Hearing Charlie’s steadfast words, Nanako Ito felt a wave of disbelief wash over her.


    She had never imagined that her injury could actually healpletely. Yet, as Charlie spoke with such conviction, an unexpected sense of trust began to grow within her.


    In a surprised tone, she asked Charlie, “Do you really have a way to heal my injury?”


    Charlie nodded and replied, “Before I start treating you, I need to take care of these corpses first.”


    Nanako Ito quickly responded, “I’ll call the butler!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “No need for that,” Charlie interrupted gently. “I had a minor conflict with your father in Tokyo. If you inform the housekeeper about this significant issue, he’ll undoubtedly inform your father right away, and that could lead toplications.”


    Nanako Ito’s eyes widened in surprise as she asked, “Charlie, you met my father in Tokyo?! What kind of conflict did you have?”


    Charlie shrugged, saying, “It’s a long story. I’ll fill you inter, after I treat you.”


    With a yful smile, Nanako Ito teased, “Sounds like my father must have had a tough time with you…”


    Charlie chuckled, “He didn’t suffer too much; he just lost a bit of money.”


    Nanako Ito grinned and replied, “That’s fine! He’s not exactly short on cash, so losing a little doesn’t matter.”


    Charlie cleared his throat and added, “It was actually 4.5 billion US dors.”


    “What?!” Nanako Ito gasped, her eyes wide with shock. “4.5 billion dors? Are you serious?”


    With a calm smile, Charlie confirmed, “I’m serious, but I haven’t really calcted if it truly cost him that much.”


    Without missing a beat, Nanako Ito responded, “Charlie, you don’t need to worry about it. That money can be considered a thank-you gift from my father for saving my life. To him, my life is worth far more than four and a half billion dors.”


    Charlieughed, “You’re quite generous! Aren’t you worried your father will be upset with you?”


    Nanako shook her head earnestly, saying, “If he dares to be angry, I’ll just run away from home and join you in China—never toe back!”


    “Uh…”


    Charlie was momentarily speechless.


    He couldn’t tell if Nanako was joking or serious. While he would be more than happy if she meant it, he knew he couldn’t exin that to ire.


    Seeing Charlie’s hesitation, Nanako quickly added with a smile, “Charlie, I’m just joking! Even if I wanted to go to China, I’d get my own ce in Aurous Hill. I wouldn’t want to be a burden to you!”


    With a sigh, Charlie said, “Let’s put that aside for now. First, I need to deal with these six corpses. You have plenty of rooms in your yard; which one is the least used?”


    Nanako pointed to the west wing, saying, “That room is a storage area, but since I haven’t been back in a while, it’s empty.”


    Charlie nodded and replied, “It’s cold outside, so I’ll take you back to that room first, then I’ll handle the corpses. Once I’m done treating you, you can inform the housekeeper to take care of the bodies properly.”


    Nanako quickly asked, “Charlie, are you going to leave right after you heal me?”


    “Yes,” Charlie confirmed. “I need to return to Osaka, but I’lle back to China once my work there is finished.”


    Feeling a bit lost, Nanako murmured, “Then I hope… my injury never gets healed…”


    Charlie quickly replied, “Don’t say that! It’s bad luck.”


    With sincerity, Nanako stated, “In that case, if my injury isn’t healed, Charlie can stay here forever! After all, you said you can only leave once I’m healed.”


    Charlie looked at her with a helpless smile and reassured her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely heal you.”<fn0240> Th?s chapter is updated by Find~Novel</fn0240>
