Chapter 166: Although General Bennett Didn't Believe in Miraculous Resurrections

"Elena, your acupuncture skills are truly impressive. Tell me, can you relieve rheumatism and joint pain with just one needle?" Although General Bennett didn't believe in miraculous resurrections, he had to admit this girl's abilities were extraordinary.

Modern medicine often struggled with difficult cases, yet Traditional Medicine could work wonders. Last year, an elderly practitioner in their hospital had saved a terminal liver cancer patient with just a few herbal decoctions.

Elena licked her lollipop. "For pain relief? One needle is enough." She calculated silently—if she wanted to work at the hospital, she needed to prove her worth.

General Bennett winced as his wound throbbed from his sudden movement.

Seeing this, Elena pulled out a silver needle from her pocket—a gift from her brother-in-law, Henry Cooper. Who knew it would come in handy now?

"Here, let me treat you." Before General Bennett could react, the needle was already precisely inserted into the acupuncture point.

A warm current flowed through the needle, instantly easing most of the pain. General Bennett sighed in relief, his eyes fluttering shut.

Elena shot her brother, Daniel Ward, a meaningful glance. Understanding immediately, he dug out another lollipop from his pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth.

The nearby doctors and nurses exchanged disapproving looks. What kind of physician munched on candy while performing acupuncture? She looked more like a gluttonous child than a medical professional.

When General Bennett opened his eyes and saw Elena happily sucking on her lollipop, he chuckled. "Kid, too much sugar is bad for your teeth."

"Sir, I have one condition," Elena suddenly turned serious. "Our family's acupuncture technique requires a unique energy practice, so..."

She paused deliberately, watching General Bennett's expression shift before continuing, "I need a dedicated treatment room—with heating, hot water, and a steady supply of chocolates and lollipops. Also, my meals must include beef, lamb, and eggs."

A nurse nearby couldn't hold back a snort of laughter.

General Bennett frowned. "That's it?"

"Don't laugh just yet." Elena extended her hand. "Shake my hand, and you'll understand."

Skeptical but curious, General Bennett grasped her small hand—and his face froze.
