Chapter 524
Charmine waited on the same spot, but it did not take long before Dr. Weir came out of his house with a few books in his arms. The books seemed ancient, with dark blue covers and old
styled writings. (Secrets of Weir], [Weir’s Medications], [Notes from Weir)…
Charmine’s brows furrowed at the sight of the books. She had heard about them before, and they were the most invaluable books in the medical world. No matter which book it was, in it were recorded methods for curing some diseases unknown to regular people. Someone offered 50 million in the black market to get any of these books, while other descendants and students of the Weir family even fought hard for them, but Dr. Weir safeguarded them all. Who would have thought that Dr. Weir would bring them all out? Dr. Weir placed them on the table nonchalantly. He flipped open one of them and tore it down in front of Charmine.
Rip!
Charmine’s eyelids twitched. “Uncle Weir, what are you doing? These books are very precious
“How precious can it be? From now on, these books belong to you. Bring home and have a read, and if you don’t feel like reading, just put them aside. You can even use them to clean your windows.”
Speaking carefreely, Dr. Weir sat at the table and folded the paper he tore out. Charmine was shocked. He asked her to bring home these precious books to clean her windows? She had only met Dr. Weir for a day, and he treated her with such kindness! Was he not going too overboard with this…?
Dr. Weir continued, “Don’t think too much. These books are giving me a headache, and you don’t know how annoying it gets. I’ve known each of these books too well, and all the apprentices fought against one another just to get these books. Look, as their senior, it’ll seem biased no matter who I handed them to this is a recipe for trouble. Also, the properties, companies, and factories are merely worth a penny or two. Is it worth it for them to kill one another?”
Charmine was at a loss for words.
Cough, cough!
Luckily, Dr. Weir’s apprentices did not hear this, or they would have thrown up blood. It did not help that his choice of words was triggering! What did he mean, ‘merely worth a penny or two? Did he not know how many people would die to earn these pennies?! 1 Although she did not care about the money, she would not say things like that. Lost in her thoughts, Dr. Weir folded the piece of paper into a paper crane and handed it to Charmine. “Charmine, have a look. This is a paper crane I folded for you. Do you like it?”
Chapter 524
Charmine looked over to see that the paper filled with words had been transformed into a paper crane. It looked unexpectedly nice.
Did Dr. Weir tear a page out of a precious book just to make her a paper crane?
“Don’t underestimate this paper crane. In ancient times, people folded it to pray for recovery, and it then became a symbol of prayer. Every paper crane could carry one wish or prayer. If you have any worries, just pray to this paper crane. It’s effective-I can guarantee your wish will come true!” 1
Charmine’s heart was filled with warmth Dr. Weir saw that she was upset, and he…
That torn-out paper folded into a paper crane would have been worth a few million…
This might as well be the most precious paper crane in the world.
She accepted with gratitude. “Thank you, Uncle, but I don’t have any worries in mind.”
“Still denying it, huh? Quick, make a prayer in front of me now. I can guarantee your dream will come true!” Dr. Weir pestered.
Charmine found it strange. Why would an old and established doctor believe in such childish and romantic things? Why was he pestering her to make a wish as well?
One could tell by his look that he was indeed waiting for her to make a wish. Something felt strange…
