of sweat.

Nikolai, finally coming to his senses from his initial shock, glanced at Mirabella and asked, “Is... is that it?” Mirabella reached for a tissue from the bedside table and gently dabbed the sweat from her brow, saying slowly.

“Not yet. Right now, the silver needles have just been placed. I'll need to probe abd assess the situation before | remove them.” At this, Nikolai looked utterly dumbfounded, his face a mixture of incredulity and confusion. He knew about acupuncture, but probing was foreign to him. He wanted to ask but felt too embarrassed. He couldn’t help but feel that his own proudly mastered medical skills were elementary compared to the young lady’s techniques. The way Mirabella discerned and understood the body's points seemed more intuitive than his decades of studying alternative medicine. It was a bit hard to swallow.

Mirabella pulled a chair over to sit by the bed and then took James’ pulse again, her delicate eyebrows smoothing out. “How are you feeling now?” Only Mirabella and Nikolai remained in the room; Wyatt and Curtis had stepped out while she was working with the needles.

James tried to muster a smile but couldn’t. He quietly watched Mirabella, his eyes intense and still. After a moment, he parted his lips and, with a strong voice, said, “Very well.” Mirabella nodded, her expression calm as she remarked, “Your voice suggests as much.” James gave a non-committal grunt.

Checking the time, Mirabella turned to Nikolai. “You can go and rest, Nikolai. I've got this covered.” Despite his eagerness to learn about probing, Nikolai heard her suggestion and knew that sticking around wouldn't be helpful. Reluctantly, he left the room.

Outside, Wyatt and Curtis immediately queried Nikolai upon his exit, “How is it going?” Nikolai stroked his long beard, his face no longer bearing its earlier tension, and said. coolly, “With Mirabella in there, what's there to worry about?” Hearing this, Wyatt and Curtis felt their anxiety lessen.

“Mirabella’s medical skills might even surpass mine. It might be best for her to manage James’ treatments from now on. There's hope for curing old ailments,” Nikolai added with a sense of wonder.

11:21 The times are indeed changing,” he thought.

Wyatt and Curtis exchanged a look of visible shock. They knew Mirabella was a top-notch alchemist, but they hadn’t imagined her medical prowess could make Nikolai feel inferior. This was... alarming.

She was only eighteen-what a terrifying thought! Nikolai waved to them and then headed toward the staircase. He paused after a few steps, turning back to add, “Oh, and you might want to prepare senergy-boosting chicken soup for Mirabella. She'll probably be quite drained after tonight's session.” Curtis nodded and offered, “Letwalk you out, Nikolai.” “I'll arrange for something to be made for Ms. Mirabella,” Wyatt volunteered, taking on the task.

Soon, Nikolai left the villa.

Back in the bedroom, Mirabella continued with her treatment after a short rest.

The probing method using silver needles was complex. It was a proud and secret technique of the Massofamily, so unique that it could bring someone back from the brink of death.
