I was severely belittled in front of everyone. No one felt good about it.

Ken squeezed my hand as if he was worried that I would be upset or throw a tantrum.

However, I did not. I maintained good etiquette instead and slowly walked over to grandfather to examine him.

“Grandfather, your forehead is a little black, your temples are red, and your eyes are very tired. Do you often get headaches?”

“You… how did you know?” Grandpa looked at me in surprise.

In fact, he did have a lot of problems with his health.

I looked at the old man sincerely. “Grandpa, you are powerful. You must have seen many doctors, but this problem hasn’t been cured. Have you thought of another way to treat it?”

Ken did not say anything to prevent himself from interrupting, but his eyes did not leave me for even a moment.

My words moved his grandfather, and he began to think about my suggestion. “What was it? Did you know how to treat it?”

I nodded. “I could treat your headache.”

He did not seem to believe that I could treat his illness at such a young age. He thought I was lying.

I asked Ken for a set of acupuncture tools, and then I looked at a sick puppy in the corner.

I noticed the grandfather’s wary expression and knew that he would not let me perform acupuncture so easily.

“In order to make you believe that I do know acupuncture, I would first use this puppy as an experiment for you.”

In the past, I often went around to do care activities. During that time, I also treated small animals, so even when it came to animal acupuncture, I was able to do it with ease.

A few thin needles were inserted into the puppy’s body, but the puppy did not feel any pain. It stuck out its tongue and gently wagged its tail instead.

Ken stared at the side of my face with interest. “How did you know these things? As far as I knew, you were a real heiress. When did you learn them?”

I hesitated for a moment before looking at him pitifully. “I was in Maria’s Hospital for a long time and tried all kinds of treatment methods. In order to make my body feel better, I learned a lot too.”

Ken took a deep breath and patted my head. Some images must have appeared in his mind — I was reading on a hospital bed alone and studying pitifully.

Ten minutes later, the sick puppy in the corner was already jumping around when it stood up again.

The puppy ran to Grandpa’s leg and barked. It wagged its tail happily.

My grandfather was very happy to see his dog healthy again and finally agreed to let me try.

Someone else prepared a more advanced set of acupuncture tools, and I carefully observed each acupuncture point and inserted every needle.

Ken frowned slightly, and his eyes revealed worry.

His grandfather closed his eyes. He must have thought that the needles would hurt. However, with each needle, his nervousness eased, and he finally enjoyed it.

When the needles were all removed, he moved his limbs in surprise. “My head does not hurt anymore, and I feel like I am ten years younger. It’s amazing!”

As an old man, health was the most important thing to him, so my treatment hit the bullseye.

My display of oriental medicine changed grandfather’s opinion of me, and Ken was happy about it.

“What do you want in return?” He asked cheerfully.

I glanced at Ken. “I don’t want anything. I only want you to let me stay with Ken.”

I said it as if we really loved each other.

Ken was momentarily distracted and his heart was filled with hope. If all of this were true, it would not be too bad.

Seeing that the two of us hugged each other sweetly, grandfather did not insist on Ken marrying Catherine. He nodded. “If that is the case, then I…”

“No!” A dignified male voice suddenly interrupted.
