Zoey quickly got up and apologized to Russell, “I’m sorry, did I hurt you?”
Russell hadn’t had much time to think when his thoughts were interrupted. He looked at the people in front of him and calmed his mind.
“It’s nothing.”
Confirming that he didn’t recognize her, Zoey felt relieved and looked at Nelson with a dissatisfied tone, “How could this
gentleman be so careless?”
Nelson pointed at his throat, indicating to unblock his acupoints.
Zoey really wanted him to be mute for the rest of his life, so that his words wouldn’t disgust people.
She took the needle and pricked him a few more times. “Okay, you can make a sound now.”
Nelson tried to “ahh” a few times, “Why did it require so many needles to release the pressure points?”
Zoey chuckled inwardly, of course it was because she didn’t like you!
She explained, “The human acupoints are very complex, there is no need for so many whys, even if I explain, you won’t understand. However, this gentleman looks pale and tired, I’m afraid there may be some issues with his kidney function.”

Livia became anxious as soon as she heard it, “Doctor, can you help diagnose my son’s pulse?”
Zoey twirled her fingertips and said, “Well…”
“Ten million,” Livia gritted her teeth.
“Fine, for the sake of Mr. Maddox, I will see you.” Zoey looked at Nelson as he extended his wrist, and she pulled out a handkerchief from her bag to place on it.
Nelson frowned, “Why didn’t you use a handkerchief when taking my grandmother’s and Russell’s pulse just now. Why did you use one with me? Did you think I’m dirty?”
Zoey sighed lightly, “I would avoid people with impure personal. lives.”
Nelson: “…What nonsense are you talking about?”
Zoey withdrew her hand and said, “Am I talking nonsense? You know it very well.”
In her past life, she completely investigated Nelson’s life inside out. This scumbag had a casual and immoral private life, attending all sorts of parties and engaging in promiscuous behavior.
Livia apologized, “I’m sorry, doctor. Please take a look at my son.”
“Well, I’ll reluctantly take a look then.” Zoey’s fingertips landed on his wrist and she clicked her tongue. “This gentleman needs to take good care of his kidneys and not indulge in women anymore, otherwise his vitality will be drained, and the

consequences will be endless! The illness is divided into three stages, and you have already reached the second stage.”
Livia was scared, “What should we do?”
“Don’t worry, you’re sick, and I have the medicine!” Zoey took out a small red porcelain bottle from her bag. “Kidney–boosting pills, fifty thousand per pill, a total of forty pills, two hundred million. Plus the pulse diagnosis fee of ten million, the total is three hundred million.”
Nelson furrowed his brow and said, “Why do I feel like you’re lying?”
Zoey sighed lightly and put away the medicine bottle. “I’m not selling anymore. Remember, when you come begging to me again, it’ll cost you a billion!”
Livia wanted to say something, but she was stopped by Nelson. “Mom, I was perfectly healthy, don’t listen to her nonsense,” he said.
Zoey smiled and said, “Remember, ask me again and it’s a billion!”
Nelson snorted coldly, “Incompetent doctor!”
Russell’s face darkened, “Do you still want to be served by family rules?”
Nelson: ”
Russell looked at Zoey and said, “I will escort you out.”
Zoey nodded, “Okay.”

Leaving the old house, Russell whispered his thanks.
Zoey smiled faintly and said, “You’re welcome. They say that only the dead can keep a secret, but I hope Mr. Maddox can spare my life.”
Russell chuckled. and said, “I trust you.”
Zoey was getting ready to get in the car when Braylen and Aubrie ran up to her.
“Anything the matter with you two?” Zoey asked.

Braylen nodded and said, “My youngest daughter fell down the stairs three years ago and has been unconscious ever since. I would like you to take a look. You can set the consultation fee.”
Zoey glanced at Russell and realized that this stingy man was not going to pay any attention to her today.
Anyway, since she was available, let’s go and take a look.
“I had a car, you guys lead the way.”
Braylen nodded repeatedly, “Okay”
Zoey got in the car and Roland asked, “Zoey, you have really mastered the art of making money. I can hear the sound of coins dropping from a distance.”
Zoey glanced at him and said, “You’re so cheesy! Keep up with that car quickly!”
Russell watched as two cars drove out of the ornate gate before he looked away.

Just now, when Dr. Z sat on his lap, it reminded him of Zoey.
But how is this possible?
He himself first denied this idea.
Troy asked, “Mr. Russell, do we stay in the old house?”
Russell lightly hummed, “Wait until the old lady wakes up before returning to the company.”
Troy’s mouth twitched. These past few days, he was on a business trip, but Russell only rested for two to three hours each day, just to come back early and see his beloved wife.
God knows what happened, but just ten minutes after he had sent him back home, he turned back to pick him up again.
Why spend the perfectly good weekend stuck in the office instead of enjoying the company of a beautiful woman?
Russell glanced sideways and asked, “What are you thinking?”
“No…Nothing.”
Russell whispered, “What are you doing standing there like a stick? Are you admiring the view?”
Troy: “…” This is the live example of unfulfilled desires!

Zoey followed the Braylen couple back to the villa and saw Carolyn Maddox, who had been unconscious and unresponsive.
She looked pale, with no color on her lips, as if a gust of wind

could blow it away.

Aubrie sobbed, “Carolyn has been in a coma ever since she fell down the stairs three years ago. We have seen many
specialists, but they haven’t been able to figure out what happened.”
Zoey sat on the chair brought by the servant, her fingertips resting on her pulse, and immediately furrowed her brow.
She looked at the two of them and said, “I also couldn’t find any issues.”
Upon hearing this, Aubrie wiped away her tears and said, “Even the divine doctor couldn’t find anything. It seems like our -daughter will have to live like this for the rest of her life.”
Braylen’s face was also filled with disappointment, “Thank you for your trouble, Doctor. Name your price for the consultation fee.”
Zoey smiled and said, “You can just see me off at the car.”
Both of them were stunned, feeling that there was more to the words than met the eye.
After leaving the villa, Zoey whispered to the two of them, “The reason why your daughter is unconscious is because her central nervous system is not active. I suspect that she has been taking nerve suppressant drugs since her brain injury.”
Braylen frowned, “How is that possible? The test results didn’t show anything?”
Zoey said, “Lab results could be falsified. Your house has been

installed with surveillance devices, especially in your daughter’s bedroom. Who have you offended?”
Braylen and Aubrie were sweating profusely, not realizing that their every move was being watched by others.
Zoey walked up to the car door and said, “I will deliver the medicine to Mr. Maddox. You can come and pick it up, but keep it quiet. Take the child and leave this place.”
Aubrie felt hopeful and exclaimed, “Doctor, how much is the diagnosis fee and medication cost? We will pay you.”
Zoey got into the car and said, “For the sake of Mr. Maddox, let’s forget about these, goodbye.”
The car drove out of the villa area, and Roland clicked his tongue, “My homie is really kind–hearted!”
Zoey pursed her lips and said, “The situation in the Maddox family was complicated, so it wouldn’t hurt to help Russell gain an ally.”
Roland’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, “Are you paving the way for your husband?”
“What else?” Zoey scoffed lightly. “You incel wouldn’t understand the good intentions behind my efforts!”
Roland: “…
Braylen and Aubrie, who were still standing in the same place, felt a mixture of emotions at that moment, considering that there was a mole in their home.
Aubrie asked, “Where do we have to send Carolyn?”

After a moment of contemplation, Braylen said, “Let’s send it to Serene Manor. That’s where Russell is, and it’s the safest place.”
Aubrie furrowed her eyebrows and said, “Isn’t doing this just declaring to the outside world that we are siding with Russell?”
“Everyone has to pick a side. Right now, Russell has control over the family, and it’s unlikely Denzel can stir up much trouble. Besides, without Russell’s doctor, Carolyn’s life will be over.”
Aubrie nodded, “Okay! Let’s discuss this with Abigail, shall we? She will be back tomorrow.”
Braylen said, “No need to discuss, I will just go over with Russell and bring Carolyn along.”
Russell gladly agreed after receiving a call from Braylen.
At this moment, Marlene also woke up and returned to normal.
Russell instructed Troy, “Go back to Serene Manor.”
Troy smiled and said, “You are missing Mrs. Maddox, aren’t you?”
Russell said quietly, “Carolyn is moving into Serene Manor. I need to be there. What does it have to do with Zoey.”
Troy tugged at the corner of his mouth, this man is so stubborn, clearly just trying to find an excuse to go back and see Mrs. Maddox.
Russell returned to Serene Manor and patiently waited for that figure, but he waited until ten o’clock and still didn’t see anyone appear.
