Although it was uncomfortable and awkward, Kobe could accept it if this was all the treatment required.
But then Chen Yu kept going, not stopping until he had practically turned Kobe into a human pincushion. That's when Kobe started to panic.
Kobe didn't dare move. There was only one thought in his mind: 'Hardaway, you tricked me.'
Pelinka silently took out his phone to snap a commemorative photo.
After a moment, Chen Yu removed the needles.
"Chen, is this just a one-time thing?" Kobe asked, his voice still shaky.
Chen Yu pulled on a pair of Gloves and prepared for the massage. "Mm, just this once for today. After that, it'll be once a day until you're discharged from the hospital."
Kobe froze on the spot.
Hardaway, who was standing nearby, couldn't hold back his laughter.
Kobe wore an expression of utter despair, but the moment Chen Yu's hands began the massage, he instantly felt a change.
A tingling numbness spread through him. It was a comfort he had never felt before.
