Not a beat more, not a beat less. She could tell just by looking? This teenage sister of his was a medical prodigy!
“I’m going to begin the treatment now,” Juniper announced, preparing her instruments as she moved behind Harold. “It might hurt, but don’t move, no matter what. We don’t want any accidents.”
“What kind of accidents?” Harold chuckled, trying to sound relaxed. “Full-body paralysis? Or maybe I’ll end up brain-dead?”
“Nothing that dramatic,” Juniper replied, sterilizing a silver needle. “It might just affect… certain other functions.”
Other functions? Harold froze, not immediately understanding.
Juniper pointedly emphasized a nerve cluster located very close to his lower body. He could figure out the rest.
It took Harold a few seconds, but when realization dawned, he instinctively recoiled.
“Don’t be scared, bro,” Juniper said with a wicked grin. “I’ll be extra careful to protect your wife’s happiness for the rest of her life.”
His wife? At the mention of her, Harold’s face paled slightly. The rest of their lives… there was no “rest of their lives” for them. Once this was all over, they would go their separate ways.
The treatment officially began. Despite her teasing, Harold remained perfectly still. The entire process lasted an hour. Juniper was meticulous with every needle, and Harold felt no significant discomfort.
“All done,” Juniper said, removing the last needle. “Try not to overexert yourself for a while.”
“Thank you, Juniper,” Harold said.
He didn’t know if it would actually work, but he chose to trust her. Just as Juniper went to wash her hands, his phone vibrated. The screen displayed the name “Lorelei.”
