Caleb Woodward was surprised for a long time until Summer Monroe reminded him, and Caleb returned to his senses, turning to Summer to explain, "Clara is my younger brother, he usually comes to my shop to help out even if there’s nothing important."

Summer 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 came to find her?"

Caleb’s eyes brightened, and he said, "My brother is a mountain climbing enthusiast."

"Mountain climbing enthusiast..." Summer repeated silently, turning to Faye’s parents and saying, "Could you two wait at the door for a moment? I need to conduct a thorough examination."

The couple trusted Caleb Woodward implicitly, since it was Caleb who recommended them, they naturally listened to Summer as well, and quickly retreated outside.

Only three people remained in the room.

Summer spoke frankly, "Did you and Clara Woodward have a relationship?"

Faye’s face immediately 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." Summer 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.

Summer directly helped Faye remove her pants, and amid Faye’s embarrassment 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, Summer found a tick in Faye’s lower body, its head buried in her flesh, and extracted it. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

With the tick removed, Caleb Woodward could handle the rest himself.

Summer opened the door, spreading out the tick on her palm.

The tick had drunk its fill of blood, its belly was round and bulging.

Summer 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 Summer as well.

Summer waved them off, saying to Caleb Woodward, "Don’t forget my medicine, I’ll be waiting outside."

With that, Summer got up and returned to the front hall.

At this time, employees were trickling back from lunch, and Summer finally got the herbs she wanted to buy, turning to leave.

Just then, Caleb Woodward ran out to call her.

"Miss Monroe, please stay!"

Summer paused and turned to ask, "Is there any issue with Faye’s condition?"

"No, no, Faye’s condition has been handled." Caleb Woodward brought Summer to a secluded corner and said, "Please forgive me 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 me. Now he’s older, feels out of touch, so he’s preparing to give up his position as family head."

Summer asked curiously, "Does your father mean he wants me 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?" Summer 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?
