Chapter 200
Hearing Alicia call her ‘sis’, the woman in her forties laughed, “I’m old enough to be your aunt, you know?
Alicia smiled. “You look so young! Honestly, you’re just a little older than us, so calling you sis feels just
The woman broke into a happy smile. “You sure know how to say the right things, young lady.
“Come on, I’ll take you to my place. I’ll make sure to hook you up with some extra ingredients,” she said, waving them
The four of them followed the lady to her house.
And sure enough, a bunch of villagers trailed behind, all wanting to see what the fuss was about
Meanwhile, the live chat was blowing up with comments about how bubbly and smooth-talking Alicia was
They’d barely stepped out the door and already scored a job for some ingredients.
Seeing how well Alicia was doing, Caleb called out, “We’ve got the same mission-looking for ingredients. Does anyone else need a hand with anything?”
‘My sister Nicole really can get along with anyone, no matter where she goes. Caleb thought.
So he just followed Alicia’s lead and tried the same approach.
With Caleb stepping up-handsome as ever-and three more heartthrobs in his crew, it was no wonder all eyes were on them.
A young woman, cheeks flushed, said, “The peaches in our yard are ready to pick, and we need someone to help harvest
them.
“If you guys are up for it, I’ll hook you up with some ingredients, too.”
Caleb flashed a smile. “Sure, we’d love to help pick some peaches!”
Without missing a beat, the four of them headed off after the young woman to her house.
Alicia and her crew showed up at her house and jumped right in to help clean up.
It was a pretty light job-just sweeping the yard and picking up some clutter in the living room.
The two guys got to work outside, while Alicia and Hannah tackled the living room.
Just as they started working, a harsh coughing sound came from one of the rooms.
You could tell it was a pretty bad cough.
The woman explained to Alicia and the others. “That’s my mother-in-law. She’s been coughing for a long to the hospital, and they said it wasn’t anything serious
“They prescribed her some medicine, but she’s still coughing.
“She even got some IV treatments-those helped for a few days, but then the couch contr bati
She sighed. “We’ve even tried traditional medicine, but that don’t help cather

Alicia asked, “Does she cough like this every day?”
The woman nodded. “Yeah, once she starts, it just goes on and on.”
Alicia paused, then said, “Actually, I’m a doctor. Want me to check on your mother-in-law?”
The woman blinked in surprise. “Wait, aren’t you one of the celebrities?”
Alicia smiled. “I’m a licensed traditional medicine doctor-graduated from Solmare Medical College.
“Trust me, I know my stuff. Want me to give it a try?”
Even if the hospital says it’s nothing major, coughing like that for so long can really wear a person down.
Since Alicia was there, she naturally wanted to help out.
The woman glanced at Alicia-young, pretty, and a celebrity-so she wasn’t really expecting much from her as a doctor.
But she figured there was no harm in letting Alicia give it a shot, especially since she could tell Alicia genuinely meant well.
So she nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll go get her.”
The viewers watching the show were all stunned.
[Wait, Alicia knows medicine? Is this for real?]
[She can actually heal people? Is she just trying to get attention?]
[I’ve always liked Alicia, but she better not pretend to be a doctor-if this blows up, it’s gonna be super awkward.]
[She probably does know her stuff-didn’t she say she graduated from Solmare Medical College for traditional medicine?]
[Did you guys forget? Yesterday, Jett said Alicia graduated from Solmare Medical College and even asked her to help him out.]
[I thought Jett was just messing around. Turns out he was serious?]
[Even if she did graduate from Solmare Medical College, she just finished school-how skilled could she really be?]
[The patient’s already seen specialists and tried conventional treatments, all to no avail. And she thinks she can fix it? Seriously?]
[How can she use someone else’s health just to get attention? She’s turning into one of those attention-seekers I can’t stand] [Alicia hasn’t even checked yet-how are you guys already jumping to conclusions and calling it a stunt?]
[For real! I totally trust Alicia, no way she’d fake something like this just for clout]
[Team Alicia all the way!]
And just like that, the live chat blew up-everyone was arguing about whether Alicia actually knew her stuff or if she was just showing off for the cameras.
[AliciaHeals] even shot up the trending list.
Jason didn’t pay for any of this-with the show already so popular, controversial topics like this just naturally blew up only.
