Mirabe''s eyes sparkled as she looked at James, shing him a reassuring smile. "Don''t worry, I''ve got it under control."


    James, trusting her instincts, decided to leave it at that.


    Soon enough, Mirabe made her way into the bedroom.


    David''s butler, having helped David out of his shirt, was asked by Mirabe to step out. Though he was concerned for David, he knew there were important guests in the living room waiting for their coffee, so he obliged.

    Now it was just Mirabe and David in the room. Acupuncture is a meticulous process that demands total focus, so neither of them spoke.


    Mirabe used a technique on David simr to the one she''d used on Mr. Owen before. Completely getting rid of the toxins wasn''t possible since they had be part of his system.


    Instead of trying to remove them, she aimed to transform them so they could coexist harmlessly with his body. If she could strike a bnce, living with the toxins would be doable.


    This method was untested by her, but she was willing to give it a shot.


    After half an hour, she had inserted all the golden needles into various points on David''s body, then checked his pulse.


    Even though his pulse was still a bit jumpy, it was better than before the acupuncture, suggesting the method was working.


    Mirabe breathed a sigh of relief and continued guiding the needles, moving them through his energy pathways. After another half hour, she gently removed the needles.


    Knowing the procedure was painful, she worried David might not handle it well, so she used a silver needle on his sleep point to help him rx.


    Just a minute after she took out the needle from his sleep point, David stirred awake, opening his eyes.


    He felt a slight tingling, but mostly


    he felt


    lief. Turning to t


    "Is it done? I already


    much better." Content be Teel so

    While cleaning the golden needles, Mirabe replied, "As long as you


    steer clear of any strong


    of any strong meds, you


    should be okay for now."


    It was her first time trying this method, so she wasn''t entirely confident in the


    oue and didn''t want to make any promises.


    David nodded, "Got it."


    Mirabe nodded back and ced the sanitized needles into the metal box.


    The box, with its ancient designs,


    caught David''s eye. Noticing the


    familiar patterns, his eyes widened. Despite feeling weak, he managed to


    sit


    Lap,


    excitement in his voice, "Can I see your needle box?"


    Mirabe turned to him, seeing his eager gaze on the box. Without a second thought, she handed it over.


    The needles needed a special box to stay intact, which is why she brought the whole thing instead of just the needles.


    As David studied the petal designs on the box, he looked at Mirabe, his voice a mix of shock and curiosity, "Is this...?"


    Mirabe smiled, nodding before he could finish, "Yes."


    David''s eyes widened further, words failing him.


    No wonder her acupuncture technique felt so unique, unlike any typical alternative medicine practitioner.


    Seeing the designs, his curiosity and questions finally had answers.


    If Mirabe was from that family, her extraordinary skills made perfect sense.


    David began to speak, "Mirabe, you..."
