Chapter 25
No way…
Director Luke’s eyes widened.
Could she really be choosing Carl as her live subject?
How could she dare? Is she throwing her life away at such a young age?
Director Luke moved slightly, trying to make himself more noticeable, “Well, how about you choose someone else…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Amelia had already stepped forward, walking right up to the man.
It was only then that Director Luke realized that the young girl was actually taller than him!
Amelia, with her slim waist and long legs, stood at 173 cm, her enchanting eyes framed by a cold, refined beauty. Standing next to the 188 cm tall Carl, the atmosphere between them felt strangely ambiguous.
The contrast between their auras was stark–one cool and distant, the other fiery and intense–like a Buddhist monk

Carl, dressed in pristine clothes, stood perfectly still. As Amelia approached, a chill appeared in his eyes, like the twilight’s cool breeze.
Amelia halted a polite distance away and removed her medical mask, revealing a breathtaking face–delicate, with a touch of lazy elegance. Her lips were naturally red, and a tear mole rested near the corner of her eye. She smiled lightly, her voice soft yet clear, “You must be the family member?”
Manager Monroe was about to correct her, “Little miracle doctor, you’ve got it wrong-”
But Carl, with a slight cough, interrupted him, his voice cold and mellow, accompanied by the faint scent of herbs. “Sort of.”
Sort of? Not yes, not no–what kind of answer was that?
Amelia raised an eyebrow, unfazed. She continued, “Doesn’t matter. You’re fine. You can stand in for the family member. After all, no one else has signed yet.”
“Little miracle doctor, actually…” Manager Monroe started to speak again, but was immediately cut off by Carl’s crisp “Okay,” causing him to fall silent.
Even the bodyguards from the Jenkins family, who had just

The boss actually agreed? He’s letting a woman touch him?
Anyone who knew Carl was aware of his severe cleanliness obsession. Since he was a child, even his grandfather had to wash his hands before touching him.
Why was he acting so strange today? Was he under some kind of spell?
Everyone’s expressions were varied, except for Carl. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his figure, dressed in black from head to toe, leaned slightly toward Amelia, closing the distance between them. “How should I cooperate?”
“Just stand still,” Amelia replied with a faint smile, lifting her gaze to meet his. “Don’t worry, it won’t hurt.”
Carl continued to cough. His voice, although cold, lacked strength, and his pale face showed no sign of emotion. His scent–a mixture of sandalwood from his prayer beads and the lingering fragrance of medicine–mingled in the air, filling Amelia’s senses as she breathed in.
“Little miracle doctor, you’re joking,” Carl said in a smooth, measured tone.

Seeing the flush on his face from the cough, Amelia felt a strange sense of sympathy. She gently placed her left hand on his wrist, and with her right hand, she unwrapped a candy. “Open your mouth.”
Carl raised an eyebrow in confusion but complied, his aloof demeanor unchanged.
To his surprise, the moment the candy touched his tongue, the cool mint flavor mixed with an unknown sweetness, soothing the persistent itch in his throat.
Carl’s dark, handsome eyes blinked in disbelief. “You…”
“Herbal candy,” Amelia replied casually, a smile still on her lips. “You looked so pitiful and behaved so well, I’m giving you one for free.”
Manager Monroe, standing nearby, broke into a cold sweat. *Wait, little miracle doctor, please stop talking! Do you know who he is? He’s the boss of the entire Four Nine City!*
Did she just say “pitiful” and “behaved so well” about him? To his face?
Director Luke felt a bit suffocated. Maybe he was the one who should be getting a herbal candy!
The bodyguard, James Jenkins, was frozen with a look that was almost impossible to describe.

Carl, however, continued spinning the blood–red prayer beads with his fingers, his gaze calm as he pressed the candy to his tongue. His pale, handsome face betrayed no emotion.
Perhaps he was contemplating where to bury the “little miracle doctor’s” body later?
