At Sophia’s arrangement, a temporary clinic was set up in the company’s meeting room. Leo guided the woman to sit down in a chair and said, “Extend your right hand; I need to check your pulse.”
The woman, still somewhat doubtful, extended her right hand.
Leo lightly placed two fingers on her pulse and began to examine it. In less than a minute, Leo withdrew his hand.
“How is it?” The woman, with growing anticipation and some nervousness, asked.
Leo already knew the woman’s condition well and replied calmly, “Minor issue, can be resolved with a prescription.”
After saying this, Leo grabbed some paper and a pen, quickly wrote out a prescription, and handed it to Lydia, instructing, “Lydia, please take this prescription to the nearest traditional Chinese medicine clinic to get the medicine. Then, ask them to grind it into powder.”
Lydia took the prescription, nodded, and hurriedly left the company.
Seeing Leo’s composed examination, the people’s doubts diminished significantly. They stopped clamoring and instead waited for the woman’s return with the medicine.
They were curious to see how this supposed wastrel son-in-law could restore the woman’s face.
About twenty minutes later, Lydia returned with a bag of powdered Chinese medicine.
Leo had someone get a small container and poured all the powdered medicine into it. After adding warm water, he stirred it with one finger while secretly channeling a bit of his spiritual power into the mixture.
“Sophia, do you have any face masks here?” Leo asked Sophia.
Sophia nodded and fetched a pack of face masks from a nearby shelf, handing it to Leo.
Leo immersed one of the masks entirely in the liquid concoction. After a minute, he retrieved the mask and handed it to the woman, instructing her, “Apply this mask on your face.”
The woman hesitated and asked with suspicion, “What kind of medicine did you put in the container? Will it harm my skin?”
“If you want your face to recover, put it on quickly!” Leo didn’t want to waste any more words and spoke with an authoritative tone.
The woman, knowing how important her face was to her, took the mask with some anxiety and carefully applied it to her face.
Three minutes later, Leo signaled for her to remove the mask.
The expressions on everyone’s faces changed from shock to amazement as they focused on the woman’s face. When the woman removed the mask completely, all that remained on their faces was sheer astonishment.
The acne that had plagued her due to allergies had completely disappeared. Not only that, her skin looked as smooth and delicate as a newborn’s. Even the phrase “as fragile as a puff of air” didn’t do it justice.
Noticing the expressions of the people staring at her, the woman hurriedly exclaimed, “Mirror, give me a mirror!”
Lydia quickly handed her a mirror.
Seeing her face in the mirror, the woman couldn’t help but let out an excited cry, “My face!”
She examined her face carefully for quite some time before putting down the mirror and standing up to express her gratitude to Leo, “You’re a miraculous doctor! Thank you, thank you so much!”
The others finally snapped out of their amazement.
“Did I see that correctly? This son-in-law who came knocking on the door actually cured the woman’s allergies!”
“You’re not mistaken. Not only did the acne on her face disappear, but her skin also became even more fair and delicate.”
“It’s truly amazing. How could a freeloading son-in-law possess such miraculous medical skills? Could that woman have been a plant?”
The crowd started to stir once again, with many of them finding it hard to believe that Leo could possess such medical skills, let alone miraculous ones.
After expressing her gratitude to Leo, the woman left, feeling content.
“Miss, how could your face heal so quickly? Are you sure this isn’t a setup?” a man blocked her path, questioning her.
“You and your family are the ones setting things up! Believe it or not, move aside!” The woman was bold and shouted back.
Once the woman had left, everyone’s attention shifted back to Leo. They now looked at him as if he were an alien due to the change in his expression.
The widely known useless son- in-law from the Henley family actually had medical skills!
Everyone felt like their worldviews were on the verge of being overturned. They found it hard to believe, but the transformation on that woman’s face moments ago forced them to accept the truth.
Another woman asked hesitantly, “Can you cure the allergy symptoms on my face?”
Leo glanced at her and smiled, saying, “I can cure the allergy symptoms on all of your faces and make your skin as fair and delicate as the woman from earlier. I won’t charge any consultation fees, and you can return the cosmetics you’ve purchased, and we’ll compensate you at the original price.”
Sometimes, a crisis might not necessarily be a bad thing. Handled properly, a crisis could turn into an opportunity, just like the situation Sophia Cosmetics was facing now. It was essentially free advertising, allowing more people to know and understand the company.
Leo’s promise completely stabilized everyone’s emotions. Standing on the sidelines, Sophia observed how Leo calmly handled the crisis and admired his composure and demeanor. Her feelings for him deepened.
“Leo, thank you!” Sophia approached Leo with a warm smile.
Leo returned the smile and softly replied, “Between husband and wife, there’s no need for thanks. As long as I’m here, I won’t let any harm come to you.”
Following this, Leo used the same method to cure the allergy symptoms on the faces of the others. Many of them, seeing their skin become fairer and more delicate, didn’t even request refunds for their purchased cosmetics.
Over an hour later, the people who had come to cause trouble one by one left peacefully. Outside Sophia Cosmetics, things finally quieted down.
After tidying up the temporary clinic, Sophia looked at Leo and asked, “What should we do next?”
Sophia was undoubtedly a strong woman in her professional life, but after today’s incident, she found herself increasingly reliant on Leo.
Leo thought for a moment and said, “You stay at the company. If anyone else shows allergy symptoms, don’t engage in conflict with them. Call me immediately. Right now, I need to go investigate this incident.”
Sophia nodded and replied, “I’ll follow your lead. Please take care of yourself, and if things get too tough, don’t push yourself too hard, okay?”
“Don’t worry. I know my limits. I’ll pick you up from work at precisely 5:30.”
