Chapter 19

Everything unfolded as if it were from a novel.

—This is absurd.

She had merely come out for a breath of fresh air, and yet she encountered such an incident!

After all, in a chaotic place like New York, she had never encountered any problems!

But it was precisely in Seattle, a city known as "the most livable and workable city in the world," that she encountered such an incident, which was indeed ironic.

There was nothing worse than this.

A burly man walked over, holding a dagger in his hand.

However, the man who appeared much weaker in comparison suddenly dashed forward and punched the burly man, who then clutched his stomach and fell to the ground.

At this moment, Katherine was released, and the two thugs followed, stabbing with their daggers.

But the man nimbly dodged them. Before Katherine could even understand what was happening, he punched one of them to the ground and then kicked the other away with a flying kick.

"Are you okay?"

The man walked over.

"Thank you so much."

"I'll call the police," he said.

"No, that's not necessary." It would be troublesome, and in this era, American police were almost synonymous with leeches. She might be fine here, but once at the police station, it could turn into a tragedy.

"Then I'll take you to safety... Where do you live?"

"Over there, that hotel."

The man turned out to be of Chinese descent, but his English seemed quite good. However, why did his face seem so familiar? It was as if she had seen him somewhere before.

Soon, Katherine was taken to the hotel.

"My name is Katherine Edison. Thank you so much for your help this time."

"It's a small matter, no need to worry about it. I'll be going now."

"By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Bruce Lee."

After saying that, he left.

Katherine finally let out a sigh of relief.

Wait a moment...

This man's face was very familiar, but Katherine couldn't quite place where she had seen him.

Bruce Lee...?

Katherine suddenly realized.

She had once thought that Lee Jun-fan had graduated from Edison Technical School in Seattle this year!

Related to Edison, 1960, Seattle.

The only celebrity associated with this was Bruce Lee.

Wait a moment...

Had she just been rescued by Bruce Lee?

Bruce Lee hadn't gone far, and Katherine immediately chased after him.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Bruce Lee?" Katherine asked immediately.

Bruce Lee found it strange but could only nod.

"I'm your fan, please sign for me... please!"

Bruce Lee's stage name was first used in 1948 in the film "The Kid." Although he was only 20 years old, he was already a relatively popular actor in Hong Kong. However, it would be a few more years before he became active in the United States.

Katherine was very excited at this moment.

But Bruce Lee was also a bit puzzled.

He had indeed acted in many films in Hong Kong, and he had just completed a new film before coming to the United States. However, his fame hadn't yet crossed the ocean.

Nevertheless, he still signed for Katherine.

In any case, the matter was resolved perfectly.

The moment she returned to the hotel, Katherine changed from a dress to pants.

It had to be said that being kneed by that man was simply terrible.

To be honest, Katherine didn't dislike dresses, but after this incident, she began to feel averse to them.

She carefully put away the autograph, which had significant sentimental value.

Bruce Lee hadn't yet created Jeet Kune Do, but he still practiced Wing Chun, and his master, Yip Man, was still alive.

It was a pity that Bruce Lee later died suddenly, which was truly unfortunate.

There were many theories about Bruce Lee's death, including drug allergies, gang assassinations, and Japanese involvement. The official cause of death was cerebral edema due to an allergic reaction to pain medication.

Regardless of the reason, all were plausible, making it difficult to doubt, and this was precisely why the matter was so perplexing.

"But for now, he's fine... and there's nothing I can do about it..."

Katherine could only tell herself this.

After all, the incident was still 13 years away, and she couldn't do much about it.

However, if she could really help him, Katherine wouldn't want such a martial artist and superstar to fall.

Katherine was truly frustrated that she hadn't asked for Bruce Lee's contact information, as she had been too focused on getting his autograph at the time.

After that, Katherine didn't see Bruce Lee again. Her family traveled extensively, visiting various attractions, and after Christmas and New Year's, they finally flew back to New York.

However, Katherine felt very uncomfortable.

She was very beautiful, and every time she went out, many boys would look at her, but she didn't mind. Now, whenever a man looked at her, she almost got goosebumps.

It wasn't until she returned to school that her dazed state gradually improved. After all, there were only a few male teachers in the school.

Although her condition improved, she still felt mentally distracted.

Her mind was constantly filled with the events of that day.

The worst part wasn't this, but the fact that she was constantly imagining what would have happened if she hadn't met Bruce Lee!

Oh God, she had been thinking about this all the time, and even dreaming about it!

She almost felt like she was about to break down.

"Kate?"

"Ah!"

At the meeting of the Angel Fashion Design Company, Katherine, who had been daydreaming, was pulled back to reality by her colleagues.

"What's wrong with you?" Lily asked with concern.

After all, she had been like this since the start of the semester.

"Nothing," she smiled.

After the meeting, Ada came over.

"Kate, what's been going on lately?"

"Nothing, I just feel... uncomfortable."

"Should you go see Mr. Bitman again? His treatment was quite effective last time. Maybe a hospital check-up would be better? It could be a physical issue that needs treatment."

Katherine shook her head.

"No, I'm quite averse to men right now."

Indeed, Katherine now felt that she would get goosebumps if a man touched her... She hadn't expected the problem to be so severe.

Damn, why was she like this?

Katherine believed that she could have normal interactions with men, but now, the aftereffects of almost being assaulted had clearly erupted.

"Treatment? What are you talking about?"

Jenny approached.

"Kate isn't feeling well, and I suggested she see a psychologist. I know a hypnotist who is very effective, but Kate says she's averse to men," Ada replied.

"If that's the case, maybe I can help. Although I still suggest you get a medical check-up, if it's purely a psychological issue, I can help you."

Jenny knew hypnotherapy?

This unassuming top student... was so capable?

"My parents are both doctors. My mother is a surgeon, and my father is a psychologist with expertise in this area. Kate, if you have any problems, just tell me, and I can help you."
