In her past life, Sophia had passionately promoted pediatric massage, often training others until it became popular nationwide.
Eventually, in her country, when children fell ill, parents would seek pediatric massage first rather than rushing for IV drips. Only if the massage didn’t work would they turn to Modern medicine. But here, things were completely reversed. Basic pediatric massage techniques, which had no special complexity, were treated like mystical martial arts by parents!
It was truly exaggerated!
“Dr. Smith, your clinic is wonderful. Why not move it to the main street? I have a storefront on my street that you can use for free!” said one parent whose child had a persistent high fever until Sophia’s treatment worked.
“Dr. Smith, I work in media. Let me make an ad for your clinic!”
“Dr. Smith, I’m a preschool teacher. I’ll recommend you to our groups.”
“I’ll post about it on my social media!”
Everyone wanted to promote Sophia. They said she didn’t understand business, that her clinic was too hidden away, and suggested that she at least post regularly to engage her clients.
And they all said her fees were too low, urging her to increase them!
What a uniquely supportive group of clients!
Sophia could only laugh helplessly at their suggestions.
“Sophia, check out Clinton’s Facebook post!” came a message from Chloe while Sophia was treating a patient.
Sophia paused, opened Clinton’s profile, and found a post:
“#BeautyCream A friend gave me a jar of Beauty Cream. They say you don’t need any skincare routine or makeup—just wash up and apply it, and it replaces every skincare and makeup step! At first, I didn’t believe it and tried to find flaws in this product. After all, many have tried to simplify skincare but rarely succeeded. However, no matter how hard I tried, I could only describe this product as ‘exceptional.’ It’s incredibly hydrating. Though light in texture, it provides coverage and gives a soft, luminous glow that almost feels like a filter. It truly lives up to the name ‘Beauty Cream!’ Oh, and don’t ask where to buy it—it hasn’t launched yet!”
Clinton’s post included photos showing the product, his results, and comparison tests between Beauty Cream and several luxury foundations. Even after 10 hours, the hydration level with Beauty Cream was impressive.
The comments section was buzzing with excitement.
Reading the first part made me want to buy it, but the last line left me heartbroken.
Is this finally the era for lazy skincare?
I hate lengthy skincare routines. If one product does it all, it’s perfect!
So excited! What brand is this?
Clinton, you’ve got me hooked. I need to buy this.
That day, Sophia heard that many influencers and celebrities were asking Chloe if Beauty Cream was available for sale.
Sophia chuckled to herself. She was already working hard, but she could only make a few bottle a day—there was no way to produce it faster.
For now, Beauty Cream would just have to remain in short supply.
Beauty Cream might be the first product to become an internet sensation before it even launched. Many people were trying to discover its origins, but few could find any real answers, and no one even knew the brand name.
Sophia wasn’t particularly interested in these things. She had developed Beauty Cream purely for her own convenience, and the sales were Chloe’s concern—not hers.
As time passed, Sophia continued preparing herbal medicines for Tony and Wilson Mark’s treatments. Both were reporting positive results, especially Wilson Mark, whose facial white patches had stabilized and were even beginning to fade slightly.
Sophia knew it was time to stop his medication.
That day, Wilson Mark arrived with his driver to pick up his medicine. He entered the room in high spirits, smiling as he said:
“Dr. Smith, look at my face! Doesn’t it look better? I think my patches are fading, and they’re not as itchy as before!”
Sophia had already noticed the improvement. Not only that, but his pulse had also strengthened significantly.
“Your…um, other issues should also be improving, right?”
Wilson Mark coughed in embarrassment, glancing around to ensure they were alone before speaking in a low voice:
“Yes, yes. There have been…signs of improvement. It’s getting easier to…get stirred.”
Recently, he had even tested himself by initiating activities with his wife. Initially, he would feel the desire but struggle with performance, much to his wife’s frustration. But after a few more attempts, he finally succeeded. His wife, initially skeptical, found his stamina and firmness had greatly improved—his previous issues seemed fully resolved.
His wife even questioned whether he’d taken Viagra!
“This is a sign your kidneys are recovering,” Sophia noted, jotting down his symptoms in his records before smiling at him. “Mr. Mark, in that case, you can stop taking the medicine!”
Wilson Mark looked startled, his face darkening.
“How can I stop? This medicine works so well! I’ve just started getting better, and you want me to stop? Isn’t that wasting all our progress?”
“Really?” Sophia gave him a scrutinizing look.
Seeing her expression, Wilson Mark broke into a cold sweat.
Over the past few days, he’d begun realizing that Sophia wasn’t simple. She had identified his vitiligo, waited for him at his company, and gradually pulled him in, completely confident that she could cure him. And sure enough, she hadn’t been lying. His condition had significantly improved, and just now, she was asking him to stop treatment.
Could she be…
Wilson Mark forced a smile and said kindly:
“Dr. Smith, what’s going on? Don’t cut me off just when I’m seeing results.”
Sophia smiled, casting him a glance that made him wonder if he was playing dumb on purpose.
“Let me be frank, Mr. Mark. You’ve probably looked into me, so you should know what I want. Frankly, all I need from you is a simple statement. Now, the choice is yours.”
Wilson Mark chuckled awkwardly, though inside, he was deeply conflicted. He wouldn’t have reached his current position without a degree of cunning, so he understood Sophia’s implication.
He had heard about the affair between Scott Henry and Olivia.
Although Olivia was known as a mistress, she was still part of the Scott family, so he had previously chosen to turn a blind eye.
Back then, he hadn’t known Sophia was Scott Henry’s legal wife. Now that he did, he realized Sophia would not let Olivia off easily.
