When Felix woke up the next day, he felt refreshed. Looking at the time, he realized it was already 8:30 am. Usually, he would wake up around 5:00 am. Not only did he sleep soundly the night before, but he even slept for a long time.
So, he wondered if he liked the kind of bed in Demi's home.
…
When Felix opened the door, he saw Demi, who was about to knock on his door. Clifford was already there as well.
"Breakfast is ready. So, wash yourself up and join us," said Demi.
Felix felt a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry for waking up late."
"Yeah, that's normal," she said casually before heading into the kitchen.
When he heard that, he didn't understand what she meant. Why would it be normal to wake up late? He wasn't a fool at all as he figured out the answer three seconds later.
…
"Was I able to sleep soundly because of your acupuncture?" Felix asked Demi right away while having breakfast.
"That's right," she said with a nod.
"So, you fixed my insomnia for me while treating my legs, huh?" he asked in confusion.
"Well… You can say that. However, it's not the reason you think it is. You might think that I fixed your insomnia separately when treating your legs. In reality, when I treated your legs, it affected your sleeping habits as well.
"For people practicing traditional medicine, a human's body is connected from head to toe. So, by fixing one problem in your body, another problem will be gone as well," she explained.
"I see!" Felix finally understood what was going on, and his respect for her increased. She was able to do what other doctors couldn't achieve at all. With that in mind, he thought Demi was his lucky star.
If Demi knew that was how Felix thought of her, she would be amused because he was the lucky man to her.
