lan had shown up in the nick of time! No one expected the boy to show up right before the fightmorphed into a full-blown brawl. Sasha's rage dissipated as soon as she saw her beloved son. “lan?What are you doing here? Did we disturb your sleep?” “What do you think?” lan respondedimpatiently with a rhetorical question.He couldn’t stand others interrupting his sleep. Sasha was no longer in the mood to fight. Shesprinted over to her son's side and coaxed, “I'm so sorry for interrupting you in the middle of thenight, lan. I promise you I won't fight with your father anymore, okay? Why didn't you put on anextra jacket? You should return to your room because it's getting late. Hurry up and get goingalready! Otherwise, you're going to catch a cold soon!”She nagged like a doting mother, yet lan had no intention to engage in a conversation with her. Hestood right where he was and cast a stern gaze at his father. “Daddy, you always tell me to see adoctor when I'm sick. Why are you behaving the other way round when a doctor is here? What'sholding you back?”“Excuse me?” lan's words took Sebastian by surprise. His son was siding with Sasha and forcing himinto submission. “If you don't live up to your word, you have no right to scold me if I refuse to visitthe doctor in the future!” The little boy rolled his eyes at his father and left without another word.Sasha stared at her son with her mouth agape.All it took from him was a short sentence to shut his father up. Sebastian was livid. Even the boardof directors of Hayes Corporation had to think twice about challenging his authority, but his son didit repeatedly as though it wasn't a big deal. He clenched his fists, cracking his fingers so loudly thatothers could hear it.Sebastian glared at Sasha, implying his will to get his revenge from the embarrassment. “Since youwon't let me check on your condition, I'll leave, okay? I'll leave at once!” She had no intention topick another fight with him so she turned around and left with her medical kit. Right before shecould step out of the entrance, Sebastian said, “Sasha, I'm doing this because of my son! If you tryanything silly, I'll get your uncle and his family member to compensate for my loss with theirlives!” Is something wrong with his mind?Why does he make it sound as though I have no choice but to check on him? Is it really necessary tothreaten me with my loved ones all the time? Sasha brought herself to an abrupt halt and repliednonchalantly, “Sure! If I can cure your sleeping disorder, can you please be so kind as to stopthreatening me whenever you feel like it?I don't want my son to get caught up with some nasty karma because of you!” For once, Sebastianwas at a loss for better words to defend himself. Truth be told, he didn’t expect the cowardly womanwho had married him back then to have the gift of the gab! They came to an agreement to ceasefire.Sebastian got anxious when Sasha instructed him to lie on the couch. She was amused at hiscomplete change in attitude as he did as told. is he afraid of my needles? Sasha got herself a chairand sat behind him. She started teasing the man. “Mr. Hayes, you don't have to worry. It's merely aneedle that's tinier than a bee's sting. I can't even crack your head with it.” Sebastian glared at Sashaone last time before closing his eyes and calming himself for the acupuncture session.She took out a few needles and administered them with skilled precision on his head to stimulatethe acupoints. When she came across his medical records in Clear Hospital, she already found a wayto deal with his sleeping disorder. In Western medicine, a doctor would diagnose him with insomniaand prescribe him with Diazepam and a few sessions of therapy.A patient would have a harder time falling asleep because of the over-reliance on the medicationfrom daily consumption, which was a typical side effect. After Sasha had a brief understanding of hissymptoms, she thought of applying pressure to stop stimulating the acupoints that would get himoverly excited. Using the TCM approach combined with doses of herbal medicine, Sebastianwouldn't have to suffer from any adverse side effects. With this treatment plan, she could deal withthe problem at its core and nurture his constitution back to his prime.“Mm—" Sasha heard the man's muffled grunt the moment she started stimulating the first acupoint.She looked at him and asked, “What's wrong? Do you experience a tingling sensation in your earsand blurred vision?” Sebastian's hands, which were supposed to be at ease, balled into fists out ofthe blue. Since he refused to reply, Sasha continued to administer the second needle.“Relax, okay? It's completely fine for you to feel uncomfortable. Once I apply the second needle,you're going to feel better.” Putting the grudge they held against one another aside, Sasha was,undeniably, a professional and qualified doctor. Sebastian merely felt a tingling sensation when thesecond needle pricked into his skin. Seconds after that, it alleviated the migraine that had beenbothering him. He felt as though a heavy boulder had been lifted off his shoulders. The fatigue hehad been suppressing took him by surprise, and he dozed off.
