Back to My Worst Birthday and Starting Anew

Chapter 50 Treatment

Emyr frowned, a subtle shift in his expression, and Charmaine’s eyes brightened at the change.

“How does this feel?” she asked, her voice filled with a quiet intensity.

“It's numb. Not strong, just a faint feeling,” Emyr responded, his tone even.

Years of experience with his injury had sharpened his awareness. He recognized the pressure points immediately.

Even the slightest touch on these spots usually triggered sharp pain. But Charmaine-he noticed her pressure was

firm.

“Is it painful?” Charmaine pressed.

He shook his head in response.

Charmaine’s fingers moved upwards, gently gliding over his calf. “How about here?”

“This feels lighter,” Emyr said, his voice steady.

She continued her examination, moving higher toward his knee. The sensation diminished the closer she got to

his thigh.

When she finished, Charmaine lowered his pant leg and slowly stood.

“The nerves in your leg have suffered varying levels of damage. Sinflammation is present near the nerve

endings. We should try needle treatment to see if it helps.”

Emyr’s eyes narrowed with interest.

Since the accident, he had seen more doctors than he cared to count-specialists, renowned experts, all of them

reluctant to give him any concrete answers.

But Charmaine, with just a few presses, had already cto a conclusion that the so-called experts hadn't even

dared to touch.

Was she truly skilled, or had all the others been mere pretenders?

His gaze turned sharp. “You're going to do needle treatment?”

Charmaine, sensing his doubt, responded firmly, “I’m serious. I'm not messing around with you.”

At that exact moment, a crack of lightning split the sky, so loud it seemed to shake the building. The lights

blinked out, and the room was plunged into darkness.

Charmaine’s heart raced, her reflexes taking over. Without thinking, she reached out and grabbed the closest

thing to her-Emyr.

Before she could even call out for Tad, she found herself pressed against Emyr’s chest. He looked down, noticing

her trembling in the dim moonlight. Her wide eyes were full of uncertainty, and her lips quivered slightly in the

stillness.

She was the tough one. The quick-witted, sharp-tongued woman who never backed down. But now, she was

clutching him like a frightened animal, vulnerable and unguarded.

Chapter 50 Treatment

“That was just a coincidence!” Charmaine shot back, her voice a little too quick.

“A coincidence?” Emyr raised an eyebrow, his tone skeptical. “Then why are you holding on to me?”

Charmaine gritted her teeth, trying to steady herself. “The lights always go out before the bad stuff happens to

the rich guy if we're in a story. I'm just making sure you're safe. Understand?”

“Sure,” Emyr replied with a knowing grin. “But you might want to watch your hands next time. They're shaking.”

Charmaine was a little miffed.

Charmaine couldn’t shake the thought that all the sensation in Emyr’s legs must have wandered somewhere else

entirely.

Emyr, seeing her uncharacteristically thrown off, allowed himself a rare moment of amusement. “Charmaine, you

act like nothing scares you. Are you really afraid of thunder?”

The idea caught him off guard.

Charmaine, clearly irritated but unwilling to show weakness, dropped her voice as she began.

“Two years ago, my adoptive parents gavea plane ticket for my birthday. They said it was a gift, something

to helpunwind and take a trip to Newland.”

“There are direct flights from Eragos to Newland’s capital, but those cost a lot. And they're only during the day.”

“To save a few bucks, they bookedon a dirt-cheap flight. It left in the middle of the night and had a layover

in a tiny country in South Aspus.”

At that time, the Reads were doing well. They had climbed the social ladder and were known among the middle

class in Eragos.

But that plane ticket was the first real gift Bennett and Sophie had ever given her. They had handed it over in

front of Grandpa, the one person in the family who genuinely cared for her. He had been bedridden for years

after an accident, unable to do much but watch over her.

Charmaine had long stopped hoping for much from Bennett and Sophie. Still, she couldn't bring herself to

disappoint Grandpa. So, she went.

Her gaze shifted to the window. Outside, the night had grown darker, the sky layered with heavy clouds pressing

low against the earth.

“The plane was packed that night. The sky looked just like this-dark, heavy, like it couldn't hold itself together

anymore. But no rain ever came. When the plane climbed through the clouds, the turbulence started. It wasn’t

just bumps. The plane shook like it was being thrown around, like we were falling out of the sky.”

Her voice faltered, but she steadied herself, pushing forward. “After about an hour and a half of that nightmare,

we landed at the layover airport. But then the real trouble started. The next flight? Canceled because of the

weather. No reschedules, no help. They handed out shotel vouchers and told us to figure out our own way

to Newland.”
