Maria had barely agreed when she turned to find Paisley looking at her with a meaningful expression.
Awkwardly scratching her head, Marta laughed. She had just realized that she'd agreed without consulting
Paisley. "Uh, | figured you'd say yes because you're so compassionate. Didn't you help Max last twhen he

as well. She clearly remembered how severe the neighbor's leg pain had been during the last episode. "Paisy."
"Mom, if you don't go now, Max is going to be in agony!" said Serena.

"Paisy!" Maria screamed
"Mom!" So did Serena.
"I need to grab my tools, don't | Paisley rolled her eyes as she explained, then disappeared into the study.
"Yes, yes, of course Maria smiled and quickly reassured Leo that Paisley would be over in no time.
When Paisley arrived at the neighboring villa, she saw Leo waiting anxiously at the gate. His face lit up as if he
had seen a savior. "Thank you so nuch Please, this way"
Paisley nodded politely and followed him into the villa. The interior was tastefully designed in a minimalist yet
vintage style, exuding understated luxury. Every seemingly insignificant decoration was worth a fortune, making
it clear that the owner of this house possessed im After all, anyone who could afford a villa in this area,
especially someone from Montera, had to be a person of considerable influence. Maria wasn't exaggerating when

Despite his agony, the man managed to force a weak smile when he saw Paisley. Tm sorry for troubling you.
He hadn't wanted Leo to bother the neighbor, especially since she was a single mother. It felt inappropriate for
her to visit a place filled with men like his.
Usually, he would just endure the pain until the rain stopped, But Harrowfell's damp and chilly weather seemed
to intensify the agony in his leg this time, making in unbearable. Unable to watch his boss suffer, Leo had gone
against his wishes and sought Paisley's help
Paisley gave a faint smile
as a form of greeting and walked inside without hesitation. To her, the patient's gender didn't matter at all. Right

the bed was nothing more than someone in need of medical assistance.
She sat on the edge of the bed, and without a word lifted his pant leg. Taking out her needles, Paisley carefully
sterilized them and began treating him, replicating the technique she had used during the last episode. The
room's atmosphere grew tense as Paisley worked. L
