But he raised his hand and didn’t reach out.

In the end, he slowly let it drop.

His voice sounded heavier than before.

“They’ve already seen what I can do.”

Alice blinked and looked up at him.

:

Eric always wore a poker face–almost never showing much expression.

She had no idea how to fix that kind of blank look.

Without seeing even a flicker of emotion, she could never tell what he was thinking.

He spoke briefly, like he didn’t want to say more.

If he stayed quiet, she wouldn’t push him.

Just then, Daniel came over.

“Mr. Eric, Mrs. Nolan, the event is starting up front. The auction will begin soon.”

Eric nodded.

He hadn’t forgotten that Alice had mentioned wanting a painting.

“Let’s go.” He spoke, and his hand moved as if by habit to guide her.

But Alice surprised him. She lifted her arm and looped it through his arm instead.

Daniel’s eyes widened.

Wow! Not gonna lie, Mrs. Nolan’s got style.

Big win for her!

Come on, Mr. Eric, you can do this!

Eric looked a little surprised.

Chapter 341 Eric Was Shy?

His gaze landed on her hand looped through his arm.

Her fingers were pale, with neatly rounded nails.

They looked light, almost weightless, and yet somehow heavier than a mountain.

For a moment, his mind went blank.

Even his breathing got faster.

“Are we going or not?” Alice asked, tugging his arm.

But Eric didn’t move.

She looked up, a little annoyed.

That’s when she noticed Eric’s ears were slightly red, like they’d been sunburned.

No way.

Is Mr. Eric… shy?

She coughed a few times. Wow, he’s that innocent?

They had already shared a bed before, so a little touch like this shouldn’t be a big deal.

Besides, she wasn’t doing this for fun–this was proper etiquette for accompanying someone at a business event.

Her coughs brought Eric back to reality.

He realized she was holding back laughter.

He frowned. “What’s so funny?”

Alice didn’t hide it. She laughed.

“I think you’ve been acting strange lately.”

Eric was puzzled.

Daniel was cracking up on the side but wisely stayed silent.

Let Mr. Eric sweat a little.

:

“You mean strange in my health, or something else?”

Alice stepped forward, keeping her arm linked with his.

“Mr. Eric, you’re my patient. I only talk about facts with you. I only talk about your health.”

As soon as she said it, a flicker of disappointment appeared in Eric’s eyes.

He seemed a little lonely.

But quickly, he went back to his usual cold, detached self.

His voice became light. “Mm.”

Alice froze for a moment, then instinctively looked up at him.

Even though Eric’s face was still unreadable, for some reason, she felt like he looked a little

weary.

Maybe she was wrong.

This was Eric, the powerful, untouchable man.

Curious, she let her hand slide to his wrist.

His heartbeat was fine, but his liver and spleen felt tense, like some stress had built up.

As they say, worry hurts the spleen, and stress hurts the liver.

He handled too much every day. To really get better, he needed a detox and needle therapy.

She also needed to start giving him herbal medicine soon.

Before, she hadn’t used any medicine because Eric’s body was too weak to handle it.

It would have done more harm than good.

But after this period of careful care, Eric was much better now.
