“You want to kick me out, huh?”Chester did not panic. Instead, he grinned and rubbed Cal’s chubby chin, teasing Cal. He made Cal giggle, and Cal looked adorable.Charity watched her son smile at Chester happily. Cal seemed to have become familiar with Chester within a day. Annoyed, Charity carried her son to the other side. “Don’t touch my son.”“Fine. Well, I thought I’d tell you about your mum’s condition.” Chester said nonchalantly, “There are some things I didn’t say in front of her because I was worried she’d feel embarrassed.”Once Charity heard it, she immediately became worried. “It was my fault just now. I’m sorry for offending you. Please say it.”“...”Charity’s mood changed so quickly that it left Chester dumbfounded for two seconds. However, he could understand why. Larissa was the only person in the world to whom Charity felt most guilty. After all, Charity occupied the body of Larissa’s daughter, so she would surely go all out to look after Eliza’s mother.“Yo
Charity felt conflicted.Eliza was selfish to commit suicide for the sake of a man. If Charity were not here, she could not imagine what kind of life Larissa would be living.The most painful thing one could experience in their life was to watch their children die before them. After Charity and Larissa arrived at the hospital, the director of the hospital personally took them for a check-up.Charity felt guilty about it. “Director, you may carry on with your work. I’ve troubled you a lot today.”“No worries. You’re the largest shareholder of Jewell Corporation, so technically speaking, you’re my boss.” The director’s surname was Ashby, and he was in his forties. He had a round face and was always smiling.“Don’t say that. You’re a medical expert and an honorable doctor in the country, whereas I’m nothing but a money-grubbing businessperson.”Director Ashby laughed out loud. “I seem to understand how you managed to make Chester become loyal to you.”Charity smiled faintly, not
“Yes. How’s my mother?” Charity’s heart pounded, and she quickly walked over to enquire.“We noticed a polyp in her cervix.”Charity’s face paled. “Is it… severe?”Director Ashby came and took over the report from the examining physician. “Um… The polyp is quite big.”“Yes. Surgery is necessary.” The examining physician knew the director, so he hurriedly nodded politely. “Director, we’re just in charge of body check-ups. Regarding the treatment, we’ll have to transfer the patient to the gynecology department.” “Thank you.” Director Ashby nodded. “Please contact Doctor Stern from the gynecology department and pass the patient to her. Tell her to hospitalize the patient.” After the arrangement was made, Director Ashby said to Charity worriedly, “Luckily, it’s just a polyp. Once it’s cut, it’ll be fine, and it won’t cause much harm. However, the polyp is huge. If you ignore it, it’ll definitely result in bleeding and some other gynecological issues.”Only after hearing his words
Larissa and Charity were utterly shocked by the scene. It was inconvenient for Chester to walk, yet he was here to send them food. “You two must’ve been busy the entire morning and haven’t eaten. I’ve gotten my chef at home to make these.” Chester gestured at Ken to place the insulated lunch boxes on the table. Inside them were mushroom soup, lobsters, and vegetables. Larissa and Charity had been busy, so they were not hungry. They had even forgotten about eating. However, when they saw the food, their stomachs started growling. “How could we accept this? You even brought them over yourself. We could’ve settled our meal in the canteen,” Larissa said reluctantly. “Don’t say that, Aunt Larissa. I’ve also had many meals at your place for the past two days. However, I told the chef not to cook something too greasy because it’s better to eat light and easily digestible food before surgery.” Chester took a lunch box and handed it to Larissa. He knew he had to please his mother-in
“Slow down, Aunt Lynette.” Cindy supported Madam Jewell with her arm firmly. After that, she eyed Chester from head to toe with astonishment. She had always thought Chester had to rely on the wheelchair for life. Hence, she did not expect he could walk normally. The last time Cindy met Chester was right after the accident, and he looked horrifying back then. Now that Chester had recovered, he was not ugly, despite the scar left on his face. Compared to his previous handsome looks, he had a wild, masculine charm to him. Cindy was also different from before. After familiarizing herself with Canberra’s elite circle, she met many sons from wealthy families. To be honest, not many of them had tall figures and handsome faces. “Is there a problem?” Chester frowned out of discomfort from Cindy’s laser-like stares. “Chester… You…” Madam Jewell’s expression hardened when she saw Charity. “Why are you still involved with this woman? You wouldn’t have ended up in this state if it wer
Chester sighed with an innocent-looking face. “It feels like you’re under the impression that I’m expecting you to do something in return for my help. Forget it. I’ll take a taxi, so I don’t disturb Ken on his date. He’s over 30 years old, but he doesn’t even have a girlfriend because he was taking care of me. Poor Ken.”As he spoke, he opened the car door and looked like he was about to get down. Charity was speechless. “Alright. I was joking. Just stay put. We’re heading in the same direction anyway.”“I just don’t want you to think of me badly,” Chester said seriously. “I didn’t mean it that way.”Charity did not say a word. ‘I won’t believe you didn’t mean it that way.’Charity scolded Chester mentally. However, she did not say anything else because she realized that no one could outspeak a shameless person. That was how Chester was behaving. His words were indirect and had hidden meanings to them. “I’m going to start driving.”Charity started the car. “By the way, w
Charity’s lips twitched for a moment.She felt like telling Chester that whether he wanted to return to the hospital had nothing to do with her. However, a good doctor could save many desperate patients.“If you wish for me to return, I will do it.” Chester stared unblinkingly at her, and her shadow was reflected in his eyes.“...”Somehow, Charity had difficulty breathing.Perhaps it was because the car was too stuffy.Hence, she opened the window and glowered at him. “It’s not that I wish for you to return to the hospital. Director Ashby was the one who wanted me to advise you.”Chester stopped speaking after uttering, “Oh.”When the car arrived at the entrance of the villa, Charity could not help but say, “I think you can go back to work in the hospital. You’re still young. With your medical knowledge, it’ll be a waste for you not to save lives.”“So… you wish for me to return to the hospital, huh?” Chester heard her speak as soon as he opened the car door, so he turned aro
“This is eye-opening.” Director Ashby sighed. “I’ve advised you numerous times, but nothing is as important as a woman’s words.”“Duh.” Chester scoffed mercilessly. “Look at yourself. Considering your wrinkles, can you compare to Charity?”Director Ashby’s heart clenched. “Do you think I wanted to do this? It’s all because we have a lot to worry about in the hospital.”“However, you should know that I can’t work night shifts anymore. My body can’t take it.” Chester said impassively, “And I can’t perform surgery for the time being because I can’t stand for a long time.”“That’s not a problem. Just be the mainstay of the hospital. No matter which part of the hospital you’re at, it’ll be a great help to us.” Director Ashby let out a sigh. “By the way, after you left this afternoon, your mom went to a hospital staff to find out about Larissa’s condition.”“What is she planning to do?” Chester’s eyes narrowed.“I don’t know. But the security guard said your mom and Cindy didn’t go up
