Elder Chen's resonant voice came from the microphone: "Nancy, there's a patient at the clinic. I have something to do and can't leave. Please come over."

"OK, wait."

Nancy went out and took a taxi, arriving at the clinic half an hour later.

As soon as I stepped into the clinic, a familiar figure came into view.

Nancy paused, frowned slightly, and immediately wanted to turn around and leave.

She didn't want to see the person in front of her at all.

When Mr. Chen saw her coming, he quickly put down the herbs in his hand and walked towards her: "Nancy, you are here."

He seemed oblivious to Nancy's abnormality and said to her, "This gentleman developed a headache six years ago due to excessive worry over his beloved wife's disappearance. He suffers from it every month, and the headaches are extremely painful. He needs acupuncture and herbal baths to treat it."

Nancy sighed silently in her heart. There was no doubt that Mr. Chen was serious about treating his patients. She had already agreed to be his assistant, so it would not be a good idea to just quit for no reason.

Directly ignoring what Elder Chen said, she asked calmly, "Elder Chen, what do you need me to do now?"

The man was wearing a black suit and had a cool and noble temperament. Just standing there was enough to attract people's attention, but Nancy didn't even give him a second glance from beginning to end.

Mr. Chen gently asked Nancy to go into the bath room and fill the water, and also told her the precautions.

Nancy nodded, turned around and went straight to the bathing room.

Watching her leave, Old Chen sighed and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Shi, since you came here specifically for her, why didn't you say hello to her?"

Shi Lin withdrew his affectionate gaze from Nancy, and his expression returned to his usual cold expression.

Thinking of the scene where Nancy avoided him just now, Shi Lin felt as if someone had pinched his heart hard, and it hurt a lot.

He said in a cold voice: "No rush."

"I really don't understand what you young people are thinking. Come with me, I'll give you acupuncture first."

On the other side, Nancy poured the medicine into the bathtub as requested by Mr. Chen, adjusted the water temperature, and walked straight out.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Shi Lin who had just finished acupuncture and changed his clothes.

Nancy walked straight past him and out without looking away.

"Xiao Xi."

Shi Lin reached out to grab her and say something to her, but Nancy suddenly took a few steps back to avoid Shi Lin's touch as if she had touched something dirty.

"Mr. Shi, please respect yourself."

Shi Lin's beautiful eyes were tinged with pain: "Xiao Xi, does it have to be like this between you and me?"

Nancy felt a surge of irritation in her heart, and a hint of coldness appeared on her gentle and beautiful face.

"Mr. Shi, the medicinal bath is ready. If you don't get in now, the water will get cold."

After saying this in a cold voice, Nancy ignored Shi Lin's entanglement.

Old Chen said that someone needed to watch over the medicinal bath, so she walked into the yard and waited for Shi Lin to finish his bath.

A pleasant ringtone rang out. Nancy took out her cell phone and her eyes softened instantly when she saw the caller ID.

"Hey, husband."

"Nancy, I saw you rushing out of the house on the surveillance camera. Did something happen?"

Ever since Nancy was kidnapped last time, Zhou Jinfan has been paying special attention to Nancy's movements, fearing that something might happen to Nancy again if he is not paying attention.

Nancy glanced at the medicinal bath room, her eyelashes trembling, and then she explained, "Old Chen called me and said that a lot of patients came to the clinic and asked me to help. I'm currently helping Old Chen get herbs at the clinic."

Jin Fan is still brooding over the kidnapping incident and wants to find the murderer who took her away. She doesn't want Jin Fan to have too much contact with Shi Lin.

She didn't want her hard-earned peaceful life to be disturbed by anyone.

Zhou Jinfan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. "That's good. I'll pick you up when I'm done."

"No, I probably won't be back for lunch at noon. Your company isn't on the way here, so you should take a good rest since you're busy at work. I'll text you when I'm done and it'll be quick to take a taxi back."

Nancy didn't know when Shi Lin left. If Zhou Jinfan came and happened to run into Shi Lin, Zhou Jinfan would probably misunderstand.

Hearing this, Zhou Jinfan didn't insist any further: "Okay, then send me a message when you get back."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Nancy stared at the off screen of her phone, feeling a little absent-minded.

"Nancy."

Mr. Chen's deep and kind voice sounded, and Nancy came back to her senses and looked at Mr. Chen.

"Go inside and check on the gentleman. He has a serious headache. If you find anything wrong, come out and call me."

Nancy hesitated; she didn't want to go in.

Elder Chen held a few prescriptions in his hand and said gently, "Nancy, don't overthink it. Since you are my assistant, you are also half a doctor. In the eyes of doctors, there is no distinction between genders."

"I still have a few prescriptions to fill, so go quickly."

Nancy pursed her lips, looked at Mr. Chen, who had no abnormal expression at all, and finally nodded.

She walked into the medicinal bath room, but did not go directly to the inner room. Instead, she asked softly through the screen: "Mr. Shi, are you feeling okay?"

After waiting for a while without any response, Nancy frowned slightly: "Mr. Shi?"

Still no one answered, Nancy's heart skipped a beat. Could something have really happened?

She didn't care whether Shi Lin lived or died, but she was now Mr. Chen's assistant. If something happened to Shi Lin here, it would be her dereliction of duty.

Nancy walked around the screen and headed inside. The next second, her eight-pack abs with distinct textures and firm muscles came into view.

Shi Lin was standing in front of the bathtub at this moment, with a bath towel wrapped around his lower body and drops of water hanging on his upper body, slowly sliding down his chest to his abdominal muscles.

Shi Lin has been exercising all year round and has a strong body. The outline of his abdominal muscles seems to be carved by an artist with a chisel, and every line is just right and full of beauty.

He wiped the water stains on his body with a towel in one hand, his soft black hair draped over his forehead, and he tilted his head slightly, revealing his angular and impeccable handsome face at the most perfect angle.

Seeing Nancy come in, his low voice was a little hoarse, as if it had been polished with sandpaper and was full of grain.

"Sorry, did you just call me? I seem to have some ringing in my ears and thought I was hallucinating."

As Shi Lin spoke, his eyes were fixed on Nancy, trying to see a hint of shyness or surprise on her face.

But the next second, he was disappointed.

Nancy's pretty face was calm and peaceful, without a single ripple caused by the exciting picture of the handsome man emerging from the bath.

She looked at him as if she were looking at a piece of wood, extremely cold.

Following Elder Chen's instructions, she began to inquire about Shi Lin's condition: "Besides the tinnitus, is there anything else going on?"

Hearing this, a hint of hope instantly appeared on Shi Lin's usually cold and handsome face.

"Xiao Xi, are you concerned about me?"
