Twins - The Unforeseen Legacy of My Ex's Uncle-in-Law novel Chapter 5

Drusilla found herself momentarily frozen at the doorway, caught under the intense gaze of Mr. Taylor.

"What's your last name?" he inquired, his voice deep and commanding, yet undeniably magnetic.

Feeling it rude to keep staring, Drusilla quickly averted her gaze, replying, "Lawson. Here's my business card."

"Dr. Lawson, you may start now,” Enoch Taylor said, taking the card without so much as a glance and speaking with an air of indifference.

Drusilla took a deep breath and began setting up her equipment. She hadn’t always been a physical therapist specializing in alternative treatments like acupuncture. It all started when she was pregnant with her twin boys, Colton and Cormac. Wanting to stay home with them, she left her job and began learning the craft from Verena's friend’s grandfather, Gable, initially just helping out. Soon, Gable, a respected figure in the field, noticed her talent and took her under his wing, passing on his extensive knowledge.

These days, Gable was taking fewer clients due to his advancing age, leaving Drusilla to carry on his legacy. Despite her experience, today's session with Mr. Taylor had her unusually nervous, especially with his assistant, Oberon, watching her every move as if she might harm Mr. Taylor.

Thankfully, the session ended without incident, and Drusilla let out a sigh of relief.

"Acupuncture works best in thirty-minute sessions. I'll return this evening for another round. I noticed Mr. Taylor's muscles were quite tense, likely a remnant from a past car accident. With a week's treatment, there should be noticeable improvement," she explained as she started to pack up.

"Improvement?" Oberon sounded skeptical, eyeing Drusilla as if doubting her expertise. "Are you saying Mr. Taylor's condition could actually improve?"

Drusilla was taken aback. "Isn't that why you called me here, to aid in his recovery?"

Upon hearing her words, Oberon's face lit up with a trace of joy. He glanced incredulously at Mr. Taylor, then turned back to Drusilla and said, "If you can truly improve Mr. Taylor’s condition, we'd be immensely grateful."
