Aizen smiled slightly at Minerva Glass, then picked up a gold needle. Pressing Juno Glass's head gently with his left hand, he said, "Madam, please don't move."
"Okay," Juno Glass replied.
After locating the acupoint, Aizen slowly inserted the gold needle.
About ten seconds later, Juno Glass suddenly stood up excitedly.
"Light! I see light! I see light!"
"Madam, please sit down!"
Aizen quickly stood up and helped Juno Glass sit down again.
After sitting down, Juno Glass exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you! Mr. Aizen, I don't know what to say. Thank you so much! Light—I actually saw light!"
"Madam, I'm going to remove the golden needles now, and then you won't be able to see the light anymore. I hope you won't be nervous."
Aizen said this as he removed the golden needles.
Because she had been mentally prepared, Juno Glass did not react too strongly when the darkness returned, although she was clearly disappointed.
Seeing this, Minerva Glass hurriedly asked, "Mr. Aizen, can my mother's eyes be cured?"
"Sigh!"
Aizen sighed and shook his head.
Minerva Glass asked anxiously, "Mr. Aizen, is it really impossible?"
"If it's really impossible, then so be it. Anyway, I've already gotten used to it over the years," Juno Glass said calmly.
Although she said this, suddenly seeing hope only to have it disappear moments later was unsettling. She felt disappointed, but she didn't show it in order to avoid worrying her daughter.
Aizen said, "Miss Glass, you misunderstand. My shaking my head didn't mean it's untreatable—it's just a bit difficult."
"It can be treated? That's wonderful!"
Minerva Glass exclaimed excitedly, then quickly added, "As for the difficulties, Mr. Aizen, please tell us directly. We're willing to pay whatever it costs."
"It's not about the money," Aizen said, waving his hand as he looked at Juno Glass. "Ms. Glass's condition isn't very good, so a cure won't be possible in the short term. I'll be returning to Japan in a few days, and I don't plan to leave Japan except for travel. Therefore, it will be difficult for us to arrange the full treatment."
Minerva Glass hurriedly said, "Mr. Aizen, would it be possible for us to stay in Japan permanently?"
Aizen nodded. "That's not a problem. But since you're British, I'm afraid you might not get used to living there—especially since the treatment will take more than a year."
"That's absolutely no problem, Mr. Aizen!" Minerva Glass said with a smile. Living abroad was simply a matter of convenience; it was not a problem at all. As long as her mother's eyesight could be cured, she was willing to endure any hardship, let alone something like this.
Aizen smiled slightly. His goal had already been achieved. Once he brought the mother and daughter to Japan, he could do whatever he wanted with them.
Since Aizen was able to temporarily restore Juno Glass's vision, both Minerva Glass and Juno Glass naturally expressed their gratitude repeatedly. Aizen replied modestly that it was nothing.
After thanking him again, Minerva Glass asked with concern, "Mr. Aizen, when will you begin the treatment?"
Aizen replied, "I need to go back and think about the treatment plan. If I can decide before returning to Japan, I'll come here to treat Ms. Glass. If I haven't decided on a plan yet, then we'll have to wait until you arrive in Japan."
Juno Glass said, "I'm not in a hurry, Mr. Aizen. Please take your time."
Aizen nodded in understanding and explained, "The first treatment is the most effective. It stimulates the body's natural potential. Subsequent treatments will be less effective, which is why the treatment takes so long."
Aizen said this mainly to give the mother and daughter confidence at the beginning. Extending the treatment period was simply his way of keeping them in Japan long enough for him to pursue them. Once he had them, he wouldn't have to worry about them leaving even after the treatment was finished.
Juno Glass said, "Doctors from all over the world have been unable to treat my eyes. I am already very grateful that Mr. Aizen is willing to try. It's only natural that it will take a long time."
"I'm glad Ms. Glass understands," Aizen said with a smile and a nod.
Minerva Glass then said, "It's getting late. Let's go downstairs for dinner."
The three of them left the room together and headed down to the dining area.
