“What is bothering him?” Theresa had a headache. It seemed that Charlie needed people to coax him every time.
“Go and check on him,” Jonathan advised her.
Met with his expectant gaze, she gave in and entered the room. Charlie was standing at the window. He was back
on his feet again although he couldn’t walk normally yet. Theresa was aware that his legs were fine. He couldn’t
walk only because he had been confined to the wheelchair for too long. His myasthenia would lessen with his daily
practice.
She looked at him and fell into a trance. In her impression, he had always been in a wheelchair. It seemed to be a
part of him. This was the first time she had seen him standing. She almost doubted this was not the same Charlie

tall that she had to look up. His figure was upright, and his air was kingly.
She broke the silence with a cough. “You want to see me?”
Charlie looked back with a hint of indifference in his deep eyes. He put his hand on the wall to support himself,
walked to the
side, and sat down. Only then did she go over and sat down on a sofa in front of him.
“I wonder how I offended you this time, Mr. Calsis.”
“According to Jonathan, Keith wants you to go to his place,” Charlie said.
Theresa remembered that Jonathan walked by when she was talking to Keith downstairs. She couldn’t believe that
he was a snitch.
She hummed, “Yeah, he told me to find him when you recover. He’ll find me a job. What’s wrong?”
“Why did he suddenly want to find you a job? Does he have a crush on you?”
“What’s your problem?” Theresa felt helpless, “How did you get that idea? He is a therapist like me and is quite
famous.
Compared with him, I’m just a nobody. He wants to help me only because we learned from the same teacher.”
In fact, it was Brenda who introduced her to work here. Brenda had served the Calsis family for many years and
enjoyed high status. She was trusted. Cristina talked about Theresa, and then Brenda introduced her to work here.
Usually, it was hard for Theresa to find clients who gave her such high salaries. Most of her former clients came
from Leo. It was a different story for Keith. His business was booming, and he was usually up to his neck. It would
be perfect if Theresa went to give him a hand.
Charlie asked, “You want to hit the road before I’m cured?”

“Curing you is the doctor’s job,” Theresa reasoned. “My job is to help you recuperate. What? Do you plan to stay in
a wheelchair for the rest of your life? I guess that you’ll recover in a month.”
Charlie was also looking forward to it. At the same time, he remembered their agreement. They would get divorced
when he
recovered. He made no comments and just stared at her. Theresa touched her face.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I’m going to work,” he said.
“Go ahead.”
“Aren’t you going with me?” He was not happy about her response. She was idle anyway. Why wouldn’t she go with
him? Theresa then remembered Rose who had just been sent to the hospital. It seemed Charlie hadn’t learned
about it. ‘Rose fell off the stairs today. She has been sent to the hospital,” she said.
“Is it serious?” Charlie asked with concern. He had watched Rose grow up after all.
