Jiang Chen wanted to knock Su Zhi'en on her head. He glared at the crazy Su Zhi'en. In the end, he closed his eyes, and his tense body slowly began to relax.
Su Zhi'en noticed this and proceeded to pick up a needle, and she then began to pierce the acupuncture points on Jiang Chen's head carefully.
As for Jiang Chen's illness, when Su Zhi'en saw his medical record in Country R's hospital, she already knew how to treat it. She even held a seminar at that time. Insomnia was known as a sleeping disorder in the western medical world.
Their treatment methods were nothing more than valium and psychological counseling. However, these treatment methods had significant drawbacks. The patients would begin to develop independence to valium. Once a patient became dependent and stopped taking valium, falling asleep would be even more challenging, especially if the patient wasn't in a good mental state.
When Su Zhi'en took a look at Jiang Chen's medical records, the first thing she thought of was to use her needles to seal the acupoints that had been the cause of his trauma. This method would not have any significant side effects.
Only then would Su Zhi'en prescribe some medicinal herbs to Jiang Chen. The medicinal herbs would slowly enter his body, replenish his Qi, and improve blood flow. By then, the medicinal herbs would naturally cure him of his insomnia.
"Ngh…"
After just one needle, Su Zhi'en heard the arrogant Jiang Chen snort in pain. Seeing this, Su Zhi'en immediately looked at him and asked, "What's wrong? Did you feel pain in your ear? Did your vision blur for a moment?"
Su Zhi'en would abandon any personal thoughts when she was treating a patient. She was a doctor with a conscience that has sworn an oath. So, Jiang Chen didn't need to worry about Su Zhi'en killing him on the spot. Even if she did end up killing him, it wasn't the right time.
Jiang Chen's half-clenched fingers twitched.
When Su Zhi'en saw that Jiang Chen didn't answer, she proceeded to pick up a second needle. "Relax, those are regular occurrences. You will feel better after this needle goes in, and your nerves will temporarily slow down."
Jiang Chen, lying on the sofa, felt another needle-like pain on his forehead. Immediately, his head, which had been in constant pain for a long time, felt as though it had finally been suppressed. A sense of exhaustion overcame him as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.
'It seems that his crazy woman is quite capable.' As Jiang Chen was losing consciousness, this thought appeared in his mind. After that, he fell into a deep sleep with a strong sense of fatigue. It has been a long time since he could get any proper sleep. 'I can finally fall asleep peacefully.'
Su Zhi'en was relieved when she saw that Jiang Chen had fallen asleep. At least no one was foulmouthed during this process. This acupoint was challenging to locate. Jiang Chen was too sick, which caused several acupoints to be blocked. Fortunately, Su Zhi'en was able to identify the correct acupoints in the end.
Su Zhi'en withdrew the needles and planned to take a break. As soon as she pulled the needle out, the arrogant Jiang Chen, who had finally fallen asleep, tilted his head. When Su Zhi'en saw this, she subconsciously reached her hand out to hold his head. Jiang Chen's head then slipped into her palm.
Su Zhi'en was shocked.
The unfamiliar warmth in her palm shocked her. She immediately pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted, pushing Jiang Chen away. She was so scared that her face turned pale.
'This is ridiculous.' Su Zhi'en and Jiang Chen were no longer involved with each other, and she had told herself countless times that Jiang Chen was just an irrelevant stranger to her. If she had the chance, she would have liked to rip his head off.
While Jiang Chen was asleep, his usual aggressiveness and coldness were gone. His soft, fair skin and distinct facial features were a rare sight to see. For a moment, Su Zhi'en felt as though she had returned to her childhood, back to when she first saw Jiang Chen.
"Is he really asleep?" Su Zhi'en was shocked and immediately came back to her senses. Jiang Wei had come downstairs and was staring at his father.
"Yes, he's asleep. Jiang Wei, why did you come downstairs? Aren't you supposed to be asleep?" Su Zhi'en immediately gathered her thoughts and put away the medical bag beside her.
Jiang Wei ignored her and went straight to his father's side. He was genuinely concerned about his father. It was just that Jiang Wei was not good at expressing himself. It was apparent that he didn't have much experience interacting with people.
Other than talking to his father, Jiang Wei didn't care to speak with the servants, or rather, he just didn't care about anyone else at all. He usually did not respond to anyone else that approached him.
"You don't have to worry, Jiang Wei. Aunt Zhi'en will definitely cure your father."
"Really?" Jiang Wei raised his head and looked at Su Zhi'en.
"Of course, I will. Aunt Zhi'en will never lie to you. You should know that I'm a famous doctor. Every patient that I've ever treated has fully recovered." Su Zhi'en purposely told Jiang Wei about all the patients she had successfully cured over the past five years to reassure him. She just wanted him to know that he had nothing to worry about.
Seeing that the frown on Jiang Wei's face gradually disappeared, the corners of Su Zhi'en's lips began to curl up.
