Chapter 180
Elena was mind-blown when she heard those words.
Humiliation consumed her entire being!
“I knew it! This guy has always been up to no good!” Elena thought to herself.
“Even if I call for help now, no one would answer me.”
She struggled to support herself, her eyes glinting with anger. “Don’t you dare to touch me! I won’t let you get away with it, not over my dead body!”
Unperturbed, Chases seated himself in a chair near the bed and said, “Okay, I will wait here, for as long as you want.
He wasn’t in a hurry because he already knew what Elena’s illness was.
This illness wasn’t lethal, but the pain sure was going to make her cringe.
Moreover, Elena’s disease had already progressed to an advanced stage.
Seeing Chase’s calm demeanor, Elena wanted to kill him on the spot.
D*mn it!
The little b*stard was far too arrogant for his own good!
“Does he really plan on consuming me today?” Elena fumed inwardly.
Her hands clutched at her dress in a death grip.
Chase voiced, “Next, the symptoms will progress onto your armpit and then your cheek. By the time the pain goes to your cranium, you probably won’t even have the
strength to scold me.”
Indeed, when Elena placed her hands under her armpits, pain spread through her body as she writhed in agony.
In no time at all, the searing pain spread to her cheeks, and the sensation was similar to that of second degree burns. She clawed at her face in desperation, as if tearing her face apart would make the pain go away.
She gradually grew more horrified.
“The little b*stard was spot on again!”
The pain had already spread to her cheeks Will it really spread to her cranium?
Was death really imminent for her?
Her survival instincts kicked in once more as she looked towards Chase,
Elena was reluctant and resentful, but a hint of desperation shone through as she pieaded, “Can you really save me? Is there really no way to do it without taking my clothes off?”
Placidly, Chase replied, “Feel free to keep them on. However, if my needles miss their marks, your death will come sooner.”
Humiliation!
Indignation!
Multiple strong emotions began to bury her arrogance.
They pushed her off from her throne, she was no longer a high-and-mighty princess.
She was naught but a pathetic patient struggling weakly on her deathbed.
Her heart was torn by inner conflict, and she could not make up her mind.
She had been guarding her chastity for over thirty years!
Never had there been a man who treated her like this.
Would today be the day that she went against her own principles?
And to make things worse, it would be to a man she loathed above everything else!
Amidst her conflict, she felt a twitch on her forehead!
Her heart instantly went cold!
He was right again!
It had already reached her forehead.
As her subconscious took over, she cried and shouted, “I agree! I agree! Save me!”
Before she finished, her world went white.
Her consciousness faded, as she drifted into a sea of white.
When she came to her senses, what she saw sent goosebumps crawling all over her skin!
Through the mirror opposite her, she could see a strange silver needle poking out from her forehead!
On top of one of her acupoints, Holy Court was a needle!
The upper half of the needle was twinkling with a mysterious red light!
She was scared out of her wits, but she also noticed that the pain in her forehead was subsiding.
In that instant, she finally placed her trust in Chase.
Closing her eyes, streaks of tears flowed once again from the corner of her eyes.
“You.” She pointed at Chase. “Close your eyes.”
However, Chase remained distant as he responded, “How can I perform acupuncture with my eyes closed?”
Elena was taken aback by his words.
Throughout her whole life, she had been soaring high above in the sky, like a prideful eagle, yet now, she was being stepped on like the dirt beneath Chase’s feet!
It was a huge blow to her ego; she felt as if she was standing on the precipice of exhaustion.
Slowly, she took off her dress.
Her eyes were red with tears and anger.
She wanted to skin Chase alive.
if you cannot cure me today, mark my words, I will haunt you to the ends of the Earth!” Elena said with tearfully.
Chase, however, remained as unflustered as ever. “Move faster. You’re dawdling.”
Yet another blow at her shattering self esteem!
She had made up her mind!
Empowered by sudden strength and determination, she tore her dress in half.
Her delicate, fair skin lay bare before Chase Her body was quivering, but it was hard to tell whether it was from sharne or from pain.
She had made up her mind. If she died, she would be sure to bring Chase down with her!
If she lived, she would gouge his eyeballs out!
There was no room for forgiveness in her quest for retribution!
“Why are you waiting?!” Elena roared as tears and snot rolled down her face.
Chase still had his eyes on her.
He sneered. “You regard yourself as a princess, don’t you? I couldn’t care less about how you look. My wife is much more beautiful than you.”
Elena was dumbfounded.
This good-for-nothing’s wife was Bella, the stunning beauty of Golden City.
What the f*ck!
Her edge of irritation and anger returned at once!
Her dignity had been completely trampled on by this little b*stard!
Chase picked an eye mask in one swift motion and threw it at her. “Put it on.” Chase instructed.
Elena’s mind was boggled.
It was already bad enough that she could not get him to close his eyes. But now, he wanted her to close hers instead?
He was a b*stard who had no conscience at all!
“We doctors treat all our patients as if they are our own children. In my eyes, you are no more than a corpse. Don’t think too highly of yourself,” Chase said again.
Elena erupted on the spot and sneered, “Should I call you ‘father’ then?!”
“You can do as you please,” Chase said as he helped her put on the blindfold.
The pain grew so excruciating that Elena started thrashing around.
“Next, I will be performing acupuncture, Relax, and remain as still as you can, especially your torso.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
As her vision was taken from her, she almost fainted in frustration.
How could she relax?!
How could she lie still!
“Thirty years! For thirty years I have kept my purity! How can you expect me to be still when I am exposed and vulnerable in front of a stranger?” Elena cried internally.
Seeing Elena was about to throw a fit, Chase administered a needle to the middle of He spinal column.
“It’s better to knock you out.” Elena’s heart ached at Chase’s muttering as she fainted once again.
She had no clue how long she spent out of commission.
Moments later, Elena roused.
Frantically, she checked all over her body.
She was under a blanket, and her body was no longer in pain.
Instinctively, she raised her hand to her face.
At her touch, she realized the redness and swelling she had gotten used to seeing the past half a year was gone, and her beauty had returned.
Giddily, she wanted to scream in excitement.
However, her urge was suppressed by the sight of the despicable figure sitting at the foot of the bed.
Fortunately, her body was not violated.
“That’s all for today. You’ll need three more Session to completely rid yourself of the disease, get some rest.” Seeing that she had woken up, Chase got up and walked out of the door.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Tyrion pacing back and forth in the hall.
At the sight of Chase, Tyrion excitedly rushed forward and grabbed his hand.
“Chase, how is it?”
“She is fine now. I’ve already briefed her through everything that she needs to know,”
Chase replied casually.
Tyrion asked, “What’s wrong with my granddaughter? I’ve been worried about her over the past half year!”
Chase paused for a moment and said, “What Elena had was not a disease.”
“No? Then it must be poison, yes?” Tyrion was stupefied.
Chase shook his head. “Neither. The root cause is venom!”
He drawled, “The Green Snake Venom.”
