Meanwhile, it was already nighttime in Aurous Hill.Elaine had already prepared dinner and had invited Charlie and Claire to the dining table. At the same time, she could not help but complain, “It’s already eight o’clock, so why isn’t that b*stard, Jacob, home yet? I wonder where he has gone to now!”Charlie said casually, “Mom, Dad is the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association now, so he must be busy. Please be considerate.”Elaine said disdainfully, “Why should I be considerate of him? Don’t you think I know anything about his ability? I think the people in charge of the Calligraphy and Painting Association must be blind to let him be the vice president!”Just as she was talking, Jacob opened the door and walked in.Claire greeted him quickly and said, “Dad, wash your hands then come and have dinner!”Jacob asked casually, “What kind of dishes are there? Is there any meat?”Elaine cursed and said, “There is a lid, do you want to chew it? If you’re willing,
“What do you know?!” Jacob looked at her with disdain, then said to Charlie, “By the way, Charlie, the Calligraphy and Painting Association will be holding an ancient calligraphy and painting exhibition in Aurous Hill soon. The standards of this calligraphy and painting exhibition are very high. The city is very supportive of this as well, so it should be a big move for our country! We might even invite the Central Oskia Media to cover the entire event!”Charlie asked curiously, “It will be such a big event? Aurous Hill is not considered to be the base for calligraphy and painting, so wouldn’t it be too forceful to hold such a big event here?”Jacob said, “It doesn’t matter if Aurous Hill is not the base for calligraphy and painting. It will be fine as long as Aurous Hill can exhibit outstanding calligraphy and painting works, so we are collecting works of famous artists from collectors throughout Aurous Hill now. Our first step is to raise funds internally. Our president and the oth
Meanwhile, at Aurous University.The freshmen at Aurous University had completed their registration process, class placement, and assignment of counselors. The university issued orientation uniforms to all students in the afternoon, and the two-week orientation would officially begin in the morning tomorrow.Due to the paramilitary management after orientation started, both Vera and Claudia chose to live on campus. Otherwise, they would have to get up and gather at around six o’clock in the morning every day, or they would not be able to get to the university in time. The two of them were chatting in the dormitory while tidying up their beds and personal belongings. Since her family was killed, Claudia had become very cautious toward others and did not like to communicate with others. When she was in Canada, the only two people she trusted were Mrs. Lewis and Stephanie. However, Claudia, who was usually taciturn, somehow had a lot of common topics with Vera. No matter what they
Vera was well aware that her headache was the sequelae of the last psychological hint that Charlie placed on her. There was no other way to deal with this situation other than to wait for it to recover slowly. Claudia thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and said, “By the way, Veron, do you still remember Charlie?”Vera was taken aback. She knew that Charlie had tried to erase the process of questioning her last time, but he had failed to erase all her memories of him. Therefore, she pretended to be curious and asked, “Is it the guy who came to see you off last time?”Claudia nodded and said, “Yes. I heard Stephanie mention that Charlie is very capable. Everyone in Aurous Hill who knows him addresses him as Master Wade. He seems to know Feng Shui and has some medical skills as well. Why don’t I ask Charlie to come over and take a look at your condition?”“Huh?!” Although Vera wanted to get acquainted with Charlie through Claudia, she did not expect the opportun
Charlie did not expect that Claudia would call him because she wanted him to treat Vera’s headache. However, he recalled the last time he had seen Vera. He had indeed increased the amount of Reiki when he placed the psychological hint on her, and it seemed as if it had caused considerable sequelae to Vera. Charlie knew that it was because he had used too much Reiki on her, so he could not shirk his responsibility now that Claudia was calling to ask for his help.Therefore, he said to Claudia, “Wait for me for a moment, then. I will drive over now.”Claudia said happily, “Okay, Charlie. Call me when you arrive!”“Okay.” Charlie agreed and then said to Claire, “Honey, I have to go out and do something. I will be back soon.”Claire asked curiously, “It’s already past eight o’clock. Who is looking for you so late at night?”Charlie did not hide the truth from Claire and said, “It’s Claudia. Her classmate encountered a little trouble, so she wants me to go over and help.”Claire a
Vera smiled faintly and said in a moderate tone, “You don’t need to tell me this as long as you can convince yourself.”Claudia could not hide her panic and said, “I won’t continue talking nonsense with you anymore. I’ll go down and wait for Charlie to arrive so I can bring him up when he is here.”Vera asked her, “Has your brother arrived?”Claudia said without hesitation, “Not yet, but I will go down and wait for him for a while so as not to waste time by going down only after he has arrived.”Vera stopped teasing Claudia and nodded slightly as she said, “Thank you, Claudia. I won’t be going down with you as I’m having a really severe headache. Please let him know on my behalf, lest he think that I have no manners.”Claudia nodded and said, “Okay, you can just wait in the dormitory. I’ll inform the dormitory manager and bring Charlie up. Charlie is very capable, so your migraine will definitely be cured once he’s here!”After saying that, Claudia hurriedly left the dormitory an
After Claudia pushed the bedroom door open, Charlie saw Vera, who looked a little pale, frowning as she sat on the chair in front of the desk.When Vera saw Charlie come in, she quickly stood up as she spoke a little awkwardly and weakly, “Mr. Wade, I’m really sorry to trouble you to come over so late at night…”Charlie looked at Vera and said with a smile, “Miss Lavor, you don’t have to be so polite with me. It’s only right for me to come over since you’re Claudia’s roommate.”Claudia hurriedly said, “Charlie, you don’t need to address Veron so formally. You can just call her Veron like I do.”After saying that, she said to Vera, “Veron, Charlie is ten years older than me, and he’s almost eleven years older than you. You can just treat him like your brother and call him Charlie as well.”Vera was slightly startled. She hesitated for a moment before she addressed Charlie in a somewhat reserved manner, “Charlie…”Charlie smiled happily and said, “Since you’re already calling me Ch
Charlie did not care about this.He knew that checking Vera’s pulse was basically meaningless. Her headache was not because she was ill but because she had been injured by his Reiki. The best way for him to treat her would be for him to use some Reiki to repair the damage to her brain. However, after Charlie thought about it, Vera’s origin was unknown. The fact that she had the deceitful ring proved that even if she hadn’t mastered Reiki, she must understand what Reiki was. In other words, she had grown up in such an environment, so she should know what Reiki was and should be able to tell at a glance if Reiki was used.Moreover, Charlie speculated that Vera most likely did not remember him, so he would be actively exposing himself if he were to transfer Reiki directly into her body.Therefore, Charlie’s idea was to pretend to check her pulse and then give her half a Healing Pill which was not worth anything to him anyway. Furthermore, Charlie was not worried that the Healin
