Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2024-Austin took a deep breath to muster his courage and continue
needling Dominic. The former hoped to eliminate the virus in Dominic’s body and allow him to recover.
Austin did not want his granduncle to suffer anymore.
Only three needles remained, and Austin hesitated because the last three needles were the most
painful yet critical to the treatment.
“Uncle Dom…” Austin squatted, picked up a towel from the side, and wiped the sweat off the older
man’s forehead. Austin looked at the sweat on Dominic’s body mixed with the water in the tub and
could not tell which was which.
The older man’s arms rested on the tub’s sides, his fingers tightly clenched. The veins on his arms
bulged, showing he was enduring great torment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Uncle Dom?” There was no response, so Austin nervously called out again.
“Keep going!” Dominic spoke through gritted teeth, his voice sounding hoarse. Still, he persisted.
Austin’s eyes welled as he controlled his emotions and said, “Uncle Dom, the next three needles will be
more painful. You must hold on!”
“Heh heh…” Dominic smiled faintly and seemed to want to say something, but his lips moved without
uttering words.
His physical strength had reached its limit. As a seasoned physician, Dominic knew how painful each
acupoint was and what consequences would follow when Austin inserted the next needle.
However, they had already come this far and could not stop now. They had to continue.
“Let’s do it!” Dominic took a deep breath and said those two words. His expression remained calm and
composed as he closed his eyes. He persisted, even though he never stopped sweating, and his arms
and neck were veiny.
Austin knew he could not stop now, even if he were reluctant.
Austin recalled the scene Alexander had witnessed a few days ago as he watched the occasional
protrusions on Dominic’s arms.
‘The symbiotes’ movement resembled worms, which explains why we initially thought it was a case of
symbiote poisoning. Even if symbiote poisoning is real, it’ll only target its host and not be contagious.
‘If it’s that easily transmitted, symbiote witchcraft practitioners would have long controlled the world.
Therefore, it’s not a symbiote but a virus with similar traits. We’ve been misled. Even Uncle Dom
believed it was a symbiote, which led us on a detour.
‘Hopefully, there’s still time to set things right!’
Austin turned, took a deep breath, and picked up the silver needle to continue the procedure.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDominic’s spine visibly straightened, and his body trembled as the needle went in. He clenched his
teeth, trying not to make too much noise. Still, groans of pain escaped his mouth.
“Uncle Dom!” Austin nervously called out while checking the older man’s condition. After a moment’s
thought, he no longer hesitated. He picked up the last two needles and quickly inserted them into the
remaining acupoints.
‘Better to endure short-term pain than prolonged suffering! These last three needles are the most
painful, so it’s best to do it all at once and end the procedure instead of prolonging it.’
When Austin inserted the last two needles, Dominic could no longer suppress his pain and shouted,
“Ah! That hurt. It f*cking hurts!”
“Uncle Dom! It’ll be over soon!” Austin held Dominic’s shoulders with both hands, preventing him from
accidentally shaking off the silver needles due to uncontrollable tremors.
They had reached the final step and would succeed if Dominic persisted.
