Christian said seriously, “Merlin, you have to be a little more optimistic! Aren’t you just suffering a minor setback in your strongest field? I’m telling you, it doesn’t matter.”Christian pointed at himself and said, “Look at me! I’ve been treated as a guest of honor for so many years, no matter where I go. Even if the other party is a man who’s in his nineties, he’d take the initiative to stand up to give me the best seat. Yet, I got kicked out in front of so many people when I went to an auction some time ago. At that time, I really felt like digging a hole in the ground to hide. But just look at me now! I’ve already gotten over it!”“No matter how well you do as a human, it’s impossible for everyone to give you respect. Similarly, as a detective, no matter how good your professional skills are, you won't be able to solve all cases.”“You have to learn to accept failures and try your best to stay calm at the same time. When you look back at this matter again after some time, you
Christian was deeply shocked. He instantly stood up and demanded, “What happened?”Charlie’s aunt Lulu, who was on the other end of the line, choked as she said, “The doctor said it’s a brain hemorrhage…”“Brain hemorrhage?” Christian parroted, anxious. “What exactly happened?”Lulu sobbed, “Dad’s mental state has been really bad recently… He’s unable to sleep during this period of time. He also seems to be feeling very miserable, and is in a very bad mood… He’s also very resistant to doctors, even as his body gets weaker and weaker…”“Just now… Dad went to the bathroom by himself and suddenly fainted. He fell into a coma right after. The doctor rushed over and claimed that it was a brain hemorrhage, and that it’s caused multiple organ failures. Dad’s in a deep coma now, and he only has one or two days left at most…”Christian grew more anxious and blurted out, “How could he suddenly have multiple organ failures?! What have so many of the doctors been doing?! Can’t they cure Dad?”
At the same time, Charlie, who was on the second floor, had an ugly expression. He heard the phone call between Christian and his youngest aunt, Lulu, and he knew that his grandfather’s life was hanging by a thread now.At this moment, he could not help but feel his heart tense up.He couldn’t understand how his grandfather who was so rich and was only in his seventies, could be dying so early.According to his youngest aunt’s description over the phone, his grandfather’s life was already hanging in the balance. Aside from Charlie’s medicine, no other medicine in this world would be able to treat him.In other words, his grandfather might not be able to overcome this hurdle if he didn’t help. In any case, the man was his mother’s father. Charlie also had a quarter of his blood running in his veins. Charlie couldn’t let his grandfather die without saving him, no matter how much prejudice he had against the latter.However, he was still not mentally prepared to meet with his gra
In fact, Charlie always had three kinds of pills on him; namely, the Healing Pill, the Rejuvenating Pill, and the Cultivating Pill.The reason why he asked Quinn to send a Healing Pill instead of a Rejuvenating Pill was because on one hand, he felt that since his uncle was kicked out of the Rejuvenating Pill auction, his identity would probably be exposed if Quinn brought them a Rejuvenating Pill. Another reason was Charlie still had some difficulty forgiving his grandfather. In his opinion, why should he use the Rejuvenating Pill if the efficacy of the Healing Pill was sufficient to save his grandfather?What’s more, his father suffered a lot of discrimination in the hands of Acker family. He was already repaying grievances with virtue simply by giving them the Healing Pill. There was no need for him to do anything more.Quinn was clueless about Charlie’s thoughts. She only knew that the situation was urgent, and that she should not be delaying any further.So, she said quickly,
He then stood up, grabbed a piece of tissue paper, and wiped his mouth before turning around and walking out.Janus was truly relieved when he saw Merline leaving and walking out the door.He wasn’t afraid of Merlin finding out his identity as an illegal immigrant, but of Merlin noticing that the latter had met him before and linking Homer’s disappearance to himself.Charlie and Quinn had been to his shop more than once so. If Janus got exposed, Merlin would be able to follow the trail and find Charlie.The case of Homer’s disappearance was not perfect. It wasn’t that Merlin could not find any clues, it was only that the clues were well hidden. If Merlin found out a clue and grabbed it, he’d be able to dig out the whole truth. Just as Janus pondered over this, he saw that Charlie and Quinn were also walking down. He stepped forward and said, “Young Master Wade, why did you come down? Inspector Lammy just left. I think he’s still not far away by now.”Charlie hurriedly said, “Unc
New York JFK Airport.Two private jets took off twenty minutes apart.Charlie’s uncle Christian was on the first plane that took off first. Quinn, who had a Healing Pill with her, was on the plane that took off later. Christian was also in a state of confusion at this time. He felt extremely nervous and distressed for his father. He had never thought about waiting for his father’s death, just so that they could divide the Acker family’s property. He also knew very well that his father was the core of the Acker family. The Acker family would be severely damaged if the man died at this time.Therefore, he really didn’t want his father to suffer such hardships. Compared to other families, the Acker family was relatively united. There was little to almost no conflict between the siblings. The main reason the Acker family could be so united was because of Ashley’s unexpected death. Ashley’s death didn’t only cause the Acker family to be in great sadness, but the Acker family
Everyone could put the interests of the Acker family first. Even if there were any disagreements, they could also be objective and democratic in their discussions.It was precisely because of this structure that Kaeden, Jaxson and Lulu had all put aside all of their businesses and rushed home when Lord Acker was suddenly critically ill. At the same time, they were all waiting for their elder brother Christian to come back home to preside over the emergency situation.Quinn, who was sitting on the plane at the same time, looked at the wax pill in the white plastic box in her hand. She was feeling extremely excited.Although she knew that she shouldn’t be feeling this way in this situation, she simply couldn’t control her own feelings. Charlie was actually asking her to go to his grandparents’ house and pose as his fiancée!To Quinn, this was Charlie’s recognition of her.Compared to the previous ambiguity, Charlie’s attitude this time was a big step forward in her opinion!What
Lulu took Christian with her as they rushed all the way to the Acker family’s medical center.This medical center was not only staffed with the top experts from various departments, but it was also equipped with multiple ICU intensive care units, delivery rooms, and operating rooms.The hardware facilities here were also fully capable of handling the world’s most complex organ transplant surgery. At this time, Keith, the head of the Acker family, was lying in the largest ICU ward in the medical center. His body was plugged with various equipment and tubes, and his entire face was covered with an oxygen mask. He was relying on the ventilator to barely maintain a faint breathing. His wife, who was also Charlie’s grandmother, was sitting next to him as she rubbed his right hand gently with both her hands. She was already in tears.Although there were several doctors on standby, there was nothing they could do.In their opinion, Keith’s life was coming to an end. It was just like
