Hayley’s POV:
“Mm,” Benjamin responded calmly. “We’re both men. Nothing to be shy about. I’ll assist you.”
“But I don’t need an assistant,” I replied coolly.

Benjamin frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then adjusted his words seriously. “Then let’s just say I want to observe your technique.”
I chuckled and shook my head. “You’re acting weird.”
But I didn’t dwell on it. I stepped into the bathroom and stood beside the bathtub.
Taking out a set of silver needles from my needle case, I began inserting them one by one into various points on Peter’s upper body.
After inserting about half the needles, I said, “Stand up.”
“Huh?” Peter looked at me, bewildered.
“Stand up,” I repeated, my tone firmer this time.
“Hay–Hayley, cough, cough.” Peter let out a few awkward coughs, clearly embarrassed.
He hesitated before changing the subject. “You … you’re probably not very experienced in treating male- related conditions, right?
–“Besides I’m doing fine in that area. There’s no need for … for needle therapy there, right?”
I tilted my head, eyeing him skeptically. “You’re ‘doing fine, yet you got beaten up this badly by a few wolves of the same rank?”
He lowered his head in silence, looking thoroughly ashamed.
And he should be. As my brother–Hayley’s brother, an alpha no less–getting bullied like this was beyond humiliating.
I grew impatient as I watched him hesitate and squirm for so long without moving. “I’m a professional. A patient is just a patient–there’s no gender difference.”
“Or … are you hiding something?”
“Who’s hiding anything?!” Peter immediately retorted loudly. “Who said I have something to hide? I just … I just don’t want to scare you guys!”
After a pause, he looked at me with a pitiful expression. “Don’t you understand what ‘embarrassment‘ is?”
Despite his grumbling, he eventually surrendered, let go of his hesitation, and slowly stood up, holding onto the bathtub’s edge for support.
I sat calmly to the side, just a second away from checking Peter’s groin.
A large hand suddenly covered my eyes!

Benjamin grabbed a pair of underwear from the rack, tossed it into the tub, and said coldly, “Put it on.”
Peter held the underwear and looked at Benjamin, then at me, his face full of frustration. “Hayley, do I put it
on or not?”
I couldn’t help but laugh. Now I understood why Benjamin insisted on staying in the room.
“Put it on,” I said, amused. “I’ll focus on the other needle therapy points first. As for that area… you can just take medicine. Let Benjamin pay for it.”
Since he interrupted my treatment, he could cover the cost instead.
Peter turned to Benjamin expectantly.
“I’ll pay,” Benjamin said with a straight face. “However much is needed, I’ll buy it all until you’re fully healed.”
“Now that’s generosity.” Peter immediately grabbed the underwear and put it on without hesitation.
Benjamin withdrew his hand and crossed his arms behind his back, his expression as composed as ever- like nothing had happened.
I shook my head with a smile and resumed the needle therapy session.
Once I inserted the final needle, I instructed, “Get back in the water.”
Peter sank into the water again, but the moment he did, his entire body shuddered like he’d been electrocuted.
I knew it was from the pain.
“To accelerate the absorption of the medicine, rapidly strengthen your body, and enhance your wolf’s power, this is necessary,” I explained.
“Just bear with it,” I encouraged.
“I’m fine,” Peter gritted his teeth, forcing a composed expression. “I can handle this kind of pain!”
“Oh,” I replied nonchalantly. “You’ll have to stay in there for two hours.”
“Ah?!” Peter’s voice cracked, and he looked at me in shock.
Ignoring him, I took Benjamin’s hand and strolled out of the bathroom without looking back.
“Hey? Hayley? Benjamin? You’re just going to leave me like this?!” Peter’s miserable voice echoed behind us.
Benjamin and I exchanged a knowing smile, pretending to not hear him.
We went to the living room and sat on the couch. Facing Benjamin, I studied his face carefully and narrowed my eyes.
“Well, well, Mr. Southwell. I didn’t expect you to be this scheming. Were you jealous of Peter? Ho brother.”

Benjamin’s gaze darkened slightly. As soon as I finished speaking, he reached behind me with his long arms and pulled me forcefully into his embrace.
