Chapter 195
Jason nodded at her
He said, “I went looking for him, and I did find him.
“But he said we just didn’t click, so he wouldn’t treat me
After the accident left him unable to walk properly, someone told him about this legendary doctor who was supposed to be a miracle worker.
They said the guy could get people with old, broken legs back on their feet, so Jason thought maybe there was hope for him
too.
Jason finally managed to get someone to put in a good word for him.
But as soon as the doctor heard it was Jason, he didn’t even bother to come see him-just turned him down flat.
“I honestly have no idea what I did to get on his bad side,” Jason said.
“I heard he’s pretty eccentric, and once flat-out refused to treat a super rich guy.
“But that guy just wouldn’t give up-he even sent people to block the doctor and force him to come treat him.
“The doctor finally went, but instead of curing him, the guy’s illness got twice as bad-he almost died.
“Even though they became sworn enemies after that, the billionaire never dared cross him again.
“Stuff like that happened more than once.
“So after that, no one dared to push him if he said no.
“When he turned me down, I just gave up too.”
Compared to that miracle doctor, Jason definitely put more faith in Alicia.
He turned to her and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you saying there’s something off about how he treated Jeu?
Jason hadn’t been there in person today, but he’d watched the whole thing live.
Alicia replied, “Yeah, normally he shouldn’t have a severe internal depletion of vital energy, but it’s actually pretty bad. “And his pulse is weird-like something’s hidden, or maybe someone’s messed with him.
“Just checking his pulse isn’t enough to figure it out. I’d need to do some acupuncture to get things moving, then take another look.”
She shrugged again. “It’s not like we’re close enough for me to take the initiative and offer to help him out
Jason thought for a moment. “Maybe he was just using your banter as an excuse to see if you’d take a look at him-like he was trying to test you?
The Kingsley family’s doting on him isn’t just for show.
“So he shouldn’t be all worked up at home.

He asked, “Could it be some kind of lingering issue from before?”
Alicia shook her head. “It’s definitely not some lingering aftereffect from before-that much I can say for sure.
“Anyway, if he’s hoping I’ll treat him, or if he’s got something else in mind, he’ll reach out to me himself
After everything that happened today. Alicia kept replaying the details of how she’d met Jett in her previous life.
Now she realized that the whole scheme to lock her and Jett in a hotel room-supposedly to help Nicole out and “seal the deal-probably wasn’t as straightforward as it looked.
She’d seen right through it back then.
She started to suspect that maybe it wasn’t about sealing the deal at all, but just about getting them stuck together in that hotel room.
‘So what was he really after?’ Alicia wondered to herself.
But it was just a guess-she couldn’t be sure.
In her last life, she’d left the country not long after beating Jett up.
This time, since she’d cut ties, a lot of things had changed, so it wasn’t really surprising that Jett showed up earlier than before.
She didn’t bother guessing any further.
‘I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it, Alicia thought. ‘If that guy really has some other agenda, he’ll show his true colors eventually.
Jason nodded. “Yeah, if he’s got something up his sleeve, he’ll slip up sooner or later.”
He added, “Trust me, he’s not nearly as naive as he pretends to be.
“So when you’re dealing with him on the show, make sure you keep your guard up.”
Alicia nodded. “Got it!”
But she could feel that Jett never had any bad intentions toward her, no matter if it was before or now.
Still, it never hurts to keep your guard up.
She asked, “Are you coming with me to Greenpeak Village this time?”
Jason replied, “Yeah, I’m coming along. I’ve already taken care of all the important stuff at the company
“I even had the production team book me a ticket too.”
lately.
Alicia nodded. “Acupuncture’s at a really critical point right now, and I can’t afford to miss a single session. Having you come along definitely makes me feel a lot safer.”
Jason grinned. “Glad we’re on the same page.”
They chatted for a while longer, and once the acupuncture session was done. Alicia went home to get ready for the trip
tomorrow.
