Olivia could not be bothered by Summer’s accusations. Instead, she turned her attention to the director. “Director
Norris, it might be for the best to check if there’s something added to the drinks.”
The director then gave another order. “Go check out the surveillance footage. If you catch the culprit in action, then
immediately turn both the evidence and the culprit to the authorities!”
Summer was at ease as she had already sent someone to delete the footage. Now, there was no evidence tying
her to the scene. Just then, Jewel came back with Olivia’s small black bag.
Olivia took it from her and then called out to the group of male actors. “Can someone go check on Sean and Eric? If
they are able to come out of the restroom, then I’ll be able to help treat them.”
One of the actors replied, “I’ll do it.” With suspicion in his eyes, Director Norris looked at Olivia. “You know how to
treat them?” Olivia smiled. “Of course. I’m a doctor!”
Director Norris was surprised, but he quickly composed himself as he watched Olivia grab a cloth pouch containing
acupuncture needles from her small black bag. “You’re not just any doctor, but a TCM doctor?”
Olivia nodded in response. “Yes.”

Breaking into laughter, Olivia replied, “Of course!” As the two were conversing, both Sean and Eric had managed to
return. Their faces were very pale and they had lost their strength as they had difficulties walking without swaying.
Olivia then instructed them, “Find a place to lie down.” The two were flabbergasted. “Olivia, what are you
planning?” With a frown, Olivia impatiently gave a similar order, “Be obedient. Now lie down.”
Sean was more compliant out of the two, as he went to lie down on a simple resting bed available to the crew. “Lift
your top and your legs.”
While saying that, Olivia pulled one of the acupuncture needles out of her cloth pouch. As Sean laid eyes on that
long silver needle, he was immediately struck with fear. “My god!
Olivia! Just what are you going to do?”
With the needle in her hands, she patiently explained, “I’ll be giving you an acupuncture!”
Sean immediately tried to get out of the bed. “No, no, no. That won’t do. Going through an acupuncture treatment
is just too much for me. I think it’ll be better for me to just spend my time in the restroom.”
The corners of Olivia’s mouth slightly twitched at Sean’s reaction. Who would have thought that the great Doctor
Bailey would be so disliked to this extent?
She was dumbstruck over what was happening and could only continue staring at him.
Truth be told, the people around them were skeptical about Olivia’s claim as a doctor. If she was a doctor as she
claimed, why would she go through the trouble of playing the role of an actor?
Furthermore, she was a TCM doctor. It would take years of accumulating experiences under one’s belt to fully learn
the methods of a TCM doctor. Without those experiences, no TCM doctor would have the courage to give medical
treatment.
Considering her age, that did not seem probable at all. When thinking of acupuncture treatment, it was usually the
image of an old man that was performing an acupuncture treatment; the image of a woman in her twenties
performing an acupuncture treatment was just unbelievable.
In any event, she was benevolent enough to have offered acupuncture treatment to the actors, but who would trust
her skills as a TCM doctor?
Any ordinary person would think twice before accepting treatment from someone so young, let alone artists-whose
appearance and health was the lifeline to their income.

treatment being paralyzed was all but guaranteed. The air around the room turned slightly cold from the silence.
It was then Summer snorted. “We know Miss Maxwell wants to make amends, but to go as far as to perform an
acupuncture treatment? You’re just putting them on the spot right now. Not to mention the question of whether you
have a doctor’s license to practice.
Even if you do, there’s been a rise of those that hold a license yet without the skills to back it up. After all, we’re
talking about someone’s life here. No amount of money can recover what will be lost in case there’s even the
slightest misstep in the treatment.”
Backing down, Olivia waved her hands to stop the snide remarks. “Alright. Seems like I’ve made a fool out of
myself. Since you guys have no faith in my abilities, then hurry up and seek treatment in a hospital. Don’t delay it
any longer!”
Eric frowned slightly. “What do you mean we have no trust in your abilities? Sean only said that he was afraid of
acupuncture and had never mentioned anything about his faith in your abilities. Don’t twist his words like that.”
Saying that, he turned to Olivia. ‘Olivia, give me the treatment. It’s only an acupuncture treatment after all. I’ve
even heard it doesn’t hurt at all!”
