Chapter 108 An Unexpected Visitor
Yunice thought this was perfect. She did not want to get too entangled with him anyway.
She suggested using the Alphasirox pills as a remedy, and Wyatt handed her 41,000 dollars on the spot.
Madam Johnson’s consultation fee was 140,000 dollars.
And now, with the advance payment for the improved formula, Yunice had a total of 222,000 dollars in her hands.

Over the next two days, Kingsley helped her contact a traditional medicine shop that was looking to sell its entire operation.
The location was a bit remote. It was near the northern part of the city.
Yunice went to inspect the shop. The interior was decorated in classic redwood style, traditional and understated. The herbs stocked were not low–grade either.
Most importantly, the price was very reasonable. The entire shop would cost her 95,000 dollars. It was just within her budget.
Without hesitation, Yunice used her new ID to sign the contract. But she also contacted a renovation team to make or special addition. A folding screen in the center of the shop that was tall enough to shield her face and upper body.
In the middle of the screen was a fan–shaped opening, just wide enough to extend a hand through.
The shop was ready. Now all she needed was customers.

Luckily, she had plenty of time. The Saunders family did not care to bother with her, and the Powell family did not have
time to spare.
So Yunice stayed in the shop every day, studying quietly while waiting for customers to trickle in.
The shop’s location was not great; business was slow. That was exactly why the previous owner was willing to sell.
In three days, only two or three nearby residents had dropped by. All with minor ailments like headaches or colds.
But Yunice was not the least bit anxious. Gill helped her mind theshop, growing so bored she dozed off with her head propped on the counter.
Just then, the sound of a car door closing rang out from outside. The engine cut off.
Startled awake, Cill perked up immediately. f customer!
She hastily hooked her mask over her ears and rushed to the door. But the moment she caught sight of the people outside, she froze and instinctively retreated several steps.
From behind the folding screen, Yunice watched curiously through the carved patterns in the wood.
Gill pointed outside, panic written all over her face, trying to mouth words to Yunice, but the more anxious she became, the more her tongue twisted. In the end, not a single useful word came out.
By then, the people outside had already entered.
Call quickly turned her back, raising a hand to shield her face, as though terrified of being recognized.
And Yunice, peering through the screen, finally saw who it was. It was Paul.
No wonder Gill was so shocked
To avoid trouble, Yunice had always treated patients without showing her face. That was the whole point of the folding

Standing beside him was an elegant, well–dressed middle–aged woman and a beautiful young girl with a pained expression.
The girl was dressed in luxury, clutching her wrist, her face pale from pain.
But the pain was too much to bear. She sat down on a stool, gritting her teeth. “No, it hurts too much… I can’t wait any longer…
Paul had no choice. His face darkened as he addressed Gill’s back: “Can you treat a sprain!”
Gill glanced nervously at Yunice, unsure whether to send them away.
Yunice gave her a small nod.
Immediately, Gill replied, “Yes, we can treat that
Paul cast her an odd look. He had never seen such a skittish shop assistant before.
Just then, his phone rang. Glancing at the screen, he said to the girl, Tll take this call outside. You go ahead and get treated.
Then, Paul left the shop.
The elegant woman complained under her breath, “Honestly… what kind of call could be so urgent? He doesn’t care about you at all”
But the girl was too busy enduring the pain to respond.
Gill quickly led her to the folding screen.
Yunice’s calm voice floated out from behind it. “Place your hand on the table.”
As soon as the words fell, a pair of hands emerged from the fan–shaped opening.
They were slender, delicate hands. Her wrists were so thin they seemed fragile, as though they might break with a touch. Strangely enough, the hands were covered in pristine white lace gloves, hiding every inch of skin, even up to the forearms.
The elegant woman frowned. This place was getting stranger by the second. Doctor and assistant alike are acting so bizarre..
But before she could speak, Yunice’s fingers had already grasped the girl’s arm. With a deft twist, the joint popped back into place.
The girl blinked. The pain was gone!

She flexed her wrist, her face lighting up with relief. “Mom, I’m fine now.”
Yunice’s cool voice came through the screen. “You’ve had a recurring dislocation, haven’t you?”
The girl replied, “I dislocated it once as a kid… after that, it’s happened often.”
Yunice said, “If you don’t mind the trouble, I can prepare some medicinal patches for you. They’ll help prevent future dislocations.
The girl glanced outside at Paul, who was still on his call. Figuring there was no rush to leave, she answered casually, “Sure, go ahead”
