Chapter 890
Although the therapist was often yelled at by Charlie, he still nodded his head furiously in fear.
“Mister Charlie, don’t be mistaken, that isn’t what I mean…”
“If you don’t mean that, why do you keep asking me to practice? I have done it for so long, yet I don’t even have the strength to get up. So what use is there practicing?”
“Mister Charlie…”
“F*ck off!” Charlie picked up his walking stick and threw it at the therapist. The therapist was so frightened he hugged his head and fled.
Meredith never entered previously because Charlie did not like her accompanying him in physiotherapy. He did not want her to see him in a wretched state.
However, at that moment, Meredith could no longer care about anything else. She rushed inside and hugged Charlie, comforting him, “Charlie, don’t be like that. Calm down, alright?”
Charlie was stunned when he saw her. Then, he pushed her aside and yelled, “What are you here for? Get out! Get out!”
“Charlie, how could I leave seeing you like that? Please calm down first, then I’ll leave, okay?”
Meredith reached out to help him up. “Come, I’ll help you up.”
“I don’t need your help!” Charlie pushed her away and looked at her. “Meredith, look at me. Do you find it funny? Do you pity me? Are you even more unwilling to leave me?”
“Charlie, it’s not like I haven’t seen you in this state before. I am your wife. Why are you afraid for me to see you?” Meredith cupped his handsome face in her hands and said seriously. “It’s fine. We’ll take it slowly. I’ll practice with you, okay?”
Charlie calmed down a little by her tender gaze, but he still shook his head. “It’s pointless. No matter how hard I try, it’s pointless. I beg you to stop forcing me, alright?”
“Charlie, we‘re asking you to do physiotherapy not because we want to force you to stand up, but because physiotherapy is good for your body. If you don’t do it, your body will deteriorate, do you understand?” Meredith leaned in and hugged him. “Okay, okay. We won’t do it today. We’ll do it another day, okay?”
