Chapter 26 Her Fingers

Jonathon didn’t dare let his imagination run further. He was the one who brought her here. and besides, Annelise was the Caldwell family’s savior. He couldn’t just stand by and watch her dig her own grave.

“Dr. Caldwell’s… uh command of language might be a little unconventional! Her word choice can be… unique! Haha, ha…” Jonathon looked pleadingly at Adrian. “You… You surely won’t take offense.”

Adrian, a man of few words, responded with a “Hmm.”

Annelise raised an eyebrow, confused. “Mr. Braun, why are you so nervous? Was my description inaccurate?”

“Not at all,” Adrian replied, a sudden, dangerously captivating smile touching his lips. “Your description was perfectly accurate.”

Annelise’s eyes cleared. “See? People who are nice to look at are also nicer to talk to.”

With that, she turned to address the doctors who had reassembled, notebooks and phones in hand, completely unaware of the tense exchange that had just occurred.

“Everyone ready?” she asked.

“Ready!” they chorused, sounding like eager

interns.

Suddenly, Annelise raised her right hand and deftly undid the top button of Adrian’s shirt.

Adrian’s brow furrowed slightly, a questioning tilt to his eyes, as if to say, “Undressing me wasn’t part of the brief.”

“The points beneath the jaw each have their purpose.

“The efficacy of this special treatment relies on the precise method of application and the combination of points selected.”

“For instance, this point here is associated with dispersing heat.

“The patient today suffered from a lung condition, with internal dampness and heat.

“The Great Compendium of Special Treatments‘ describes a specific technique…”

The more intricate her explanation became, the more focused the doctors grew. No one noticed the faint, unusual glimmer in the eyes of their “demonstration subject“.

He was the one most acutely aware of the specific points, as her fingers were tracing them directly on his skin.

Every inch, every fraction…

Notably, her touch didn’t trigger the usual rash that plagued him.

It seemed some people, remarkably, carried fewer irritants.

Adrian’s gaze settled on the young woman’s strikingly beautiful face.

As she leaned in, the ends of her hair occasionally brushed against his hand. Her eyes held no thought of him, only the points she was demonstrating. Her voice rose and fell, emphasizing key points with the same clarity as the pressure from her fingers.

The doctors were enthralled. Even Patrick forgot about Adrian’s formidable status, nodding along, his expression growing increasingly impressed.

He thought, “What a find she is.

“If only we could get her to work at the hospital… Wait. That’s it! I could try to recruit her!”
