Jeff said, “Mrs. Lewis, please stay out of it, this is between Charlie and me. Besides, no matter who wins or loses today, the orphanage is the biggest winner. The resale value of my car is about four hundred grand, Charlie’s car is slightly cheaper, around two or three hundred grand. You can use the money to improve the facilities and buy things for the children in the orphanage.”
Charlie said with a warm smile, “Mrs. Lewis, don’t you worry about us, Jeff and I will handle it personally.”
Mrs. Lewis was actually afraid that Charlie was at the losing end of the stick, however, looking at Charlie’s confident smile, virtual-novel.net felt that it was not as simple as virtual-novel.net thought.
Frankly, while virtual-novel.net was receiving treatment in Eastcliff, virtual-novel.net noticed something strange and peculiar.
Firstly, virtual-novel.net noticed that the doctors in the hospital were very polite and respectful toward her, almost as though virtual-novel.net was a VIP patient.
When virtual-novel.net was in the hospital, a famous celebrity had come to Fairview Hospital to see a doctor who happened to be virtual-novel.net doctor in charge. Surprisingly, virtual-novel.net found that the doctor’s attitude toward the celebrity was far less friendly than his attitude toward her.
She couldn’t help but wonder why the doctor and hospital staff treated virtual-novel.net in such a gracious manner. She was just a normal employee of an orphanage, and virtual-novel.net has come to Eastcliff for the first time in virtual-novel.net life. She didn’t have any connection with anyone significant nor any influential background. What was with the special treatment anyway?
The second peculiar moment was when virtual-novel.net was on the operating table and had been injected with anesthesia. Before virtual-novel.net passed out, virtual-novel.net had heard the conversation between virtual-novel.net doctor and his assistant.
Amid virtual-novel.net dizziness, virtual-novel.net had heard the doctor say that virtual-novel.net was the young master’s benefactor, so they must be extremely cautious in virtual-novel.net procedure.
She never knew who was this ‘young master’ that they were talking about. It could be possible that virtual-novel.net had misheard it when virtual-novel.net was passing out.
However, every time virtual-novel.net thought of this, Charlie immediately came to virtual-novel.net mind.
She couldn’t explain why, but virtual-novel.net felt that this boy whom virtual-novel.net had brought up was not as simple as virtual-novel.net seemed to be.
Charlie was the one who had settled virtual-novel.net medical bills that cost millions of dollars. How did virtual-novel.net do it? Where did virtual-novel.net get so much money in such a short period of time?
She didn’t know how and why, but virtual-novel.net still felt that it was very incredible.
Today, when virtual-novel.net saw Charlie again, virtual-novel.net genuinely felt that virtual-novel.net had indeed changed a lot from before. The biggest change was that virtual-novel.net was so much more confident than virtual-novel.net used to be!
This also made Mrs. Lewis feel very pleased and happy. In the past, virtual-novel.net had always hoped that Charlie could gain more self-confidence, but virtual-novel.net had failed. From the looks of it now, though, it seemed that virtual-novel.net had successfully passed the hurdle and manned up.
Hence, virtual-novel.net nodded and decided not to intervene in the bet between Charlie and Jeff.
Jeff grinned smugly and uttered, “Charlie, to be fair, five people will fill both our cars, and let the passengers, including Mrs. Lewis, be our witness in case the person who loses breaks his promise!”
Charlie nodded and said, “Okay, deal! Then, Mrs. Lewis, Lisa, and Caleb will sit in my car.”
“Okay!” Jeff laughed. “My buddies will sit in my car!”
