In truth, Charlie was well aware in his heart that Jasmine harbored some feelings for him.
Yet, he found himself unsure about how to navigate this newfound affection. As a result, he opted to act as if nothing was happening, hoping to handle the situation when the time was right.

The following morning, Donald rose early.
He had tossed and turned all night, consumed with worry about finding Anthony to help treat his second son, Kian.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Kian’s condition remained quite grim. The ordeal of having to eat shit had not improved at all, and his emotional state was deteriorating rapidly.
Who could me him? Enduring such a horrific experience more than twenty times a day would test anyone’s resilience, leaving him feeling utterly overwhelmed.
Moreover, Kian had been raised in a life offort and privilege. The thought of enduring this for the rest of his life was a fate worse than death for him.
Thus, Donald was desperate to find a cure for his son as soon as possible. He longed for Kian to return to his former self, and he also felt an intense desire for revenge against whoever had caused this suffering. It wasn’t just about vengeance; he wanted to ensure that no one else would have to endure simr pain in the future.
With this determination in mind, Donald skipped breakfast at the Moore family mansion. Instead, he woke Kian, gathered some bodyguards, and headed straight to the Serene World Clinic.
As they drove, Donald was filled with hope and anticipation, while Sean, Kian’s brother, felt somewhat disheartened.
In truth, Sean secretly wished that his brother’s condition would never improve, as this would spare him from a lot of hassle.
So, he tentatively asked his father, “Dad, do you really think Dr. Simmons can cure Kian?”
“I have faith that he will be able to help him,” Donald replied confidently. “If Dr. Simmons can treat high-paraplegia, then I believe he can certainly help your brother.”
Sean nodded, though a sense of discouragement lingered within him.<fn621c> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? Find1Novel</fn621c>
They soon arrived at the Serene World Clinic, where a bodyguard promptly opened the car door for Donald and his son.
Stepping out, Donald noticed a long line of people waiting outside the clinic.
He couldn’t help but sigh, remarking, “It seems this genius doctor is quite remarkable and in high demand.”
At that moment, an assistant approached them and said respectfully, “Mr. Webb, Dr. Simmons sees only ten patients each day. However, the selection is based on the severity of each patient’s condition, not on the order of the queue. Even if you’re at the front, if Dr. Simmons determines that your case is not urgent, he may suggest you seek treatment elsewhere.”
“Understood,” Donald replied, ncing at the lengthy line. Disgusted by the sight of so many people, he instructed his bodyguard, “Take some cash from the trunk and offer each person a thousand dors to leave the line immediately.”
The bodyguard nodded and quickly retrieved cash from the trunk. Approaching the front of the line, he announced loudly, “The Serene World Clinic will be closed for the day. If you’re already in line,e forward to receive one thousand dors, then you can leave and return another day!”
The crowd was not pleased with this announcement. Someone shouted from the back, “Why should we go? We should respect the genius doctor’s rules! Everyone has to wait their turn for treatment!”
The bodyguard leader scoffed and retorted, “Why are you making such a fuss when we’re offering you a thousand dors for nothing?!”
The man shot back, “A thousand dors? My mother is seriously ill, and I brought her here for the genius doctor’s help! Do you really think that amount is worth so much? How about I give you a thousand dors to get as far away from here as you can instead?!”
“You ungrateful fool! Do you not appreciate our generosity?” The leader of the bodyguards red at the man, then ordered his subordinates, “Beat him up! Teach him a lesson!”
