"Cough cough..."
Two coughs echoed.
The butler watched in astonishnt as Susan Stone’s eyelashes fluttered twice before she slowly opened her eyes.
"She’s awake!" The butler shouted in delight.
Several bodyguards were also stunned.
Just monts ago, Sumr Monroe had perford acupuncture with speed, precision, and intensity. The rough n were apprehensive, fearing that Susan Stone might et her end under Sumr Monroe’s silver needles.
But the result... she actually woke up!
The butler seized the chance to break free from the two bodyguards’ restraint and rushed to Susan Stone’s side, crying tears of joy.
"Madam, you’re awake!"
Susan Stone’s vision was still a bit blurry, gradually becoming clearer after two seconds.
Seeing the butler crying beside her, she looked a bit confused.
"What... what happened to ?"
Damian Knight exhaled and said, "You fainted just now, and Sadie saved you."
"Sadie?" Susan Stone turned her gaze towards the pale-faced Sumr Monroe.
"Sadie is Sumr Monroe’s nickna," Damian Knight explained.
Susan Stone’s eyebrows furrowed instantly, looking at the butler with disbelief.
She was more inclined to trust the butler’s words over Damian Knight’s.
The butler quickly nodded and said, "The young master isn’t wrong. You just vomited blood and passed out, your whole body convulsed. It was terrifying. Miss Monroe used sothing to draw out the blood blocking you, then did acupuncture, which woke you up."
Susan Stone saw the silver needles on her arm, and now she had to believe it.
The butler wouldn’t deceive her.
For a mont, Susan Stone’s gaze was full of complexity.
Sumr Monroe spoke calmly, "You’re awake. I’ll remove the silver needles for you. You have high blood pressure, and you mustn’t stop taking antihypertensive pills. Take the dicine now, with the dosage doubled from usual."
The butler hurriedly got so water to help Susan Stone take the dicine.
Susan Stone swallowed the pills, feeling a tallic taste in her throat, but her whole body felt refreshed, as if the fainting episode just now was a re dream.
Susan Stone bit her lip, looking at Sumr Monroe, who was still removing needles for her, and said coldly, "Don’t think that saving ans I can accept you and Damian being together. You’re still not good enough for him!"
"I know. I’ll keep trying," Sumr Monroe’s clear eyes were like streams ford from lting snow, cold yet captivating.
If it were soone else, they would’ve sought credit by now. However, Sumr Monroe’s gaze remained calm, like a windless lake.
The girl’s expression was calm and sincere, which made Susan Stone a little overwheld and finally feel a bit embarrassed.
Finally, the last silver needle was removed.
Sumr Monroe breathed more heavily.
Acupuncture in Ancient Chinese dicine requires the practitioner to expend a lot of energy and spirit.
Just now, after all the hustle, and now that Susan Stone was fine, Sumr Monroe’s taut nerves relaxed, leaving her sowhat drained.
"Damian Knight," Sumr Monroe instinctively grabbed Damian Knight’s hand and said, "I might need to sleep for a while..."
As soon as she finished speaking, her vision went dark, and she toppled over to the side.
"Sadie!" Damian Knight hurriedly reached to support the back of her head, preventing Sumr Monroe from hitting the ground.
"I’ll take her upstairs to rest for a while," Damian Knight said, picking up Sumr Monroe and heading straight to his room upstairs.
Susan Stone parted her lips, but ultimately couldn’t bring herself to stop him.
"Ah..." she sighed, saying to the butler, "Help up."
The events of today happened so suddenly. So things needed to be clarified with Damian Knight.
