Then they heard the sound of footsteps coming up soon after. Dominic opened the door just as Lily reached. Seeing that he had the door opened, she raised her eyebrows, unmoved. "Have you started?"
"I was waiting for you!"
"What if I didn't show up?"
"Then, I'd do it myself!"
"How many years has it been since you last did this? Aren't you afraid you might miss the points?"
"Then, I'll just poke another time. There's not much difference if I put in a few more needles."
As the two talked, Austin broke into a cold sweat.
‘What do they mean that having two extra needles in my body is okay? Also, what did Uncle Dom mean by waiting for Lily to show up? Could it be…’
"Wait a minute!" Austin leaned up and looked at the two chatting by the door. "Who’s going to do the acupuncture on me? Is it…"
Lily glanced at him, then at Dominic. "You didn't tell him?"
"Tell him what?" The older man fluttered his eyes innocently. "He's the patient. Does he have the right to choose a doctor?"
Austin was bewildered to hear this. 'Why not?!'
