Emily didn't leave much room for herself to think. She couldn't figure out how to explain her situation so she just gave a hesitant nod and said, "Thank you, Dr. Lin." Jonas Lin had an extensive history of charity work. Dealing with the lady right then and there came naturally to him after doing it for so long.
Needless to say, he was a smart man with a considerable amount of experience. He got the gist of the incident from Emily's simple description in a matter of seconds. He gave his best smile to the upset woman and said, "Don't worry, I'm a doctor. I should be able to help with your daughter's illness. Why don't you give me your address and I'll pay her a visit tomorrow?"
He even took out his doctor's ID to reassure the lady.
The way he acted so naturally made it seem like he was in total control of the situation.
The angry woman was completely stunned and couldn't think of a single word to respond. However, she wasn't ready to end the argument just yet. "This is surely a trick! Are you a hired actor? I don't believe you at all!"
Jonas maintained his composure. He was like spring breeze in the summer heat. He calmly asked, "All right then, what would you like us to do?"
Upon realizing that they were causing a ruckus, the woman hesitated to go on. Furthermore, the unusual looks she received made her feel quite ashamed. But there was no turning back for her anymore. The arrow was already set on the string and the only thing left to do was to release it. She cleared her throat and firmly stated her request, word by word. "If you give me money for my daughter's medical fees for this month, then I won't give you any further trouble."
Despite the fact that the medical fee had already been covered, the woman was still asking for it!
Emily was furious with the woman's despicable attitude. Her eyebrows furrowed while she glared at her.
On the other hand, Jonas maintained a calm expression on his face. "Which hospital is your daughter admitted to?"
The woman was dubious to the doctor's claim but she answered, "The First Central Hospital."
Jonas gently smiled at her once again. He lightly chuckled before responding, "The dean of the First Central Hospital is my uncle. How about I give him a call right now and ask him to personally take care of your daughter?"
The woman panicked when she heard Jonas' words and her thoughts were scattered all around. Then she asked, "What about the money?"
Jonas still had a smile on his face even after all this difficulty. Then he replied in a calm tone, "Oh, of course, I'll transfer it directly to the hospital's bank account."
The woman's eyebrows twitched while the expression on her face darkened. She fiercely exclaimed, "No way! That won't work!"
By then, even Emily could tell that the woman was acting suspiciously. She thought to herself, 'Did this woman cause all this trouble just to swindle some money?'
The woman realized that her true motive had been figured out, so she quickly made up an excuse to leave. "I don't believe your damn words! I'd rather take my
ned to avoid catching anyone's attention.
Meanwhile, in the CEO Office of HT Group, a storm was brewing.
Jacob's tall, slender figure cast a dim shadow in front of his large office window. He lit up a cigarette and slowly placed it in his mouth. Surrounded by smoke, a gloomy atmosphere hovered over him. His dejected emotions showed through his eyes.
'Why would Emily have dinner with that man?
Was it because he helped her this afternoon? Shouldn't she have called me for help instead?'
These were the thoughts that raced through Jacob's mind. His blood felt as if it was frozen. Jacob finished his cigarette and wanted to light one more because of the sheer amount of irritation he felt. Suddenly, he received a message on his phone.
"Mr. Gu, they're leaving the restaurant as we speak."
Jacob acutely stared at the message for quite some time. He didn't even blink once for the whole duration. Out of nowhere, a peculiar smile slowly appeared on his face.
He pressed the cigarette butt on the ashtray on his desk. Then, he picked up his suit jacket and put it on. He ignored the documents he was reading and pushed them aside. Then, he quickly strode out of his office.
By the time he returned to the mansion, the sky was completely black.
A few stars were shining brightly outside the window. Jacob casually sat on the sofa, reading a financial newspaper in his hands.
A few minutes later, he heard the sound of a key opening the front door. He stopped reading to regain his composure. He sat straight up and acted like he was completely at ease.
"Welcome home," he uttered in a warm, calm tone.
Emily didn't notice that her husband was distressed. This calm before the storm gave her a false illusion of serenity. Her lovely face was pleasantly surprised, "Wow! Why are you home so early?"
Jacob lowered his gaze to hide his woeful eyes. He responded with his best attempt at sounding calm at that moment. "I've been thinking, I would like to leave work early from now on to accompany you at the foundation."
