Maria had barely agreed when she turned to find Paisley looking at her with a meaningful expression.

Awkwardly scratching her head, Marta laughed. She had just realized that she'd agreed without consulting Paisley. "Uh, I figured you'd say yes because you're so compassionate. Didn't you help Max last time when he collapsed?" Ohr Paisley raised an eyebrow. "Look who still remembers his name? Decided he's not a bad guy after all?"

I wasn't

long ago that Maria had been guarding against the men next door like they were a gang of criminals. Maria chuckled awkwardly, "Well, you know, with neighbors, you get to know them better over time." "Maria, is she coming! A frantic voice came through

the video intercom. It was Leo, looking visibly stressed. "My boss can't hold on much longer." Maria gres anxious as well. She clearly remembered how severe the neighbor's leg pain had been during the last episode. "Paisy." "Mom, if you don't go now, Max is going to be in agony!" said Serena.

Paisley sched. feeling speechless. She turned and started heading toward her study.

"Paisy!" Maria screamed

"Mom!" So did Serena.

"I need to grab my tools, don't I Paisley rolled her eyes as she explained, then disappeared into the study.

"Yes, yes, of course Maria smiled and quickly reassured Leo that Paisley would be over in no time.

When Paisley arrived at the neighboring villa, she saw Leo waiting anxiously at the gate. His face lit up as if he had seen a savior. "Thank you so nuch Please, this way"

Paisley nodded politely and followed him into the villa. The interior was tastefully designed in a minimalist yet vintage style, exuding understated luxury. Every seemingly insignificant decoration was worth a fortune, making it clear that the owner of this house possessed im After all, anyone who could afford a villa in this area, especially someone from Montera, had to be a person of considerable influence. Maria wasn't exaggerating when she said the villa was filled with men. Paisley counted around eight, all of whom were clearly trained prof the house, their expressions grim and their postures alert, ensuring the security of the villa's owner. Not wanting to pry further,

Paisley observed briefly before averting her gaze and following Leo up to the second-

floor bedroom in the center of the house.

As soon as the door opened, a strong medicinal scent assaulted Paisley's senses. With just a sniff, she could identify the ingredients. They were drugs meant to strengthen the body, but the dosage seemed overly potent. How frail must Max be to require such intense

remedies? Her gaze shifted to the man on the bed, who was curled up in pain

His forehead and neck veins bulged, his lips pressed into a tight line, and his bloodshot eyes betrayed the torment he was enduring. It was as if he were going through some excruciating ordeal.

Despite his agony, the man managed to force a weak smile when he saw Paisley. Tm sorry for troubling you.

He hadn't wanted Leo to bother the neighbor, especially since she was a single mother. It felt inappropriate for her to visit a place filled with men like his.

Usually, he would just endure the pain until the rain stopped, But Harrowfell's damp and chilly weather seemed to intensify the agony in his leg this time, making in unbearable. Unable to watch his boss suffer, Leo had gone against his wishes and sought Paisley's help

Paisley gave a faint smile

as a form of greeting and walked inside without hesitation. To her, the patient's gender didn't matter at all. Right now, the man on

the bed was nothing more than someone in need of medical assistance.

She sat on the edge of the bed, and without a word lifted his pant leg. Taking out her needles, Paisley carefully sterilized them and began treating him, replicating the technique she had used during the last episode. The room's atmosphere grew tense as Paisley worked. L

To his astonishment, his boss, who had been writhing in pain moments ago, began to calm down visibly within a short period. Leo couldn't hide his amazement. In Montera, his boss had tried acupuncture before. While it had provided some relief, it was never this effective.
