As udia gently opened the bedroom door, Charlie spotted Lin Wan’er (ni) seated at the desk, her expression slightly pale and her brows knitted together in concern.


    Upon noticing Charlie’s entrance, she quickly rose to her feet, nervously and softly apologizing, “Mr. Wade, I’m truly sorry for bothering you at such ate hour…” Charlie regarded Lin Wan’er (ni) with a warm smile, responding, “Miss Lin Wan’er, there’s no need for such formality. Since you’re udia’s roommate, it’s only natural for me toe.”


    udia interjected, “Brother Charlie, you don’t need to be so formal with Miss Lin Wan’er (ni); just call her ni, like I do.”


    Then she turned to Lin Wan’er (ni) and added, “ni, Brother Charlie is nearly eleven years older than you and ten years older than me. Why not follow my lead and call him Brother Charlie?”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) hesitated for a moment, looking slightly taken aback before cautiously addressing Charlie, “Brother Charlie…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    With a smile, Charlie replied, “Now that you’re calling me brother, I won’t hold back either. udia mentioned you’ve been suffering from a terrible headache. Can you tell me what’s going on?” Hearing this, Lin Wan’er (ni) felt a surge of indignation, thinking to herself, “Charlie, you’re such a rascal. It’s because of you that I’m experiencing this awful headache, yet you act like everything is fine! Can’t you see the connection?” However, she didn’t dare let Charlie detect her inner turmoil. Instead, she pressed her hand against her temple and said sorrowfully, “I really don’t know what’s happening. I just started getting this horrible headache out of nowhere. It feels like a thousand needles piercing my brain, all connected by a string that pulls with my pulse—it’s excruciating!”


    Continuing, Lin Wan’er (ni) added, “I’ve taken countless painkillers over the past couple of days, but nothing seems to help. At one point, I even passed out at home…”


    Charlie was taken aback by her words; he hadn’t realized that the psychological suggestion he had appliedst time would lead to such severe repercussions for Lin Wan’er (ni).


    Meanwhile, Lin Wan’er (ni) was secretly hoping, “If I don’t speak up, Charlie will never understand the pain he has caused me. I hope he feels at least a little guilty about it!” At that moment, Charlie felt an overwhelming sense of guilt, reflecting on the plight of a seventeen-year-old girl who had faced such dire circumstances due to the Po Qinghui. It was unfortunate enough that she had to hide away in Huaxia to attend university, only to be tormented by her own aura.


    Without wasting any more time, he said to Lin Wan’er (ni), “Let’s check your pulse first.”<fna8b7> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on Find~Novel</fna8b7>


    “Okay…” Lin Wan’er (ni) agreed, but the thought of physical contact made her feel shy. Hesitantly, she inquired, “Brother Charlie… how do you check the pulse?”


    Charlie, not overthinking it, pulled up another chair and sat down facing Lin Wan’er (ni). He then patted his right leg and said, “Just ce your right hand on myp.”


    “Ah?” Lin Wan’er (ni) gasped instinctively, “Shouldn’t I ce my hand on the table instead?”


    Charlie gestured towards the desk behind her and exined, “The table is behind you, which makes it inconvenient. Trust me; I’m not picky about these things. If you let me check it this way, I’ll probably get the information I need.”


    Reluctantly, Lin Wan’er (ni) realized she had no choice but toply. She carefully extended her hand and nervously ced it on Charlie’sp.
