Olivia could not be bothered by Summer's accusations. Instead, she turned her attention to the director."Director Norris, it might be for the best to check if there's something added to the drinks."
The director then gave another order. "Go check out the surveillance footage. If you catch the culprit inaction, then immediately turn both the evidence and the culprit to the authorities!"
Summer was at ease as she had already sent someone to delete the footage. Now, there was noevidence tying her to the scene.
Just then, Jewel came back with Olivia's small black bag.
Olivia took it from her and then called out to the group of male actors. "Can someone go check onSean and Eric? If they are able to come out of the restroom, then I'll be able to help treat them."
One of the actors replied, "I'll do it."
With suspicion in his eyes, Director Norris looked at Olivia. "You know how to treat them?"
Olivia smiled. "Of course. I'm a doctor!"
Director Norris was surprised, but he quickly composed himself as he watched Olivia grab a clothpouch containing acupuncture needles from her small black bag. "You're not just any doctor, but a TCMdoctor?"
Olivia nodded in response. "Yes."
Curious, Director Norris asked, "Can TCM doctors cure diarrhea?"
Breaking into laughter, Olivia replied, "Of course!"
As the two were conversing, both Sean and Eric had managed to return. Their faces were very paleand they had lost their strength as they had difficulties walking without swaying.
Olivia then instructed them, "Find a place to lie down."
The two were flabbergasted. "Olivia, what are you planning?"
With a frown, Olivia impatiently gave a similar order, "Be obedient. Now lie down."
Sean was more compliant out of the two, as he went to lie down on a simple resting bed available tothe crew.
"Lift your top and your legs."
While saying that, Olivia pulled one of the acupuncture needles out of her cloth pouch.
As Sean laid eyes on that long silver needle, he was immediately struck with fear. "My god! Olivia! Justwhat are you going to do?"
With the needle in her hands, she patiently explained, "I'll be giving you an acupuncture!"
Sean immediately tried to get out of the bed. "No, no, no. That won't do. Going through an acupuncturetreatment is just too much for me. I think it'll be better for me to just spend my time in the restroom."
The corners of Olivia's mouth slightly twitched at Sean's reaction. Who would have thought that thegreat Doctor Bailey would be so disliked to this extent?
She was dumbstruck over what was happening and could only continue staring at him.
Truth be told, the people around them were skeptical about Olivia's claim as a doctor. If she was adoctor as she claimed, why would she go through the trouble of playing the role of an actor?
Furthermore, she was a TCM doctor. It would take years of accumulating experiences under one's beltto fully learn the methods of a TCM doctor. Without those experiences, no TCM doctor would have thecourage to give medical treatment.
Considering her age, that did not seem probable at all.
When thinking of acupuncture treatment, it was usually the image of an old man that was performing anacupuncture treatment; the image of a woman in her twenties performing an acupuncture treatmentwas just unbelievable.
In any event, she was benevolent enough to have offered acupuncture treatment to the actors, but whowould trust her skills as a TCM doctor?
Any ordinary person would think twice before accepting treatment from someone so young, let aloneartists—whose appearance and health was the lifeline to their income.
Should anything go wrong with the treatment, the lower half of the body of the person under anacupuncture treatment being paralyzed was all but guaranteed.
The air around the room turned slightly cold from the silence.
It was then Summer snorted. "We know Miss Maxwell wants to make amends, but to go as far as toperform an acupuncture treatment? You're just putting them on the spot right now. Not to mention thequestion of whether you have a doctor's license to practice. Even if you do, there's been a rise of thosethat hold a license yet without the skills to back it up. After all, we're talking about someone's life here.
No amount of money can recover what will be lost in case there's even the slightest misstep in thetreatment."
Backing down, Olivia waved her hands to stop the snide remarks. "Alright. Seems like I've made a foolout of myself. Since you guys have no faith in my abilities, then hurry up and seek treatment in ahospital. Don't delay it any longer!"
Eric frowned slightly. "What do you mean we have no trust in your abilities? Sean only said that he wasafraid of acupuncture and had never mentioned anything about his faith in your abilities. Don't twist hiswords like that."
Saying that, he turned to Olivia. "Olivia, give me the treatment. It's only an acupuncture treatment afterall. I've even heard it doesn't hurt at all!"
