The bright sunlight suddenly vanished, and everything before his eyes turned a bit dark. Grace Carter looked up and saw a pair of long legs.

Grace Carter estimated conservatively that Lily Carter was at least about 1.75 meters tall, with a tall and slender figure. Because her chest was so flat, it made it seem like everything below her neck was just legs...

If she were ten centimeters taller, Grace Carter would have to look up at her.

Lily Carter handed him a book and said, “Dr. Bennett asked me to give this to you. Take a look and see if it helps you remember anything.”

Grace Carter stood up and took the tattered copy of “Qian Jin Fang” from her hand. Even though he knew it wouldn’t help him remember anything, he still opened it in front of Lily Carter.

Lily Carter looked at him and asked expectantly, “Well, did you remember anything?”

Grace Carter shook his head.

A look of disappointment appeared on Lily Carter’s face. Suddenly, she looked at Grace Carter and said, “How about I hit you again? Maybe if I hit you one more time, you’ll remember…”

Grace Carter’s face darkened a bit.

Seeing the eager look on Lily Carter’s face, he quickly said, “Miss Tang, thank you for your kindness. I don’t blame you for my amnesia, so please don’t trouble yourself about it anymore…”

“No way, I always take responsibility for what I do. Don’t worry, I’ll see this through to the end…” As she spoke, she suddenly clutched her lower abdomen, a trace of pain appearing between her brows. She couldn’t help but bend over and ask, “Do you have any hot water here?”

Grace Carter looked at her with a strange expression and nodded. “Yes.”

Ever since he came to this world, he had developed the habit of only drinking hot water. At the very least, it had to be boiled and cooled. With the current level of medical care, if he got diarrhea or caught some disease from drinking raw water, he might not even get a second chance to transmigrate.

He quickly came out of the room, carrying a cup of hot water, and handed it to Lily Carter.

After Lily Carter finished the water with a frown, she still clutched her lower abdomen, the pain between her brows not lessening at all.

Grace Carter looked at her, thought for a moment, and said, “Actually, drinking hot water only helps a little. Drinking more won’t do much. You shouldn’t touch cold water at this time, and keeping warm is important. You should use a hot water bag…”

Grace Carter pointed to her lower abdomen and said, “Put it here. It’s very helpful for relieving pain.”

“Really?” Lily Carter looked at him suspiciously.

“Just try it and you’ll see.”

“Who wants to try…” Lily Carter glanced at Grace Carter, saw that he was still pointing at her lower abdomen, her face flushed red, and she looked at him, both embarrassed and annoyed. “Shameless!”

Grace Carter stared blankly as she walked away, her two long legs swaying. After a long while, he tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Heh, women…”

Tang Residence.

A maid named Xiu’er walked into the room, looked at Lily Carter lying on the bed, and said, “Miss, here’s the hot water bag you asked for…”

Chapter 9: An Immortal Outside the World?

That Dr. Bennett’s medical skills might really be superb, because after learning that even Dr. Bennett was helpless about her “amnesia,” Lily Carter didn’t bother to invite any other doctors.

This finally gave Grace Carter a few days of peace and quiet.

Grace Carter had long noticed that Lily Carter wasn’t a bad person. Aside from being a bit reckless, not very good with words, and a bit flat-chested, she was actually quite kind-hearted, and had a mysterious sense of responsibility.

Her shortcomings were obvious, but so were her strengths.

Her legs were very long.

In later generations, when men described beautiful women, they often used this phrase:

Fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs.

For many people, their love for long legs even surpassed fair skin and a beautiful face.

Of course, Grace Carter wasn’t obsessed with legs. He just thought Lily Carter’s legs were very long. Even without high heels, she gave off a strong sense of beauty—although he hadn’t measured them himself, his intuition told him her figure was probably very close to the golden ratio.

Grace Carter returned once again from outside, still with no news of that little beggar.

If he hadn’t confirmed it from the mouths of those beggars, he would have suspected that, on the verge of starving to death, he’d just hallucinated the whole thing.

He returned to the Zhong Residence, passed through a moon gate, and was about to head back to his room when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Grace Carter didn’t have time to stop and ran straight into her.

“Ouch!”

Lily Carter clutched her nose, tears streaming down her face, glaring at him angrily. “Why are you walking so fast…”

“What are you doing here?” Grace Carter rubbed his chin in surprise.

He’d just been thinking about that little beggar when Lily Carter suddenly jumped out from behind the moon gate, giving him quite a scare.

“I…”

Of course, Lily Carter wasn’t about to tell him that she’d checked the medical books, which said that people with amnesia might recover their memories if startled, so she thought she’d try it a few more times…

She hadn’t expected that not only did she fail to scare him, but she also bumped her nose, and it hurt so much that she cried.

Lily Carter rubbed her perky nose and waved her hand. “Forget it, I, being the bigger person, won’t hold it against you!”

Grace Carter shook his head, went back to his room, and took out a book he hadn’t finished reading yesterday to pass the time.
