The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1044

David looked a bit bewildered. How could someone so young have such impressive acupuncture skills? It was, honestly, a bit of a blow to his ego.

No wonder they didn’t bother hiding the procedure from him. Watching wouldn’t have helped him learn something so advanced.

Mirabella let the golden thread weave through the veins near Frank's heart for a bit before she began the delicate task of removing the needles. Taking them out wasn't any easier than putting them in—actually, it was trickier.

Ten minutes later, Mirabella pulled out the last silver needle. “All done.”

She was looking a bit pale, her sweat trickling down her forehead and into her collar. After she re-sterilized the needles, she dragged a chair over and collapsed into it to rest.

Frank was drenched in sweat too. The moment the golden thread entered his body, the sharp, concentrated pain nearly made him lose his composure.

David handed him a towel, helped him sit up, and then quickly checked his pulse.

It was steady—actually, it was normal??

David took a deep breath and checked again, finding the same result. Suddenly, he turned to Mirabella, “Is he healed now?”

Mirabella took a sip of the water Johnny handed her, her voice calm, “Not yet.”

David hesitated, “But his pulse is stable. How come?”

Leaning back in her chair, Mirabella rubbed her wrist, “The body has its own rhythm of metabolism, and some elements in the blood need to get processed. But stubborn elements like toxins, if you forcefully remove them, it can just speed up aging, especially in older folks. Aggressive treatments aren’t always the best.”

“To fully rid the body of accustomed toxins, you first have to create a ‘normal’ illusion. After they adapt to it for a while, you can gently remove them without any side effects. This is called the pseudo-cure method.”

It was rare for Mirabella to explain things so thoroughly.

David took a moment to process this, still not fully wrapping his head around it, “So, we need to do another acupuncture session later?”
