Lucia panicked when she saw Cynthia Grant place three fingers on her wrist. But, well-versed in this sort of situation, she forced herself to calm down and carefully observed Cynthia Grant.
'She's so young. So what if she knows Chinese medicine? Besides, I did lose the baby, but it was a few days ago. I refuse to believe some young doctor of Chinese medicine can tell how many days ago I lost it just by taking my pulse!'
Feeling reassured, Lucia stared at Cynthia Grant and said, "Cynthia, after all this time together, I had no idea a young girl like you knew Chinese medicine. It must be pretty hard to learn, isn't it?"
Cynthia Grant shook her head. "Not at all."
"Is that so? People who haven't truly mastered their craft often say things like that, don't you think? Cynthia Grant, was it? Or should I say, Doctor?"
