Despite the difficulty of disobeying his master's orders, Charles Wellington eventually left Brownfield village with the sixteen marriage proposals in his hands. Before departing, the old man knocked Charles's head and instructed him,
"Listen carefully, you checky brat. I don't care about the other marriage proposals, but you must handle the one with the Logan family properly. The head of the Logan's family did me a favor in the past, so I agreed to the marriage proposal to repay the favor. But even if you don't marry his granddaughter, you must find another way to repay the favor for me. Also, you must return back to the village in four months. Your future training depends on it. Do you hear me?!"
"Yes master" Charles replied.
Several days later, Charles Wellington arrived in a small city called Orange county. The Logan family that the old man had specifically mentioned lived here. Also following Charles Wellington was Melissa Quinton, who had arrived at the same time as him.
As they exited the train station, the local dignitaries of Orange county had already learned of Melissa's arrival and had prepared a grand welcome ceremony with flowers, banners, and dozens of cars. Meanwhile, Charles didn't even have anyone to pick him up. It was a pitiful sight.
"Do you see this?" Melissa said. "This is the difference between you and me. You can spend your whole life trying to reach my level, but you'll never get there. However, if you agree to be my boyfriend, I'll share all my wealth and prosperity with you. You won't lose out!" She bragged as she continued to persuade Charles, but he didn't give her any attention, but instead remained silent.
This woman was determined to get revenge on his brother, but when she faced him, Charles only responded coldly
"Boring" and then turned and disappeared into the crowd.
"You..." Melissa gritted her teeth in anger.
Indeed, they were true brothers. In terms of making people angry, Charles Wellington was even better than his brother, Maxwell Wellington.
However, Melissa Quinton was not discouraged.
Watching Charles's figure disappear, Melissa's eyes flashed with a hint of determination.
"I don't believe I can't handle your brother. And I'll handle you too.This general must take you as her own! And then make your brother die of anger!"
"General Melissa, you must be tired from your journey. The banquet is ready and your accommodations have been prepared..." At this moment, the mayor of Orange county came up to greet and welcome Melissa and her crew.
Meanwhile, Charles Wellington had already left the train station and was searching for the location of the Logan family according to the address in the marriage contract.
As for Melissa Quinton, she was just a boring woman. Charles Wellington had long since thrown her out of his mind.
At the same time, Charles was secretly thinking about how to politely and gracefully reject the marriage contract with the Logan family without causing any embarrassment.
"That old man owes the Logan patriarch a favor, but now he wants me to marry his granddaughter to repay it.This obviously illogical situation can only have one reason, which is: this Logan family granddaughter must be an ugly duckling that can't get married, and they tricked me into taking her off their hands. Hmph, does that old man think he can trick me?I'll be the first to reject this marriage!"
With eighteen marriage proposals in his hand, Charles smiled confidently.
.....
"Strange, did I take the wrong turn?"
Half an hour later, after wandering around the area, Charles realized that he seemed to have lost his way and decided to ask for directions from someone.
He looked around and finally entered a nearby clinic.
"Dr Martins, please take a look at my daughter. She fainted suddenly at work today and hasn't woken up since."
As soon as Charles Wellington entered the door, he heard an anxious voice from a middle-aged man.
And his daughter lay on the stretcher in front of him. Her pretty face was pale and haggard, but it did not hide her exquisite features.
There was also a beautiful woman next to the stretcher, wiping away tears incessantly.
Soon, an old man with white hair walked over and, after a brief examination, said calmly,
"No problem at all. It's just a cold caused by overwork and lack of rest. After I apply a few treatments she would be fine"
Upon hearing that his daughter was fine, Mr James Logan and his wife finally relaxed.
"Then we'll trouble Dr Martins" James Logan said respectfully.
"Treating illness and saving lives is our duty, no need to be polite." Old Dr Martins nodded, and then asked one of his assistants to bring some medical equipments preparing to begin treatment on the unconscious lady on the stretcher.
Suddenly, a voice quietly came out.
"Dr Martins, if you apply those injections, not only will you not save her, but this girl will have to lie in bed for at least seven more days. If things go wrong, it could even endanger her life."
At the entrance of the clinic, Charles Wellington stood there, watching Dr Martins about to prick the injection needle on the patient.
"Hmm?"
"Who are you?"
"Judging from your tone, you must be a doctor?"
The sudden voice startled everyone.
Dr Martins, who was about to perform the treatment, frowned, and asked Charles Wellington, his tone tinged with annoyance.
Being questioned in public about his medical skills, this person must be here to make trouble.
Charles smiled and said
"Old sir, don't misunderstand me. I am not a physician, nor do I want to cause trouble. I just came to ask for directions. It's just a coincidence that I happened to run into..."
"Get lost, you're here to asked for directions?!"
Before Charles could finish his sentence, the middle-aged man, James Logan cursed directly.
"Dr Martins is the best doctor in Orange county, a divine physician. Are you capable of saving lives or harming them? Do you know better than a wild kid like you? Get out of here! If you delay my daughter's treatment, I will hunt you down and kill you!" Mr Logan said, extremely angry.
When it came to his daughter's health and safety, he would not tolerate any interference from outsiders.
Charles Wellington sighed and shook his head when he saw this.
In this day and age, no one wants to hear the truth.
Forget it, if they don't want to listen, then so be it.
After all, he was just a passerby, not related to them. He had already done his duty by reminding them earlier.
Charles decided to leave and find someone else to ask for directions.
"Dr Martins, pls don't take the young man's nonsense to heart."
"We trust your medical skills!"
After Charles Wellington left, Mr Logan and his wife praised Dr Martins again.
Mr Martins nodded in satisfaction and continued with what he was doing.
After a moment, Dr Martins finished administering his treatment and confidently stated,
"Wait a minute or two, she should wake up soon."
"Thank you, Mr. Martins" the Logan couple repeatedly expressed their gratitude.
But little did they know, as soon as those words fell, the woman on the sickbed began violently convulsing, with fresh blood spilling from her mouth and nose. Even her breathing rapidly deteriorated.
"Yvonne, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother," the woman cried tearfully.
"Dr Martins, what's going on?" Mr Logan immediately asked Dr Martins.
Dr Martins was equally shocked. He had not expected this outcome.
In his anxiety, he immediately stepped forward to administer another injection, but it was completely futile. Seeing the girl's breathing becoming weaker and weaker, Dr Martins, in a panic state, ultimately sat down with a pale face, indicating that he was powerless to save her.
Hearing this, Mr Logan felt as if the sky had collapsed.
He had just lost his father, and now, was he going to lose his daughter too?
"James, that young man from earlier!" Amidst her grief, the woman suddenly remembered something and shouted to her husband.
Logan James's body trembled, clearly realizing something.
Then, as if going insane, he rushed out of the clinic.
....
At that moment, Charles Wellington had just finished asking for directions and was about to leave. Suddenly, the middle aged man from inside that clinic suddenly caught up to him.
"Esteemed young man. Earlier on, you saw through the mystery of my daughter's illness at a glance and is clearly well-versed in medicine. My daughter is in critical condition now, please help her quickly!" James Logan begged with a bitter voice, kneeling before Charles, but Charles just smiled and said,
"What?, You told me to get lost just now, and now you want me to go back? Sorry, I have something else to do and I'm not available." Charles Wellington shook his head and prepared to leave.
As the master said, human hearts are hard to fathom, and good deeds should be done with caution. Just like earlier, he kindly reminded him, but was scolded instead.
Anyway, the city's tricks are too deep. It's better to have less trouble than more. Besides, this abandoned young master also has a temper. You scolded me and still want me to save your daughter? Where in the world does such a good thing exist?
"Little brother, what happened earlier was all my fault. I was blind and didn't recognize your value. I apologize to you for that. But pls right now, I beg you, as long as you can save my daughter, I, James Logan, will definitely repay you. In the future, if you need anything, you can come to me. I can offer you work, money, anything. If you don't believe me, my father, Patrick Logan, is well-known in the city. He created the Logan Group... as long as you can help, our Shen family will never let you down."
James Logan kept apologizing, anxious and even promised Charles Wellington money and work. At first, Charles was unmoved, but when he heard the name Patrick Logan, his expression suddenly changed.
"Are you saying that your father is Patrick Logan of the prestigious Logan family?"
"So, that girl is Patrick's granddaughter, Yvonne Logan?" Charles Wellington asked.
James Logan nodded.
Chu Lin became anxious.
Damn it!
"Why didn't you say it earlier?, Hurry, take me back so I can quickly save your daughter" Charles said running back towards the direction of the clinic.
Logan James was a little confused, because Charles Wellington rushed faster than him.
But he didn't put this into consideration, but instead quickly followed the young man, because right now all that was important was about saving his daughter's life.
