"Miss Monroe, is what you said true?" Dottie’s Mom still couldn’t believe it, she grabbed Sumr Monroe’s wrist anxiously and asked, "I won’t die?"
"Of course. You won’t die, and I won’t allow you to die."
Dottie’s Mom covered her face and started crying.
Next to her, Dottie’s Dad was slightly more composed, and hesitantly asked, "Then Miss Monroe, may I ask how you charge?"
"Charge?" Sumr Monroe laughed and said, "I said, Dottie helped , so I’m helping Dottie. Treating your wife is sothing I should do for Dottie, I won’t charge. But if you really feel uncomfortable, you can let Dottie repay when she grows up and earns money."
The couple quickly chose the latter option after hearing this.
Dottie straightened her chest and said, "Sadie, when I grow up, I will definitely repay you!"
"Dottie is really good." Sumr Monroe rubbed Dottie’s bald head and said, "Then let’s start the first treatnt now."
"Good, good." The couple nodded repeatedly.
Sumr Monroe told Damian Knight how to brew Chinese dicine, then helped Dottie’s Mom to the bedroom.
She took out the Silver Needle Bag she carried with her, spread the silver needles one by one, and started administering acupuncture to Dottie’s Mom.
Damian Knight saw the situation and felt sowhat worried, but in the end, he said nothing, and went to Dottie’s family’s kitchen to make saline sugar water for Sumr Monroe.
Every ti she administered acupuncture, Sumr Monroe’s body suffered varying degrees of exhaustion, requiring several days of rest, so Damian Knight had to prepare things in advance to prevent her from fainting again.
While Damian Knight was in the kitchen brewing Chinese dicine and making saline sugar water, Sumr Monroe was in the bedroom administering acupuncture to Dottie’s Mom.
Dottie’s Dad watched each silver needle being so long and thick, feeling both anxious and jumpy.
But seeing Sumr Monroe’s calm and composed expression, he couldn’t help but relax as well.
About ten minutes later, Sumr Monroe pushed all the silver needles into their respective acupoints, feeling sowhat weak, when a bowl of saline sugar water was handed to her.
Sumr Monroe looked up along the hand holding the bowl, eting Damian Knight’s bottomless yet tender black eyes.
She smiled, took the saline sugar water, and drank it all in one go.
The saline sugar water could effectively replenish water and strength. Sumr Monroe sat down and rested for a while, feeling much more spirited.
Dottie’s Mom had already fallen asleep, and Dottie’s Dad looked at Sumr Monroe with so apology and said, "Miss Monroe, I really have no way to repay you."
"It’s okay, I’ll be fine soon."
Dottie’s Dad nodded, he thought for a mont, and instructed Dottie, "Dottie, go and kill the old hen we have at ho and make soup to nourish Miss Monroe."
"No need..." Sumr Monroe quickly declined, having heard from Rubin that Dottie’s family only had one old hen, which was used for laying eggs, and eggs were the only ’at dish’ they could eat every day."
"Miss Monroe." Dottie’s Dad bowed to Sumr Monroe and said, "I can’t do anything for you, this is the only thing we can do for you, so please don’t refuse."
Dottie’s Dad insisted, and Sumr Monroe couldn’t refuse his hospitality, so she had to agree.
As Dottie went to make the chicken soup, Dottie’s Dad couldn’t help but ask, "Miss Monroe, may I ask why my wife suddenly got lung cancer when she was perfectly fine before? Her health was great until last year."
"It’s all because of Henry Stanton." Sumr Monroe’s eyes turned cold.
Dottie’s Dad was surprised and, with anger towards Henry Stanton, asked, "Are you saying that Henry Stanton poisoned my wife?!"
"I didn’t an that." Sumr Monroe quickly waved her hand.
