GoodReadChapter 241 The morning dawned with a gloomy sky that seemed to match the somber mood of the city.
There was an important International Finance Forum happening that day, with big names like the IMF Director, CEO of the Indonesia Investment Authority, and the Chair of the Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission all set to attend.
Curtis was one of the keynote speakers, and when Caleb cto pick him up, he found him already waiting outside his apartment complex.
His dark gray overcoat seemed to accentuate the chill in his demeanor, blending in with the dreary weather. Standing tall, he was engrossed in his phone, his handsface mirroring the gloom of the day.
Caleb got out of the car and opened the door, calling out, "Mr. Richardson." Curtis pocketed his phone and looked up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn this significant day, his first words were, "All the other women are made of water, but Leanne, she's made of ice." Caleb was taken aback, speechless.
Curtis looked up at the cloudy sky, feeling like he's been chasing his tail, lost in a merry-go-round with no exit in sight.
Leanne was like that perfectly smooth egg, impossible to get a grip on. Just when he thought he'd found a crack, she sealed it back up.
Caleb asked, "So, how did you manage to woo your lady in the past?" "Back then?" Curtis settled into the car, his expression softening at the thought.
"She used to be much more approachable. Cold, yes, but not bristling with defenses, not pokingunexpectedly. I just had to warm her up slowly. Her shell was hard, but inside, she was soft." Caleb ventured further, "So where did all these defenses cfrom?" The softness on Curtis' face vanished like mist, his gaze turning cold, his tone dark, "You sure know how to hit where it hurts." Caleb cleared his throat, looking away, "Sorry for that." A couple of days later, Leanne got a call from Dr. Yates.
"Leanne, I have swonderful news. The donor has managed to arrange for Jada to be treated by specialists in Emberland. They're planning to send her over for treatment." 1/3 10-11 Chapter 241 "Really?" Leanne was surprised and then remembered Curtis mentioning "good news" that day. So, it was about Jada.
"Everything's been arranged for them. They'll be taken care of once they arrive, no need to worry about a thing." Dr. Yates was genuinely moved, "In all my years, I've never encountered such generosity. Not only offering financial support but also taking a personal interest in Jada's case as if she were his own. It's incredible how different people can be." He was clearly delighted, his words tumbling out faster than Leanne could respond.
"They are so lucky to have met him. It's like their fortunes have turned." Curtis, a generous soul? The sman who had a sick child peeled oranges for him.
"Yes, very fortunate," Leanne agreed.
"By the way," Dr. Yates transitioned, "this generous man wants to meet Jada's primary doctor to understand her condition better, considering the long journey ahead.
"Meet me?" It seemed this was his plan.
Leanne explained, "Belinda's condition requires a corneal transplant, which flying won't affect. However, her viral keratitis is somewhat contagious, so she should be careful when interacting with others." Dr. Yates thought she was hesitant.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Don't worry. I'll be there too, and I heard he's bringing his wife along. His support for them was inspired by his wife's kindness. After learning about their situation, she wanted to help, but her work made it difficult for her to be involved directly. So, he stepped in. Their good fortune is all thanks to his wife." As the wife in question, Leanne was at a loss for words.
Dr. Yates continued, "His intention is just to understand Belinda's om condition better to ensure everything is set for their treatment abroad. It's all for their benefit." With that, Leanne couldn't refuse.
She sighed, "When?" "You're off on Saturday, right?" Dr. Yates asked, "He's booked solid, so we're bending over backwards to fit him in. I'm trading my graveyard shift that day."
Leanne had just finished a night shift on Friday and planned to rest before heading to the address Dr. Yates had given her. Meeting Dr. Yates at the entrance, they entered together.
