"..."
Master Cadmus was truly shocked this ti.
He had seen many doctors before, but no one could clarify why he suffered from migraines accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
Adelle Wafford and others had once recomnded he get his gastrointestinal tract checked, suspecting that he had a problem with it.
Only Nathalie Quinlan said that this was a type of complication associated with migraines.
"Then I..."
"Need acupuncture."
Nathalie Quinlan didn’t beat around the bush. She unzipped her single shoulder bag and took out a small cloth bundle. Unfurling the cloth bundle, there was a row of silver needles for acupuncture. She pulled one out and looked at the tired-looking old man, explaining, "Your condition is not severe, but it has been dragged out for too long. To treat it, we need to start with acupuncture and then combine it with dication. Would you like to try it?"
Brian Bonette saw her take out the long silver needle and said with so concern, "Nathalie, where does this needle need to be inserted?"
"Governing Vessel, Si Shencong, The Sun, and between the eyebrows among other points."
After she finished speaking, she was t with a sea of puzzled looks. She rubbed her forehead with her hand, realizing they didn’t know where these points were, so she simplified her explanation.
"Mainly in a few places on the head and the back of the neck."
The head and the back of the neck were among the most vulnerable parts of the body.
Brian Bonette showed a cautious expression, turning to look at Master Cadmus, and hesitated before saying, "Master Cadmus, you..."
He wanted to say, ’Do you want to reconsider?’
Who knew the elderly man would snap out of it, far more composed than he was, and looked at the girl with a relaxed expression, "Try, why not try."
"What do I need to do?"
Nathalie quite liked his composed and forthright attitude; her black eyes sparkled with a focused light as she said, "Just sit, you don’t have to do anything. Just don’t move around when I’m inserting the needles."
"Alright. Then go ahead, I won’t move."
Phoebe Hoffman’s face was tense, even more so than Master Cadmus. She looked up at the girl with her voice containing a hint of warning, "Nathalie Quinlan, Master Cadmus is a leading figure in the biological field within the country. If you’re not confident, it’s best not to take any careless actions."
Nathalie Quinlan was quite annoyed by her constant nagging, and without wasting words, she turned her head to the man beside her, making a request, "Can you clear out the unrelated people? I need a quiet environnt to perform acupuncture on Master Cadmus."
Seeing that Master Cadmus himself agreed to let Nathalie Quinlan try, Brian Bonette hesitated no longer and ordered Wallace Radcliff, "You and Mr. Hoffman and the others go out first; Mario Cagwin and I will stay here."
Wallace Radcliff had wanted to stay to watch Nathalie Quinlan give Master Cadmus acupuncture, but when Brian Bonette spoke, he dared not disobey and, with a look of regret on his face, he turned and said to Phoebe Hoffman with a cold tone, "Mr. Hoffman, let’s go, we’ll wait outside."
Phoebe Hoffman’s face instantly turned extrely embarrassed.
But Brian Bonette swept a cold glance over her, and she didn’t dare to talk nonsense. Reluctantly, she followed Wallace Radcliff and the others out.

Outside, the door to the rest area outside the lab closed.
From the mont she ca out, Phoebe Hoffman had a long face, leaning against the wall, refusing to sit down.
Wallace Radcliff and the others from The Ninth Institute stayed together.
With no noise from inside for over half an hour, soone lost their patience and said in a low voice, "Mr. Radcliff, do you think Ms. Quinlan can really cure Master Cadmus’s illness with acupuncture?"
"How would I know?" Wallace Radcliff said, hands crossed and looking restless. It was apparent he was quite nervous; he furrowed his brow, not sure what to say, "I saw Ms. Quinlan earlier looking quite confident; she should be able to do it. Amadeus wouldn’t recomnd soone unless Nathalie has so skills!"
