My Substitute CEO Bride

In the living room of the villa, Mr. Dean was surrounded by a group of experts and professors in white coats.

Some of them were wearing tight frowns on their faces in addition to their helpless expressions.

“All of you, get out of the way!” Stellar yelled coldly.

When he saw Stellar, Mr. Dean quickly waved his hand to signal the group to make way. At that, everyone scattered to the sides.

Lying on the sick bed, Philix was looking at the ceiling through clouded eyes while his facial muscles twitched from time to time.

Stellar leaned close to Philix’s ear and whispered, “Warden, Nash is here.” However, Philix did not seem to have heard him as he stared at the ceiling still.

Nash came over to the sick bed, and when he did, a faint light flashed across the depths of his eyes. In Philix’s cloudy pupils, he saw transparent bugs that were as thick as strands of hair swimming around inside.

Philix was blind at this moment.

He had lost feeling in his limbs and was blind in both eyes. It was likely that the poison that caused deossification had also affected his hearing-

Philix was suffering from great pain seeing how his facial muscles twitched and how pale and bloodless his face was.

Nash turned to look at Mr. Dean. “Do you have any analgesics?”

“I’ve already given him two doses. It doesn’t seem to work,” Mr. Dean faltered as he replied.

Nash nodded. “Have all the idlers leave for now.”

With that, everyone exited the villa except Stellar.

Brian wanted to stay, but since this patient was of a fearful identity, he had no choice but to turn around and leave as well.

“Brian, you’re staying.”

Nash wanted to use the Divine Needling method, and Brian could stand to learn from him although how much he learned would depend on him.

“Can I stay?” Stellar asked.

Nash said nothing to that, so Stellar took it as a yes.

After everyone left the villa, Nash took out a bundle of smudge sticks from his pocket and said, “Take off the warden’s clothes!

”

Stellar and Brian jointly undressed Philix.

They could almost see every bone in Philix’s body after they removed his clothes.

The skin dangled loosely from his body as if he had no muscles, and the space between his ribs was sunken in. His stomach looked like it was sewn tightly to the skin of his abdomen.

He looked like just a piece of human skin wrapped around a skeleton.

“He lost 33 pounds in just one night,” Stellar croaked.

Nash grabbed seven silver needles and threw them in seven different directions, effectively destroying all the cameras in the living room of the villa.

In the next second, seven golden needles found their way to Nash’s palm.

The Divine Needling technique was rather shocking, so the fewer people who knew about it, the better. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Nash then inserted a golden needle into the very top of Philix’s head. The moment he let go of the gold, snake-shaped golden needle, it trembled slightly.

Following that, he inserted more into various other nodes on his head as well as one or two on his neck.

A strike on any of the nine points in total that he had inserted a needle into would render one numb and unconscious.

The nine gold, snake-shaped needles shook so much that they had even created doubled images. They produced a buzzing sound.

“The poison is stimulating the central nervous system, rendering analgesics useless. Even a coma would be something extravagant to hope for. These Divine Needles can disrupt the pressure points and allow the afflicted to temporarily enter a state of suspended animation.”

The heart rate monitor next to him issued an alarm for Philix’s low heart rate just as Nash was giving his explanation. The line eventually went still.

Stellar clenched his fists tightly, sweat appearing on his forehead.

He was so very worried… He was worried that the warden’s heart would stop beating forever.

Brian committed Nash’s every word into memory.

Nash looked back at Stellar and said lightly, “I’m only 20% certain now. If the warden doesn’t rouse, I hope you’ll be able to keep your calm.”
