“Are you afraid of me?” Angela asked, puzzled. Was my grandmother a medical lecturer?
She had never known this, nor had she ever heard her grandmother mention having any students.
“Sebastian, I only knew that my grandmother was a military doctor, but I never heard her mention having any students,” she said.
Sebastian was also surprised, but when he wanted to explain more to Angela, he remembered that he had only heard about it in passing and didn’t know much, so he couldn’t provide her with much information.
Angela didn’t delve into it. Since her grandmother had never mentioned it, there must be at reason why she didn’t want to bring it up. Perhaps teaching students wasn’t a pleasant
memory.
After dinner, Angela planned to clean up the dishes, but Sebastian quickly took over. “Angela, I’ll wash up. Do check on Mr. Lawson’s leg first.”
Seeing Sebastian’s anxious demeanor, Angela had to put her work aside and went over to Jonathan. She squatted down slightly, “Jonathan, I need to check the condition of your leg.”
As Jonathan remained silent and watched her, Angela took it as consent and pressed a few acupoints with her hand.
“Finished your exams?” he asked, his voice a bit hoarse.
This question sounded like an elder interrogating his youngster about their grades, and Angela became nervous. She nodded and stammered, “Yes, I’ve finished.”
“How did
you do?”
“Well… okay, I guess.” She wanted to say she did very well, but in front of a genius like Jonathan, her grades were nothing!
It was said that Jonathan had two degrees on a full scholarship. At that time, several foreign universities were vying for him.
Jonathan’s thin lips pursed slightly. “You seem… a bit afraid of me?”
Angela was like a scared person in front of him, especially obedient when they were
alone.

“No” She wanted to refute, but she looked up reluctantly in the end. “Maybe a little bit.”
Jonathan was speechless for a while before he broke into a faint smile.
Angela was taken aback. At this moment, Jonathan seemed less cold and indifferent; it was as if he was a bit gentler
After a while, she regained her composure and began to carefully examine his injured leg
He watched as Angela worked. She had fair skin, and even her well–proportioned hands were
Anyone who saw her would know what the phrase “fair, smooth skin‘ was describing
Perhaps because her skin was so pale, her fingertips had a light pink undertone, as if there were buds that hadn’t yet bloomed.
Jonathan’s gaze lingered for a moment before he turned away.
Now that he was home today, he wore cotton pants. The thin, soft fabric conveyed the warm temperature radiating from the young girl’s soft palm that left Jonathan somewhat uncomfortable. His muscles tensed.
This is weird, Why does his leg feel muscular? Logically, the muscles should have atrophied by now since the leg had not been used for years.
Angela furrowed her delicate brows, and her slender hand followed the acupoints on his leg. pressing and rubbing one by one.
The man’s shoulders shivered slightly, and he subconsciously grabbed Angela’s hand, which was about to move upward.
Interrupted, Angela looked up in confusion. “Jonathan, what’s wrong?”
“Is there a problem?” he asked.
“Well… not really.” She rolled her
eyes. After thinking for a moment, she asked, Jonathan, have you been exercising your legs? I can feel the muscles in your legs. They are in alright
condition.”
Jonathan was silent for a few seconds, then gave a somewhat helpless smile. “You can tell that?”
“Of course!” she replied cheerfully. She could almost confirm that the cause of his leg disease was as Sebastian had said. It was due to long–term illness and poisoning, as well as the side

effects of medication.
It had been a long time, though. It was at least over ten years. If she wanted to cure it completely, it would take some time, akin to pulling silk.

However, Angela’s grandmother had always taken pride in her extensive knowledge of acupuncture techniques for treating leg injuries and had repeatedly encouraged Angela to learn them well. With this set of techniques, Angela had once successfully cured a soldier who had been disabled for several years due to injuries sustained on the battlefield, enabling him to walk again.
During that time, while Angela was primarily focused on Zacharias‘ treatment method, she also dedicated herself to studying her grandmother’s techniques.
After the examination, Angela carefully covered Jonathan with a thin blanket.
“Are you finished?” he asked.
She nodded. “Yes, now I need to consider the next steps
for your treatment.”
Despite her youthful appearance, Angela appeared remarkably skilled and experienced. whenever she treated a patient, as if she had decades of medical expertise.
Jonathan patted his hands on his thighs and asked softly, “You have classes to attend and my illness to take care of. Can you handle everything?”
“I’m managing,” Angela replied with a chuckle. “Besides, you’re paying me so generously. If I don’t put my heart into your treatment, I would feel guilty.”
Was it solely because of the money?
Jonathan lowered his gaze. Angela always seemed to be in need of money
Unaware of Jonathan’s thoughts, Angela was deeply engrossed in considering the subsequent treatment process. After pondering for a while, she spoke, “I plari to regulate your body with. medicinal meals and honey pills. As for your leg injury, I will use acupuncture and massage.
“Let’s start with a one–month treatment plan and evaluate the progress from there.”
Having said that, Angela stood up and wrote down the treatment plan on a piece of paper.
Just as Sebastian walked in, she handed him the prescription. “Sebastian, please take a look and keep this safe. It contains the acupuncture method for treating Jonathan’s leg.”
Sebastian quickly wiped his hands clean and accepted the prescription with both hands. After

his initial joy, he couldn’t help but ask, “Angela, aren’t you going to perform the acupuncture on Jonathan yourself?”
Angela smiled. “I will, but I just completed my transfer exam and will be starting medical school soon. I’m afraid my studies will consume a lot of my time. With this prescription, you can also seek other doctors to continue the treatment.”
Jonathan, who had been listening while under the influence of medication, couldn’t fully comprehend what was happening next, but he could make an educated guess. It was not a simple matter.
By treating Jonathan and leaving the prescription in plain sight, Angela could provide
reassurance.
Moreover, the future was uncertain. If something were to happen to her, Sebastian could use this prescription to find other reputable doctors to continue treating Jonathan.
“Women are always meticulous,” Sebastian remarked, touching the prescription. He felt that although Angela was young, she was highly skilled at reading people’s expressions.
She handled everything with finesse, transparency, and honesty.
After completing the consultation, Angela fulfilled her official duties and contemplated making a new dessert for them to try.
“Sebastian, would you like some dessert? I’ve come up with a new recipe. It’s delightfully chewy and delicious whether served hot or cold!”
Sebastian nodded with a radiant smile, his gaze fixed on Angela’s increasingly kind eyes. “Certainly. You’re truly capable and can do anything!”
With his approval, Angela turned and headed to the kitchen to prepare the dessert.
Only after she left did Sebastian turn around and hand the prescription to Jonathan. “I’ll have someone examine the prescription to ensure there are no issues.”
Although he didn’t doubt Angela, it was always better to be safe than sorry.
Especially considering that she was once engaged to Christopher Sanders, a man who had been deeply infatuated with Jonathan.
The Sanders Family would rather see Jonathan dead.
Jonathan lowered his dark eyes as he asked, “Sebastian, do you think she would harm me?”
