But he raised his hand and didn’t reach out.Â
In the end, he slowly let it drop.Â
His voice sounded heavier than before.Â
“They’ve already seen what I can do.”Â
Alice blinked and looked up at him.Â
:Â
Eric always wore a poker face–almost never showing much expression.Â
She had no idea how to fix that kind of blank look.Â
Without seeing even a flicker of emotion, she could never tell what he was thinking.Â
He spoke briefly, like he didn’t want to say more.Â
If he stayed quiet, she wouldn’t push him.Â
Just then, Daniel came over.Â
“Mr. Eric, Mrs. Nolan, the event is starting up front. The auction will begin soon.”Â
Eric nodded.Â
He hadn’t forgotten that Alice had mentioned wanting a painting.Â
“Let’s go.” He spoke, and his hand moved as if by habit to guide her.Â
But Alice surprised him. She lifted her arm and looped it through his arm instead.Â
Daniel’s eyes widened.Â
Wow! Not gonna lie, Mrs. Nolan’s got style.Â
Big win for her!Â
Come on, Mr. Eric, you can do this!Â
Eric looked a little surprised.Â

His gaze landed on her hand looped through his arm.Â
Her fingers were pale, with neatly rounded nails.Â
They looked light, almost weightless, and yet somehow heavier than a mountain.Â
For a moment, his mind went blank.Â
Even his breathing got faster.Â
“Are we going or not?” Alice asked, tugging his arm.Â
But Eric didn’t move.Â
She looked up, a little annoyed.Â
That’s when she noticed Eric’s ears were slightly red, like they’d been sunburned.Â
No way.Â
Is Mr. Eric… shy?Â
She coughed a few times. Wow, he’s that innocent?Â

They had already shared a bed before, so a little touch like this shouldn’t be a big deal.Â
Besides, she wasn’t doing this for fun–this was proper etiquette for accompanying someone at a business event.Â
Her coughs brought Eric back to reality.Â
He realized she was holding back laughter.Â
He frowned. “What’s so funny?”Â
Alice didn’t hide it. She laughed.Â
“I think you’ve been acting strange lately.”Â
Eric was puzzled.Â
Daniel was cracking up on the side but wisely stayed silent.Â
Let Mr. Eric sweat a little.Â

:Â
“You mean strange in my health, or something else?”Â
Alice stepped forward, keeping her arm linked with his.Â

“Mr. Eric, you’re my patient. I only talk about facts with you. I only talk about your health.”Â
As soon as she said it, a flicker of disappointment appeared in Eric’s eyes.Â
He seemed a little lonely.Â
But quickly, he went back to his usual cold, detached self.Â
His voice became light. “Mm.”Â
Alice froze for a moment, then instinctively looked up at him.Â
Even though Eric’s face was still unreadable, for some reason, she felt like he looked a littleÂ
weary.Â
Maybe she was wrong.Â
This was Eric, the powerful, untouchable man.Â
Curious, she let her hand slide to his wrist.Â
His heartbeat was fine, but his liver and spleen felt tense, like some stress had built up.Â
As they say, worry hurts the spleen, and stress hurts the liver.Â
He handled too much every day. To really get better, he needed a detox and needle therapy.Â
She also needed to start giving him herbal medicine soon.Â
Before, she hadn’t used any medicine because Eric’s body was too weak to handle it.Â
It would have done more harm than good.Â
But after this period of careful care, Eric was much better now.Â
Soon, he would be able to take medicine.Â
She studied his pulse in her mind for a moment, and in an instant, she had already figured out the prescription.Â
This exhibition wasn’t just about paintings–there were other items too.Â

Some antiques, and even some herbs.Â
She’d check the herbs later. If they were good, she’d take them home.Â
Not wanting to waste time, she looped her arm through his again.Â
“Let’s go.”Â
She did it smoothly, like it was natural, and without hesitation.Â
Eric’sÂ
gaze darkened a little.Â
His expression grew a little heavier, though even he wasn’t sure why.Â

At the exhibition, a few of the pieces for auction had already been displayed.Â
Famous artwork couldn’t be sold right away.Â
It had to be verified as real first.Â
Since this auction was for famous artists‘ works, bidders had to check the paintings themselves.Â
These collectors had reached a level where they didn’t trust certificates–they only trusted their own eyes.Â
So there was an unspoken rule: before the auction started, the pieces had to be displayed for everyone to examine.Â
“Hmm, why isn’t Aurelia’s painting here?”Â
The auctioneer saw that the question came from Gracie Lawrence, a collector.Â
The auctioneer turned and walked over, smiling. “Ms. Lawrence, you may not know–we only have one Aurelia’s painting this time, and it was donated by a guest who just arrived today.”Â
