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, she felt that it was not as simple as she thought.
Frankly, while she was receiving treatment in Eastcliff, she noticed something strange and peculiar.
Firstly, she noticed that the doctors in the hospital were very polite and respectful toward her, almost as though she was a VIP patient.
When she was in the hospital, a famous celebrity had come to Fairview Hospital to see a doctor who happened to be her doctor in charge. Surprisingly, she 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 her in such a gracious manner. She was just a normal employee of an orphanage, and she has come to Eastcliff for the first time in her 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 she was on the operating table and had been injected with anesthesia. Before she passed out, she had heard the conversation between her doctor and his assistant.
Amid her dizziness, she had heard the doctor say that she was the young master’s benefactor, so they must be extremely cautious in her procedure.
She never knew who was this ‘young master’ that they were talking about. It could be possible that she had misheard it when she was passing out.
However, every time she thought of this, Charlie immediately came to her mind.
She couldn’t explain why, but she felt that this boy whom she had brought up was not as simple as he seemed to be.
Charlie was the one who had settled her medical bills that cost millions of dollars. How did he do it? Where did he get so much money in such a short period of time?
She didn’t know how and why, but she still felt that it was very incredible.
Today, when she saw Charlie again, she genuinely felt that he had indeed changed a lot from before. The biggest change was that he was so much more confident than he used to be!
This also made Mrs. Lewis feel very pleased and happy. In the past, she had always hoped that Charlie could gain more self-confidence, but he had failed. From the looks of it now, though, it seemed that he had successfully passed the hurdle and manned up.
Hence, she 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!”
