Emily Walker's gaze also turned to her.

"Gentleman, the gentleman just asked me if there are any immortal mountains five hundred li outside Lingzhou City, and whether there are immortals flying on swords on those mountains..."

"It's over, he not only has soul-loss syndrome, but also has gone mad..."

Lily Carter's face was deathly pale. She clutched her chest and leaned weakly against Emily Walker's shoulder.

Lingzhou City, at the entrance of a certain alley.

Several women picked up their children, while a few men punched and kicked an old beggar leaning against the wall.

"Old thing, if you trick kids out of their money again, we'll beat you to death!"

Chapter 7: The Divine Doctor Prescribes Medicine

Grace Carter was very disappointed. His last shred of hope for returning home was shattered.

Immortal mountains, immortals, summoning wind and rain, chasing lightning and wind... all fake, all lies!

Feudal superstitions are truly harmful—even someone as highly educated as him couldn't escape them. Grace Carter felt secretly ashamed in his heart...

The weather was hot. Grace Carter lay on the bed, drowsily thinking about these things, his eyelids growing heavy.

He had a dream. In the dream, five hundred li outside Lingzhou City, there was an immortal mountain, and on the mountain were immortals who could summon wind and rain.

He went through countless hardships, entered the mountain gate, learned immortal arts, tore through time and space, traveled to the future, and finally returned to his original world.

Then, somehow, he saw Sophie's face.

Sophie shook his shoulders anxiously and said, "Gentleman, gentleman, don't sleep..."

Grace Carter had a habit of taking a nap at noon; only by sleeping a bit at midday could he have enough energy to cope with his heavy studies.

Seeing that he hadn't woken up, Sophie ran outside and shouted loudly, "Miss, Miss, the gent—"

Grace Carter instantly woke up, jumped out of bed, and quickly covered her mouth from behind.

It was already humiliating enough that he couldn't get it up in the morning. If news got out from Sophie that he couldn't get it up at noon either, he'd never be able to show his face again.

"Mmm..."

With her mouth covered, Sophie could only make muffled sounds, her eyes wide and looking at him innocently.

Grace Carter let go, and only then did she take a few deep breaths and say, "Gentleman, Miss Carter has invited a divine doctor. You should go take a look."

Lily Carter cared a lot about his health. Over the past half month, she had invited many doctors to the Zhong residence, trying to cure his "soul-loss syndrome."

Of course, this was only because she thought his amnesia was her fault.

In fact, the reason Grace Carter hadn't starved to death on the street was thanks to this Miss Carter. If not for her earth-shattering blow that day, how could he have food and drink every day, a big house to live in, and a beautiful wife—even if he could only look and not touch...

This made him feel even more like an ungrateful scoundrel. He decided to have a good talk with her today, to dispel her guilt over this matter, and to stop her from always calling doctors to torment him.

When he walked into the main hall, Emily Walker was accompanying Lily Carter. Seeing him enter, she walked over and said softly, "Mr. Bennett's medical skills are superb and he's very famous throughout Lingzhou. Perhaps he might have a way to treat your condition."

Grace Carter knew he wasn't sick, but no one else believed it—unless he could remember his own name and where he lived...

Grace Carter sat on the chair and skillfully extended his wrist. After all, no matter how divine the doctor, he couldn't possibly diagnose that he had traveled here from another world.

The elderly man with white hair and beard sitting across from him extended three fingers, placed them on his wrist, closed his eyes for a long while, and then slowly opened them.

Lily Carter stood beside him and hurriedly asked, "Dr. Bennett, how is it? Is his brain broken?"

Grace Carter glanced at her. He had never liked listening to this Miss Carter speak.

Dr. Bennett stroked his beard and shook his head, saying, "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon says: 'The heart is the ruler of the organs, from it comes spirit and clarity... The organs and limbs obey its command, intelligence and wisdom all arise from it.'"

Lily Carter was completely confused and looked to Emily Walker for help.

Emily Walker smiled and explained, "Dr. Bennett means that a person's thoughts and memories come from the heart. Your husband's amnesia seems like a head injury, but in fact, the harm is to his spirit."

This time, Lily Carter understood. She looked at Grace Carter and asked, "So, not only is his brain broken, but his heart is broken too?"

Grace Carter finally understood why people tried to force Emily Walker into marriage, but not Lily Carter.

With a girl like her, unless someone was blind, she probably wouldn't get married in this lifetime.

"This young man's pulse is steady, calm and gentle, neither floating nor sinking. His body is very healthy." Dr. Bennett looked at Grace Carter and said, "Illnesses of the heart and brain cannot be treated carelessly. I will first prescribe a formula to calm the mind and strengthen the brain. Take it for a while and observe the effects."

Sophie quickly brought paper and brush. Dr. Bennett dipped the brush in ink, thought for a moment, and began to write the prescription.

Grace Carter glanced at it and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

Regardless of Dr. Bennett's medical skills, just his beautiful handwriting alone left Grace Carter far behind—not to mention those scrawls on some modern prescriptions.

Ginseng, poria, scrophularia, salvia, platycodon...

Seeing the first few ingredients written by Dr. Bennett, Grace Carter found them all very familiar.

Very soon, he understood where this sense of familiarity came from.
