Dirk Carter's baffling statement startled Zoey Moss.

She looked at Dirk Carter and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Dirk Carter squatted down, looked at the fish in the pond, and asked, "Sis-in-law, do you know what a lovers' tryst is?"

That statement was indeed a bit bold.

A slight hint of annoyance appeared on Zoey Moss's face.

Dirk Carter seemed indifferent and continued, "Fish can't survive without water, and water becomes stagnant without fish. It's the same with the relationship between men and women. If a woman goes without a sexual relationship for a long time, it affects her hormones, emotions, skin condition, and can even lead to gynecological problems."

"Dirk Carter, do you know what you're saying?"

Zoey Moss finally couldn't hold back.

She snapped at him.

Dirk Carter turned to look at her and asked, "Sis-in-law, is it you or Alfie Grant who has a problem?"

"Dirk Carter!"

Zoey Moss could no longer hold it in.

She raised her hand to slap Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter caught her wrist mid-air.

His fingers deftly grasped her pulse.

Zoey Moss tried to pull her hand back.

But after several attempts, it was futile.

She was just about to call for help.

Dirk Carter released her hand.

He said, "Your hormones are in chaos, anger is trapped in your heart, needing release; otherwise, your life won't last long. Sis-in-law, have you been experiencing dizziness, dreams, insomnia, and a lack of drive lately?"

Zoey Moss was stunned.

Everything Dirk Carter said was spot on.

"Yes, really, that's the case. Lately, I've been taking ginseng to boost my energy, but it's been useless."

Dirk Carter squinted his eyes and nodded.

He said, "The meridians are blocked, and no external supplements will work. Only acupuncture can solve it."

"You understand medicine?"

Zoey Moss asked in surprise.

Dirk Carter smiled and said, "My father is George Carter."

When he said this name.

Zoey Moss covered her mouth and said, "You're George Carter's son?"

Dirk Carter just nodded, and Zoey Moss grabbed his hand, then quickly let go realizing it was inappropriate.

"Dirk Carter, how long do I have left?"

Dirk Carter shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. If it continues like this, maybe one to two years."

"Can you save me?"

Facing life and death.

No one isn't anxious.

Zoey Moss's anxious expression said it all.

"I can, but the process..."

Before he could finish.

Zoey Moss excitedly said, "Dirk Carter, if you can save me, I'll do anything you want. I beg you as your sis-in-law."

"Okay, I can help you, but you must answer my question. What's going on between you and Alfie Grant?"

Hearing this question.

Zoey Moss's face darkened.

She paced over to a chair in the garden and sat down, sighed deeply, and said, "The story starts 12 years ago..."

That year Zoey Moss was 20 years old.

After graduating from a teacher's college, she started working as a teacher at an elementary school in Argent Creek County.

Looking at her current appearance, Zoey Moss in her youth was quite the beauty.

A vice principal at the school saw her youth and beauty and had bad intentions.

On a weekend, he asked her to come to the school under the pretense of a meeting, but in reality, he wanted to take advantage of her.

Zoey Moss's strong resistance thwarted him, but she couldn't keep her job.

The vice principal found an excuse to fire her.

Feeling wronged, she went to the local education bureau to file a complaint.

The person who received her was none other than the head of the Argent Creek County education bureau, Alfie Grant.

After hearing her case, Alfie Grant took serious action against the vice principal and helped Zoey Moss find another teaching job.

That year Alfie Grant was 32 and still unmarried.

Zoey Moss was quite pretty and proud, often surrounded by men wooing her, but only Alfie Grant remained indifferent to her attractions, even when she made overtures.

This only sparked Zoey Moss's competitive spirit.

Then.

She began pursuing Alfie Grant with fervor.

It's said that a woman's pursuit of a man is like a layer of gauze.

After a whole year of effort, Alfie Grant was moved by her sincerity, and they finally got together.

At this point.

Zoey Moss's face darkened further.

She slowly said, "When we were dating, we booked rooms but he never touched me. At that time, I thought he was a gentleman and liked him even more. After marriage, I was full of anticipation that we could finally... do that, but just like before, he still never touched me..."

Dirk Carter asked, "Is he unable in that aspect?"

Zoey Moss shook her head.

Her lips moved as if finding it difficult to speak.

In the end, she made up her mind and said, "The reason he doesn't touch me is not that he is unable, but because he doesn't like women!"

Boom!

It felt like a bolt from the blue.

Dirk Carter was shocked on the spot.

Scenes from earlier in the private room suddenly flashed in his mind.

A beautiful young woman lay naked in front of him, and a normal man wouldn't focus on eating but be dazzled, yet Alfie Grant seemed completely unperturbed, which Dirk Carter had attributed to his strong self-control—little did he know this was the reason.

Suddenly.

A thought flickered by.

He took a deep breath and asked, "What about Kian Holden..."

Zoey Moss nodded and said, "Over the years, he openly confessed to me that our marriage was just a front for the organization and the public. Though he never explicitly mentioned it, I know about their relationship."

It was too surprising.

Truly too surprising.

Having heard many such stories.

This was the first he had witnessed firsthand.

He looked back at Zoey Moss.

Suddenly, he felt a bit sorry for this woman.

"Sis-in-law, since you know the truth, why don't you divorce him?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Zoey Moss gave a bitter smile.

She said, "He arranged my parents and brother's jobs, how could I divorce him? Just like that, ten-plus years have passed with a blink of an eye."

"Ten-plus years? Haven't you had any sexual relations in all these years?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Zoey Moss shook her head.

Dirk Carter continued, "Couldn't you take care of it yourself? Have you tried?"

"Take care of it myself? How do I do that?"

Zoey Moss asked in confusion.

Dirk Carter was speechless.

Delilah Goodman had been separated for three and a half years, and even though she hadn't been with men, she knew how to find release, whereas the woman in front of him was already in her thirties and didn't even understand what it meant to handle it herself.

Though her age says she's a mature woman.

In essence, she's still an innocent, naive girl.

"Sis-in-law, do you want to get treated?"

Dirk Carter pondered for a moment and asked.
