When Felicia stepped into the clinic, one of the physicians came over to guide her toward a consultation room. Once there, he pointed inside with a meaningful gesture.
Felicia was confused by the situation. Then, she raised her eyes to look into the room and saw the thin, hunched figure of someone with their back turned. She couldn't see their face or any obvious injuries.
The physician explained, "This patient is rather peculiar. He only complains of headaches, but there's nothing unusual when we check his pulse. We've tried acupuncture and medicine, but nothing works. He's been here three or five times already! I'm worried he'll tarnish Union Clinic's reputation if he keeps this up!"
Lowering his voice, the physician added, "I suspect he's here to cause trouble because he has specifically requested you by name several times. I couldn't handle it, so I had to call you."
"I understand. You can go back to your work now." Felicia's tone was calm.
Ever since Union Clinic had gained fame, troublemakers and challenges had come in droves. Yet such petty tricks didn't faze her in the slightest.
After hearing what she said, the physician nodded and left.
Felicia walked into the consultation room, and the man by the window turned at her footsteps, revealing an entirely unfamiliar face. However, she keenly noticed his breath falter for just a moment when his gaze landed on her.
"You're experiencing headaches, right? Let's start by checking your pulse. Give me your hand." Felicia tapped the desk to signal him to place his hand on the wrist pillow. She needed to test the waters to see if he was here to cause trouble or not.
The man hesitated briefly before placing his hand on the pillow.
Felicia checked his pulse but didn't notice anything unusual. The only weird thing was his heartbeat was unusually fast.
With a faint, skeptical smile, she asked, "Are you nervous?"
The man averted his gaze without speaking, merely shaking his head.
