<strong>Enzo's Clinic</strong><br/><br/>Like most psychopaths, Enzo had the ability to be quite charming when it suited his needs. The need to not be on Maria's bad side was ever present. And so despite the thought that had been planted in his head by his dear sister, he made no motion to tamper with the woman before him now.<br/><br/>The signs of her distress were evident when he mentioned the events of the afternoon.

Most traditional Chinese medicine is balderdash, of course, but there are bits and pieces that modern science could learn from. Could I get you to lie down on the table here, please? Face down."<br/><br/>Poor Belinda. He suspected that she was bisexual, in her previous life. A pity, to have something you desired so close at hand, and yet unattainable.<br/><br/><br/>
