with Mr. Fairchild’s sleep.”“I see. Can ordinary people use it? I might want to bring some home to put it in the bedroom at night.”“If you want to put it in your bedroom, I’ll make another kind for you. This kind isn’t suitable for long hours.”“Thank you, Master.”Winnie then asked Xavier to lie down on the bed while Sebastian went to get his acupuncture kit.By the time Xavier lay down, Sebastian had opened his acupuncture kit.Yolanda fixed her gaze on Sebastian when the elderly man was taking out the needles.When she realized that her grandfather had sensed nothing wrong, she let out an inward sigh of relief.However, just as Sebastian was about to insert the first needle, Xavier abruptly stopped him.“Wait!”Sebastian stopped in his tracks, and Winnie gave Xavier a confused look as well.Yolanda, on the other hand, snapped her brows together.There’s no way this outsider in the field of acupuncture actually noticed something wrong when Grandpa himself didn’t, right?Sebastian’s hand was hovering mid-air as he asked Xavier, “What’s the matter?”Xavier furrowed his brows. “There’s something under my head.”With that said, he began moving to sit upright.Winnie stopped him. “Don’t move. I’ll do it.”She then tilted Xavier’s head to the side and found a small pack of beads under the bedsheet.It was tiny.Winnie could not help but diss him, “Are you the princess in The Princess and The Pea? How are you so sensitive?”Sebastian chuckled. “It’s better to have found that earlier than later. It’ll be bad if it affects the accuracy of the acupuncture later.”Although Yolanda made no sound the entire time, she let out a sigh of relief after that.“Nini,” Sebastian began as he inserted the needles. “You’ll watch me first. The last three insertions won’t be that dangerous, so I’ll let you try them. I’ll also get to see how you are in practice.”“Okay, Master.” After replying to Sebastian, Winnie lowered her head to look at Xavier. “You have to trust me. I won’t poke at random spots on your body.”For once, he did not say anything that sounded like it came straight from a romance novel.Instead, a gentle look crept into his eyes as he gazed at Winnie. “Dumbo, don’t feel pressured.”“Aren’t you scared? What if I insert the needles in the wrong spots and fry your brain?”“I’m not scared.” Xavier’s tone was as determined as the look in his eyes. “My life is yours.”Winnie parted her lips. There were so many things she wanted to say, but there were too many people around her, and those words refused to leave her mouth. The truth was, he had long placed his life in her hands—when he had shielded her during the accident, and when he had shielded her from Yulissa’s toxin shots.She knew that he was not only just all talk; he was genuinely entrusting his life to her.That was why Winnie cherished his life even more.Hence, she would never let herself fail him later.With those thoughts in mind, a smile appeared on her face.“Close your eyes and
