The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 927 Misunderstanding

"Stop stalling! Get on with treating Isla! If you can't cure her, just wait and see how I punish you!"

Deep down, Avery actually hoped Daniel could cure Isla's pain with just one needle.

After all, even though she looked down on him as a son-in-law, it'd be quite amusing if he did manage to cure her friend's stomach pain with one shot!

Daniel picked up a needle and asked Isla, "Are you sure you want me to use this silver needle?"

"Absolutely!" Isla replied.

"All right!" Daniel pointed to the large sofa and said, "Isla, please lie down comfortably!"

"Lie down?" Isla looked skeptical and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"To give you acupuncture, I need to treat your stomach pain, so you have to lie on your stomach. That way, I can target the right area for treatment!" Daniel said earnestly.

Every word he spoke, every look he gave, not a hint of mischief was in sight!

"What area are you talking about?" Isla asked.

Fearing she wouldn't understand if he described it, he pointed back at himself, saying, "Right here."

That gesture shocked Isla, and she yelled, "Hick, are you crazy?! You actually want to stick a needle near my... you know?"

From her reaction, Daniel instantly realized she had misunderstood his intentions, and it was a huge misunderstanding at that.

So he quickly clarified with a laugh,

"Isla, I'm not being lewd! I genuinely

want to treat your stomach pain. You see, this is a serious issue-it's an old problem that has built up and exploded tonight. To solve it all at once, I really need to work around that area."

At that moment, Daniel paused before adding, "Of course, if you really don't want me to do that, I have an alternative solution. But that one will only relieve the pain temporarily, which means in a few days, you'll still have stomach pain

and lose blood."

"Then let's just stick with the alternative!" Isla said, not holding back. "You're such a dumbass-you really are a pervert! I can tell you can't cure anyone; you're just trying to pull a fast one!" Avery couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as she listened to the exchange.

"Fine, if you won't accept the first plan, I'll just stick a needle in your fingertip it might hurt a bit, but it should still help. At least the pain from your finger won't compare to your current stomach pain!"

As soon as Daniel said that, Isla shot him another icy glare.

"Ha!" After her cold laugh, she asked, "Hick, are you admitting you've been lying?"

Daniel looked dumbfounded. "Lying? What do you mean?"

"You just said you would stick a needle near my... you know you're just trying to take advantage of me! Because you could simply fix this stomach pain by pricking my fingertip instead!"
