The advantage of being an intellectual was that while she may not understand matters regarding medicine, compared to ordinary people, she had more keen senses and knowledge in many aspects of life.Doris stepped forward to help her mother get up, and she was crying as she said, “Mother, don’t worry. Charlie saved Dad, and I will definitely repay him no matter how much I need to work…”Faith nodded slightly, choked up, and said, “Charlie, from now on, you are our great benefactor…”Corwin, who was on the hospital bed, couldn’t help it as his eyes reddened. He said with a serious tone, “Charlie, you have saved my life. If you need anything from me in the future, just inform me, and I will not hesitate to help you!”Charlie smiled helplessly, shook his head lightly, and said in all seriousness, “Uncle, Aunty, you are too kind with your words. Doris is my friend, so this is just me helping a friend out. Besides, Doris also helps me quite a bit. Therefore, I’m just repaying her.”Doris
Charlie had not expected Faith to invite him to her house for a meal.He was thinking about finding an excuse to decline, but Faith did not wait for him to reply and quickly said, “It just so happens that tomorrow is Saturday, and Doris won’t be working. You can help out at home and help me make a few more dishes.”Corwin, who was on the hospital bed, also chimed in agreement, “Yeah, Charlie, come to our house for a meal! Just treat it as a way of getting to know us.”It’s just that Corwin did not know that Charlie had previously been to his house.Seeing that Faith and Corwin had both said so, Charlie was somewhat caught in a pinch.He did not want to agree to the meal invitation, but he felt that it was rather difficult to reject someone else’s goodwill.Just as he was having trouble deciding what was the best course of action, Doris quickly said, “Mother, I am not free tomorrow. I need to work overtime at the company. Can we change it to some other day?”“Ah? You need to work
Doris sent Charlie to the door. After seeing that Charlie had left, she then returned to the ward.As soon as she had entered the ward, Faith bustled over, grabbed Doris’s hand, and asked in concern, “Doris, what is your relationship with Charlie?”Doris hurriedly replied, “We’re just ordinary friends.”“Ordinary friends?” Faith hurriedly asked when she heard this, “Then, do you feel anything for him? Any sort of feeling?”Doris replied in a panic, “Ah? I… I don’t?!”Faith shook her head, and her face was that of disbelief as she said, “Did you think your mother would fall for such a lie? Your expression makes it quite clear that you do hold some feelings for him!”Doris didn’t know how to answer her mother.In her heart, she truly did hold some feelings for him, and those feelings ran quite deep.Especially this time, Charlie had not only punished Edmund, who had poisoned her father, but also saved her father’s life with a precious magic pill.This made her love for Charlie r
Doris felt rather disconsolate upon hearing her mother’s sentiment.Of course, she had somewhat fallen for Charlie too at some point, but unfortunately, she knew that she barely had any chance.The only thing she could do was to work well in Emgrand Group and bring the company to a higher level to repay Charlie’s kindness to her as well as keep her feelings for Charlie hidden deep inside her heart.Heartbroken as she looked at her daughter’s silence, Faith gently took Doris’s hand and said seriously, “My dear, I know I used to always urge you to get married, but I understand now that you can’t force something to happen, so you should work and live your life according to your own desires. I will no longer tell you how to live your life anymore.”Corwin said with a sigh, “Doris, your mother is right! In the past, we’ve always meddled in your problems based on our understandings and perspective, and that was very disrespectful to you, so from now on, you are your own master in your li
At that point, Doris’s greatest wish was that her parents would understand her one day, but never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that her wish would come true today!Thinking of this, Doris was so moved that her eyes became red, and she was almost about to shed a tear.In order not to let her parents see her cry, Doris quickly said, “Mom, Dad, wait for me here. I’ll go settle the discharge procedures and let’s go home!”***As Doris was going through the discharge procedures at the hospital, Isaac and Albert had already captured Edmund and his accomplices to Albert’s dog kennel.Albert’s dog kennel was not only for him to breed dogs for competition, but also for him to deal with a lot of illegitimate businesses, which was why the layout structure of the kennel was very meticulous and careful since the beginning of its construction.First of all, Albert’s dog kennel was built in a relatively remote suburb where the land was sparsely populated. To further eliminate future pr
“Mercury dichloride?!”Blood instantly drained from Edmund’s face when he heard this!He fell to his knees with a loud thud and pleaded to Isaac, tears drenching his face, “I’m sorry! I’m truly sorry! Please, I beg you, please let a doctor come to give me a stomach lavage! It’ll be too late if you don’t hurry…”“Stomach lavage?” Isaac snorted, “Edmund, are you scared now? Why didn’t you consider your victim’s feelings when you harmed them back then? Now that it’s your turn, you’re scared? Do you honestly think you can solve the problem by giving in? Let me tell you, it’s impossible!”Edmund broke down in despair and cried, “Please call Mr. Wade and tell him that I’m sorry! I truly am! I’ll do anything to amend my mistakes as long as he can spare my life!”Isaac huffed in disdain. “Do you think you are qualified to do anything for Mr. Wade?”“Exactly!” Albert clicked his tongue contemptuously and said in a cold voice, “A useless piece of sh*t like you? Hah! You’re not even qualifi
Albert said with a smile, “Kobayashi Jiro, you’re pretty quick to catch up on things lately.”Jiro hurriedly trotted over to Albert, bowed at him respectfully, and exclaimed, “Don Albert! I thank you for your recognition! I’ll definitely continue to work hard!”Albert nodded in satisfaction and said, “Well done, Jiro. Seeing as you’ve been doing well lately, I’ll talk to the cooks later and ask them to give you an extra chicken wing every day from now on!”Jiro quickly begged with a coy smile, “Don Albert, c-can you please ask the cook to give me a drumstick instead? I’ve been working a lot every day, but my food rations are minimal. I’ve been a bit malnourished lately…”Albert sneered at Jiro’s withered appearance. “Jiro, you’re good at bargaining.”Jiro hurriedly explained, “Oh no, Don Albert. I don’t mean to bargain with you, please don’t misunderstand. I just feel that I don’t have enough to eat daily…”Albert laughed and nodded. “Alright, I get it. I’ll tell you what, for th
The mercury dichloride that had been poured into Edmund’s mouth soon took effect, and he could feel the discomfort and pain slowly surging inside him.He knew that this must be because his kidney functions had begun to deteriorate rapidly!It was only at this point that Edmund truly realized what a big problem he had gotten himself into.Previously, he had used to think that with his status, position, and family background, he could run amuck fearlessly in any corner of the world.After all, the vast majority of things in this world seemed too cheap as compared to his ten-billion-dollar family fortune.He had caused a lot of trouble when he was in the United States, but even if he truly killed someone, he could take care of it with a few million dollars at most, and it would not have caused him any trouble nor consequence at all.If he had poisoned Corwin in the United States and the matter had been exposed, he could immediately get a scapegoat to confess to the matter by spendin
