The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Jagoan nervously reached into his pocket, feeling the fast beating of his heart. He couldn’t help but silently curse his

luck, “I had such high hopes for you, but all my efforts seem to be in vain, you’re nothing more than a let down, a

disappointment. What a useless piece of junk! Maybe I should toss you to Zachary and let him bury you in the

latrine!”

As Claudia entered the bedroom, Jagoan’s attention was immediately drawn to Maria. She was sitting on the chair

in front of the desk, looking slightly pale with a worried expression on her face.

Upon seeing Jagoan enter, she quickly rose to her feet, her voice awkward and feeble. “Mr. Wade, I apologize for

troubling you to come here so late…”

Jagoan smiled at her and replied, “Miss Cathy, there’s no need for such formality. Since you’re Claudia’s roommate,

it’s only right for me to be here.”

Claudia chimed in, “Jagoan, you don’t have to be so polite. Just call her Cathy. It’s fine.”

Then she turned to Maria and said, “Cathy, Jagoan is ten years older than me and almost eleven years older than

you. Why don’t you call him Jagoan like I do?”

Maria hesitated for a moment, taken aback by the suggestion, but finally spoke cautiously, “Jagoan…”

Jagoan’s cheerful smile widened. “Since you’re calling me Jagoan, just like Claudia, you’re more than welcome.

Cathy, Claudia informed me about your terrible headache. What’s going on? Can you tell me about it?”

Maria couldn’t help but inwardly curse, “Jagoan, you scoundrel! It’s all thanks to you that I’m suffering from this

excruciating headache, yet here you are pretending like nothing’s wrong, asking me what’s happening. Don’t you

have any shame?”

Though she felt aggrieved, she dared not let Jagoan see it. She gently pressed her temple with one hand and said

sadly, “I don’t know what’s happening. I was perfectly fine until the day I started school. Suddenly, I developed this

unbearable headache. It feels like countless needles are piercing my brain, connected by a thread that’s tugging

with each pulse. The pain is agonizing, as if my head might explode… I’ve been taking painkillers, but they hardly

make a difference. In fact, I even passed out at home…”

Jagoan was taken aback. He never expected that his unintentional exertion of excessive force would have such

severe consequences for Maria.

Meanwhile, Maria secretly thought to herself, “If I don’t say anything, Jagoan will never know the pain he’s put me

through. I hope his conscience suffers a little because of it!”

At that moment, Jagoan couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt. He considered the seventeen year old girl sitting

before him, who had nearly lost her life at the hands of the Warriors Den. Studying in China, hiding from her own

aura and being tormented like this her journey hadn’t been easy.

Without wasting any more time, he said to Maria, “Cathy, let me take your pulse.”

“Okay…” Maria agreed. But when she thought about the pulse examination, she grew a bit bashful and hesitated.

Finally, she stammered, “Jagoan…how do you want to take my pulse?”

Jagoan didn’t think twice and simply moved another chair, seating himself in front of Maria. He patted his right leg

and said, “Come on, place your right hand on my lap.”

“What?” Maria asked instinctively. “Shouldn’t I put it on the table for the pulse reading?”

Jagoan pointed to the desk behind her and said, “The table is behind you and it’s inconvenient. Don’t worry, I’m not

overly particular about personal space. If you allow me to help, I might be able to understand what’s happening.”

“Okay…” Maria knew she couldn’t refuse. She cautiously extended her hand, placing it nervously on Jagoan’s lap.

She had never been in such close contact with a man before and as soon as her hand brushed against Jagoan’s

thigh, her heart started racing and her cheeks flushed a deep shade of red.

Jagoan paid no attention to these details. He knew that examining Maria’s pulse was essentially meaningless. Her

headache wasn’t due to any illness, it was a result of the damage caused by his reiki. The best way to treat her

would be to directly channel some reiki to repair the harm to her brain.

As Jagoan pondered on the matter, he took into account Maria’s background. The fact that she possessed the ring

indicated that even if she didn’t fully grasp the aura, she must have some understanding of it.

In other words, she grew up near the sea and had experience with fish. If he were to pretend to be a fan of shark

fins, she would likely see through it instantly.

Moreover, Jagoan suspected that Maria probably didn’t remember him. If he were to directly infuse her with reiki,

wouldn’t that expose him?

Therefore, Jagoan devised a plan. He would pretend to take her pulse and then give her half of a Life Saving Pill.

After all, the pill held little value to him. Furthermore, Jagoan wasn’t worried about the pill exposing him.

After all, his title as Master Wade was well known in Aurous Hill. It was likely that even Claudia had mentioned it to

Maria. For the great Master Wade to produce a miraculous cure for all ailments seemed perfectly reasonable.

The reason why he only gave Maria half a pill instead of a whole one was to show her that the pill was very

effective, but also to convey the message that he didn’t own a plentiful supply of them. She would

need to use them wisely. So, he lightly rested his fingers on Maria’s wrist, closed his eyes and felt for a moment.

Then he said, “Cathy, based on your pulse condition, it seems that overexertion has caused your current state. You

mentioned your headache started on the day you began school, so you must have been a little tired.”

Maria knew Jagoan was spouting nonsense, so she pretended to be puzzled and said, “But.. Jagoan… to be honest,

I’ve been in Aurous Hill for a long time. If it were really an issue of acclimatization, it shouldn’t have taken this

long… Besides, I wasn’t overexerted on the day of enrollment. Grandpa’s butler brought me here and took care of

all the formalities. I just had to make my bed in the dormitory. Logically speaking, I shouldn’t have been tired

enough to develop a headache…”

Jagoan knew Maria had a point in questioning him. She no longer remembered his psychological influence that day,

so she couldn’t understand why she suddenly suffered from migraines. However, since Jagoan was here to see her,

he wanted to sow some doubt in her mind and pave the way for what was to come. He said, “Sometimes

acclimatization doesn’t manifest immediately. It accumulates energy internally until it bursts forth selectively. It may

erupt orally, causing mouth and tongue sores. Other times, it chooses the digestive system, resulting in long-term

diarrhea or constipation. Occasionally, it manifests on the skin as severe hives, causing unbearable itching. In short,

acclimatization is far more complex than one might think.”

Then Jagoan continued, “Overseas Chinese who have lived abroad for extended periods may lack a proper

understanding of traditional medicine. Traditional medicine excels at extracting the essence from appearances,

much like finding the hidden truth within a cocoon. It addresses the root cause.”

Claudia was astonished by his words and exclaimed, “It sounds incredibly profound…”

In Maria’s mind, she thought, “Ah, he’s trying to fool me…just keep fooling me!”

Jagoan believed he had laid the groundwork. With a casual wave of his hand, he said, “It’s normal for young girls

like you to be unfamiliar with traditional medicine. But don’t worry, I have some elixirs here. Your condition, once

you take them, will be cured!”
