As soon as Leigh said this, the expressions of everyone present drastically changed.
Even Harvey, who lay like a corpse, fluttered his lashes when he understood the implications behind
her words. Then, he turned his head and stared at her with something akin to hope.
Just like Yelena, Leigh did not make her words clear, but everyone present could hear that she was
alluding to something.
Yelena's expression became nasty. "What do you mean by that?! I know that you have a grudge
against our family, but it was Penny who harmed you, not us! So, don't think you can drive a wedge
between us just because of your bluff!"
"Calm down. I just stated a fact based on my expertise. Why are you so worked up about this?" Leigh
opened the medical kit, took out her golden needles, and strode to Harvey. "I can help you recover to
your original appearance, but I need you to work with me. Now, tell me, do you still want to die? I don't
want to waste my time if you still wish for death."
Harvey stared at her unblinkingly and didn't say a word.
Austin went to Harvey's side and reassured him, "Harvey, you wanted to commit suicide because of
your body image. Leigh has made it clear that she can help you go back to the way you were before.
Please, Harvey, there is still light at the end of the tunnel!"
"Yes, Harvey!" Clayton chimed in, "Think about your previous appearance. You're smart, intelligent,
handsome, and charming. As long as Leigh cures you, you will be able to return to your old self!"
"Don't you want to go back to the old days so those people who used to look down on you can see that
you're back to normal?! Do you want to die like a coward?" Leigh did the preparatory work before
acupuncture and threw some inciteful barbs at him with a dispassionate tone.
"Can I really lose weight?" Harvey finally spoke for the first time after she made an appearance.
She did not answer his question but turned her head to Austin and ordered, "Get a weight scale."
"Right away!" Austin immediately left the ward and searched for one. The hospital had plenty of
weighing scales, so he quickly returned.
"Seeing is believing." Leigh pointed to the scale. "Stand up and weigh yourself. After that, I will perform
your first acupuncture. You have serious symptoms, so the first acupuncture will have an undeniable
outcome. You'll lose 10 pounds at the very least."
"Really?" Harvey gasped in awe.
Leigh said, "If I lie, my lie will be exposed after I treat you. So why would I bother lying to you?"
"Harvey, you need to give it a try!" Austin spared no effort to persuade him, "You have nothing
bothering you except for your weight problem. If she can solve that problem, you don't have anything to
worry about. Think about your father. Do you really want him to be sad because of you? Do you want
him, an elder, to send you off before your time?"
"Harvey, please do this for my sake. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to
you!" Clayton held Harvey's hand and begged with teary eyes.
Harvey swept his gaze across his father's graying hair for a moment, gritted his teeth, and voiced with
difficulty, "Fine. I'll give it a try!"
Being alive was certainly better than dying. He wouldn't have thrown his life away if he hadn't been
plagued by his obesity.
Austin and Clayton genuinely cared about him, and he didn't want them to be sad because of him.
Leigh only decided to proceed with the acupuncture after she noticed his desire to live and the wary
hope in his eyes. She would not have been interested in treating him if he had looked so dead and
hopeless.
Clayton and Austin helped Harvey to the scale, and Harvey weighed in at 335 lbs.
After that, Leigh began treating him, which was carried out for more than an hour.
After the acupuncture, Harvey and Leigh were sweating profusely, utterly drenched in sweat.
Her acupuncture technique was different from others as it was extraordinarily laborious. Even though
she was physically fit, she was exhausted after an hour of acupuncture.
She removed all the golden needles from Harvey's body and instructed Austin, "Weigh him."
Clayton and Austin hurriedly supported Harvey to the scale and weighed him again.
313 pounds!
He was at least 20 pounds lighter than earlier! 20!
In just an hour or so, Harvey had become 20 pounds lighter! Everyone turned to look at Leigh in awe
and disbelief.
"There's no need to look at me like that." Leigh dropped the golden needles into the special sterilized
box. "What he lost is just water. His whole body is puffy, and the puffiness is the excess water stored in
his body. The first acupuncture session is just to remove some of the excess water in his body.
Acupuncture, medicine, exercise, and a healthy diet. If he wants to return to the good old days, he will
have to adhere to these four things."
She turned to Clayton and continued, "I'll write down a list of recipes. He will have to eat according to
the recipe I have given. Also, his daily exercise will be planned in accordance with my requirements. It
will be quite demanding in the beginning. He may not be able to do it based on his willpower, so
someone will have to keep an eye on him to ensure that he strictly follows my rules."
"I can do it!" Before Clayton could say anything, Harvey exclaimed with his eyes shining with unbridled
hope and joy, "As long as I can lose weight and see significant results, I'll do whatever you want me to
do. No matter what your program is, I can stick to it!"
"Yes, I can prove that he can do it!" Austin echoed, "In the past, he suffered a lot to lose weight. I'm
impressed by his self-control and perseverance, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lose even
an ounce of weight. The doctor said that obesity caused by hormones is irreversible, and he couldn't do
anything about it even if he maintained a vigorous exercise routine and a strict diet. Even so, he didn't
give up hope. He kept pushing himself."
Unfortunately, the doctor seemed to be correct. It seemed that Harvey's obesity was irreversible
because nothing that Harvey did was a success.
Yet, he saw a miracle happen before his eyes just now! In just one hour, Harvey was 20 pounds lighter!
Harvey was remarkably persistent and somewhat obsessed with his weight. Austin believed that as
long as he could lose weight—even if it were close to illegible—he would keep going.
"Good." Leigh nodded in satisfaction. "One more thing. He needs to leave his current living
environment and be completely isolated from the people who used to have access to his food. It will be
useless if the other side harms him while I treat him. He will die sooner or later."
"What do you mean by that?!" Yelena scowled in anger when Leigh brought this up again. "Are you
implying that someone in our family is harming Harvey? The only people with access to his food are
me, his father, and his brother. We are a family. We want him to get better! Don't you insult us like that!"
"Oh, I see..." Leigh drawled, "I don't know if someone deliberately harmed him or he accidentally ate
something harmful, but I think if you call the police regarding this matter, the police will do their
investigation on this… As you know, it may be a case of poisoning. But then again, that's just my two
cents."
She donned a meaningful smile as she regarded Yelena. "Justice has long arms. If someone truly
harmed him, the police would certainly find out the truth once they began a thorough investigation. So,
if you think I have wronged you, let's call the police. Only the police can prove your innocence."
