Chapter 52
Haley withdrew her gaze, her voice was cold, and her eyes were filled with stagnant indifference as if she had never known him. She only treated him as a patient and performed her duties as a doctor.
Jason saw it, and he was in a good mood when he opened the door, but he turned cold again.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Jason’s face was gloomy, and he swept over her wet head and body that looked a little embarrassed.
She was wearing the same outfit she wore to his company in the afternoon. It was nothing special, but when she was with him, at least she was clean and fresh at that time. Why was she like this now? Was she robbed or what? She looked so pitiful!
Also, what happened to her face?
Jason stared at her gloomily. Her face was quite pretty. Although it was not as glamorous and charming as Marry’s, her facial features were also very delicate and attractive, especially the pair of watery apricot eyes, which were clear and bright like gems. People would be amazed when looking at her eyes.
But what was going on now? Why she looked so terrible now?
“It’s okay. When I came here just now, it was just windy.” Haley explained lightly, without any emotion.
Of course, she wouldn’t think that this man cared about her by asking this sentence. It was like a joke. It was more reasonable to say that he was afraid that she would be stimulated and emotionally unstable, which would influence her to give him acupuncture.
Haley fluttered a stray strand of hair on her forehead and became impatient, “Have you made up your mind? Where should I give you acupuncture?”
Jason, “…”
Although he was a little sullen at the woman’s indecision, in the end, he didn’t make a sound anymore. He lifted his foot out of the study and went to the next door.
Haley saw it and followed behind him. Two minutes later, in a typical large bedroom decorated in black, white, and gray, Haley saw the man bring her in, pick up the remote control, and turn on the heater.
Haley paused for a moment, ‘Is this his bedroom?’
She immediately felt uncomfortable for a while, and even thinking that there was another woman living in this place, she felt a strong disgust from the bottom of her heart.
However, what made her a little strange was that when the man went to the closet to get the thin blanket, Haley saw that the closet he opened was all men’s shirts and suits, while there were no women’s clothes at all. Why?
She was stunned, and before she could take a closer look, a white towel was thrown at her.
“I don’t have women’s clothes here, use this to wipe your head.” After a pause, he seemed to realize that he cared about her too much, so he added with an annoyed expression, “Don’t get sick. It will be passed on to the children!”
Haley was speechless.
She stood there holding the towel for a while, then wrapped it around her head and slowly wiped it.
In such a season, after the rain, it was really easy to get sick, especially for people like Haley who were not in good health. Although she survived, her three children were born prematurely. Even if she was iron, her body could not stand it as she had become much weaker since she had given birth to three kids.
So, she quickly wiped her hair this time. After wiping her hair for a while, as the temperature of the air conditioner in the room rose, Haley finally felt more comfortable, so after she saw that the man was already lying down on the sofa, he also came over with a needle pack.
“Did you sleep today?”
“No.”
“What about the medicine?”
“I have taken medicine.”
A few words back and forth were completely the communication between the doctor and the patient.
After Haley asked his own question, he handed it over, “Give me your hand and let me take your pulse first.”
Jason, “…”
Lying there, he looked sideways at the woman’s wrist with a hint of red. And her slender fingertips stretched out. After a while, he moved his arm out.
He felt it quite strange. Because in his impression, this woman was still in the way she married him back then. At that time, she was only 19 years old. After seeing him, she was completely flustered with a childish little face. She obeyed and even dared not to raise her head to look at him.
So when did she become so calm?
Jason couldn’t even see any sign of her previous cowardice the moment two fingers with a cold touch came over.
“When did you learn this?”
“What?”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Haley, who was diagnosing his pulse, heard this sentence, her consciousness was retracted from her fingertips, and she glanced at him.
“You mean acupuncture?”
“Yes, I remember you didn’t study medicine before. Why did you suddenly do this?”
Jason’s eyes lightly stared at his hand that had just been pulsed, and there was still a little coolness there, like the gust of wind that squeezed in through the gap of the glass window. It was not so strong, but the touch was very obvious.
“It seemed that Mr. Black has a bad memory. You forgot that my grandfather’s family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine? My mother studied Chinese medicine with my grandfather since she was a child, and when she grew up, she inherited his career. If she hadn’t married my father, She should be the heir to the Brown family.”
Haley said with a slight sarcasm at the corner of her mouth as she pulled out a long, thin needle from the needle bag.
Jason was speechless. Indeed, he forgot about this. Her uncle was indeed running a Chinese pharmacy.
But unfortunately, Aidan didn’t pay too much attention to the pharmacy. The Brown Family used to be a wealthy family, but it got worse and worse when Haley’s uncle took it over.
If it weren’t for his wife, Wendy, to support him, their career could have gone bankrupt.
Jason stopped embarrassing himself and concentrated on waiting for the woman to puncture himself.
“Well…”
Sure enough, in less than two seconds, after a tingling pain came from the top of his head, the numbness spread under his scalp again.
Haley looked down at him coldly, “Hold it!”
Jason, “…”
“Damn woman, I didn’t say I won’t endure it!”
After several needles in a row, finally, Jason’s head which hurt all day was relieved a lot.
Once relieved, his mood improved, so he began to ask again, “Then what have you done besides this in the past few years abroad? I mean academically.”
“Academically?” When Haley heard this, the corners of her mouth became even more sarcastic, ” Mr. Black, I have been abroad in recent years to survive, not to travel, and I have no time to pursue any studies.”
“Then what do you mean, after you didn’t pass the exam in China, you went outside and never went to school again?”
“Yeah. I’m just a high school student. How about it? Mr. Black, do you regret letting me treat you now and letting me step into your noble house?”
Haley finally couldn’t take it anymore, she put down the needle in her hand, and her tone became very sharp as if the thorns all over her body were picked up again.
