Eric suddenly said, “Aren’t you good at needle therapy? Wouldn’t needle therapy help improve circulation?” 

Alice was genuinely shocked that he would say something so unexpected. 

“It could, but there’s really no need,” she replied. 

She felt the comment was a bit inappropriate, but for the sake of better understanding her patient, she still asked, “Mr. Eric, may I ask you a rather private question?” 

Daniel immediately got out of the car. 

Anything private was definitely not something he should hear. 

Hearing it might actually get him killed. 

Eric waited until the car door closed. “Go ahead.” 

“Well, do you … enjoy the pain from acupuncture?” Alice said carefully. 

Eric thought about it. 

Those needles had saved his life. 

They had also helped his body steadily recover. 

Compared to those results, the pain from the needles barely mattered. 

“Yes,” he said, nodding. 

Alice’s heart skipped, and she instantly felt unsettled. 

“Do you want it every day?” 

Eric looked confused, but he still considered the question seriously. 

At the beginning, he really had needed daily treatments to detox. 

Back then, because his body’s responses were slow, he barely felt the needles at all. 

It was only later that he started to feel pain. 

That had actually been a good sign.

If daily needle therapy helped improve his physical function, then why not? 

Even three or five times a day would be fine.

He answered solemnly, “Yes. If you’re willing, three times, five times, or even more would be 

fine.” 

Alice froze in shock. 

This was absolutely explosive information. 

Mr. Eric clearly had a bit of a masochistic streak. 

She would really need to be careful during future needle therapy sessions. 

And this was a psychological issue. 

She would definitely need to find a professional hypnotherapist to address it. 

Which meant contacting Julius. 

Even though she could technically handle it herself, she was too familiar with Eric. 

That familiarity could easily bias her and make proper hypnotherapy difficult. 

What a headache. 

She rubbed her temples. “Forget it. Let’s just go home first.” 

Going to Julius would definitely cost her a lot of leverage. 

Still… 

After getting out of the car, she glanced at Eric walking beside her and suddenly smiled. 

She felt a bit like one of those ancient rulers who threw everything away for beauty.. 

The two of them rested for most of the day. 

That evening, St. Anne Hospital called and asked Alice to come in. 

Samson was in a terrible mood. 

Alice pushed back immediately. “This kind of thing should be handled by a nurse or a caregiver. Why are they calling me?”

Jack had no choice but to explain. “He insisted that only you could help. We even had Andy come over because we thought it might be a psychological issue. Ms. Spencer, he’s your patient. You can’t just ignore it.” 

Alice was completely confused. 

When had she suddenly taken on another patient? 

Why didn’t she know about it herself? 

At the hospital, after examining Samson, Andy concluded that it wasn’t a mental health issue. 

Jack was equally at a loss. 

Sandy, who happened to be volunteering there, noticed something unusual. Her attention was drawn to the symbolic compass Samson kept with him. 

She had heard before that Ruby had someone by her side who understood energy flow. 

To be honest, many large companies kept specialists like that on staff. 

They consulted them when opening new branches, launching projects, or evaluating land. 

Of course, a lot of it was really just to give the people in charge some peace of mind. 

Still, Sandy knew that Ruby once had an exceptionally skilled energy specialist who had helped her at a critical moment. 

Later, that person vanished. 

Sandy had asked Ruby about it, but Ruby avoided the topic. 

After that, Sandy never dared bring it up again. 

Now, the symbolic compass Samson carried looked very similar to the one that person had used. 

That was why Sandy felt so surprised. 

So when Andy was about to go find another specialist for consultation, Sandy stayed behind. “Mr. Silva, may I take a look at the symbolic compass you’re carrying?” she said gently. 

Samson was already extremely agitated.

What he really wanted was to see Alice and demand an explanation.

He needed to know how she had been able to see through his life pattern, especially since his mentor had helped conceal it before he left the mountains. 

Without real cultivation, no one should’ve been able to tell. 

And Alice had been frighteningly accurate. 

Now his mind was in chaos. He needed answers. 

He didn’t hear a word Sandy said. 

It wasn’t until she stepped closer and reached out for the symbolic compass that he snapped back to his senses and quickly pulled it away. 

“Who are you?” 

Sandy hadn’t expected him to turn so cold all of a sudden. 

Still, the older man from before had been the same way. 

Only when he was with Ruby did he show even a trace of warmth. 

After a brief moment of disappointment, she stopped thinking about it. 

“I’m Sandy Nolan. I’m with Nolan Group,” she said.
