Chapter 7 I Cant Give You What You Want Reeses long lashes fluttered, a sharp glint in her eyes.
She already knew the answer in her heart.
Its Malcolm.
Malcolm? Isnt that your husband? Whys he snooping around on you? They were already hitched, so whats left to dig up? And why did Malcolms name ring a bell? Calvin quickly checked and immediately exclaimed, Oh my God, Reese, your hubbys quite the big shot.
You two are a power couple.
But… its a shame about last years car accident.
Since then, hes barely touched the companys affairs, but his rep in Atlanta is still rock solid.
Cut the crap, get to the point.
I dont have all day, Reese snapped, clearly impatient.
Should we make him cant find anything or what? Thats a no-go.
Itll just make him more suspicious.
But we cant let him find out everything either.
Just tell him I know some medicine.
Maybe he can help me out later.
Given his current status, he had to be thorough.
After less than half an hour with her, he was already questioning her identity.
Shed have to tread carefully living in The Flynn Villa from now on.
Got it.
Also, theres a project at the company you might want to invest in.
I sent it to your email.
Check it out when you get a chance.
You guys handle it.
I might not be online much lately.
Understood, hanging up.
Reese deleted the call log and slipped out of the study.
After dinner, she took the prepared medicine into Malcolms room.
A foul smell hit Malcolms nose, and he couldnt help but frown.
What is this? It reeks.
Its the medicine I made for you.
Drink it later, and Ill give you a couple of acupuncture treatments.

Lets see how it goes in a few days.
Malcolm didnt expect Reese to be so attentive to his needs.
Out of habit, he instinctively asked, Why are you doing all this for me? Reese wasnt fazed.
She placed the medicine on his bedside table and answered smoothly, Youre my husband now.
If your leg gets better, I wont have to babysit you every day.
Itll make my life easier.
Make your life easier, huh? Malcolms lips curled into a slight smirk.
His eyes narrowed.
Im paralyzed from the waist down.
Whatever youre after, I cant give it to you.
I dont care about sex, she blurted out without thinking.
Malcolms expression darkened.
Did she not care, or did she think he was incapable? You just need to cooperate with me, Reese said, squatting down.
She took out the silver needles, disinfected them, and arranged them neatly, all in one smooth motion.
Just then, someone barged in from outside.
Malcolm… The intruder was Malcolms second sister, Everly Flynn.
Reese was a bit exasperated.
How many sisters does Malcolm have? Everlys face turned pale when she saw the needles in Reeses hand.
She rushed forward and shoved Reese away.
You vicious woman, are you trying to kill Malcolm as soon as you got here? Reese was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
Everly then saw Reeses face and covered her mouth as if she had seen a ghost.
Oh my God, Grandpa must be crazy.
Even if Malcolm is paralyzed, he doesnt have to settle for this.
Everly walked up to Reese and disdainfully tugged at her clothes with her fingertips.
What are you even wearing? Did you time travel from some other era? Even the maids aprons looked better than her clothes.
Reese adjusted her glasses, her bright eyes somewhat intimidating.
Everly felt a bit of fear when she met Reeses gaze.
You… what kind of look is that? Im telling you, Im Miss Flynn of this house.
Youd better show some respect.
