Chapter 43 Too Close

It must have been the herbal tea bag she gave him yesterday.

“Mr. Quigley,” Aurelia greeted, before preparing to ascend the stairs.

Matthew looked over.

Aurelia met the cold, dark gaze of Matthew.

His mood seems a bit off today… No, that’s not entirely accurate either. He’s always been cold and distant foward others.

“Could you do me a favor?” Matthew asked her.

Aurelia was somewhat taken aback. “What kind of favor?”

She hadn’t expected that he would take the initiative to seek her help.

Observing his slightly furrowed brows and his enduring demeanor, she wondered if he really encountered some trouble.

She walked up to him.

“My headache, the acupoints you pressed for me at the Quigley residence last time were really helpful.” Matthew’s slender fingers paused on his temples, massaging them a few times, but it didn’t seem to alleviate much.

“Is your headache really severe? Where exactly does it hurt?” Aurelia asked in a gentle voice.

Upon hearing the woman’s soft voice, Matthew was momentarily taken aback, then he promptly pointed to the spot where his head ached.

“I’ll give it a try, but massaging the head can only provide some relief. Mr. Quigley, when you have time, you might want to consider visiting a traditional medicine practitioner and try acupuncture.”

Aurelia walked behind the couch, standing behind Matthew.

“Acupuncture?” The thought of a long needle piercing into his head made Matthew instinctively resist.

“Sometimes, what our ancestors left behind can be more useful than modern medicine. Now, relax and close your eyes,” Aurelia said, as she placed her hand on his head.

Matthew closed his eyes.

The acupoints that Aurelia pressed today were different from the last time.

This should effectively alleviate Matthew’s headache symptoms.

Thirty minutes later, Aurelia found herself in a bit of a predicament as she watched Matthew, who had already fallen asleep.

He was nearly two meters tall, a size she simply couldn’t carry. Moreover, his sleep was often troubled, and it seemed somewhat cruel to wake him.
