Whenever Yasmin looked in the mirror, she would notice more wrinkles and grey hair despite her efforts to slow down her aging. Thus, she slowly gave up trying and no longer wanted to look at her reflection.
"So you're saying it's lucky to be able to grow old?" she asked hesitantly, finding the idea intriguing.
"Of course!" Dominic slapped his thigh and said, "It's not easy to do that. I've seen and treated many people during my travels. Various strange diseases and illnesses plagued children, which was truly…heartbreaking.
"So why fear aging? The real regret is not being able to grow old." After a pause, he thought of something and added, "Anyway, I'm really not old, okay?"
Amused, the queen laughed.
She nodded and said, "Yes, you're not, but I am."
"You're not. You've only let your negative thoughts affect your body," Dominic said, shaking his head.
The queen was puzzled. "Hmm? Are you sure? Would negative thoughts affect my health?" It was a subject she cared most about.
"According to herbal medicine, emotions influence our organs and veins, which could cause blockages and swellings."
Yasmin somewhat understood him and remembered he was a miracle doctor. She hesitantly showed him her wrist and said, “Can you take my wrist pulse?"
"I haven’t treated any patients for a very long time," Dominic said blandly.
