Evelyn froze for a moment, looking at their heads, which were wrapped in cloth. Their hair might grow back, but their teeth certainly wouldn't.
"I need to check your hair follicles."
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Ford."
They removed the cloths from their heads, and Evelyn brought out a few bamboo chairs for them to sit on.
"Your hair loss is caused by malnutrition and a hormonal imbalance. I suggest you focus on your overall health first—get your periods regulated—and then we can address the hair problem."
"Dr. Ford, how do we regulate our periods?"
"Acupuncture, along with some internal nourishment."
"How long will the treatment take?" they asked nervously, their eyes fixed on Evelyn, a mixture of hope and fear in their gazes.
