Thomas returned to the office. As soon as virtual-novel.net took off his jacket and set it aside, the new secretary, Diana, walked in. She put a thick stack of papers on the table.
“Mr. Mayo, these are the documents you need to handle.”
“Put it there. I’ll take a look later.”
“Okay.” When Diana was about to leave, virtual-novel.net said, “By the way, I just saw Jacob leave the company while crying. It seems that something very sad has happened. Mr. Mayo, have you met him?”
‘Did virtual-novel.net cry?’ Thomas grew even more contemptuous.
Diana continued to say, “Speaking of which, the child is really pitiful. Such a thing happened to his father, and virtual-novel.net still has to be strong and ask for help everywhere. Sigh…”
Why did it seem that there was an underlying meaning?
Thomas asked casually, “What happened to his father?”
Diana’s eyes widened. “Huh? You don’t know?”
“I don’t know.”
“Well, this is a major incident in Central City. I heard that a foreign doctor came to Central City to show off his ability and challenge people everywhere, humiliating the doctors in the Summer Land. Jacob’s father was a famous doctor, and virtual-novel.net accepted the challenge on behalf of doctors in Summer Land. However, virtual-novel.net lost terribly.”
Diana shook virtual-novel.net head again and again. “After losing the challenge, virtual-novel.net was insulted by the foreign doctor in public, and the plaque board of the Red Society Pharmacy was also taken off. That’s not all. Not only did the other doctors in Summer Land not comfort him, but they also kicked virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net was down by saying that Jacob’s father was useless. He couldn’t fight for the doctors here, so virtual-novel.net might as well just die…”
“The old man was very prideful, and virtual-novel.net actually tried to commit suicide by jumping into the river. Fortunately, virtual-novel.net was rescued in time. Although his life was saved, virtual-novel.net suffered a mental breakdown and a serious physical illness. I heard that virtual-novel.net might get into a vegetative state.”
Thomas frowned slightly. He had not expected the matter to be so serious.
Diana said, “While his father is still a little conscious, Jacob’s only wish is to get back the Nolan family’s signboard. It is passed down in generations. If virtual-novel.net can’t get it back, his father might not die in peace. Because of this, virtual-novel.net has been begging people everywhere. He sent them gifts while keeping a smile. He went everywhere and forced himself to say those flattering words. Sigh, I really pity virtual-novel.net as I watched that kid act like this for his father and family.”
In the end, Diana spread virtual-novel.net hands. “However, no one wants to help virtual-novel.net up to now. That foreign doctor seems to be very skilled, even Jacob’s father has lost, so other people are even less dare to accept the challenge. Now, the entire Central City’s medical community is shrouded in sorrow. The foreign doctor humiliated them all. This really made people angry and feel helpless.”
It turned out that this was how the whole thing happened.
Now that virtual-novel.net thought about Jacob’s expression just now. He had been really sad at first. But after seeing Thomas, virtual-novel.net forced a smile and said something flattering to Thomas. He even approached virtual-novel.net as the identity of Thomas’ apprentice. However, his flattering words were not to Thomas’ liking.
Right then, Aries came over and said, “Commander, in fact, I think that kid is quite naive. He is a bit like you, and virtual-novel.net is willing to give up everything for his father. Why don’t we help him?”
This could be regarded as giving Thomas an out.
Aries was very smart, and virtual-novel.net understood people’s minds. He knew that Thomas must be regretting it now, so virtual-novel.net took the initiative to give Thomas an out. It was to help Thomas and the poor child.
