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
“Not bad.”Anyway, Charity had made up her mind to sell off her shares, so she could not care less about commenting on Cindy’s idea.If Cindy managed to convince those shareholders, it would mean that she was competent.Upon hearing Charity’s approval, Cindy smiled and could not conceal the smugness on her delicately made-up face. “I think it’s not bad too. Of course, I’m not the only one who came up with this idea for Eagle Videos. I spent a great deal of time and money hiring a team to research Eagle Videos and its future market. I have confidence in it.”“Is that why you want to have a hand in it when you just joined?” Charity narrowed her eyes.“No. All I want is for Eagle Videos to develop better.” Cindy smiled and said, “Look. Although you’re a large shareholder of Eagle Videos, you’ve never done anything for the company. You only focus your attention on Neeson Corporation, that small company. And recently, your mum is preparing for surgery, so I’m sure you haven’t been in t
Levi could not bring himself to listen to Cindy anymore.“Miss Turner, President Robbins hasn’t the slightest interest in Chester, much less the affairs between you and him. You can discuss work with her, but I believe there’s no need to bring up such personal matters.”In Levi’s opinion, Chester had long since gone abroad to have his leg treated, and Eliza usually would not mention Chester, so how could she fall in love with him? “Really?” Cindy smiled playfully. “I saw Young Master Jewell and President Robbins together yesterday. Perhaps I misunderstood the situation, but I didn’t mean anything. I was just advising you out of the kindness of my heart, President Robbins. After all, you attempted suicide because of your previous relationship. As a woman, I don’t wish to see you commit suicide as a result of being hurt badly in relationships.”“Thank you for your concern,” Charity said calmly.“You’re welcome.” Cindy’s lips curled into a smile before she left elegantly in her high
It had been a long time since Chester last heard Charity say such harsh words.It dampened his spirit and made him frustrated.He did not utter a word for quite a while.With that, Charity hung up the call furiously.Chester sighed softly, staring at his lower body.Why was one leg of his crippled? If only he had a third leg.He would rather suffer punishment and be a eunuch forever than be looked down on by his beloved woman.Distressed, Chester wanted to light a cigarette. However, considering the child in the house, he resisted the urge.On the other hand, Charity regretted her action right after she hung up the phone. She felt like giving herself a slap.Whether or not Chester was a filthy man had nothing to do with her. Why did she have to be so impulsive and b*tchy? She was provoked by what Cindy said, was she not?After all, Cindy was brilliant in touching a nerve in Charity’s heart. She did not mention that Charity did not deserve to be with Chester, nor did she tel
“What’s the matter?”After pressing the ‘answer’ button, Chester heard Hunter’s voice.“Can’t I call you for no reason? You have the time to visit Eliza, that countrywoman’s mother but not your mom and me. Chester, you really let me down.”“If that’s all you’re going to say, I’m going to hang up.”In fact, Chester could hang up straight away, but he wanted to find out what Hunter and his wife were up to.“Come home tonight. Your mom misses you,” Hunter said.“I saw her yesterday,” Chester replied indifferently.Hunter said sternly, “Your mom wants to see you very badly. Chester, if you don’t come home, that countrywoman won’t get to have the surgery carried out on time tomorrow.”“Says you?” Chester was unbothered.“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Doctor Washington.” Hunter snorted. “You got Doctor Washington to perform the surgery only because you want to please Eliza and her mom. When it’s time for surgery tomorrow, let’s see how you explain yourself to Eliza and her mo
In the evening, the Bentley slowly drove into the Jewell family’s old residence.It had been two years since Chester had been back, and an unspeakable sense of unfamiliarity crept up inside him.“Young Master, you’re finally back.” The butler went forward enthusiastically and opened the door for him. As the butler was about to support Chester, Chester’s indifferent eyes swept over him. The smile on the butler’s face stiffened right away.“I don’t need you to support me.” Chester stretched out his walking stick. Then, he extended his sound leg before extending the prosthetic leg.Hunter and his wife had walked out by then. At the sight of their son, Hunter’s eyes flashed with annoyance and disdain. However, he quickly concealed those feelings.“Chester, your leg seems much better now. You look no different from a normal person.”Madam Jewell called out to Chester with a grin, “Come on in. I’ve told the chef to prepare many of your favorite dishes.”Chester walked toward the l
