“Yes.” After Luke sat up, he stood up.

Jason wanted to step forward to help him but Luke glared at him. “I’m not disabled yet.”

Jason immediately let go and stood there. He knew that Luke was in so much pain that even his brows were tightly knitted together, but after Luca arrived at the office, the expression on his face returned to normal.

Jason stroked his chin and wondered. ‘Would he rather suffer in silence to save his dignity?’

Luke stood up and walked to the lounge.

Luca brought the dry needling tools and followed behind him.

Jason was going to follow along but received a call from Tina. He had no choice but to say, “Boss, I’ll answer the call first.”

“No need to follow me in,” Luke said as he walked into the lounge.

Luca followed him in.

Jason watched as the two of them walked into the lounge. He could not help but wonder. ‘Doesn’t he suspect that Luca is from the Island of Despair? Isn’t he worried that she’ll hurt him if I’m not around?’

He thought about it for a while and shook his head. Luca was not a fool. It was not the best choice to make a move on Luke in the office. Thinking of this, he felt relieved and walked out of the office.

Luca walked into the lounge and closed the door. The moment she turned around, she met Luke’s gaze.Belongs to - All rights reserved.

She glanced at the door behind her and explained, “You have to take off your clothes for the treatment. You may be seen by others if anyone opens the door…”

Luke nodded, took off his jacket, and asked, “Should I take it all off?”

Luca shook her head quickly and said, “No need for that. Only your chest needs to be bare.”

After she said that, her face felt a little warm. It was something normal but she could not help but feel shy. Dry needling required the patient to undress. It was a normal procedure…

However, her patient was Luke. Luca instantly felt that there could be an alternate meaning to what she said…

When she was struggling about how to feel, Luke’s hands quickly undid the buttons of his shirt. Every time he unbuttoned one, his firm muscles were unveiled.

Luca seemed to be dumbfounded. Her eyes moved with his movements until he unbuttoned the last button. His entire chest, as well as his abdominal muscles, were completely exposed.

She swallowed the flood of saliva.

Luke’s figure was as good as ever. Even though he was busy with work and did not have much time to work out, he was still not out of shape. Three years had passed but his chest and abdominal muscles were still apparent.

Many men would get out of shape due to work stress and various family factors, but the person in front of her…

Luca was sure that Luke was favored by God. From the moment she fell for him, she thought that God had put extra work into him, making him the perfect man that he was.

Luke saw her standing one meter away from him with a dumbfounded expression. He raised the corner of his mouth and asked, “Dr. Craw, you’re standing so far away. How are you planning to do the dry needling?”

Luca came back to her senses. She regretted agreeing to do dry needling for him to relieve his pain. Worst-case scenario, he could just go to the hospital and the doctors would have many ways to help him alleviate the pain.

However, it was too late for her to leave. She could only bite the bullet. “Mr. Crawford, please lie down.”

Luke lay flat.

Even when he was lying down, she still felt tempted. Luca felt absurd thinking of the days and nights that they had spent together.

It has been so long but she still remembered everything…

Luca adjusted her emotions before opening a pack of needles and cotton swabs. She kept telling herself that those things were in the past. She was treating Luke now, so there was no romance involved.

It was something normal and she could not afford to overthink, lest Luke noticed that something was wrong with her…

When she thought about that, she looked into Luke’s eyes and said with a serious expression, “Mr. Crawford, I’m about to start.”

“Okay,” Luke looked at the suspicious blush on her face and did not say anything.

He knew that he had a good physique and many women could not get enough of it.

However, he hated it when these women looked at him and would not allow them any chance to misunderstand. Luca, just like those women, blushed when she saw his body.

The difference was that Luke did not feel disgusted but instead was happy to let her watch if she wanted to.

There was a tingling pain in his lower abdomen. When he reacted, Luca had already started the treatment.

Luke looked at her. Her face was still blushing red but she was sharp with her movements. He only felt the slight sting of the needle and then there was no pain anymore.

Luca quickly put in the remaining needles then breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up and said, “Mr. Crawford, you’ll feel more comfortable after half an hour.”

“Mm,” Luke lay flat, motionless. When she was doing the treatment, her hand touched his muscles but he did not feel offended at all.

Luca’s actions did not cross any boundaries and it was clear that her intentions were just to help him with the dry needling treatment.

He knew that she was skilled in dry needling but did not expect to be her patient one day.

“If you feel uncomfortable, do tell me,” Luca mentioned.

Luke looked at her and replied, “Did you do it at the wrong spot? Why would I be uncomfortable?”

From the first insertion to the last, he did not feel any intense pain.

“No, but everyone is different and their response to acupoint stimulation varies,” Luca said. Her treatment was meant to help him relieve his pain, not as a long-term treatment.

Luke’s gastric issues were not new problems and not as easy to cure. He, like Tommy, must go through long-term physical conditioning to get better.

Luca knew how he first got gastric.

Many would think that he had gastric because he was busy with work and often forgot to eat. However, it was because he was abandoned in an orphanage by Allison Tanner when he was a child. He had to fight toe and nail to fill his stomach.

Luke was young then. He would lose the fight for food and frequently go hungry. After that went on for a while, his stomach became weak.

Luca was upset when she thought about it. Who would have thought from looking at Luke, who was on the top of the food chain now, that he had such an unbearable and embarrassing past?

Luca glanced at the sofa in the lounge and sat on it.

She intended to stay with Luke for half an hour in case he reacted badly and she was not around.

After the dry needling session, Luke turned his head to look at the woman sitting on the sofa. His calm expression hid the unrest in his eyes.
