"Truly, this acupuncture feels like magic," another chimed in.
Henrik's eyes gleamed with approval, his admiration for Khloe's expertise growing by the second. Even Eric, despite himself, let out a breath of relief.

Thirty minutes later, Khloe withdrew the needle, leaving Morris fully recovered. His once erratic pulse now beat steadily, a testament to her skill.
Watching the long needle slide out of his chest, Morris chuckled, a sly grin spreading across his face. "Who knew Khloe had such talent? If I overdo it with drinks next time, I'll just call her for acupuncture." Henrik's voice was sharp and unsympathetic. "Khloe, make sure to prescribe him the most bitter medicine for that." Morris' smile faltered instantly. "Henrik, don't be so cruel. I was only kidding," he protested weakly.
That rascal Henrik! No respect for his old man—so heartless, throwing him under the bus like that.
Khloe's laugh broke the tension, though her gaze carried a stern edge. "Morris, your body can't take this kind of stress anymore. No more drinking. This acupuncture was a temporary fix, not a free pass. If you indulge again, I promise the medicine will be so bitter you'll regret it." The sharp warning in her eyes sent an unmistakable chill down Morris' spine.
His future daughter-in-law was undeniably talented and lovely, but her no-nonsense attitude was something entirely different. Morris sighed in resignation. "Fine, fine, I get it. I'll be more careful from now on." Hurst chimed in enthusiastically, "Don't worry. I'll make sure he stays in line."

Did they think Henrik was so cold and cursed with solitude that this was their only hope for him? Khloe chose not to voice her thoughts, knowing Morris would jump at the chance to launch into a drawn-out monologue about Henrik's frosty demeanor.
Henrik could tell what was on Khloe's mind, and he felt rather helpless.

Morris instructed Hurst to retrieve it. Moments later, the porcelain bottle was brought to him, and he tipped a black pill into his palm.
As he raised the pill to his mouth, something on its surface caught his eye. His jaw dropped as he shot to his feet. "The Longevity Pill! This is an incredibly rare and priceless medicine-each pill is worth a billion!" The revelation stunned everyone, leaving the room in a collective gasp of disbelief.
Shock spread across the room as everyone's eyes grew wide with m disbelief. The black <pillin Morris' hand seemed to shimmer with an eerie glow, heightening the tension in the air.
"The Longevity Pill! It's the legendary medicine said to miraculously heal the gravely ill!" Hurst gasped, kism voice shaking, "They say this pill can pull someone back from the brink of death and restore their vitality. Who could have ever imagined that Miss Evans held such a priceless treasure?"
Khloe, however, couldn't help but downplay the pill's true power. It wasn't quite the mirade it was made out to be. All it could do was give a dying heart patient a few more days or offer a cancer sufferer a few more months of painless life. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
