Eric meticulously adhered the cups one by one to Jasmine's back. Throughout the process, he remained silent.To Eric, Jasmine was just an ordinary patient. And if there was any relationship, it was that she had borrowed 10,000 dollars from him and Sylvia. Eric had never thought about having Jasmine pay back the money.The treatment was quickly coming to an end, and Eric was about to remove the cups when suddenly, a young man burst in.For some reason, he grabbed Eric's collar. "What are you doing?!"His hand hadn't reached Eric, and the latter dodged.With Eric's current agility, ordinary people couldn't even get close to him.Eric frowned, about to ask a question, but the man barked, "What have you done to my girlfriend? I've known for a long time that you holistic physicians are not decent!"Eric finally understood. This man, known as Earl Dudley, was Jasmine's boyfriend. Seeing Earl swinging his fists, Eric raised his hand and easily blocked his attack."Earl!" Jasmine quick

Upon hearing Sylvia's question, Eric raised an eyebrow. "Roasted chicken, stir-fried vegetables, pork chops, and chicken soup. Why are you asking this?" Sylvia's mouth watered. She licked her lips and said, "It sounds really delicious!"Eric was dumbfounded. "Isn't it just some home-cooked dishes? What's so delicious about them? What did you have for dinner?" "My dinner was relatively simple. I ate and drank air."Eric was rendered speechless and stood up. "Yesterday, the property management delivered some groceries. I'll cook a few dishes for you."Sylvia looked at Eric and smiled. "No need to trouble yourself. See if there is any mac 'n' cheese left. It would be perfect if you could also make two fried eggs."There was no mac 'n' cheese left, and Eric didn't like eating them anyway. After more than an hour, he cooked a meal for Sylvia.Sylvia felt satisfied after finishing her meal.As Eric cleaned up the table, he said, "Honey, don't go to the stadium tomorrow. Brook just

Eric remained busy until the evening before finally leaving the stadium after thoroughly disinfecting himself. Given the absence of many severe cases, he did not need to remain there.As he emerged from the stadium, a man in a suit approached him. "Hol. Johnson!"Eric turned to face him. "What's the matter?"Though unfamiliar with the man's name, Eric recognized him from the Combat Department's headquarters.The man offered a somewhat awkward smile. "Hol. Johnson, I'm truly sorry about today's events! We've taken swift and decisive action to address the situation. We've treated this location as a battleground, strictly prohibiting access to anyone!"Eric nodded thoughtfully. It appeared that today's occurrences had ruffled some feathers or perhaps, given Eric's status, necessitated intervention. His reputation as an exceptional holistic physician alone was enough to raise eyebrows.With holistic physicians being a rarity, they held a special status. Eric could easily become a pro

Early in the morning, just as the sky began to brighten, Eric set out to pick up his parents. Initially, he planned to go alone, but Sylvia insisted on accompanying him, providing welcome company for the journey.After procuring some medicinal herbs from Winston's clinic and purchasing additional medicines from the pharmacy, Eric and Sylvia embarked straight for Nutikiville."It's truly alarming," Sylvia remarked. "We visited numerous pharmacies just to obtain this small amount of medicine. The suppliers in Salt City and Dortmund City must be reaping huge profits!"Her unease was palpable.Medications that once cost 1 or 2 dollars were now commanding prices of 10 dollars! She lamented, "These individuals could have easily hoarded the medicine, yet they 'generously' provided me with a box of it!" The extensive bag of medicine came at a steep cost, totaling over 1,000 dollars for Eric and Sylvia. In the past, such medicines wouldn't have exceeded 100 dollars.Nonetheless, the sh

"Mom, who are those people around Aunt Delilah and Aunt Ruby? Why haven't we seen them before?" Sylvia's curiosity was piqued as she observed the unfamiliar faces.Melinda glanced over and replied, "I don't know them. I haven't seen them before. But I've been noticing them quite frequently these past two or three days. I'm not sure what they're up to. They just sit together and chat."Sylvia felt a sense of unease. The sudden appearance of strangers in the village was unusual. Typically, locals inhabited villages, who were familiar with most individuals from neighboring areas.But these strangers were an exception.Sylvia felt uneasy. The presence of unfamiliar faces in the village was noteworthy. Typically, villages were inhabited by locals who were familiar with one another and even knew most people from neighboring villages.But strangers? Yes, indeed.Previously, during Eric's funding of Nutikiville's construction, the construction team consisted of strangers. However, that
