Chapter 1005 Switch To This Acupuncture Point
At first, Roxanne thought the two of them would not be able to cope with all the work. Somehow, the children were
very cooperative. Hence, she could not tell if it was because of the gifts she had prepared.
Both Roxanne and Jack treated the patients in an orderly fashion. Perhaps it was because the orphanage was in a
city and had better facilities compared to the previous one.
Apart from some congenital disabilities, the children were mostly fine. As the number of children still waiting in line
gradually reduced, Roxanne, too, gradually felt more relaxed.
When the last child in line entered the tent, Roxanne took out a stuffed bunny and gave it to him. Surprised, the boy
looked up and thanked her politely, “Thank you, Ms. Jarvis!” He then carefully took the stuffed bunny from her.
Roxanne could not help but pat him on the head, beaming. Suddenly, she noticed he looked extremely pale, and the

Hearing that, the boy frowned and mulled briefly before answering with hesitance, “My heart feels uncomfortable
sometimes.”
His words brought a frown to Roxanne’s face, and she pressed on, “Can you tell me in detail?”
Again, the boy pondered for some time. “Sometimes, it beats really fast, but it goes back to normal after a while.”
This is a typical symptom of arrhythmia.
Roxanne shot Jack a look before instructing the boy, “Dear, could you lie on this bed? I’d like to examine you a
little.”
Carrying the stuffed bunny, the little boy climbed onto the bed obediently. Then, Roxanne began taking his pulse.
Meanwhile, Jack activated the machine beside them.
Not long after, their suspicion was confirmed. The boy was suffering from a severe case of arrhythmia. However,
he was very lucky that nothing major happened to him.
Thankfully, they had discovered his illness.
Before Jack could say anything, Roxanne had already brought out her acupuncture tools while comforting the boy,
“This might hurt a little. Please bear with it, okay?”
Although the boy did not know what she was going to do, the sight of the long needle frightened him a little.
Nonetheless, the stuffed bunny in his arms gave him a strange sense of courage, and he nodded in response.
Following that, Roxanne patted his head and began inserting the needles.
Acupuncture could help reduce the symptoms of arrhythmia which was something she knew long ago.
Just when she was about to insert the last needle, Jack’s voice rang out behind her.
“This point might be better.”
Roxanne halted in her movements, and she cast a confused glance at the acupuncture point Jack was pointing at.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe smiled. “The Damaris family has done some research on this before. The acupuncture points you’ve chosen are
the most common points used to treat arrhythmia. But based on our research, the treatment’s effects will be better
if the last acupuncture point was switched to this.”
Surprise flashed past Roxanne’s eyes.
After all, the acupuncture points Jack was referring to was rarely used in acupuncture treatments. She could not
guarantee what kind of effect it would bring if she actually inserted the needle there.
Maybe things are as Jack said. It might actually improve the boy’s condition. Then again, his condition might also
worsen.
At the same time, the boy watched them earnestly, though he did not understand their conversation.
However, he trusted them with all their heart and did not question them.
After thinking about it carefully, Roxanne looked up at Jack, whose gaze was brimming with confidence.
Finally, Roxanne decided to follow Jack’s suggestion and insert the last needle into the other point.
