The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 608

As Mirabella reached the doorway, she turned and said, “Nick, you head back to your room. I'll grab my silver needles.”

Nick nodded, “Alright.”

In just a bit, Mirabella returned with her case and stepped into Nick's room.

As she opened the case and took out the needles, she instructed, “Nick, lie down at the foot of the bed. It’ll be easier for me to work that way.”

Nick complied, lying down and staring up at the ceiling. Even though he was dead tired, sleep just wouldn’t come whenever he closed his eyes.

Mirabella took out the silver needles and noticed an incense burner on a nearby coffee table, its ashes completely burnt out. She dismissed the sight and approached the bed, her slender fingers finding their way to Nick’s temples, gently massaging them with a rhythmic touch.

With his eyes closed, Nick felt the pressure on his temples relaxing him considerably, a soothing comfort spreading through him.

His sister, young as she was, had surprisingly adept skills at acupressure.

Nick was rather astonished.

After a few minutes, Mirabella picked up the silver needles, precisely targeting the acupoints between his eyebrows and at the crown of his head. Once those were in place, she took two shorter needles and started to meticulously insert them into the acupoints responsible for alleviating insomnia.

The process was slow; the needles needed to be eased in gradually to reach the desired effect.

Nick, who had only been humoring the idea, found himself unwittingly drifting off to sleep, his face relaxing into a peaceful expression.

Mirabella glanced at him and continued her precise work. Twenty minutes later, she withdrew the needles.

The sleeping figure had sunk into a deep slumber. Mirabella sterilized the needles and placed them back into the case.

She paused for a moment, then leaned over the edge of the bed, taking Nick’s hand that rested atop the covers.

The diagnosis was clear: a deficiency of both heart and spleen energy, fatigue, shortness of breath, a weak pulse, and severe insomnia.
