A Cue for Love Chapter 57 Curing Freckles With Leftover Tea Shawnâs eyes flickered slightly, and his cheeks were rosy red.
âIâm sorry that Iâve misunderstood you just now, Ms. Nichols.â His ardent gaze was fixated on her. âYou saved my grandpa. Iâll remember your kindness forever.â
Natalie said coolly, âThereâs no need to remember it for so long.â
âMs. Nichols, are you still blaming me for what I just said?â
âIâm not that petty.â Natalie nodded politely at Max. âOld Mr. Watsons, I was entrusted by Mr. Jones to come and treat you. I hope that the Watsons family can keep this matter a secret, as I donât do public consultations.â
Max nodded in response to her request.
Natalie then put her crystal needles away and placed them in her shoulder bag.
She reminded, âIâll have to administer acupuncture two more times on you to cleanse the remaining poisons in your body. Iâll need your grandson to accompany me to get your medicine. They should be taken after meals. The poisons in your body are slow-acting. It was probably added to your diet in very small doses by someone around you. Although itâs not easy to detect, it would become rampant with time. There are four kinds of poisons in your body. I hope you can use this opportunity to reevaluate the people around you.â
She explained everything she had to as a doctor.
As for the Watsons familyâs matters, she was not interested in being involved in them.
Max closed his eyes and took a deep breath before saying, âHow can I not know what the people around me have in mind? What I really didnât expect is that they would lay their hands on me for their desires. Although Iâm rumored to be ruthless and merciless, Iâm much more merciful compared to them.â
It was already enough of a headache for him to have such messy family affairs.
Tactfully, Natalie refrained from making any comments.
âOld Mr. Watsons, Iâll need Mr. Watsons to go with me to pick up the medicine. Iâll come by three days later for the next acupuncture.â
Max forced a smile. âThank you, Natalie.â
Shawn arranged for some trusted subordinates to stay at Maxâs side before going downstairs with Natalie.
As they walked side by side, his gaze fell on Natalie.
âYou really donât hate me for what I said?â
Natalie halted her steps and teased, âI do.â
Shawn was dumbfounded, as he clearly did not expect her to say that.
It was probably his first time being teased like that. Natalie chuckled uncontrollably as she watched him stand there with a helpless look on his face.
âYou-â
âIâve already said that Iâm not that petty.â She said with a smile, âYou donât know medicine, so itâs normal for you to be worried when you see the person dearest to you vomit out so much dark blood. If I were to see that happen to my grandpa while I had a knife in my hand, I would stab your heart.â
Shawn froze and looked at Natalie.
She always manages to catch me by surprise every time. Moreover, she exudes a kind of calm aura that makes her stand out despite her unassuming looks. This girl is far more interesting than a lot of noble ladies!
Just as they descended the stairs, something splashed in Natalieâs direction.
Shawn quickly pulled her back, but Natalieâs face still got doused with tea.
The culprit was none other than Chrisâ wife, Mandy.
However, she was not the least bit sorry for her actions. She swayed her waist and said sarcastically, âIâm really sorry. My hands slipped and I accidentally splashed this leftover tea on your face.â
She covered her mouth and snickered, adding, âArenât you a doctor? I heard that leftover tea is effective in treating freckles. I wonder if my tea can help wash away the dirty freckles on your face?â
