Just as they were talking, the bodyguard ushered Dr. Funke into the room.
Dr. Funke was still in his lab coat, having been hauled over before he could even change. Yet, instead of showing any signs of resentment for being dragged in, he wore a mocking smile as he walked into the room.
"Master," Lydia called out nervously, holding a set of acupuncture needles in her hands.
Seeing Dr. Funke, Thalassa greeted him with a guilty and apologetic tone, "Dr. Funke."
"I see the placement on the head isn't bad, but what about the leg here? Why are we missing a needle?" Dr. Funke approached Lysander, inspecting the needles placed in him, and began giving Lydia an impromptu lesson.
Embarrassed, Lydia admitted, "I misplaced one."
"The most crucial needle in the leg and you misplaced it? You've never made such a rookie mistake during practice. What, not used to working on a real person?" Dr. Funke quizzed.
David was taken aback. What was Dr. Funke saying?
His apprentice was using their esteemed Lysander for practice?
Their prestigious Mr. Sinclair, treated as a test subject? Could Mr. Sinclair tolerate this?
Shocked, David feared for Lydia's future.
Daring to use Lysander as a test subject, was she out of her mind?
As surprised as David was, he couldn't help but glance at Lysander, noticing his face darken like an ink spill, clearly upset.
Lydia, good luck to you.
Hearing his pained groan, her anxiety and tension soared.
"See, just like that. Now, try the other leg for me," Dr. Funke said, unaffected by the surroundings and continuing his instruction to Lydia.
Lydia, sweating bullets, quickly nodded, "Yes, Master."
Usually, no one felt pain when Dr. Funke applied needles.
But this time, Lysander's reaction was clearly more painful than when Lydia had made her mistake.
Lydia couldn't help but wonder, was Dr. Funke doing this on purpose?
"Dr. Funke, David has already apologized. It was his idea to have you brought here by the bodyguard, and it has nothing to do with Lysander. You don't need to take it out on him, making Lysander suffer like this," Rosalind couldn't stand it anymore and confronted Dr. Funke, visibly upset.
