"Well, Helen, I need your help right now, which is why I'm here!" Bruce spread his hands with a bitter smile, looking at Helen. "You mentioned in your last email that you've discovered a new method?"

"Yes, Bruce!" Helen's eyes lit up with excitement. "I don't mean to brag, but I've made some pretty astonishing breakthroughs recently."

"Yes, Helen, I know, I've heard about some of your miracles. Even I've caught wind of it. People are even calling you a mutant." Bruce couldn't help but chuckle, "So, what exactly is going on?"

"It all started with this incredible Devil Fruit shop." Helen eagerly recounted how she had witnessed the miraculous healing of Deadpool's disfigured face and how she ate the Heal-Heal fruit, which granted her the ability to heal others.

"Devil Fruits? The ability to heal others?" Bruce was dumbfounded after hearing it all. If anyone else had told him this, he might have burst out laughing. 

'Who would have believed in something as fruits that give people superpowers? That was just too far-fetched, absurd even!'

"Bruce, I know how crazy this sounds. I had the same reaction when I first heard about the Devil Fruits." Helen sighed, explaining patiently as she saw the confusion on Bruce's face.

The more serious Helen looked, the more confused Bruce became. 'Could she really be telling the truth?' He couldn't fathom why Helen, someone he knew to be rational and methodical, would make up such a bizarre story.

But the idea of Devil Fruits still seemed too far-fetched.

"Let's put words aside, Bruce. Seeing is believing. I'm guessing your body has been giving you some trouble, right? Why don't I try to treat you and see for yourself?" Helen knew that no amount of talking would convince Bruce, so she suggested demonstrating her power directly.

"Of course, that's exactly why I came here!" Bruce shrugged, looking unsurprised. "I'm all yours today."

"Bruce, trust me, no matter what's wrong with you, I'll fix it," Helen said confidently. "I've cured over ten people with terminal illnesses. I refuse to believe your problem is worse than theirs."

"Helen, you're getting me more and more excited. So, what do I do? Do you need to take my blood?" Seeing her so confident, Bruce couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

"No, no need for blood. I don't rely on medical methods, Bruce." Helen gave him a small smile. "I just need your hand."

"My hands?"

"Yes, your hands." Helen gently took hold of both of Bruce's hands and began to activate her healing powers. Instantly, she gained full insight into his physical condition.

Bruce was utterly bewildered by her actions but suppressed his curiosity, letting her continue.

"Bruce, your body only has a few minor issues."

"Bruce, you've got some minor issues," Helen said, a frown of slight confusion crossing her face. "Your cervical spine, lumbar spine, and lungs all have some problems. You're also nearsighted, and your blood pressure is slightly elevated, but these aren't major concerns. Other than that… I haven't found anything else."

Bruce's neck and spine issues were nothing new to him. They were the result of his career—occupational hazards common among researchers. These were indeed just minor issues.

But Bruce hadn't traveled all this way for minor ailments, and he certainly didn't think Helen could diagnose them simply by holding his hands. Those were common issues any scientist could guess.

"Nothing else at all?" Bruce stared intently at Helen, pressing her for more.

Helen once again carefully scanned his body and then shook her head. "I didn't sense anything else. Oh, by the way, I've already taken care of those minor issues."

"Your body is now as healthy as it was when you were twenty, Bruce." Helen smiled at him confidently.

Bruce was completely taken aback. He didn't believe a word of it. The idea that she could heal his ailments just by holding his hands? 'Nah, that's just absurd.'

But oddly enough, he did feel a bit better.

"Helen, are you serious? Sorry, I'm just really confused right now." Bruce scratched his head, furrowing his brows as he stared at her. "What exactly is going on here... Wait a minute!" Before Helen could respond, Bruce suddenly froze.

If the neck and spine issues weren't immediately noticeable, he could feel another change in his body with absolute clarity—his vision.

His surroundings had become crystal clear like he was wearing glasses.

Bruce Banner was known to be nearsighted, though his prescription wasn't severe, so he usually didn't wear glasses. He only put them on during scientific research or other tasks requiring focused concentration. Usually, his vision wasn't sharp.

But now…

Bruce hastily pulled out his glasses and put them on. Suddenly, the world, once clear, became blurry. When he took them off, everything became sharp again.

After testing it several times, Bruce's eyes widened in disbelief. "My eyesight…"

"Yes, Bruce, I've already cured your nearsightedness," Helen replied, chuckling as she watched his expression of surprise.
