Chapter 762
Dr. Weir activated the silent mode on her phone before keeping it in his pocket. "This guy caused so much headache for you" he snapped, "and he needs a lesson! You must listen to me for the next following days, and you can't get online nor surf the internet. I'll watch over you in the office, too!" 1
The main reason he was willing to teach Charmine was not that he thought she was gifted. He mainly wanted to distract Charmine from seeing the mess online.
Charmine was taken aback.
Just like that, her phone was confiscated and she could not contact Anthony.
Chris slept soundly while Anthony looked for him throughout the night.
It was only the next morning when the worn-out Anthony returned to wash up, that he saw Chris fast asleep on the bed...
Charmine, on the other hand, was forced to sleep early. When she woke up early in the morning, Dr. Weir handed her a thick ancient book. 1
This ancient book recorded the exact locations of the 720 acupoints in the human body as well as their functions.
"As long as you can memorize this book, you’ll have completed fifty percent of the course," added Dr. Weir.
In order to perform the acupuncture, one need only understand the location and usage of each point, some principles, and then to perform the procedure.
As for the strength, it was all down to the 'feel'... 1
Dr. Weir had initially assumed Charmine needed a long time to learn it, but it shockingly took her only ten days to memorize all 80,000 words in the book! 1
When Charmine walked up to him and returned the book, the startled Dr.
Weir asked, "You learned them all?"
"You may test me," Charmine answered.
"Point LU Eleven," began Dr. Weir.
"It belongs to the LU Meridian, located on the outer side of the thumb, twenty-five point four millimeters away from the nail. The needles have to be directed from the outside..."
Charmine answered without flinching.
She recited with familiarity, not missing one word!
Dr. Weir was over the moon. "How... How is this possible? There are eighty thousand words! Some people can't even memorize the front page in ten days!"
'To be honest with you, I've been quite capable from a young age. I’m quite gifted in many ways."
Charmine remembered pronouncing consonants and vowels that others found hard to utter during her primary school years. She could also easily get full marks in exams. 1
She could feel that her IQ was different from the rest, but Tiffany would always say to her, "Charmine, don't come off too strong. The Jordans hate you so much, and if you steal the spotlight of the other children, they'll hurt you somehow...! Do you know, we have a cousin who accidentally died..."
Back then, she was merely an adopted daughter who had to live her days cautiously and humbly.
Furthermore, having a high intelligence quotient did not mean having a high emotional quotient. Tiffany's dark whispers scared Charmine witless as Charmine tried her best to minimize her sense of existence.
Eventually, she could feel her intelligence quotient deteriorating.
Everything changed five years ago when she passed out after being kicked. Perhaps the heavens pitied her, or perhaps it was the blessing she received from not dying, but Charmine had a significant breakthrough when she woke up in Africa.
