Michelle’s face reddened even more after hearing what he said. It looked as if her face had been soaked in a fresh layer of bright red paint.
“I… I…”
Autumn clapped with joy. “Oh yay! Papa promised! Aunt Michelle, now you can’t call Papa a big liar, right? Papa’s very skilled. Grandma even said Papa’s a miracle doctor.”
“No, no, he’s a great miracle doctor!” Spring corrected.
Winter chirped in a sweet voice. “Both of you are wrong. Grandma said that Papa is the greatest and most powerful miracle doctor in the whole wide world! That’s what she told us, understand?”
Alex laughed out loud. He hadn’t had many chances to take care of his children since their birth, leaving Brittany, Claire, and Beatrice to take on that role. His sister-in-law was especially good at this.
Although she wasn’t their actual mother, she could definitely be. Not only had they grown up in a safe and loving environment, they were raised and taught well, even able to debate with each other now.
Beatrice, on the other hand, was completely infatuated with him. She had never complained nor regretted her decisions, and it touched Alex’s heart. He even found himself genuinely growing fond of her.
Life was just that fascinating.
Back then, the two hated each other’s guts. Beatrice would bully him and find other men for her sister to marry as if her life depended on it. Despite this, she fell in love with him later on, as if she were under a spell.
As though she could touch Alex’s passionate gaze, Beatrice blushed slightly, her heart pounding out of her chest. She then twirled a few strands of hair around her index finger. “Is Michelle’s problem serious?”
Alex nodded. “Yeah. The martial art she previously learned was flawed, causing direct problems to her heart. Her inner force and Chi were all concentrated around that area, which triggered growth in that part.”
“In other words, all her nutrients gathered there.”
Michelle was extremely embarrassed, and she could only stare straight at the ground.
“But… Didn’t you alter it for me back then?”
“I did, and there shouldn’t be any problems. But who would’ve known that there would be a spiritual energy revival on Earth? When it overflowed, your body had to take on more energy than what you’re used to, and your previous condition arose again.”
“Then… What do I do now? I… I look horrible now.”
Beatrice smiled. “How so? You look amazing! You just don’t know how many men out there have fallen for you, calling you their curvy goddess! I could never achieve that even if I wanted to!”
“Stop joking around,” Michelle snapped. “Why don’t you put these on yourself and give it a go? Careful, or you might fall down the stairs from all that imbalance!”
Alex looked at the two, trying hard to hold in his laughter.
Michelle was feeling slightly nervous as she went into the room. “Alex, how are you going to heal me?”
Alex replied. “Don ’t worry, no surgery will be needed. I will just remove all the problems within your heart by clearing all the veins in your body, opening up some new capillaries to improve blood flow.”
“With this, all your problems would be completely solved. And I can use a reduction spell to partially reduce the size of your chest.”
Michelle was worried. “Would it look weird after healing?”
“It won’t I’ll be careful.”
“I’m scared of getting wrinkles.”
“I promise your skin would be even smoother than a baby’s bottom.”
“Would it be disproportionate, then?”
“Uhm… No.”
