The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

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 Charlie, I won't be so formal with you as well. Veron, Claudia told me that you have a severe headache. What's going on? Can you tell me why you're feeling unwell?"

When Vera heard this, she could not help but feel extremely aggrieved as she thought to herself, 'Charlie, you're such a bad person. You are the reason why I am having such a severe headache but you're actually pretending not to know anything and you're even asking me what's going on. Don't you know what's going on?'

Although Vera felt aggrieved, she did not dare to expose anything in front of Charlie, so she could only pinch her temples with one hand and say with a look of misery, "I don't know what happened. I was feeling fine, but I started having a headache out of nowhere on the day when I came to report to the university. It was a really terrible headache. It felt like countless needles were stuck in my brain and those needles were all connected in one line and there was a thread that was being pulled back and forth along that line. It was so painful that I felt as if my head was going to explode..."

After saying that, Vera added, "I've also taken a lot of painkillers over the past two days, but they have no effect on my headache at all. I even fainted after I went home."

Charlie was horrified when he heard this. He did not expect that using too much Reiki during the last psychological hint that he placed on Vera would bring such serious sequelae to Vera.

Vera was secretly thinking to herself, 'If I don't tell him this, he will never know how much pain he caused me. I hope that his conscience will suffer a little because of this!'

Charlie could not help but feel guilty when he heard this. Vera was just a seventeen-year-old girl who had almost died at the hands of the Qing Eliminating Society, and she still had to be tortured by his Reiki after she came to Oskia to study at a university to go into hiding. Life really had not been easy for her.

Therefore, Charlie did not delay things any further and said to Vera, "Veron, let me check your pulse first."

"Okay..." Vera agreed, but when she

thought of how physical contact

would inevitably be involved if

Charlie checked her pulse, she felt a little shy and asked him somewhat hesitantly, "Charlie, how are you going to check my pulse?"

Charlie did not think much. He brought another chair over, sat in front of Vera, patted his right leg, and said, “Come, put your right hand on my leg."

"What?" Vera subconsciously asked, "Shouldn't the hand be placed on the table when checking a person's pulse?"noveldrama

Charlie pointed at the desk behind her and said, "The desk is behind you and it's not that convenient. It's okay. I'm not that particular when checking pulses. I'll probably know what's going on after I check your putse." sŵnovel

"Okay, then..." Vera knew that she could not refuse, so she could only carefully reach out her hand and place it on Charlie's leg nervously.

She had never had such close contact with a man in her life, so as soon as the back of her hand touched Charlie's thigh, her heartbeat instantly accelerated, and her cheeks quickly turned red.
