Baffled, Matthew fixed his gaze on Jerome. "You''ve got all this fancy tech, so what''s the problem? Even if you have an issue, you should consult the prostheticspany. Why are youing to me?"


    Jerome''s wrinkled face sported a bitter smile. "You''ve never used a prosthetic, so you don''t know the struggle. Sure, high-tech stuff is impressive, but it''s just not the same as having your own. It doesn''t feel right at all, and sometimes it even feels like torture."


    How was it agonizing? Matthew gaped at Jerome. How could it feel like torture? Was it the same for Annika?


    "Can you give me the details of what''s going on? That way, I can help you better."


    Honestly, Matthew was pretty intrigued by the experience of using a bionic manhood.


    Jerome sighed. "With the prosthetic, I can do whatever I want. If I picture it in my head, it can keep going. But every time I''m done, my skin''s red and swollen as though it got sanded.


    "My skin feels like it''s going toe off, and peeing bes painful and difficult. Typically, it''llst more than two weeks. I''m wondering if you can help me out with it."


    Everything clicked in Matthew''s mind all at once. He finally understood the warning stated in Ninera Progeny Form. Sleeping around too much indeed numbed the pleasure and caused swelling.


    Surprisingly, the side effects were simr to the overuse of bionic genitalia.


    "You can''t escape the suffering with your instrument. Taking meds to reduce swelling isn''t a great solution either.


    "Honestly, I think you should remove the bionic manhood. Once you do, I can treat your impotence. You''ll be able to do it twice a month after that. Any more than this, and your body can''t handle it."


    Jerome was utterly shocked and looked like a deer caught in headlights. "Are you saying my erectile dysfunction can be resolved? I''ve tried everything from traditional medicine to modern medicine, but I can''t find a cure. I waspletely out of options, so I ended up using bionic genitalia. It''s been a rough journey."


    Matthew was at a loss for words. Annika and Jerome had gone through hell for that. What was the point?


    After thinking for a moment, Matthew suggested, "You just can''t stop yourself from hunting for a woman, huh?"


    Jerome shook his head. "We only live once, so I need to have some fun on the side. Otherwise, what''s the point of all the effort to make all this money?


    "I just can''t resist women. Even if it feels like torture every time, it boosts my ego.


    If you can treat my condition, I''m happy to pay more."


    Matthew had Ninera Progeny


    Form, so he was pretty confident that he could fix Jerome''s problem. The only question was how much he should charge.


    A director''s sry wasn''t going to be that high. But if Jerome could afford a bionic limb, he clearly wasn''t doing too badly.


    Matthew didn''t mention how much the consultation fee would be. He just held up one finger.


    Jerome nodded. "Ten million dors sounds good to me. When can you start my treatment?"


    Matthew felt like he had asked for too little. He was about to say something when his phone started ringing.


    Jerome said with a grin, "Feel free to take the call, Dr. Grant."


    Matthew pulled out his phone and nced at it. Upon seeing that the caller was Wyatt, Matthew tapped on the answer button.


    Holding the phone up to his ear, he could hear Wyattughing at him.


    "Where are you at? Are you still trying to get inside Arcadia? If


    can''t even make it into Arcadia e


    you''ve got no right to be asking me for those forms."
