Replace all the doors in the house. Be sure to doublecheck” 

Yes, of course 

Jude glanced toward the stairs, then turned his attention to Davina, who had already gotten off of him

She stood up, adjusted her clothes, and, without thinking, gave him a swift kick to the side

Jude didn’t react audibly. Instead, he looked at her with a pitiable expression, almost as though he was innocent

It was hard to tell if he was genuinely apologetic or just pretending

Davina frowned

He really knows how to act

Ten minutes later, Davina was seated in the living room

Jude, now dressed in fresh clothes, was sitting across from her

The atmosphere felt strangely tense

Jude rubbed his nose, subtly hiding the faint smirk playing at the corner of his mouth

Davina, on the other hand, wrestled with whether she should offer an explanation

But seeing Marlon’s detached expression, as though he couldn’t care less about the details, she chose to remain silent

What am I supposed to say? That I walked into the bathroom, found Jude taking a shower, and accidentally saw everything

She can’t say that

If I did, he might expect me to take responsibility

your symptoms first appeared,

Mr. Marlon, I’ve looked into your illness. There’s no record of it in modern medicine. When your sympt took some samples for further examination. Your condition…. 

She paused briefly

Marlon and Jude leaned forward, waiting for her to continue

Davina’s lips curled into a faint smile. It’s treatable.” 

At those words, Jude’s expression shifted, his eyes lighting up with hope

Marlon, too, seemed visibly relieved. Really? Can you really cure it?” 

Davina nodded. Yes, but I’ll need to perform needle therapy. The process may be uncomfortable, so you’ll need to endure it. And you must follow my instructions to the letter. If you don’t stick to the treatment plan, I’ll stop immediately

“Also, you need time to recover, so during your treatment, you’ll need to stay in Zlanta.” 

Marlon’s excitement was clear. Don’t worry. I’m retired, so I can stay here” 

Davina gave a quiet nod. After a brief pause, she added, You’re not the only person suffering from this, right?” 

Marlon and Jude exchanged a look

Marlon sighed softly and nodded. Tm one of the lucky ones. At least I’m still alive.” 

Davina smiled faintly, understanding without needing further explanation

The unlucky onesMarlon’s voice dropped, a trace of sadness in his eyes. They didn’t make it.”

Davina responded gently. It seems the illness can be transmitted under certain conditions, which suggests environmental factors are involved. But for now, I’ll focus on treating your condition.” 

She couldn’t worry about everythingshe wasn’t a saint, after all

What she could do was focus on healing her patients

The biggest mistake a doctor could make was becoming overly sympathetic, as it would trap them in moral uncertainty, unable to act with conviction 

Besides, she could sense this illness was connected to something deepera secret, perhaps

After all, Marlon was in the military; there might be a connection to the military that they weren’t willing to share with her

And honestly, she didn’t want to know

Jude’s gaze darkened, his eyes narrowing as he thought

Marlon also studied Davina more intently than before

Davina took out her medical tools from a small box she had brought with her and arranged them neatly on the table

Close the curtains. I can’t allow the procedure to be exposed to light.” 

The maid immediately rushed to pull the curtains shut

The room darkened, the oncebright hall now completely in shadow

But Jude’s sharp eyes could still catch every movement Davina made

He could read even the slightest change in her expression

By the time they left Scenic Hall, evening had already fallen

Originally, Davina had planned to drive herself home, but Jude insisted on taking her. He guided her straight into his car
