Meryl's eyes flashed with a hint of pity. "You don't have to put on a brave face, Anne. Not in front of me."
Meryl didn't want her overthinking, so she deliberately changed the topic. "You didn't look so well just now. Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?" "No need," Anne said.
Seeing Anne insist, Meryl didn't press further. After helping Anne remove her makeup, Meryl lightly placed her fingers on Anne's pulse.
Anne noticed and her eyes shifted. "What? You know how to check pulses?"
Meryl nodded. "Years ago, before the Stone family found me, I trained under an experienced practitioner in my village. But honestly, I'm not that great at diagnosing through pulse reading.

She managed to stop the bleeding from his main artery just in time, which is why he survived.

Meryl being brought back into the Stone family should have been a joyous event. But because of this incident, no one in the family was happy.

Meryl didn't have a medical license. But in their village, doctors were everywhere.
Everyone there had their own special skills, and the practitioner who taught Meryl was the most renowned for miles. Meryl had learned nearly all of his techniques.
So, when she encountered that little boy with an asthma attack, Meryl had confidently used acupuncture.
