"What? Couldn't find anything? How is that possible?!" Sean was surprised, "Mr. Reynolds, the individual's access permissions are extremely high.

"The younger generation hardly visits traditional medicine practitioners. Haruca Hospital is one of the top hospitals in Crescentville, and If this is happening even there, imagine what it must be like elsewhere," he said.

Shakira lowered her eyes. What he said echoed what Matthew had lamented during her acupuncture training. Traditional medicine had stagnated, while modern medicine continued to progress.
