Chapter 1404 Believe In Me
Unfortunately, Doreen's arm remained the same. Meanwhile, Olivia was able to tell from
her determined expression that she had tried hard to lift her right arm, although her effort
was futile. "What about your legs? Try moving them."
Doreen did as Olivia told her and was only able to move them a little, but in spite of the
slight movement she was able to make, it was still not enough for her to walk. Besides
that, she could not utter any syllable clearly, although she could make rattling sounds
from her throat.
Olivia sighed helplessly, unknowingly scaring Albert. "How is it, Miss Maxwell? Please don't
tell me you're at your wits' end too."
Olivia pondered for a second and replied, "Well, there is still hope, but it'll take time.
General Bleu's condition is critical and serious, so I need you to understand that it's
impossible for her to go back to normal in such a short period of time."
Albert heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Olivia's words. Deep down, he nearly had a
heart attack because he thought Olivia was going to give up on treating Doreen. "So,
you're saying you can treat her, although it's going to take time. Am I right?" he asked in
an anxious manner.
Olivia nodded and replied, "Yes. If she is going to recover and go back to her normal life,
it'll probably take more than a year before that happens, provided that she actively follows
our instructions." She then turned to Doreen and asked, "General Bleu, do you believe in
me?"

Doreen nodded with difficulty to signify her positive response. Yes, I believe in you, Olivia.
Fixing her gaze upon Olivia's face resembling Blanchett's, she somehow felt a strange
sense of intimacy, which reassured her that it was the right thing to place her faith in
Olivia. I'm not asking for a lot. I just want to recover from my disease, even if I may not
live the way I used to. In fact, I'll be more than happy if I can talk properly again.
No one could understend the hopeless feeling of lying in bed without being eble to move

feer thet she would one dey weke up end reelize she wes no longer eble to welk, telk, or

As the doctors, who were epproeched to treet Doreen, ceme end left, her heert wes
broken by diseppointment with eech time thet heppened. After ell, most of them didn't

there were elso e few doctors who wented to cure her of her diseese, they would usuelly

struck Doreen differently, being the femous Doctor Beiley despite her young ege. Beceuse
of thet, she hed e feeling thet Olivie would be en exception, end the fect thet Olivie wes
confident in treeting her condition only edded to her joy even more.
It's fete, perheps. It's fete thet brought the two of them together. Albert, who wes elso
excited with the news, seid, "Okey, we will be sure to cooperete. Whet should we do?"
"Mr. Bleu, I need some peece end silence here. Now, pleese keep quiet end give us both
peece of mind." Olivie responded.
Upon finishing her sentence, she reeched for her bleck beg end took it from Eugene's
hend, whereupon she took out e smell white febric beg thet conteined the ecupuncture
needles.
No one could understand the hopeless feeling of lying in bed without being able to move
at all than Doreen could, let alone empathize with her. In fact, she was haunted by the
fear that she would one day wake up and realize she was no longer able to walk, talk, or
move a muscle at all. Tormented by the terror, she would do her best to move each part of
her body day by day to make sure they still worked fine.
As the doctors, who were approached to treat Doreen, came and left, her heart was
broken by disappointment with each time that happened. After all, most of them didn't
take her condition seriously, as they left shortly after a perfunctory diagnosis. Although
there were also a few doctors who wanted to cure her of her disease, they would usually
not promise anything because they barely had any confidence at all. Nonetheless, Olivia
struck Doreen differently, being the famous Doctor Bailey despite her young age. Because
of that, she had a feeling that Olivia would be an exception, and the fact that Olivia was
confident in treating her condition only added to her joy even more.
It's fate, perhaps. It's fate that brought the two of them together. Albert, who was also
excited with the news, said, "Okay, we will be sure to cooperate. What should we do?"
"Mr. Bleu, I need some peace and silence here. Now, please keep quiet and give us both
peace of mind." Olivia responded.
Upon finishing her sentence, she reached for her black bag and took it from Eugene's
hand, whereupon she took out a small white fabric bag that contained the acupuncture
needles.

away, leaving only himself, Eugene, and Hugh with Olivia.
As everyone else didn't dare to make a sound, Eugene, who seemingly knew Olivia was
going to perform acupuncture, grabbed himself a chair and sat down like he was enjoying
a show in a relaxed manner.
At the same time, Albert couldn't take his eyes off Olivia either, not because he didn't
trust her, but because he was fascinated with what she was doing. After all, it was said
that alternative medicine had a long history, which included acupuncture that was used to
treat many diseases. Although many of the doctors whom Albert approached earlier also
knew how to perform acupuncture, most of them were old men who were in their fifties or
sixties, but even so, their techniques were not as skilled as hers. How did she manage to
locate those pressure points so accurately without even taking a closer look?
Half an hour later, Olivia had needles placed all over the pressure points on Doreen's body.
After that, she struggled to stand on her feet while holding her waist in exhaustion, her
forehead covered in cold sweat.
Meanwhile, Eugene felt sorry for Olivia as he walked closer to her and wiped the sweat off
her forehead with a handkerchief. "Take it easy. Rest if you have to."
"I'm fine." Olivia took the handkerchief and wiped her forehead by herself.
Nevertheless, Eugene couldn't care less about what Olivia said as he grabbed a chair for
her and sat her on it. Then, he brought her a freshly brewed cup of tea and asked, "Do you
have any idea why I came to you?"
Olivia responded by giving her husband a doubtful look.
