Chapter 35 Zoie Pate’s Beautiful Feet

William’s hands were filled with Qi. He held Zote’s foot in one hand and massaged her ankle with his other- hand.

Throughout her entire life, Zoie had never had anybody play with her feet in such a manner before. Her face flushed pink with embarrassment, but her bashfulness was quickly dispelled by the sharp pain that shot up her leg. She screamed in agony, tears springing into her.

eyes.

Strangely enough, a wave of warmth washed over her ankle after that short stab of pain. The pain quickly subsided, and her ankle became comfortable instead.

William held her foot in his hand, thinking that her foot was as white as snow. The shape of her toes was: beautiful, her toenails were like pearls, and her skin was almost translucent. He could even see the faint blue veins beneath her skin.

He quickly finished treating her injury, but her foot was so beautiful that he couldn’t resist playing around for some time. Hence, he discreetly continued to massage and knead her foot.

As the pain was gone, she began to feel ticklish. She initially tried to endure the feeling; then, she eventually started giggling softly.

Bradley was still slumped on the ground, so he couldn’t help protesting. “Mr. Barrett! Mr. William, can you please examine me? I’m going to die from the pain.”

It was not until Bradley made his protest that William remembered that there was another person in the room. He reluctantly put Zoic’s foot down and walked over. Then, he swept a glance over Bradley’s wrist, reached out to pick up Bradley’s wrist, and gave a swift jerk.

He easily snapped Bradley’s wrist back in place with a soft crack. The bone and tendon were wounded, but they were not serious. These injuries would heal in a few days with some ointment.

Bradley immediately felt the pain disappearing. He shot William an astonished glance as he blurted, “Why did my treatment end so quickly?”

William had spent such a long time massaging Zoie’s ankle earlier. So, why was his treatment so fast in comparison?

He explained, “Her condition was more serious than yours. You only suffered a joint dislocation.”

Bradley pressed his hand against his head. “He also hit my head earlier. Will I be fine?”

William reassured. “You’ll be fine. I’ll perform some simple acupuncture on you later.”

Bradley heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he quickly thanked William. If not for William’s help today, both he and Zoie would have been in deep trouble. It had been such a dangerous situation earlier!

Zoie had gotten to her feet and probed curiously, “Mr. William, what martial art do you practice? You” broke his arm so easily!”

William replied, “The Shaylin Dragon Claw Martial Art.”

She had never heard the name before, but she repeatedly murmured appreciatively, “Cool!” Then, she walked over and turned the ‘old lady‘ around. After she removed the wig and swiped a wet wipe over the

Bradley glanced at the ‘old lady‘ and exclaimed, “There’s no doubt! It’s him! That b start has six murders on his record! We finally caught him! We need to report this immediately!”

“Okay!” Zoie nodded and hurriedly reported their findings to the higher–ups.

William said, “Inspector Hussain, Officer Pate, please continue with your work. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be taking my leave. Still, it was nice meeting you.”

Bradley quickly jumped into the conversation. “William, you were a tremendous help to us. Please allow me to treat you to dinner another day. His main reason was that he wanted William to perform acupuncture on him. After all, he had suffered a blow to the head. He was worried that he might suffer some negative aftereffects.

“Sure, let’s meet another day.” William waved goodbye and turned to leave.
