Claiming My Possessive CEO Husband

Rumor had it that Xaviera Evans had a weak constitution—a sickly beauty. Rumor had it that she spent a fortune every day on medications—eating them like candy. Rumor had it that ten servants waited on her by her bed every day—a burden to everyone. They were all waiting for the Evans family to toss Xaviera Evans back to the countryside and leave her to fend for herself. Xaviera Evans: "They're all saying that I'm weak and can't take care of myself. Apparently, I spend money recklessly as well.” She looked down at her tattered shirt and was exasperated. Xaviera Evans: “Are you saying that this wealthy family lets their daughter wear tattered clothes every day?” The Evans family's rich daughter? She had enough! She would not be it anymore! Therefore… Scumbag guy: "Without the Evans family, you're nothing." Xaviera Evans: "If I'm kicked out of the Evans family, I'll be done for." Scumbag girl: "Sis, don't be too disappointed. As long as you work hard, you'll be praised one day.” Xaviera Evans: "Shut up, I don't know a traitor like you." The scumbag guy and girl: "???" Rumor had it that the Mamet family's youngest son, Caleb Mamet, rashly married a woman who had nothing but looks. Xaviera Evans: "Is someone looking down on me?" One day, Xaviera Evans saw one of Caleb Mamet's employees racking his brains over a series of numbers on the computer screen. Since she was free, she lent a hand. Did she just crack the firewall created by the joint efforts of top elite hackers?! Caleb Mamet inched closer with every step. "Xaviera, what else are you hiding from me? Hmm?" Xaviera Evans: "Oh, no! I feel dizzy again! I'm so weak. This body of mine is just too weak!"

Chapter 190: Treating Illness with Acupuncture

Xaviera Evans's cheeks turned red and she looked embarrassed, hiding her thoughts behind a smile, "Mr. President, don't overthink it. I'm here to treat you."

Caleb Mamet chuckled lightly, his eyes drooping slightly, "Mrs. Mamet, you don't have to."

Xaviera's face fell instantly, "Caleb, your blindness at night is actually due to poisoning!"

Caleb's face remained calm, showing no surprise, "I know."

Xaviera was taken aback, "You knew, then why..."

Caleb's eyes were ice-cold, "This poison has no cure, and acupuncture is even more useless."

He glanced at the bag of acupuncture tools, his face grim, "So it's unnecessary."

He had foreseen this day when he discovered he was poisoned, so there was no point in fighting.

Xaviera shivered inwardly, looking at Caleb with a tinge of estrangement. His eyes were filled with desolation and cold disdain, as if being blind or not was irrelevant to him.

She fell silent for a moment, and sighed helplessly.
