Chapter 157
Paisley was speechless.
"Leo, stop being rude," Max interrupted.
Leo clearly didn't accept this and continued glaring at Paisley as if she were his enemy. At that moment, Paisley
was too tired to argue with him. She had just been soaked in the rain, and her wet clothes clung uncomfortably
to her skin.
With so many men suddenly appearing
her house, she felt uneasy. Without saying anything, she
walked over to Max and, disregarding all medical protocols, started pulling the silver needles out of his leg one
by one.
She pulled hard, and in sspots, blood spurted out after the needles were removed.
"What are you doing?" Leo shouted angrily, but since she was a woman and he had already been warned, he
could only clench his fists and glare at her.
After removing all the needles, Paisley turned to Max. "Alright, you can leave now."

Normally, given the severity of his leg condition, he should have rested for forty minutes after the
treatment. But Paisley had no patience to let him stay another minute in her house.
Max understood the situation and realized it was inconvenient for them to stay. He tried to stand up and leave.
Leo quickly moved to help him, but to everyone's surprise, he stood up on his own.
Leo was stunned and could hardly believe what he saw. In the past, whenever Max's leg acted up, the pain was
so intense that he couldn't even get up or move.
Max himself was equally shocked. When the needles were in, he had felt warmth spreading through his body, like
the blood in his leg was boiling. Although there was still sdull pain, it no longer restricted his movement.
He looked at Paisley in astonishment. "How can | thank you, miss? Can | pay you?"
"Forget it, no need," Paisley said with a dismissive wave of her hand. "Just take your people and leave as soon as
possible.
It had been pure coincidence that she encountered him today. Worried she might have hit him, she had treated
him. She had no intention of involving herself further.
Realizing how rude he had been earlier, Leo awkwardly bowed deeply to Paisley. "I'm sorry. | was wrong before.
Please forgive me." He didn't expect Paisley could actually treat Max.
Paisley didn't feel the need to forgive him. After today, she and this man wouldn't cross paths again.
"I can't completely cure your leg, just alleviate the pain for now. It'll relapse later, so you need to take care of it,"
she said.
Max nodded politely, not looking too disappointed. He knew his leg's condition well. Every relapse felt like
thousands of ants gnawing at his bones. Now, simply being able to move was already a huge relief.
"I live next door and will be in Harrowfell for a while. If you need help, feel free to cby," he said. Paisley
hadn't expected this man to be the owner of the villa next door, the one from Montera. Finally, Max and his
group left Paisley's villa.
Maria watched them leave and said uneasily, "Paisy, | don't know why, but they don't seem like good people to
me."
Paisley didn't know what to make of them either. "Let's just mind our own business and stay away from them in
the future."
Maria nodded, though she was a bit disappointed. With these big men as neighbors, it seemed she wouldn't have
anyone to chat with.

The next day was Millie's birthday party at Serena's kindergarten. Paisley took Serena to a garden-style

A hostess dressed inhanfuled them through winding corridors and into the main hall.
The hall was spacious, with a design featuring garden rocks, small bridges, and flowing water. Serena clearly
loved the place, looking around with excitement.
Paisley thought about taking Serena and Maria to Nexa to see the famous gardens there.
Millie's birthday party was in an indoor pavilion at the south corner of the hall. A wooden long table sat in the
middle, with a stream running through its center. Fish swam in the water, and beautiful dishes floated gracefully
along the current.
Paisley was pleasantly surprised. She hadn't expected Vivian to have such exquisite taste.
Paisley and Serena arrived at the tVivian suggested, but when they got there, the party had already started
for a while. All the parents and children had already chosen their seats, and only the two seats at the very end,
in the corner, were left.
Paisley didn't think too much about it, taking Serena by the hand and walking to the last main seat, where Millie
and her mom were sitting.
Serena personally handed the gift to Millie, speaking in a sweet, babyish voice, "This is for you, happy birthday."
It was Serena's first tgiving a birthday gift to someone else, and since she had picked it out herself, she was
both excited and eager to see Millie's reaction when she opened it.
