The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Meanwhile, at Aurous Hill University…

The vibrant atmosphere of Aurous Hill University filled the air as the freshmen completed their registration, got

their class placements and were assigned counselors. Today, the school distributed military training uniforms to all

the students in preparation for the two-week training that would commence tomorrow morning.

To avoid the hassle of daily commuting, both Maria and Claudia made the wise decision to reside on campus. As

they chatted in their dormitory, they busied themselves with arranging their beds and personal belongings.

Ever since the tragic loss of her family, Claudia had become guarded and rarely engaged in conversations with

others. During her time in Canada, she had placed her trust in only two people, Aunt Lewis and Lisa. However,

despite Claudia’s usual reserved nature, she discovered an unexpected connection with Maria. Their conversations

flowed effortlessly and Maria’s engaging presence made Claudia feel as though they had known each other for a

lifetime.

From Claudia’s perspective, Maria possessed not only beauty and grace but also depth and education. Her every

movement exuded elegance and decency. Deep within her heart, Claudia admired Maria and even subconsciously

regarded her as a role model.

Maria, in turn, treated Claudia like a caring older sister in all aspects of their lives together, be it at school, in their

dormitory, or in Claudia’s presence. Maria’s kindness and warmth nurtured a special bond between them.

Although Maria had a genuine desire to get closer to Claudia, she also felt that Claudia’s personality was the perfect

counterbalance to her own. Despite her curiosity about Jagoan, Maria hesitated to bring him up in their

conversations. She yearned for another encounter with him, but she also feared that he might not trust her and

would test her with his reiki once again.

Although Jagoan’s psychological suggestion had no practical effect on her, the aftermath of his reiki entering her

mind still lingered. Maria couldn’t help but frown as she observed Claudia chatting away. Concerned, Claudia

noticed her expression and asked, “Cathy, is something bothering you? Are you feeling unwell?”

Maria forced a smile, rubbing her temples and replied, “It’s nothing, just a headache.”

Caution laced Claudia’s voice as she inquired, “Is it your time of the month? Our counselor mentioned that if you’re

experiencing discomfort, you can inform her and she’ll help us request leave from the instructor.”

Maria shook her head and explained, “It’s not that. I think it’s a migraine. My temples are throbbing and the pain is

quite intense.”

Carefully, Claudia offered, “Would you like some painkillers? Lisa gave me a few this afternoon, regular ones like

ibuprofen.”

Maria waved her hand and declined, “Thank you, but I’ve been taking painkillers for the past two days and they

haven’t provided much relief.”

Claudia exclaimed, “You’ve been relying on them for two days? You shouldn’t overdose on those medications,

right?”

Helplessly, Maria admitted, “I can’t help it. The pain is unbearable. I’ve taken a couple more pills to see if it helps,

but it doesn’t seem to have any significant effect.”

Sternly, Claudia asserted, “This won’t do. Why don’t we go to the hospital? I’ll accompany you!”

Maria waved off the suggestion. “Forget it. Migraines are one of those stubborn ailments. The hospital doesn’t offer

a viable solution.”

Maria was well aware that her headache stemmed from the aftermath of Jagoan’s psychological suggestion.

Unfortunately, there was no easy fix for her condition except for time and gradual recovery.

After a moment of contemplation, Claudia suddenly remembered something and said, “Oh, by the way, Cathy, do

you remember the gentleman, Jagoan, who saw me off last time?”

Pretending to be curious, Claudia continued, “Is he the man who came to see you off?”

“Yes,” Claudia nodded and replied. “Lisa mentioned that people in Aurous Hill refer to him as Master Wade and he’s

reputed to possess extensive knowledge of Feng Shui and medical skills. How about I ask him to pay you a visit?”

Surprised by the opportunity that had presented itself sooner than expected, Maria hesitated momentarily. She

pretended to be a little hesitant and said, “Um… I’m not sure if that’s appropriate. I don’t know him well, so it might

be a bother.”

Without a second thought, Claudia assured her, “Don’t worry. Jagoan is wonderful. When I met him not long ago, he

helped me immensely, including arranging my admission to Aurous Hill University. If I call him and explain the

situation, he probably won’t refuse.”

Maria pursed her lips, feigning indecisiveness and responded, “Well… it’s already past eight O’clock, so it wouldn’t

be right to disturb him. Maybe things will improve by tomorrow morning.”

“That won’t do!” Claudia insisted decisively. “If your headache persists through the night and you don’t get proper

rest, your condition will only worsen. Let’s not forget you have military training tomorrow. Your body won’t be able

to endure it.”

Seizing the perfect moment, Maria lowered her head and remained silent. She knew that the time had come to

accept Claudia’s kind offer without politely evading it.

Observing Maria’s silence, Claudia assumed she had consented but felt too embarrassed to speak. She promptly

grabbed her phone, stood up and declared, “Cathy, wait for me. I’ll go outside and call Jagoan.”

“Hmm…” Maria responded, then raised her head and expressed her gratitude, “Thank you, Claudia!”

Generously, Claudia replied, “You’re welcome. Your well being is what matters most. Wait here for me!”

With that, Claudia opened the door and exited the bedroom. Once in the corridor, she wasted no time in dialing

Jagoan’s number.

At that moment, Jagoan had just finished dinner at home.

When he saw Claudia’s call, a smile crept onto his face. He answered playfully, “Claudia, I heard from Lisa that your

military training begins tomorrow?”

“Yes, Brother!” Claudia responded promptly. “I actually wanted to ask you for a favor.”

Chuckling, Jagoan replied, “Why so formal? Just tell me what you need. If I can help, I won’t turn you down.”

Grateful, Claudia said, “Thank you, Brother! I would like to invite you to help my roommate with her health issues…”

“Your roommate?” Jagoan furrowed his brow as Maria’s image flashed in his mind. He had a rough idea of what

might be causing her illness. Curiosity lacing his voice, he asked, “What seems to be the problem with your

roommate?”

Claudia explained, “She’s been suffering from severe migraines these past couple of days. She’s been relying on

painkillers, but they haven’t provided much relief. I wanted to take her to the hospital, but she believes they won’t

be able to help. I’m worried that her condition will worsen tonight. Lisa mentioned

that you possess remarkable medical skills, so I thought maybe you could come and take a look. It would be a great

help to my roommate.”
