[Chapter 112]
David drove off with Jacey sitting exceptionally excited in the passenger seat beside him.
Sally, her husband, and her daughter sat in the back seat.
There was a reason this luxury car was worth three million. If it was any other car, Sally might have felt very uncomfortable due to her sprained back.
However, the G-Wagon did not jostle at all as it drove smoothly and comfortably on the road.
On the way to the hospital, David gave Charles a call and asked him to put in a word to River City Hospital to prepare for their arrival.
David and the others arrived at River City Hospital at two pm the same day.
The Director of River City Hospital, Tom Lake, had already been waiting for a while when they arrived. Mr. Luther had put in a word for David, so he did not dare to make the latter wait.
"Mr. Lidell, we meet again!" Director Tom immediately went up to greet David when he saw the other alight the car.
"I'll have to trouble you again, Dr. Lake," David said politely.
"You're too polite, Mr. Lidell! It's our job."
The two shared a polite conversation as they brought Sally to get an expert's consultation.
At four pm, Sally went for surgery.
While Sally was in surgery, David went to check on Paul and told the man to focus on recovering before anything else.
It was almost five by the time the surgery ended.
The hospital had originally planned to admit Sally to the best hospital room there was, but Sally did not want to stay at the hospital. David had no choice but to fetch her to South River International Residence. 1
'Amelia should have gone home by now, right?
'It's going to be a huge misunderstanding if she's still there.'
Thankfully, Amelia had left by the time they arrived at South River International Residence.
David let out a silent sigh of relief.
He made another call to Golden Leaf Hotel and asked them to send food over to South River International Residence since Aunt Sally was still injured and should not be moving around too much.
Golden Leaf Hotel was an eight-star hotel that did not do deliveries, but since this was the chairman's request, the hotel had no other choice but to deliver it if they did not want to get fired. –
Sally and her family were shocked when they entered South River International Residence.
They did not understand how a third-year university student like David could afford such expensive housing
They could not imagine how much housing like this would cost in River City. They did not know whether it was a few million, or ten times that price.
They had never dared to imagine that they would one day get to live in a house so luxurious.
Jacey was jumping in excitement. He treated David's house like his own, considering that he had been sharing a room with David for two years. He just jumped into the swimming pool upstairs and started bathing there.
"Aunt Sally, Uncle Yousef, you can rest and recover here. Make yourselves at home," David told Sally and Yousef.
"Dave, is this your house?" Sally asked.
"Mhmm."
"Tell me the truth, where did you get so much money?"
"I earned it from a business I started with my classmate," David replied.
"Really?"
"You have to trust me, Aunt Sally! I really didn't do anything illegal," David replied exasperatedly.
"But…" Sally still wanted to insist but Yousef interrupted her. "Stop, Dave isn't a child anymore. He's an adult, he can make his own decisions. I trust Dave," Yousef interrupted. Sally did not ask anymore after hearing her husband's remark.
"Aunt Sally, Uncle Yousef, since you already know about my situation, I hope that you'll agree to move over to River City. Jace can also receive better education here."
Sally and her husband shared a look. It sounded like a good idea.
Jacey was usually seen with some questionable friends in Shu City. There was no controlling that boy, nor did he show any desire to study well.
The fact that he got into high school was thanks to Yousef running around and treating a few people to dinner. Now, not only did he owe these people a favor, but he had spent quite a bit of money as well.
If they moved to River City, a new environment might incentivize Jacey to direct his energy to do well in his studies. Not to mention that education in the city would surely be much better than what Shu City could provide.
