Charlie nodded and smiled. “No worries. Letting the doctor perform their check-up is also a good idea.”Doris asked in a soft tone, “What about the medicine? If the doctor were to ask about it, what should we reply? After all, in the eyes of the doctor, my father’s kidney problem is already very severe and there was no cure…”Charlie laughed as he replied, “No worries. The doctor of Silverwing Hospital had previously witnessed an even more impressive medical miracle before this.”In the past, Charlie’s father-in-law had been struck by a car and had become paraplegic. When he was admitted into the hospital, all the doctors had concluded that he could be bedridden for the rest of his life as he could no longer feel anything below his neck, let alone move freely.However, with the help of a healing pill, Charlie had been able to save his father-in-law. It was as if life came back into his body, he was bursting with energy and was even able to move instantly.At that moment, that had
Creatinine in the blood was an important indicator for judging the degree of damage sustained by the kidney.The higher the amount of creatinine found in the blood indicated the higher degree of kidney damage.For a normal adult, the amount of creatine in the blood generally should be below a hundred and thirty-three. Any number above this value indicated that the kidney had already sustained some damage.Once the creatinine amount exceeded four hundred and fifty, it could be determined to be a renal failure. If the value exceeded seven hundred, it basically meant that it was uremia.During the noon, Corwin’s blood monitor indicated that his blood creatinine index had exceeded more than a thousand and five hundred!Therefore, in order to determine whether he had recovered from his illness, the most important point of reference would be the blood creatinine index.Soon, the nurse came rushing in.Seeing Corwin’s sudden energetic appearance, the nurse was shocked and in disbelief.
In the past, her parents had been looking for some suitable men for her. Corwin had even wanted to introduce his favorite student to her, but she hadn’t even given them a chance to meet nor have a meal.As of now, Doris realized that her mother seemed to have a very good impression of Charlie. Now, the reason she wanted Charlie to stay was probably to ask Charlie for some personal information or maybe even to investigate her relationship with him.Therefore, she quickly said, “Mother, Charlie is a young man. There is a generation gap between you guys, there won’t be much to talk about. It’s better to not cause him any trouble!”Faith immediately replied, “What are you saying? Although your dad and I are a little older, we do know a lot about the younger generation stuff, okay?”At this moment, Charlie said with a smile, “It’s alright, Doris. You should go and buy your stuff first. Let’s not delay uncle’s meal. I will chat with uncle and aunt for a while.”Doris was very embarrasse
Charlie couldn’t really understand Faith’s point at that moment, but he felt somewhat embarrassed when he heard this.After all, Doris was his employee.Although the Emgrand Group was his, the entirety of the Emgrand Group’s operations, management, and development was almost entirely handled by Doris alone.In contrast, Charlie was just giving instructions and not handling them personally.If, according to Faith’s words, Doris were to quit her job, fall in love, and travel around the world, it would be like throwing away the Emgrand Group.Deep down, he really didn’t want this to happen. Who in the right mind would let his most capable man do nothing but travel around the world.However, he also knew that he was just chatting with Doris’s parents anyway. So, he should just agree with whatever they said and let this be simply a chatting session.Hence, he smiled and replied, “Aunty, whatever you’ve just mentioned is very reasonable. In fact, you should indeed go out to experience
Maybe he could have conquered Mount Everest, gone skiing in the Alps, gone on a vacation to France, or even gone to the Antarctic or diving in Tahiti.However, his life trajectory had been drastically changed because of that accident.Originally, he had been the world’s richest kid. There were six or seven billion people in the world, and there were no more than a hundred people who could be reincarnated into such a well-off family.However, when he was eight years old, he had become the most pitiful and miserable child in the world.Compared to other orphans, he had led a much harder life.This was because he had lost both parents at that time, and he had also been forced to live together with the other orphans in the welfare institute. He had to bear the pain of his parents being murdered, bear the unshakable hatred, and bear the sudden change in his environment as though he had been cast out of heaven and was made to live in hell. From one of the wealthiest families in the worl
“Forty-five?!”Hearing the numbers, Dr. Spears was completely confused.It had dropped from one thousand and five hundred to forty-five?! That was just too amazing!Doris’s family of three was even more sensitive to the numbers.After all, a few years ago, Doris’s father had already suffered from uremia. Due to the long exposure to the sickness, the family of three already knew about this sickness so thoroughly that they were already quite proficient at it.They were very clear about the value range of creatinine in the blood, in which the value range represented which stage the kidney was experiencing. They were very knowledgeable in this aspect.The normal range of blood creatinine was supposed to be between forty to a hundred and thirty.So, when they heard the number forty-five, the family of three burst into tears of excitement!Doris remembered something and quickly questioned Dr. Spears, “Dr. Spears, I seem to remember the value of forty-five being a little on the lower
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
Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he
As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a
Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d
Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu
Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe
Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p
Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e
"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega
In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
