Chapter 235 Practise Dummy
Upon hearing those words, Stefan shuddered, and once again, he cursed Mason vehemently in his
heart
Upon witnessing that scene, the group of people outside was greatly shaken.
They had never seen Stefan kneel before, yet at that critical moment, no one dared to step forward to
help him up. Whoever dared to assist would face reprimand. All they could do was silently pray for
Emrys forgiveness.
After a moment of silence, Emrys said, “Considering your sincere attitude, I can assure you that your
leg will heal.”
“Thank you….” Stefan was overwhelmed with emotion, ready to express his gratitude, when he saw
Emrys wave his hand to interrupt him.
Emrys then said, “Don’t rush to thank me. I merely said that your leg could be healed, but the one who
will treat you isn’t me. It’s Caylie.”
“Caylie?” Stefan was filled with confusion and doubt.
Emrys nodded and said, “That’s right. Caylie’s medical skills are not bad either. She has learned quite
a bit of acupuncture techniques from me. However, she lacks practical experience. Do you understand
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhat I mean?”
That was Emrys‘ thought.
Stefan’s leg injury was a very typical case of nerve damage. If Emrys were to intervene, he could easily
cure it. However, Emrys wouldn’t do that. Instead, he planned to let Caylie treat the leg injury.
In other words, he was prepared to let Stefan be the one for Caylie to practice on. Much like when one
was in the hospital receiving an IV drip, the veteran nurses usually wouldn’t do it themselves. Instead,
they would let the interns practice their needlework.
How could Stefan not understand Emrys‘ intentions? He was being treated like a guinea pig. The
treatment process was bound to be fraught with complications.
Stefan cautiously glanced at Emrys‘ expression, realizing that Emrys was not joking. He was left with
only two options. One was to not seek treatment, and the other was to let himself be used as a practice
subject.
Moreover, Emrys openly conveyed the situation to him, fully demonstrating his firm stance, as though
saying, “I’m giving you these two options, whether to treat it or not. The decision is yours.”
I guess I’ll consider it as an apology for that unfilial wretch! Stefan sighed silently in his heart, knowing
that if it weren’t for Mason’s actions, Emrys wouldn’t have that attitude toward him.
After pondering for a moment, he said, “I am willing!”
Emrys nodded, quickly summoning Caylie. He said, “Caylie, didn’t I just teach you a new set of leg
acupuncture techniques a few days ago? We have a patient here, perfect for you to practice on.”

Chapter 235 Practise Dummy
Caylie hesitated before saying, “I’m not sure this is a good idea. I’m still not proficient in that set of
acupuncture techniques. I think I should practice on a dummy for a while first.”
“It’s all right. This old man actually enjoys being poked by others.”
A sudden twitch seized the muscles at the corner of Stefan’s eyes when he heard that.
Thus, Stefan stayed, dutifully serving as Caylie’s acupuncture model. Meanwhile, Mason and the
others temporarily resided in a nearby hotel, accompanying Stefan each day for his acupuncture
sessions.
Mason had also settled down. He didn’t dare to bother Ninette again.
Of course, under such circumstances, he had no choice but to stay put. Otherwise, when the time

laughable.
One day, Stefan came to Apricot Hall once again, only to run into Richard and Lydia. Upon seeing
Lydia, he was momentarily taken aback and said, “Are you… Lydia?”
His memory was somewhat hazy. It took him a long time to recall the name Lydia.
Lydia heard her name being called by an old man in a wheelchair, a hint of confusion crossing her face.
She looked at Stefan and asked, “Who are you?”
His face was familiar to her, but she couldn’t remember who he was.
After all, she had been away from Juxshire for over twenty years.
Stefan gave a bitter laugh, reminding, “I’m from the Cooper family of Juxshire.”
Speaking of the Cooper family from Juxshire, Lydia suddenly remembered something. Her eyes as she
asked, “Are you Old Mr. Cooper?”
Stefan nodded.
“So it really is you, Old Mr. Cooper. I never imagined that after all these years, we would have the
chance to meet again in this small city in Jazona.”
