Chapter231
Charlie was much more sensitive than Theresa had expected on that score. And she just stood still after being
pushed away by him. Fearing Theresa would have hard feelings, Charlie looked up at her and explained slowly,
“I really can’t make it. Could you stop forcing me?”
Theresa suddenly smiled an intelligent smile. “Charlie, would you like to touch my breasts?”
Charlie gazed at her in astonishment. What the hell was she talking about? How could she say something so
unashamed!
Theresa continued, “But you can’t do that unless you follow my instruction.”
Charlie put a grim look on his face. It took him quite some time to speak again, “Theresa, you are the most cheeky

gracefully as possible, and none of them had ever uttered such things without the slightest
self-respect, he thought.
Charlie’s remark got Theresa to pause a little. She twitched her mouth at his solemn face and challenged, “So you
are getting coy? Come on, Mr. Calsis. Will you try to stand up or not?”
Her unabashed manner (only in his eyes, of course) got him to gnash his teeth. “Hold me up!” he finally said from
between his teeth, thinking she would only be regretful for what she had said!
Theresa stretched her arms to help him stand up. And that was quite some weight as he was basically quite tall,
though not stout. The moment he tried to rise, he fell down heavily. Theresa consoled him while holding his
arms, “Don’t lose your patience. Try again.”
Charlie was annoyed. “You are doing this simply to make a fool of me!”
“No one wants to tease you. I’ve seen too many patients like you, who tend to give up at the very beginning,
thinking it too hard to persevere.” She then heartened him, “Charlie, I believe you could do it better than.
others. Shall we try it again?”
She sounded so sincere and soft, without the faintest smarmy flattery he often heard. Her firm and attentive
stare was filling a resolution into his heart, which made him long for standing up under her help. They thus
spent the following hour taking the exercise, during which Charlie had fallen over and over again.
Jonathan entered the room at the moment, just to find Charlie lying on the ground. “Mr. Calsis!” he exclaimed.
Theresa only said suavely, “Let’s call it a day. We’ll go on with the exercise tomorrow.” She then turned to
Jonathan, “Could you take care of Mr. Calsis? I’ll go grab some water.” She was dripping with sweat after

Jonathan helped Charlie sit on the chair and asked with concern, “Are you all right, Mr. Calsis?” Jonathan
seemed quite displeased.
Jonathan’s discreet expression reminded Charlie of the fact that he himself now had totally eased up from his
initial fretfulness. In fact, a conviction was welling up in his heart — he could make it!
“Do you have to be so flustered? As though I’m a kid.” Charlie thus replied. “I’m quite fine. Can’t be better
actually!”
Jonathan just couldn’t figure out why his concern met with such a rebuke. Wasn’t it what he had always been
doing? In fact, the whole family had been extremely discreet with Charlie ever since the accident, fixing in the
accessible equipment all over the house and making things as easy as possible for him, just to keep him away from
any possible harm, either in body or mind.
Yet some change seemed to have taken place to Charlie now.
