Chapter 1042
“How’s it?” Zuko released his lips after a long time. “Does the ‘magic pill’ cure everything?”
Lina blushed and buried herself in his embrace, avoiding eye contact.
However, amotion erupted at the door. Dave rushed in…
Lina’s expression changed, and she quickly pushed Zuko away.
“Mr. Door Guardian!” Dave appeared flustered. “I heard everything you said when I was out there!”
Zuko was taken aback. “What… did you hear?”
“You have a magic pill that cures everything!”
Zuko looked ufortable and remained silent.
“You managed to heal my dad, bro. I trust in your medical skills, and I believe there’s definitely such a
pill that exists in this world! Can it fix my foot?” asked Dave.

“No, no…” Zuko started sweating. “I—”
“Bro, I hurt my foot ying basketball yesterday. My ankle is still swollen. Let me try the pill!” insisted
Dave.
Zuko looked like he was on the verge of copse as he nced at Lina, who was struggling to hold
back herughter.
Suddenly, a voice called out “Zeke” from the alley while Dave was still bewildered.
Lina was stunned, and she locked eyes with Zuko. They both recognized the familiar voice.
As expected, a familiar face soon appeared…
“Ha, Mr. Zeke and Ms. Lina… You sure made me sweat looking for you!”
Fred appeared somewhat pale as he held onto the door. Even his smile seemed forced.
Zuko furrowed his brow and instinctively positioned himself in front of Lina. He asked in his deep voice,
“Why are you here?”
“Don’t worry. I’m not here to cause trouble.” Fred appeared tired.
At that moment, his assistant approached and respectfully exined, “Mr. Grist heard that Mr. Zeke is
knowledgeable about holistic healing. We’re here for an examination.”
“You heard?” Lina poked her head out. “Where did you hear it from?”
The assistant smiled. “Didn’t he treat all the elderly in the entire alley? Someone from the Grists lives
nearby, and we heard it through word of mouth.”

It didn’t sound like a lie, but it was suspicious. With Fred’s status, he could easily go to the hospital if he
was unwell. He had ess to the best medical resources, so why was he here?
“This might surprise you. The hospital couldn’t find anything wrong with me, but I’m really not feeling
well… Today, while I was working on a bidding n in the office, I suddenly felt dizzy and nearly
fainted. One of my subordinates rmended a ‘magic doctor’ in this alley. I only discovered it was
you when I arrived here!”
Zuko’s eyes darkened.
He med himself for being too conspicuous in healing Jesse so quickly. It made sense that Melissa
was spreading the word with pride.
However, Zuko discreetly observed Fred’splexion…
It was indeed below par.
His grandfather had taught him that healing was a doctor’s calling. Although Zuko wasn’t a doctor, he
had learned a great deal about medicine by shadowing his grandfather from a young age.
Since Fred was unwell, he decided to examine him.
Zuko faked a cough and gestured for Fred to sit at the table, asking him to present his wrist.
The pulse check didn’t take long, but each minute and second felt excruciatingly long to Fred.
Every time Zuko frowned, nced away, or cleared his throat, Fred imagined he had a terminal illness.
“Mr. Zeke…” Fred asked cautiously. “Am I okay?”
Zuko appeared rxed as he nced at Fred and spoke. “There’s something, but it’s minor. The
hospitals focus on Western medicine and rely heavily on machines. They often overlook small issues
like the one you have.”
Fred felt relieved upon hearing the phrase “small issues”. He asked, “Then what is it…”
“Specifically, your energy and blood levels are low. There’s a stagnation of energy in your liver, and you
have kidney deficiency!”
“Ahem…” Fred nearly covered his mouth in embarrassment.
Fred half-covered his face and signaled Zuko with an exaggerated expression. “Do you really have to
announce that I have kidney deficiency in front of everyone?”
