Chapter 197



Jordan, the big, rough country bumpkin, bowed to Nora and said, “Miss Smith!”.

Logan, “¿?”

Totally stunned by the sight, he felt like his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

Nora greeted him nonchalantly and asked, “Yes. Is Jimmy all right now?”

Jordan was exceptionally respectful of her. He replied, “He’s fine now. His mother wanted to come and apologize in person, but Jimmy is still hospitalized for now, so she can’t come at the moment. This is all her fault for not appreciating your kindness. Don’t worry, Miss Smith, I’ll teach her a good lesson!”

Nora raised her eyebrows as she heard what he said.

Indeed, the next moment, Jordan explained, “To be honest, this incident was a consequence of our negligence as parents. We didn’t expect Jimmy to be unable to explain his symptoms clearly due to his young age, so he didn’t express them clearly to the doctor even when we took him to the hospital, which ended up delaying his treatment at first. Geez! It was a lucky thing that you came to my house last night. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to save Jimmy this time! By the way, the hospital asked about the pill you gave Jimmy last night. They want to buy a batch of it…”.

Nora yawned and replied, “They can contact my uncle about that.”

Simon was handling all Harmonia Pharmacy business.

Jordan nodded immediately and said, “Okay, no problem.”

Nora nodded. Seeing that Jordan was still staring at her, she hesitantly asked, “Is there anything else?”

Jordan immediately shook his head. “No, there’s nothing else. You’ve saved Jimmy’s life, Miss Smith. If there is anything you need in the future, I, Jordan, will do anything you ask.”

“… Oh, okay.” Nora paused for a moment before yawning again. Then, she said, “Okay, I’m going to sleep.”

She turned to go into the bedroom, but instead saw Pete standing and looking at her expectantly. She let out a quiet sigh and said, “Mom.”

Nora, “?”

Only then did she remember what had happened to Pete. So, she said to Jordan, “By the way, Mr. Hoffman, can you ask your wife to withdraw her complaint against Pete…I mean Cherry, and let her go back to the garden?”

Jordan nodded immediately. “No problem! The Hoffmans will cover Cherry’s tuition expenses in the future.”

“… No need to do that.”

“Don’t be formal Miss Smith. Besides, I’ll have Jimmy protect Cherry in the garden in the future, so no one will bully her!”

Pete, “…”

He quietly picked up his backpack, slung it over his shoulders and went downstairs. Then, he asked the Andersons’ chauffeur, “Sir, can you take me to the garden?”.

Nora, “…”

Nora went back to her bedroom to sleep after the little boy left.

Logan and Jordan were the only ones gawking downstairs.

Jordan nonchalantly walked over to Logan and patted him on the shoulder. He sighed and said, “Boy, we have to give at least three days notice if we want to postpone a race. We’ve already missed the deadline today, how about this? I will try to contact Yanci for you and see if he is willing to come back and help you participate in the race. If he is not willing to do so, then you will have to prepare $50 million. I will guarantee your safety after the race.”

In the past, the Andersons would definitely be able to shell out $50 million.

But now…

Logan knew Jordan had already done all he could, so he nodded.

Before they left, Logan asked, “What’s going on between you and Nora, Mr. Hoffman?”

Jordan gave him a simple recounting of what happened and left.

When he left, Logan went upstairs. Before entering his room, he glanced into the bedroom where Nora was.

He knew Nora was a doctor, but he hadn’t expected her to be skilled enough to save Jordan’s son.

Logan looked at his ankle…. He wondered if Nora could heal his injury.

But even if she could, there was no way she could right now.

The race was in two days. They really had no more time to waste. Instead, he would ask her again after the race.

With that in mind, Logan went into his room.

He wasn’t to sit around and do nothing.

Given the state of his ankle, he would definitely lose if he participated in the race.

He sat down and pulled out his computer. He found Yanci’s e-mail address and sent her a message, “Yanci, can I know if you are interested in the racing competitions held in the United States?”

He lay down on the bed after sending the email. Then, suddenly, she received a call from Jordan. Jordan’s voice was very strong as he said, “It has suddenly occurred to me that I may have a way to contact Yanci. How about this? I’ll get in touch with him for you.”

Logan replied, “I just sent him an email, but I don’t know if he will come.”

Jordan said in a friendly way, “Let me do it instead. I’m a little more familiar with him than you are. After all, we’ve talked before.”

When he said they had talked before, he was referring to their email correspondence in the past.

Logan was very grateful to him. He said, “Okay. Thank you Mr. Hoffman.”

“You’re welcome.”

At the Hunts’ house.

“Wow, Little Yellow is so flashy!”

Cherry circled Logan’s sports car and inspected it eagerly. Sean watched the Little Lord out of the corner of his eye. He couldn’t help but feel that there was something off about him lately.

He asked respectfully, “Shall we put the car in the garage?”

“No!”

Cherry said childishly, “I want to change the color of it!”.

Sean nodded.

Yellow didn’t seem such an attractive color to him either. It was too ostentatious and not discreet enough. It also didn’t suit Mr. Hunt’s sense of aesthetics. Swapping it for black, white or gray seemed like a good idea to him.

He was about to suggest it when Cherry declared, “I want it changed to pink, yes!”.

Sean, “?”

He was taken aback for a moment. He looked at ‘Pete’ in disbelief and uttered, “What?”

“Pink, yes!”

Cherry jumped back home after saying that. Sean followed her. When they entered the living room together, Justin had just finished processing some documents and was on his way out.

When the two of them met, Sean suddenly said, “Mr. Hunt, Pete just told me to change the color of the sports car to pink. How about…?”

Justin smiled and replied, “Okay, do what he says.”

“…”

Sean was stunned.

Mr. Hunt, are you serious, are you sure you want to turn Senorito into a little princess?

As he stood dumbfounded, he saw Justin approach Cherry. He bent down, picked her up, and asked, “Will Daddy play Barbies with you today?”

“Okay! Daddy’s the best, yeah!”

Sean, “…”

Sean swallowed hard. Then, he looked at Justin and told him what he had discovered earlier that day. Justin, who was about to leave, paused for a moment.

Cherry said, “Did someone bully Uncle Logan? Dad, let’s go help him! Even though Uncle Logan pretends to be cool all the time, he’s actually really nice!”.

When Justin heard what she was saying, he looked at Cherry fondly and asked, “Do you want to watch the car races?”

Cherry nodded repeatedly.

Justin looked at Sean and said, “Set up two tickets.”

“Yes sir.”

Elsewhere, when Pete got home, Nora said, “There’s an underground car race in two days. Do you want to go watch?”
