Chapter 808


    ine trotted up the stairs to the second floor and tried to open the door to Charlie and ire''s


    room. She grinned triumphantly when the doorknob twisted open easily. 4


    Once she was inside the room, she began to rummage through their stuff. 3


    However, it was their first day moving into the vi. They hadn’t had the time to keep their things in


    the closets and there was nothing valuableying around. 3

    ine searched for a long time but couldn''t find Charlie’s wallet nor bank card. Just when she was


    in the midst of frustration, her eyes blinked enthusiastically when she saw Charlie''s coat hanging i n


    the closet. She hurried forward and rummaged through the pockets for a while. Finally, she found a


    ck and gold bank card in one of the pockets.


    The card was filled with words from some foreignnguage that she couldn’tprehend except for


    the fact that the card was from Citibank. 1


    She didn''t know what kind of bank card it was even after looking at the cards back and forth


    carefully, but the card looked pretty exclusive and extraordinary. 5


    She was overjoyed with her findings. She quickly kept the card into her pocket while whispering to


    herself," Hehe, Charlie oh Charlie, you don''t want to give me


    money, huh? That''s fine. I''ll take it myself! Also, if you had spoken in a slightly nicer tone just now, I


    might still leave you a few hundred dors in your ount, but you treated me so badly and even


    used Jacob as your leverage, I’m sorry, Mister, you''ve messed with the wrong person! Just wait and


    see, if I can guess your password correctly, I won''t even leave you a penny!" 4


    With the thumping heart, ine quietly left the vi and rushed to the nearest Citibank branch. 4


    Charlie, who was keeping himself busy in the kitchen, had no idea that ine was gone with his


    card. His phone suddenly rang when he was scrubbing the tes and utensils.


    He took his phone out and gaped in excitement when he saw the indicator on the screen that said


    ''Mrs.


    Lewis’.


    Charlie''s parents had died when he was eight years old. He would have died of starvation on the


    streets if i t weren''t for Mrs. Lewis from the orphanage.


    Therefore, Charlie had always been grateful to Mrs. Lewis and had never forgotten her kindness


    and grace towards him. 5


    That was also why Charlie could muster the courage t o borrow money from Lady Wilson during her


    birthday banquet because he wanted to collect funds for Mrs. Lewis''s kidney transnt surgery, i


    Later, Stephen Thompson had appeared out of nowhere, and thanks to him, Mrs. Lewis was


    transferred to Fairview Hospital in Eastcliff for the best treatment. 6


    During this period of time, Charlie only knew that her surgery went well and that she underwent an


    excellent recovery treatment thanks to Stephen’s arrangement. But he had not contacted Mrs.


    Lewis since then, as he did not want to disturb her and had wanted to make sure she had the very


    much needed rest post-surgery, s


    He quickly pressed the answer button and said, "Mrs. Lewis!" i


    Mrs. Lewis''s gentle and warm voice came from the other end of the line. "Hi, Charlie, it''s me. How


    are you?"


    He said excitedly, "I''m fine! How are you?"


    Mrs. Lewis chuckled. "I’m doing very well, there is no sign of rejection too. The doctor said that I’m


    recovering very well and I can be discharged soon. He also said that I can return to Aurous Hill in a


    few days.” 1


    Charlie was delighted. "That''s wonderful! Mrs. Lewis, please inform me on when you''ll be back. I''ll


    pick you up from the airport and celebrate your recovery."


    "No, Charlie, I can''t let you spend more. If it weren’t for the nurse who had identally spilled the


    beans, I wouldn''t know that it was you who paid the hospital bills, millions of dors of it, for my


    surgery and care. I


    don''t know how to thank you..."


    Mrs. Lewis started sobbing. 1


    Charlie felt a sense of tingling on his nose. "Oh, Mrs. Lewis, please don''t cry, I’m just doing all I can


    to help you. Do you remember how when I was eight, I wandered on the streets for three days,


    starving and exhausted? If you hadn''t brought me back to the orphanage then, I might have died on


    the streets long ago..."
