Leanne nodded. âYes, my father has suffered this terrible disease for several years and has been treated by many local and foreign famous doctors.
âDespite that, itâs not getting any better!
âYou can come to the Wright family house in three days. There will be many famous doctors there who have come to the Wright family to examine my father!
âYouâre a good doctor. You should come in handy.â
Clarence glanced at Thompson with his x-ray vision.
Thompson had a problem with his health, and it was not a small problem.
However, Clarence should be able to cure him. Besides, he still had the necklace with a cross.
âWhy bother? I can cure him now,â Clarence said faintly.
Leanne frowned.
She had just been acting polite, but who knew that Clarence actually thought he would be able to fix her father?
Although Clarence had just saved Thompsonâs life, Leanne still thought he was too young.
Countless local and foreign doctors could do nothing to cure Thompsonâs disease. Who was Clarence to say that he could?
Leanne had had a soft spot for Clarence.
However, now it seemed Clarence was no different from Belle and Melody, who were from Humanity Hall across from here.
They were people who craved greatness and success. Birds of a feather flocked together.
âNo thanks. Weâll talk about it during the local and foreign famous doctorsâ consultation three days from now.â Leanne shook her head coldly. Her attitude had become a little indifferent.
Clarence thought Leanne was afraid to go to outside clinics because of Thompsonâs incident earlier. âOkay, Iâll go to the Wright family house in three days!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHaha.â Leanne sneered and thought that what she had just been thinking about was definitely true.
Clarence had treated her father to curry favor with the Wright family.
âDad, letâs go home first,â proposed Leanne.
Thompson was in a bad state and a little out of sorts from the poisoning earlier.
âYeah.â
Thompson nodded.
Clarence warned the father and daughter pair as they headed out, âOld Master Wright, youâd better eat cold and raw food for the next three days.
âDonât smoke or drink. Youâd better not take a bath, let alone catch a cold.â
âGot it.â Without looking back, Leanne helped Thompson out of Thirteen Hall.
The two got into a Rolls-Royce and left.
Cecilia rolled her eyes. âWhy did you say yes to Leanne?â
âWhatâs the matter?â Clarence was stunned.
Cecilia looked at Clarence sulkily. âDidnât you realize? Leanneâs remarks were sarcastic.
âShe thought you were trying to curry favor with the Wright family!
âShe doesnât believe you have real medical skills.â
âI figured that out,â Clarence chuckled.
Cecilia glared at Clarence. âYou still played along with her after figuring that out? Theyâll think youâre just trying to curry favor with them.â
âIt doesnât matter. My goal is to cure people, not to curry favor or make money.â
Clarence was alright with the Murphy familyâs taunts.
What Leanne had just said to him was nothing.
âYou win,â Cecilia sighed. âBy the way, the Wright father and daughter are pretty nice. They gave you fifteen million.
âUnfortunately, your clinic has been smashed up, so you canât open it for several days.â
âIt seems so.â Clarence felt a little helpless.
Thirteen Hall had gotten off on the wrong foot with it being destroyed just after its opening.
He wondered what was going to happen after this.
Although Clarence had not opened the clinic to make a profit, this did not bode well for him.
Cecilia smiled unconcernedly. âForget it. Iâll help you clean up first, and you can find someone this afternoon to renovate the clinic.â
With that said, Cecilia walked into the ruins and began to clean up.
Clarence was quite touched.
If it were Miranda here, she would think it was Clarenceâs problem that the clinic had been smashed up.
Then, she would taunt him!
Miranda would never have even helped Clarence with cleaning up the mess. She would probably just walk away grimly.
Looking at Ceciliaâs back, Clarence felt like she looked like a housewife. He had never felt this way before.
A faint smile came over the corners of Clarenceâs lips, and he walked over to join Cecilia in cleaning up the mess.
It was already noon when they finally finished cleaning up the chaotic mess of the clinic.
Cecilia sat down in a chair, straightened out her long legs, and had a stretch. âWhew! Iâm dead tired.
âYou have to buy me dinner after all the help Iâve given you!â
âOkay. You can eat whatever you want. Donât worry, Iâll make sure youâre full!â Clarence nodded earnestly.
Cecilia exclaimed oddly, âWow. Youâve got deep pockets now that youâve got fifteen million.
âWhy donât you just keep me as a lover?
âI want to eat huge abalones and huge lobsters every day!â
âItâs not about deep pockets. Iâve been making three thousand a month from the Murphy family for years.
âNot to mention, I have tens of thousands saved up too.
âIâm treating you to dinner with my own money.â Clarence was almost speechless.
Cecilia was stunned for a moment. âThen, Iâd rather not eat abalones and lobsters. Letâs just go to any roadside restaurant.â
She knew it was not easy for Clarence to make money. As the Murphy familyâs son-in-law, he only made three thousand a month.
It was a little surprising that he had not gotten ahead of himself after getting fifteen million dollars.
âOkay.â
Clarence nodded. Together, they locked up Thirteen Hall and went to dinner.
Beep beep beep! Suddenly, Clarenceâs phone rang. It was Mirandaâs caller ID. âClarence, where are you?â
âClinic. Whatâs the matter?â
Mirandaâs voice was a little frantic. âThatâs enough. Do you really want to run a clinic?
âDonât you know what youâre capable of and how good you are at medicine?
âSomethingâs happened to Dad. Go to the antique market at once.â
âSomethingâs happened to Dad? Whatâs happened?â Clarence was taken aback.
âIâll explain once I get there. Iâll see you at the antique market in thirty minutes.â
Miranda hung up the phone impatiently, feeling very upset.
Clarence looked a little awkwardly at Cecilia. He wanted to speak but came to a pause. âCecilia...â
He had just promised Cecilia that he would take her out to dinner, but this had gotten in the way.
The dinner was not going to happen.
âAlright, Iâve got it. Your wifeâs looking for you.â Ceciliaâs tone sounded a little jealous. âGo ahead. Iâll eat by myself.â
âCecilia, Iâm sorry. Iâll treat you to dinner next time. Somethingâs happened to my dad,â explained Clarence.
âI understand. Go.â
Cecilia gave him a very understanding smile.
Clarence nodded, rushed into the Ferrari, and drove to the antique market.
Clarence had been to the antique market on Armstrongâs sixtieth birthday, so he was familiar with it.
Clarence met Miranda, who had also just arrived, at the antique marketâs entrance.
âMiranda, what happened to Dad?â Clarence hurried over.
Miranda glanced at Clarence and strode toward the antique market. âDad had a lot of time on his hands today, so he wanted to go to the antique market to look for some things. Who couldâve guessed, he was tricked at the stone gambling workshop in First Pavilion.â
âDad was tricked? What happened?â Clarence raised his eyebrow.
âStop asking questions. Arenât you annoying? Youâll find out when you get there.â Miranda did not even look back at him.
