Chapter 003 Jerk in Calsis’s Residence
Charlie Calsis saw the acupuncturist standing at the door blankly and he broke the silence, “What’s your name?” His voice was attractive but also reverential and dignified. Theresa lowered her head. She thought that she was being impolite when she stared blankly at him. She answered, “I am Theresa Cameron. It is my name card.”
“Dr. Cameron, you may begin.” Said Charlie in a low and calm voice. He took her name card but he didn’t read it. Theresa cast him a glance and put her kit on the ground. She wasn’t an acupuncturist at first. When she was pregnant with Leonard and Ben, she quit her job and planned to take care of the children at home whole-heartedly. After the boys were born, she apprenticed herself with Leo, who was the grandfather of a friend of Cristina.
Later, Leo found Theresa talented in acupuncture and passed on all his knowledge on acupuncture to her. Leo could be considered as an authority on acupuncture. Many people trusted in his skills.
But he was getting older and didn’t have that much of energy to treat as many people. It wasn’t the first time that Theresa had done acupuncture, but she was extremely nervous today, especially when Charlie’s assistant Jonathan was still staring at her as if she was to hurt Charlie. Fortunately, the treatment rounded off. Theresa finally breathed a sigh of relief. While putting away her things, she said, “It’s best to keep the length of one acupuncture around half an hour. I will come again in the evening. When I inserted the needle in, I found Mr. Calsis’s muscle is very taut. It is probably because the muscle has not yet completely recovered from its injuries caused by the car accident. Keep the acupuncture for a week, and it should get better.”
“Get better?” Said Jonathan who was standing aside. He looked at Theresa in disbelief and doubted whether she was talking nonsense.
“You mean that it is possible that Mr. Calsis’s legs will recover?” Theresa asked in confusion, “Didn’t you ask me to come here to help Mr. Calsis restore his health?”
Jonathan heard her words and showed joy on his face. He cast Master Calsis a glance surprisingly and continued to speak to Theresa, “If Mr. Calsis truly recovers, we will thank you.”
Jonathan was taking a helpless attempt to cure Master Calsis. But he didn’t expect that luck actually came to them. He just hoped that this Dr. Careron wasn’t boasting for better pay.
Theresa came out of Charlie’s room and Brenda was waiting for her at the door. Brenda led Theresa downstairs and asked, “Have you had breakfast? You can have some before leaving.” “I’m good.” Said Theresa, “Cristina is waiting for me. I gotta go. I’ll come back later.”
