“How’s it?” Zuko released his lips after a long time. “Does the ‘magic pill’ cure everything?”
Lina blushed and buried herself in his embrace, avoiding eye contact.
However, a commotion erupted at the door. Dave rushed in…
Lina’s expression changed, and she quickly pushed Zuko away.
“Mr. Door Guardian!” Dave appeared flustered. “I heard everything you said when I was out there!”
Zuko was taken aback. “What… did you hear?”
“You have a magic pill that cures everything!”
Zuko looked uncomfortable and remained silent.
“You managed to heal my dad, bro. I trust in your medical skills, and I believe there’s definitely such a pill that exists
in this world! Can it fix my foot?” asked Dave.
“No, no…” Zuko started sweating. “I—”
“Bro, I hurt my foot playing basketball yesterday. My ankle is still swollen. Let me try the pill!” insisted Dave.

laughter.
Suddenly, a voice called out “Zeke” from the alley while Dave was still bewildered.
Lina was stunned, and she locked eyes with Zuko. They both recognized the familiar voice.
As expected, a familiar face soon appeared…
“Ha, Mr. Zeke and Ms. Lina… You sure made me sweat looking for you!”
Fred appeared somewhat pale as he held onto the door. Even his smile seemed forced.
Zuko furrowed his brow and instinctively positioned himself in front of Lina. He asked in his deep voice, “Why are
you here?”
“Don’t worry. I’m not here to cause trouble.” Fred appeared tired.
At that moment, his assistant approached and respectfully explained, “Mr. Grist heard that Mr. Zeke is
knowledgeable about holistic healing. We’re here for an examination.”
“You heard?” Lina poked her head out. “Where did you hear it from?”
The assistant smiled. “Didn’t he treat all the elderly in the entire alley? Someone from the Grists lives nearby, and
we heard it through word of mouth.”
Zuko and Lina exchanged glances.
It didn’t sound like a lie, but it was suspicious. With Fred’s status, he could easily go to the hospital if he was unwell.
He had access to the best medical resources, so why was he here?
“This might surprise you. The hospital couldn’t find anything wrong with me, but I’m really not feeling well… Today,
while I was working on a bidding plan in the office, I suddenly felt dizzy and nearly fainted. One of my subordinates
recommended a ‘magic doctor’ in this alley. I only discovered it was you when I arrived here!”
Zuko’s eyes darkened.
He blamed himself for being too conspicuous in healing Jesse so quickly. It made sense that Melissa was spreading
the word with pride.
However, Zuko discreetly observed Fred’s complexion…
It was indeed below par.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis grandfather had taught him that healing was a doctor’s calling. Although Zuko wasn’t a doctor, he had learned
a great deal about medicine by shadowing his grandfather from a young age.
Since Fred was unwell, he decided to examine him.
Zuko faked a cough and gestured for Fred to sit at the table, asking him to present his wrist.
The pulse check didn’t take long, but each minute and second felt excruciatingly long to Fred.
Every time Zuko frowned, glanced away, or cleared his throat, Fred imagined he had a terminal illness.
“Mr. Zeke…” Fred asked cautiously. “Am I okay?”
Zuko appeared relaxed as he glanced at Fred and spoke. “There’s something, but it’s minor. The hospitals focus on
Western medicine and rely heavily on machines. They often overlook small issues like the one you have.”
Fred felt relieved upon hearing the phrase “small issues”. He asked, “Then what is it…”
“Specifically, your energy and blood levels are low. There’s a stagnation of energy in your liver, and you have
kidney deficiency!”
“Ahem…” Fred nearly covered his mouth in embarrassment.
Fred half-covered his face and signaled Zuko with an exaggerated expression. “Do you really have to announce that
I have kidney deficiency in front of everyone?”
