Chapter 68: Chapter 68- Damien is a doctor?

"I hope it didn't hurt, Miss Emilia," a nurse said as she slowly pulled the blood out through a syringe from Emilia's hand before collecting the blood in a small tube while smiling and inquiring.

"No, it's fine," Emilia shook her head, applying pressure with a cotton ball to her hand where the needle had just been inserted. She then turned to face her mother as the nurse approached to take her blood sample as well.

"Sir Damien, do you need anything else?" As the nurse collected the blood samples, the doctor, glancing at Damien, was by a table where he was disinfecting and cleaning the silver needles he had requested. He used alcohol and other cleaning solutions typically found in hospitals.

"No, you both may leave," Damien replied in a calm tone, clearly showing his intention of not having anyone inside the room except Emilia when he applied the treatment.

"W-we understand," the doctor said, interested in observing the medical treatment traditionally called acupuncture, though it wasn't widely popular among practitioners due to a lack of scientific proof, as modernization had advanced enough to fade away such typical old methods.

"Emilia, turn your mother over before removing her clothes," Damien said with a calm voice and a composed demeanor while focusing on arranging the dinner on the tray. He ordered Emilia, who was slightly taken aback.

"Wh-why clothes?" Emilia stood from her place and inquired, somewhat aware of his perverted personality but not to the level where she thought he would take advantage of the situation; she still wanted to know.

"You see, I need to perform acupuncture. Do you want me to puncture her organs by applying it above her clothes?" Damien replied, giving Emilia a look with a raised brow as he revealed his obvious intentions.

"W-wait? Puncture her organs?!" Emilia, hearing the dangerous aspect of the acupuncture technique Damien was proposing, felt taken aback as she approached him while looking into his eyes intentionally, as if doubting that he may harm her mother.

"Come on, just have faith in me," Damien let out a sigh and shook his head, wondering if humanity even existed when he saw Emilia doubting his kindness and whether he really cared.

He genuinely wanted to treat her mother, and here she was doubting him?

"...yes, why not," Emilia just averted her gaze, hiding her expression, which revealed that not even 1% of her trusted this man, who was yesterday known as a worthless person. Today he showed her his perverted side and now claimed to be a doctor.

She couldn't even wrap her head around the idea that he knew what paracetamol was, let alone that he had any medical talent.

"Just do what I say, or...." Damien, seeing that Emilia was not being active, looked at her before slowly moving forward, knowing that this woman needed doses from time to time.

"Or...?" Emilia inquired, her eyes fixed on his face, which slowly reached her ears as his breath was clearly audible to her, and warmth was sensible on her skin.

"Or what? I would just do it myself," Damien, seeing how her breathing slightly increased, instantly retreated and shrugged his shoulder, replying in a nonchalant way.

"Tch, what I expected," Emilia shook her head before gesturing for Damien to turn his eyes to the other side before she started to undress the patient uniform's shirt her mother wore and then laid her on her front with her bare back clearly visible.

"You can start," Emilia fixed her stare and balled her fists, getting ready to throw a punch if this guy dared to pull anything sketchy with her mom. She was laser-focused on his hands, not wanting to give him a single chance.

"Umm, you look cute," Damien noticed how Emilia appeared while looking intently at his hand with her fist clenched, appearing more like a baby bear trying to protect her mother, which he found cute.

"Wh-what?!" Emilia, suddenly hearing his words, covered her face with one hand as she felt her cheeks turn crimson with warmth spreading across them, feeling embarrassed and her heart racing as she really felt this man was again teasing her.

"How easy," Damien grinned as he noticed how embarrassed Emilia became just from a simple compliment. He then turned towards her mother, who lay on the bed, while he had no physical attraction or emotion regarding this woman claiming to be Emilia's mother.

Naturally, the reason why Damien became physical with Emilia was to reassure loyalty and tie down a loyal person to him. And given that nothing can be much stronger than love, he subdued her in the best possible way he could think of.

But this definitely wasn't the case with her mother, considering that even thinking of getting physical with her would ruin all the hard work he had done to make Emilia loyal to him, and additionally, there was no reason to use physical relations when he could just subdue her in other ways.

"I am starting," with those words Damien took out the needles from the tray and, with a precise motion, holding a silver needle, pierced it near the woman's neck where her spinal cord was attached.

Following the same trail down the path of the woman's spinal cord, he started to slowly add a needle every two vertebrae and the third one he inserted.

Naturally, the brain controls all bodily functions by using electrical signals transmitted through neurons, which are present in various receptors throughout the body. The nerves that carry these signals are enclosed within the spinal cord, which provides them with protection.

"She is not moving," Emilia observed as Damien casually poked small silver needles in a straight line along her spinal cord, feeling the visionary pain within herself while also noting how his medical technique did not seem to make her mother move.

"I am not some Divine Doctor who can show some miracle, so keep calm," Damien used one hand to gesture for Emilia to be quiet while he focused on his work, taking the needles as he started to poke them into other areas around the shoulders and the lower region where the kidneys existed.

Damien adjusted the final needle with care, his hands steady as he aligned it precisely over the kidney region.

"Acupuncture," Damien began, his voice calm but deliberate as he kept his eyes fixed on the nerves, "works by stimulating specific points in the body. These points align with nerve clusters and blood vessels. When needles are inserted, they can trigger the body's natural healing processes by affecting neurotransmitters and promoting the release of endorphins."

As he spoke, he inserted a final needle along the adrenal gland near her mother's kidneys. "In this case," he continued, "I'm targeting the adrenal system to stimulate the release of catecholamines—hormones like adrenaline—which can elevate her heart rate, blood pressure, and help kickstart the brain's response systems."

"And where did you learn all this?" Emilia's eyes narrowed as she heard him explaining some medical details, feeling suspicious of this man who was trying to convince her by uttering information that went over her head, prompting her to inquire.

"Huh? Isn't it obvious?" Damien, halting, glanced towards Emilia as a smile started to form on his face, wanting to tease her even more. "I learned all this from UTube."

"!?...D-Damien..." Emilia's eyes trembled the moment she heard him confessing before she lifted one fist with irritation, understanding that this man had fooled her and was pulling a prank on her mother, causing her to strike her fist at his face. "Damiiieeeen! You scamming rascaaaal!!!"
