Caleb Woodward was surprised for a long ti until Sumr Monroe reminded him, and Caleb returned to his senses, turning to Sumr to explain, "Clara is my younger brother, he usually cos to my shop to help out even if there’s nothing important."
Sumr Monroe wasn’t particularly interested in the family affairs of the Woodward Family.
She spoke up, "The red spots on her skin, and the symptoms, are clearly caused by tick paralysis, could it be that your brother accidentally brought ticks when he ca to find her?"
Caleb’s eyes brightened, and he said, "My brother is a mountain climbing enthusiast."
"Mountain climbing enthusiast..." Sumr repeated silently, turning to Faye’s parents and saying, "Could you two wait at the door for a mont? I need to conduct a thorough examination."
The couple trusted Caleb Woodward implicitly, since it was Caleb who recomnded them, they naturally listened to Sumr as well, and quickly retreated outside.
Only three people remained in the room.
Sumr spoke frankly, "Did you and Clara Woodward have a relationship?"
Faye’s face imdiately turned red, looking at Caleb Woodward, unsure whether or not to tell the truth.
Caleb frowned and said, "Faye, be honest, I am Clara’s older brother, but I’m also your doctor, there’s nothing you can’t say."
Faye then nodded and said, "Yes..."
"Okay." Sumr nodded slightly, and said, "I’ll have Doctor Woodward leave the room, can I examine you?"
Faye nodded, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Caleb got up and stepped outside.
Sumr directly helped Faye remove her pants, and amid Faye’s embarrassnt and fear, checked her lower body.
She had examined everywhere else, only here remained unchecked.
Considering Caleb Woodward had been involved with Faye, if it was truly tick paralysis, the tick was very likely to be here.
Sure enough, not long after, Sumr found a tick in Faye’s lower body, its head buried in her flesh, and extracted it.
With the tick removed, Caleb Woodward could handle the rest himself.
Sumr opened the door, spreading out the tick on her palm.
The tick had drunk its fill of blood, its belly was round and bulging.
Sumr threw it to the ground and stomped it to death, then asked Caleb, "Do you know what to do next?"
Caleb nodded, "I know, thank you, Miss Monroe."
The couple hurriedly apologized to Sumr as well.
Sumr waved them off, saying to Caleb Woodward, "Don’t forget my dicine, I’ll be waiting outside."
With that, Sumr got up and returned to the front hall.
At this ti, employees were trickling back from lunch, and Sumr finally got the herbs she wanted to buy, turning to leave.
Just then, Caleb Woodward ran out to call her.
"Miss Monroe, please stay!"
Sumr paused and turned to ask, "Is there any issue with Faye’s condition?"
"No, no, Faye’s condition has been handled." Caleb Woodward brought Sumr to a secluded corner and said, "Please forgive for making a decision on my own, I’ve told my father about your situation. My dad said he wants to invite you to participate in the Woodward Family Head selection at the beginning of next month."
"Woodward Family Head?"
"Yes." Caleb nodded and said, "Our family has three siblings in total, father married late, he was already forty when he had . Now he’s older, feels out of touch, so he’s preparing to give up his position as family head."
Sumr asked curiously, "Does your father an he wants to help assist in your family’s selection for a head?"
"No, no." Caleb hurriedly waved his hand, "He wants you to also participate in the selection for the family head."
"Huh?" Sumr was utterly surprised, "But I’m not part of the Woodward Family."
Moreover, if she participated in the selection, Claire Woodward might end up hating her?
