was a little short of breath. “I’m fine. Combining

needling on the head with that on the body will produce the best results, so I must continue.”

With that, she produced a handful of silver-plated needles from the pouch and removed the patient’s

shirt so that she may begin to place the needles sequentially.

Compared to the initial placements on the head, the rapid pace at which she worked on the body was

so many times faster that all Jordan could see was the trail of her right hand.

Before he could catch the sight of her hand in full, a total of twelve silver-plated needles had already

been jabbed into eight acupoints located throughout the man’s body.

Jordan gasped in astonishment, “This speed… How long have you been single, Ms. Moore?”

That drew a quizzical look from Arielle.

Jordan giggled nervously. “Uh, never mind. How long do they need to stay on?”

“Ten min…”

Before she was able to enunciate “minutes”, Arielle’s strength deserted her. Her vision blackened and

her entire body slumped backwards.

“Look out!” Vinson rushed over and was able to catch the fainting woman in time, and discovered that This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

her body was clammy when his arm accidentally came in contact with her neck.

“Dr. Jankowitsch!” Vinson shouted while he lifted up and carried Arielle over to the hospital bed.

Klaus was taken by surprise as well and hastened over to check on her.

An unsettled Vinson asked after a series of examining. “How’s she doing?”

“It was nothing serious. Just exhaustion. She should be better after lying down for a while, but I could

get the nurse over to put her on a drip if you are still worried,” Klaus replied, looking a little more

relaxed.

“Then hurry.”

Klaus grunted in acknowledgment and hurried outside, only to crash head-along into Carter who was

coming in from the opposite direction.

“Ouch…” Klaus groaned while he rubbed at his head.

“What are you in such a hurry for?” Carter barked in displeasure.

Before Klaus could answer, Carter had already spotted Arielle lying in the one bed, and the foreign man

with needles in his head on the other.

“How could you let her poke needles into that bugger’s head?” he fumed with a furrow before he

stormed toward the bed with the intention of pulling the needles off..

“Carter!” The eagle-eyed Vinson swiftly seized upon his hand. “What are you trying to do?”

“What do you think?” Carter’s eyes reddened amidst his own consternation. “As if it’s not crazy enough

to have needles in body, you had to have them in his head as well? Let go!”

Not only did Vinson not relinquish his grip, he went on to hold on ever more firmly.

“Arielle said that these need to stay in for half an hour. Dr. Jankowitsch has been keeping watch by the

side so it’s going to be fine. Don’t mess this up.”

That had Carter scoffing, “Not only was that punk Harvey bewitched, and now you too? This is the

human head we’re talking about! If this continues and that guy dies, how are we to find those who put

him up to it?”

The observing Jordan could no longer withhold himself. “Ms. Moore has already passed out, Vin, so I

don’t think we can count on her to treat the guy any longer. Maybe we should remove the needles as

it’s kind of creeping me out…”

Vinson remained unmoved as he spat, “Heck no!”

“Vinson Nightshire!” Carter said in dismay, “You’re in over your head and going to ruin everything!

Hands off now, or you’ll regret it!”

Vinson’s eyes darkened. “Not happening. If you want to pull them out, you’ll have to get past me first!”
