Chapter 500
They were Joey and Adam.
They no longer had any cars after the Jordans went bankrupt, thus they could only rely on public transports. They took the bus to visit Charmine.
This bus station was half an hour’s walk away from Violet Villa.
Joey and Adam felt embarrassed and awkward when they saw Charmine. They had never lived like this before; they had never been so poor their entire life. 2
They never expected Charmine would see them at their worst…
Charmine’s hands on the handlebars halted, though after a moment of hesitation, she raced away without sparing them a glance as though they were strangers. Were they pitiable? No, not at all. In Charmine’s first year of middle school, Adam slapped her and made her take public transport for a whole month just because she accidentally dropped an ice-cream on Tiffany in the car. They attended the most prestigious private school in Burlington where all of the students were of the wealthiest families. Every student went to school in all kinds of luxury cars, and some even showed up in limited edition cars. Tiffany went to school in a customized car white car while Charmine, throughout that month, had to take public transport every day. By the time she arrived, her shoes would have been stood on by others, her hair messed up with weird scents all over her. 1
Every student gave her dirty looks as they sneered at her. “Huh? The Jordans have such an adopted daughter? How embarrassing!” “One Tiffany is enough for the Jordans. Why would they pick up this girl from the bin?” “If I was a part of the Jordan family, I would’ve thrown her out! Disgusting!” Thinking of that, Charmine’s eyes turned dull. They should experience the pain they made her endure.
At Royal Hospital. Senior Jordan, Felix, Lily, and Amelia were sitting in the ward. They were watching over Robert, but every one of them was waiting for Charmine. 1 Senior Jordan was uneasy and wondered if Charmine would agree to come back for a meal with them. The other three, on the other hand, waited to know if Charmine would save the family so they would not have to live here anymore, that they no longer had to live so vulgarly. 1 Although the hospital ward was more than 70-square wide with a sofa and a private bathroom, living all together in such a confined space was unacceptable for the usually pampered Jordans. 1 It was then they heard footsteps closing in at the door, thus they turned, thinking it was Charmine. Little did they expect to see Julian by the door.
Julian was dressed in a suit, looking classy and handsome. When Senior Jordan saw him, his eyelids twitched. “Get out!” Although there were still many things they did not know of, Senior Jordan despised him at how he played with both of his granddaughters’ feelings. Julian merely replied calmly, “Senior Jordan, I’m here trying to help Robert.” With that, a young-looking doctor walked up behind him. The doctor was dressed in a green long-sleeved shirt, exuding an air of crisp elegance. When they saw him, their eyes widened.
That was Hubert Warren, the young yet well-renowned physician in Burlington! Even though Hubert was only 30 years old, his fame was well-known. There was once an athlete who was disabled and ended up using a wheelchair for 10 years. Every specialist was, clueless, yet Hubert was able to save him through acupuncture. The athlete got back on his feet, and that went viral.
Apparently, Hubert was the only apprentice of Doctor Weir, the best physician in Burlington. The Weir family’s ancestor was the in-house physician for the Royal Palace, having established and maintained their exceptional fame and reputation for a few hundred years.
The Weir family earned worldwide recognition through their exceptional skills and reputation. Hubert, being a student of Dr. Weir, was seldom seen in public.
After what happened to Robert, Senior Jordan did try to reach out to Hubert with no luck. Who would have thought that Julian could invite him instead?
