Chapter 3301 You Should Be Grateful

Gordan's face turned pale.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Ms. Craw, if I just let it heal on its own, how long would it take?" He had felt this kind of pain before and did not want to go through with the treatment anymore.

Gordan even thought that he would rather have a stiff hand than go through this pain again. After all, he would not just be experiencing the pain once but over and over again.

Luca stood straight and looked at him seriously. "Mr. Norton, are you scared?"

"I'm the kind of guy who's a bit afraid of pain," admitted Gordan, not embarrassed in the slightest. "Maybe I should just forget about it."

"If you skip therapy, your hand might never fully recover," Luca warned him, trying to scare him a little. The truth was, it would heal, but it would take a long time.

Even after it healed, it would not be as nimble as before.

For an average person, Gordan's current condition might be good enough. However, for someone like him, any slight loss of agility could be fatal. In his line of work, even the smallest margin could be the difference between life and death.

"So, should I go to the hospital for this?" Gordan thought maybe the physical therapy at the hospital would not hurt as much.

"It'll be the same at the hospital," replied Luca. She took out a bottle of medicine from the cabinet. "If you're really afraid of the pain, I can give you a sedative."

"No, no, no!" Gordan did not like the idea of being sedated.

He clenched his teeth and was about to say something when he heard Gale teasing him." Really, Gordan? A grown man like you, afraid of a little pain?"

Gordan rolled his eyes. "How about I cut you in the same spot, let you heal, and then you can ask Dr. Craw to try it on you?"

Gale muttered, "I'm not stupid."

"Aren't you supposed to be discussing business? What are you doing here stirring up trouble?" Gordan shot him an annoyed look.

"I came out for coffee, and then I overheard you whining about being scared of pain. It's hilarious!" Gale did not hold back in making fun of him.

"Gale!" Gordan did not mind losing his dignity in front of a beautiful woman, but he could not stand being embarrassed in front of his friends.

"Dr. Craw, don't listen to him. Just give him the full treatment, make it hurt, and maybe he'll learn his lesson," added Gale. He was grinning as he turned to Luca.

"Gale, if you have nothing nice to say, then just keep your mouth shut!" roared Gordan.

Friends like them were always ready to throw each other under the bus.

Gale shrugged innocently.

"Mr. Norton, let's go downstairs." Luca picked up the disinfected tools along with the ones she would need later.

Gordan looked dejected, glaring at Gale one last time as he walked by.

Gale saw the look on his face and could not help resist stirring the pot even more. He walked over to Luke's room and said, "Boss, wanna watch them? We can finish discussing things later."

Luke frowned. It was just a dry needling treatment. What was there to watch?

"Dr. Craw said it's going to hurt a lot," added Gale.

Luke immediately rose to his feet and walked out. "Let's go."

Gale gave him a thumbs-up. It seemed no one wanted to miss Gordan's moment of pain.

Luke noticed the gesture and explained, "I'm just worried Gordan might lash out and hurt Luca if it's too painful."

"Gordan can't hurt Dr. Craw even if he tries. She's got some serious skills," replied Gale, making a mock boxing pose.

He knew Luca had spent three years on the Island of Despair, so her skills were definitely not to be underestimated.

When Luca saw the two of them following along, she smiled and asked, "What are you guys doing out here?"

"We came to watch," answered Luke.

Gordan looked helpless. "Luke, when did you start acting like Gale? Are you waiting to see me embarrassed?"

Luke raised an eyebrow, pretending to be innocent.

Luca suddenly understood the humorous dynamics among men. She suppressed a smile as she walked over to the parasol and neatly folded clean gauze. One by one, she laid out the needles, then placed them in a dust-proof container to sterilize under the sunlight.

"Why are you doing that?" asked Gordan, intrigued by the sight.

"I'm warming the needles to a temperature close to body heat. This makes the treatment more effective."

Luca pulled over another small stool to sit on. She then glanced at Luke and Gale. "I didn't prepare seats for you two. If you want to take a seat, you'll have to grab your own chairs."

"I'm fine standing," replied Luke.

Gale nodded in agreement, then glanced at the needles and said, "Gordan, you really don't get it. How could you ask to skip therapy? Do you know how lucky you are? This treatment is way more gentle than the one Dr. Craw did for Pierre."

Gordan raised an eyebrow.

"I saw the footage. Dr. Craw didn't even use her full dry needling set for him. She had none of this extra care. You're totally spoiled, and you don't even know it." Gale chuckled, clearly

enjoying the show.

He loved watching Gordan squirm, so he leaned in and whispered, "Dr. Craw, go ahead and make it hurt. Consider it payback for your best friend."

Gordan's expression darkened. "Why bring her up?"

"Did I say who it was?" Gale raised his eyebrows mischievously.

Gordan pouted and turned away.

"Come on, man up. A little pain never hurts," added Gale.

Gordan, sitting in his chair, motioned toward him. "Yeah? If a little pain's no big deal, why

don't you take my place?"

"No way." Gale shook his head. "I'm perfectly fine, so no need for needles."

"Coward." Gordon scoffed and glared at him.

Gale could not be bothered. Let Gordan say what he wanted. After all, Gale was just there to watch the show. There was no need for him to prove he was not afraid of pain by getting

poked with a needle.

Luca listened to the banter between the two men and then glanced over at Luke.

He stood there, watching her quietly. Their eyes met, and an overwhelming sense of warmth

and affection filled the air.

Luca gave him a gentle smile and looked away.

However, Gale noticed the unspoken connection between them and could not help but

comment, "Wow, that's some serious PDA."

Luca let out a laugh, then walked over to the stool and touched the needles. "The temperature's just right. Mr. Norton, please roll up your sleeve."

Gordan heard this and quickly rolled up his sleeve, eyeing the needles with a shiver. "Are

you using all of those?"

"We'll see." Luca poured some iodine into a clean basin. She picked up tweezers and a cotton

swab, preparing to disinfect his arm.

Gale, always ready to tease, said, "You should be grateful for Dr. Craw's gentle care."

"Shut up!" A vein pulsed on Gordan's forehead.

The disinfecting did not hurt, but every time Luca moved, Gordan could not help but

remember the intense pain from the check-up earlier. It hurt even worse than getting shot!

Sensing that Luca was about to begin, Gale finally went silent.

The first needle went in, and Gordan's brow twitched. It hurt, but it was bearable.

Still, the pain did not go away after the needle was inserted.

Gordan asked, "Dr. Craw, why does it still hurt after the needle's in?"

"It's because your recovery isn't going well. Just bear with it," replied Luca as she continued

inserting needle after needle.

Gordan bit down on his lip hard, trying to stop himself from crying out.
