William Foster got up. He originally wanted to get some things like a toothbrush for Icy, but who would have thought that Icy didn’t need any of that at all? Icy is a spirit, and has no concept of metabolism, so even if she doesn’t bathe for half a year, she can still remain fragrant all over.

When he went out, Tommy also came out holding Lily’s hand, with Lily looking sweet and demure.

William Foster asked in surprise, “Lily, didn’t Grace Bennett say yesterday that she was going to go shopping for clothes with you?”

“Did she? I forgot~ Oh right, William Foster, last night I heard you talking to a woman. Who was it? So mysterious, even hiding it from Tommy?”

“Huh? What woman?”

Tommy said, “See, I told you, how could there be a woman? William Foster doesn’t have a girlfriend yet!”

Lily laughed and said, “Alright then, I’ll help set you up with Grace Bennett if I get the chance.”

“Thank you, thank you~!”

William Foster was very grateful, so he treated Tommy and Lily to a simple breakfast, which cost four and a half yuan. When the three of them arrived at the hospital, it was just about time to start work.

William Foster changed into his white coat and sat upright in the office. Not long after, Grace Bennett walked in with a bright smile and said, “William Foster, yesterday’s patient is already here and registering downstairs. Get ready!”

“Oh? So early?”

“Yeah! Isn’t that great? After treating that old man, you’ll have the whole morning free~” Grace Bennett said with a mischievous grin.

William Foster couldn’t help but laugh and cry—Grace Bennett was clearly saying that his traditional Chinese medicine department wasn’t getting much business!

Before long, the old man was helped upstairs by his son. William Foster hurried to greet them, let the old man sit down, and then said, “Today I’ll increase the number of needles, a total of 16. Is that alright?”

The old man’s son quickly said, “Doctor, we haven’t thanked you for yesterday yet. If it weren’t for you, we really couldn’t afford the treatment at 50 yuan per needle!”

Grace Bennett pursed her lips and smiled from the side, “Only this fool would take the initiative to lower the treatment fee~”

William Foster felt a bit embarrassed. He wrote out a slip for them to pay, and a few minutes later, after getting the receipt, he began the acupuncture.

This time, Grace Bennett stood by and watched, her beautiful big eyes unblinking.

William Foster sat upright and focused, taking a deep breath and slowly channeling the heavy power within his body.

“Hiss~!”

With a faint sound, a light earthy yellow aura gathered on the fine needle. With a practiced flick of his hand, William Foster accurately inserted the needle into the old man’s body.

One after another, when all 16 needles were in, William Foster suddenly felt a wave of emptiness in his body and fell backward.

“Ah, William Foster, what’s wrong?”

Grace Bennett quickly caught William Foster, calling out anxiously.

Actually, William Foster was just feeling weak. At this moment, being in Grace Bennett’s arms, he could feel two soft mounds pressing against his back, and a wave of warmth washed over him. Instantly, William Foster’s face turned red.

But Grace Bennett was completely unaware, and hurriedly helped William Foster to a chair. Seeing that his forehead was covered in sweat, she asked, “William Foster, are you alright?”

“Uh… I’m fine, just a bit tired. Grace Bennett, check on the patient—are there any side effects?”

Grace Bennett turned to look. The old man was lying there, his expression relaxed.

“He’s fine. It looks like it’s working.”

William Foster chuckled, “That’s good.”

At this moment, Grace Bennett was already helping William Foster wipe his sweat, saying worriedly, “What’s going on? Why did you get dizzy during the acupuncture?”

William Foster shook his head, “I don’t know either. It just felt like all my strength was used up.”

Grace Bennett pouted unhappily, “Did you stay up all night playing computer games last night?”

“No, I didn’t even turn on my computer when I got home last night.” William Foster felt wronged, but seeing how much Grace Bennett cared about him, he also felt a warm glow inside.

Grace Bennett looked puzzled, “Then, is it because your diet is too poor and you’re malnourished?”

“That shouldn’t be it. The hospital’s lunch is so oily—maybe it’s gutter oil, but at least there’s some fat. It probably isn’t the food.”

Grace Bennett couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re still joking at a time like this?”

At that moment, the old man let out a long breath, his complexion much improved. He said excitedly, “Young doctor, I can feel some sensation in my leg! Your acupuncture really works~”

The old man’s son was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

William Foster smiled slightly and simply said, “It’s my duty.”

After about half an hour, William Foster removed all the needles. The old man, full of gratitude, left with his son’s help. William Foster thought there wouldn’t be any more patients registering that morning, but unexpectedly, not long after, someone came up from downstairs.

It was a very beautiful woman. Although she was dressed in a modern women’s suit, her demeanor exuded an ethereal aura that made others envious.

William Foster was very puzzled. A young woman not going to gynecology, but coming to the traditional Chinese medicine department—what for?
