Chapter 26 They Are Too Close
Ryan dared not think further.
He was the one who brought the genius doctor over. Not to mention, she was the savior of the Quinnell family. He couldn’t watch her dig her own grave!
“Dr. Genius may not be an eloquent speaker. Haha…” Ryan looked toward Dalton with a pleading look. “Please don’t mind her.”
The taciturn Dalton faintly hummed a response.
Wynter raised her eyebrows, puzzled. “Mr. Lloyd, why are you nervous? Did I say something wrong?”
“Nothing’s wrong.” Dalton flashed a bewitching smile. “What you said is right.”
Wynter’s eyes lit up. “Good–looking people do talk sweetly.”
Then, she turned sideways to look at the doctors.
They just returned from getting their notebooks and phones without any idea of the drama.
Wynter asked, “Is everyone here?”
“Yes!” the doctors shouted in unison. They were seemingly back being interns.
Wynter suddenly raised her right hand and undid the first button of Dalton’s shirt.
With a frown, Dalton lifted his eyebrows slightly. She never mentioned undressing!
She smiled. Her right hand still held his shirt. They were so close that her breath nearly blew against his Adam’s apple.
“I’ll teach you an acupuncture point to relieve cough.” With that, Wynter put her fingertips on Dalton’s neck.
Her eyes were clear and professional. She did not have any ulterior motives on him.

“The effects of acupuncture depend on the needling technique and the combination of acupuncture points.”
Wynter’s slightly cool fingertips slid along Dalton’s neck and landed behind his ears.
“For example, there’s an acupuncture point here for heat dissipation. Today’s patient has

symptoms in the lungs with dampness and heat in the body. There is a technique in ‘ Acupuncture Collections‘ called Cooling Needling…”
As Wynter went deeper, the doctors became more focused. Nobody noticed the subtle strangeness in Dalton’s eyes.
Because Wynter’s fingers tapped on his body, Dalton felt the specific acupuncture points directly,
It was noteworthy that she didn’t give him a rash. It seemed there were people without germs,

Dalton’s eyes lay on Wynter’s stunning face, Whenever she leaned forward, the tips of her long hair would brush against his hands.
In her eyes were not him, only his acupuncture points. Her voice went up and down, and the main points of her explanation were as prominent as the force of her fingers.
The doctors were all fascinated. Even Victor was no longer concerned about Dalton’s identity.
