Awkwardly scratching her head , Marta laughed .
She had just realized that shed agreed without consulting Paisley .
Uh , I figured youd say yes because youre so compassionate .
Didnt you help Max last time when he collapsed ? Ohr Paisley raised an eyebrow .
Look who still remembers his name ? Decided hes not a bad guy after all ? I wasnt 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 cant hold on much longer .
Maria gres anxious as well .
She clearly remembered how severe the neighbors leg pain had been during the last episode .
Paisy .
Mom , if you dont 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 , dont 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 immense wealth .
After all Il , anyone who could afford a villa in this area , especially someone from Montera, had to be a person of considerable influence .
Maria wasnt exaggerating when she said the villa was filled with men .
Paisley counted around eight , all of whom were clearly trained professionals stationed strategically throughout the house , their expressions grim and their postures alert , ensuring the security of the villas 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 Paisleys 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 hadnt 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 Harrowfells 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 Paisleys help Paisley gave a faint smile as a form of greeting and walked inside without hesitation .
To her , the patients gender didnt 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 rooms atmosphere grew tense as Paisley worked .
Leo was barely breathing as he watched his boss intently .
Every time Paisley inserted a needle , Leos gaze ticked to his bosss reaction 1/2 3:57 PM Chapter 190 To his astonishment , his boss , who had been writhing in pain moments ago , began to calm down visibly within a short period .
Leo couldnt hide his amazement .
In Montera , his boss had tried acupuncture before .
While it had provided some relief , it was never this effective .
