Chapter 71: Chapter 70: Acupuncture, Nicole Kidman
"Darling, you seem a bit off lately."
"Oh."
"Do you have something on your mind? You can talk to me."
"Oh."
Ever since chatting with Zhou Mo Sen, Captain Hank seemed like a different person.
His wife noticed it long ago but had been holding back.
Now, she couldn’t help but say something; she was genuinely worried.
Hank himself seemed to sense his odd behavior and forced a smile.
"Sorry to make you worry, it’s nothing."
"You can really talk to me."
"If I could talk..."
"Talk to me then."
"Alright."
The couple used to share everything, but now, it seemed like Hank was facing unimaginable difficulties.
"Darling, if you encountered a situation that couldn’t be resolved legally, what would you do?"
"Huh? Even the law can’t resolve it?"
"Yes, or rather, it’s legal, but I’m certain it’s an evil act! I’m sure it harms people!"
"This... I don’t know either."
"Right, it’s really difficult."
The wife had an answer in her heart but didn’t dare to say it.
Because her husband is an enforcer of the law!
Hank actually had contemplated methods, but he hesitated.
As a DEA Captain, he was convinced that guy was up to no good, it was a crime.
But the law protected that guy.
So then...
There were only illegal methods left!
His wife looked at her husband, feeling a bit unfamiliar.
He was originally quite fierce, and after getting injured, he became even fiercer.
Now, he was terrifyingly fierce.
...
Night fell.
The busy Monroe Clinic returned to its tranquility.
Zhou Mo Sen, as the owner of the clinic, considered it his home.
There’s nothing wrong with that.
After sending off the last employee, which was the hospital cleaner,
he stayed inside the hospital.
That surely wasn’t an issue either.
When he arrived at the operating room,
he found a stunning beauty already lying on the operating table.
Hmm, that was indeed a bit of a problem.
And this stunning beauty was none other than the globally famous Nicole Kidman.
This was indeed quite an issue.
But upon seeing Zhou Mo Sen,
Nicole Kidman appeared extremely excited.
So, there was no longer an issue.
"Master."
The expectant call, even the toughest man,
would turn soft as clay.
Unfortunately, Zhou Mo Sen remained calm as a still lake.
"Why are you wearing such clothes and lying on the operating table? That’s improper."
This... is correct. When on the operating table, it’s customary to wear...
Nicole Kidman smiled and immediately unbuttoned her clothes.
With a rustling sound, everything was in order.
Zhou Mo Sen saw it, his eyes showed no change.
Indeed, many well-known magazines have listed her as one of the most beautiful people globally.
Her skin was already fair, and at this moment, it even seemed to have a glowing quality.
But Zhou Mo Sen was a doctor, he planned to give this big star a special treatment with Eastern mystical techniques.
"If it hurts, you must endure it."
"Yes, Master."
Sometimes, this English is quite convenient.
Master, perhaps Nicole Kidman was calling him Teacher.
Zhou Mo Sen remained unmoved,
proceeding methodically to take out a cloth bag and unfold it.
It turned out to be filled with ’needles.’
These were not ordinary needles.
They were acupuncture needles.
Upon seeing them, Nicole Kidman was immediately startled.
However, the master had said before,
these needles would be very effective.
Nicole Kidman, this great beauty, was now both scared and expectant.
The conflicted expression in her eyes did not escape Zhou Mo Sen.
Perfect, this was exactly the state he wanted.
Zhou Mo Sen still seemed exceedingly calm, but his actions showed no mercy.
He drew out a long needle and inserted it into her white skin.
This insertion... huh? Nicole Kidman was stunned at that moment.
It didn’t hurt?
Obviously pricked by a needle, yet it didn’t hurt.
This was too miraculous!
In fact, Zhou Mo Sen didn’t really know acupuncture.
He was a General Surgery doctor, and truly didn’t possess this skill.
But, he had a workaround.
Using very fine needles would suffice.
The finest acupuncture needles could be as small as 0.25 millimeters.
Insulin injection needles, those of 32G specification, were 0.23 millimeters.
Not much difference really.
The pain from an insulin needle was already quite minimal.
Zhou Mo Sen was just going through the motions, not inserting it deeply at all.
At most, it would give this great beauty a slight sensation of pain.
Moreover, he had mentioned before, remember?
Endure it.
Initially, Nicole Kidman thought it would hurt a lot, but who knew, the reality was so much different.
This... it even felt somewhat comfortable.
Thus, the great beauty wasn’t satisfied yet.
"More, give me more..."
Alright, then fulfill your wish.
Zhou Mo Sen had just started on her abdomen, now...
☟︵.
With a few more swishes, he pricked a few more.
Nicole Kidman was immediately sweating on her forehead.
At first, she was very nervous, very scared.
After all, it was that area.
But unexpectedly, it still didn’t hurt.
It even felt somewhat comfortable.
In her heart, she admired the master even more, prostrating in reverence.
This was simply a divine art!
However, Zhou Mo Sen noticed that the pricking seemed reminiscent of "Flowers and Snakes."
Fortunately, that movie wouldn’t come out for over a year.
He too was sweating from his forehead.
After all, Xiaozhou had watched in anger.
Yet Zhou Mo Sen’s face remained unchanged, calm as a still lake.
He now had much more experience than before, handling Nicole Kidman, who wanted desperately to rejuvenate,
more effortlessly.
"Your foundation is too weak; I have to expend more effort. Your two senior sisters don’t receive such treatment."
"Thank you, master."
Nicole Kidman’s heart was ablaze, and her answer was in a voice completely different from her usual self.
Involuntarily, she licked her lips lightly with her tongue.
It was overwhelmingly seductive.
But Zhou Mo Sen needed to focus on the treatment now.
"Next, you need to pay attention to the water issue."
"Water?"
"Yes, you absolutely must not drink tap water. If you have a high-end filtration system installed, then upgrade it. If not, get one."
"Why is this?"
"Do you not trust your master?"
"No, no, I’ll upgrade the filtration system when I return. As for the meantime..."
"Buy bottled water, or buy imported ones from China."
"Yes..."
In truth, this water issue was the key to Zhou Mo Sen’s ’treatment’ for this big star.
Some public experts used to crazily praise the tap water in Europe and America.
Claiming it could be drunk directly.
But in fact, most of the tap water in the United States was supplied through lead pipes.
It was to save money back in the day.
The problem of lead pipes persisted for a long time, with many citizens protesting continuously.
Yet, the pipes were never replaced.
Whenever questioned, the excuse was there was no money.
Then came a plan involving injecting something into it, to create a protective coating or whatnot.
However, that protective coat was hardly effective and actually introduced another pollutant.
The disaster caused by lead pipes had too many examples in the US.
Chicago was severely affected; its tap water once exceeded lead levels by 40,000 times.
Children who drank it became impaired.
In the physical sense of being impaired.
California was comparatively better, but with America’s aging infrastructure,
the problem was deeply rooted, avoiding tap water was the best bet.
Many people understood and opted for bottled water.
But the quality of bottled water varied greatly.
Zhou Mo Sen advising Nicole Kidman to switch to safer water could further her rejuvenation.
She wanted to restore youth after all.
Wait, seemed like there was some water on the operating table...
At this moment, the big star’s gaze was already misty with longing.
"Master~ I also heard about the mystical Eastern art of Yin Yang Balance..."
"Your foundation is too weak, do not dream of such things!"
Zhou Mo Sen quickly withdrew the needles.
Nicole Kidman seemed to have awoken from a wonderful dream.
Dr. Zhou was never in a hurry.
Reeling them in was always the priority.
Yet at this moment, his phone rang.
