When Ethan returned to Serenity Acupuncture Clinic, the previously vandalized items had all been cleaned up.
The clinic was completely renewed.
Perhaps too tired, Victoria had fallen asleep leaning against the desk.
Seeing her slightly haggard face and lightly furrowed brows, Ethan's expression became complicated.
No matter what, Victoria had saved the old man's life.
He felt some gratitude towards her.
Thinking this, he took off his coat and gently draped it over Victoria's shoulders.
Victoria shivered and woke up instantly. She slowly got up, sleepily asking, "You're back? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine. You've worked hard today. Thank you... for everything you've done," Ethan said politely.
"Don't mention it. Grandpa Booze was hurt; it's only right I took care of him." Victoria pursed her lips.
"You've been up all night. Are you hungry?"
"A little."
"The usual, ramen with an egg?"
