Birthday

"Patient's family, the higher-ups have already issued an ultimatum. If you don't pay the surgery fee..." The doctor shook his head and sighed, not saying anything else.

As a doctor, he knew that there was only one disease in the world, and that was poverty, which was incurable.

The patient's condition wasn't beyond saving. If the surgery fee was collected, there was still a high chance of curing him.

"After deducting the 300000 dollars for the operation, you still owe the hospital 3000 dollars for hospitalization fees. I've already applied to the leader three times. You're on your own."

The doctor's words were gentle, but they were like a steel knife that cut into Charles's heart.

Three hundred thousand...

Inside the ward was his adopted sister, Cassie.

The two of them came from the same orphanage.

When she was young, there would always be children from the orphanage bullying Cassie. Charles would always stand up for her, like a big tree that shielded her from the wind and rain.

Cassie, who had come out of the welfare center, also treated Charles as her own brother.

Unfortunately, disaster only targeted those in suffering.

In the year Charles left, Cassie was diagnosed with liver fibroma.

It was a bolt from the blue for the two of them!

He leaned against the wall weakly.

He searched his pockets.

Other than a broken phone in his pocket, there was only a crumpled ten dollars note left.

Seeing his sister asleep...

Charles walked to the entrance of the hospital with his head lowered. Just then, a heavy downpour came pouring down.

He took a step forward and let the rain hit his face. His tears and the rain intertwined.

The rain was merciless, but it preserved the last dignity of a man.

At this moment, the sound of an engine could be heard as a black Audi A6l came to a sudden stop in front of Charles.

The car window rolled down, revealing a pretty face.

"It's raining so heavily, so aren't you afraid of being drenched?"

"Get in the car!"

The woman said coldly as she turned on the heater.

She was Charles's wife in name, the youngest daughter of the Soloman family's second head, Nina.

She was known as the number one beauty in Southampton!

And Charles was the son-in-law appointed by the Old Master Soloman.

At that time.

Everyone thought that Old Master Soloman was stupid.

How could a nameless junior, an orphan, catch the eye of the Old Master Soloman?

As for Old Master Soloman, he only smiled and said nothing in the face of the rumors.

Unfortunately...

On the third day after Charles married into the Soloman family, he and Old Master Soloman got into a car accident.

At the crucial moment, Old Master Soloman tightly protected Charles.

Under the double blow of his adopted sister and Old Master Soloman, Charles had suffered quite a bit of shock.

Gradually, the title of trash and jinx was firmly established.

Even though he had been humiliated, Charles still bore it.

This was because Old Master Soloman had entrusted Nina and the Soloman family to him before he died.

In the car.

"Have you forgotten what day it is today?"

Charles opened his mouth. "...I didn't forget."

Today was the eightieth birthday of Nina's grandmother.

He left the hospital with the intention of going to the Sheraton Hotel.

"If you didn't forget, why did you go in the rain? You're always muddleheaded like a lunatic. When will you be able to take on the responsibility of a man?"

"Don't talk too much when we get to the hotel. "

Although Nina's tone was calm, Charles could still hear a hint of disappointment.

He sat in the passenger seat and fiddled with his fingers. "Can you lend me some more money? It's only three hundred thousand..."

Nina's expression changed, and her beautiful brows furrowed. "Didn't I just give you two hundred thousand?"

The corners of Charles's mouth twitched, and he didn't dare to meet Nina's eyes."You know, my adopted sister has liver tumor. 200000 dollars is just a drop in the bucket..."

"Alright, I'm done!"

Nina's cold voice ruthlessly interrupted the man's words.

"I don't have that much money at the moment. Don't mention this again. I'll think of a way!"

"My sister can't wait..."

Then, the Audi slammed on the brakes, causing the man to choke on his words.

"We've arrived at the hotel. Get off!"

"Don't mention this at the banquet," Nina said coldly.

He was in a sorry state as he followed Nina into the hotel room.

In the rich and beautiful private room, the atmosphere was peaceful.

"Grandma, this is a heart-clearing pill I bought from Lakeland Care in Dragon City. It's very effective in delaying aging!"

"Grandma, I saw that you've been using your dragon head walking stick for a few years. I've specially prepared a walking stick made by a Siam Master!"

The Soloman family's descendants surrounded Old Madam Soloman and presented the gifts that they had carefully prepared.

Old Madam Soloman nodded in satisfaction and laughed heartily. "You're indeed the nephews of the Soloman family. You're getting more and more promising."

At this moment, Charles, who was in the corner, suddenly spoke, "Grandma, can you lend me 300000..." He said.

Although it wasn't the right time, Cassie's illness couldn't be delayed any longer.

If the old lady showed mercy and was willing to help, he would at most receive a scolding from Nina.

But he was still too naive.

Old Madam Soloman's eyes widened, and she shouted angrily, "What did you just say?"

"It's fine that you didn't prepare a birthday gift, but how dare you come to borrow money? How does my family have such a useless son-in-law?!"

At the same time, everyone looked at Charles in disbelief. The same thought lingered in their minds.

Wasn't Charles a little too blind?

"You've grown up, Charles. A few days ago, I heard from Nina that you haven't been home for the past few days. I thought you'd found some way to get rich, but why is it that all you ask for is to borrow money? Don't you have any prospects?"

"Ha, him? Rich?!"

"Nina, why don't you discipline him?"

"It's fine if you don't have any ability, but you don't even have a good eye!"

Some people mocked, while others mocked Nina too.

Charles laughed at himself. He was already used to this.

Nina's expression was extremely ugly as she smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, everyone. Charles has his own difficulties!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened with a loud bang, and a sharp voice came, "Nina, make Charles apologize!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

It was the Young Master of the Soloman family, Nina's cousin, Trevor.

"Trevor, you're back?" The anger on Old Madam Soloman's face faded a little, and she said gently, "How's the matter?"

Trevor first looked at Charles with disdain, then turned to Old Madam Soloman and said, "Grandma, he agreed."

Hearing this, Old Madam Soloman clapped her hands in excitement.

"As expected of my good grandson. He's much better than that trash Charles!"

"Grandma," Trevor replied with a smile, "You don't have to be dragged down by this piece of trash anymore."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

Old Madam Soloman retracted some of her smile and said to the crowd, "I have good news to announce. The Hamilton family's Young Master, Tyson, has decided that he can marry Nina anytime once she gets a divorce!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the banquet hall burst into exclamations.

"The Hamilton family is a first-class family in Southampton!"

"If we can become in-laws, our family will become a first-class family in Southampton in no time!"

"Young Master Hamilton can actually forget about the past. Nina, you're in luck!"

The crowd discussed without any care for Charles and Nina's feelings.

Trevor was also very proud of himself, because he had benefited the most from this.

This way, he could take over the Soloman family!

Suddenly, Nina gritted her teeth."Grandma, we're the ones who call the shots in a divorce. As long as Charles doesn't agree, I won't divorce him."

Trevor's expression darkened as he said, "Nina, Young Master Hamilton didn't despise you, but you're picking?!"

Old Madam Soloman's expression was also extremely ugly, and she said coldly, "No matter what, you're going to divorce this trash tomorrow!"

"Isn't marrying Young Master Hamilton better than this trash?"

"Nina, you have to think for the family!"

The others also started to persuade Nina, saying that they were doing this for her own good.

Nina was at a loss as to what to do in the face of everyone's questioning.

"Enough!" Charles roared.

"Nina is my wife. My thinking is simple. As long as she doesn't want to divorce me, I won't!"

Nina felt warm in her heart.

The two of them had been married for an entire year, but this was the first time she felt that Charles had the responsibility of a man.

The crowd was shocked by Charles's cold voice, and their voices of persuasion for Nina to get a divorce stopped abruptly.

Trevor's expression darkened even more.

Suddenly, he laughed coldly, which was very creepy.

He then slowly walked in front of Charles and said, "Charles, you've grown up, huh?"

Trevor had a playful smile on his face. "If I remember correctly, your sister is still in the hospital waiting for money to save her life, right?"

"How about this."

"Send Nina to Young Master Hamilton tonight and tell him that she's still a virgin. I can lend you the money!"

This was undoubtedly the greatest insult to a man!

Charles clenched his fists tightly, his sharp nails digging deep into his palms, causing waves of heart-piercing pain...

The next second, he used all his strength!

"Pa! Pa!"

Charles directly slapped Trevor across the face.

"If you're in a hurry to curry favor with that Young Master Hamilton, you might as well clean yourself up and send yourself there!"

The banquet hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Trevor's face, which was still in pain, was filled with disbelief.

The rest of the people, including Nina, were dumbfounded.

Immediately after, Charles slammed the banquet hall's door shut.

If he didn't leave now, he would have to bear the Soloman family's endless anger!

In the heavy rain, the rain washed away the blood that seeped out of the corner of his mouth.

A Rolls-Royce stopped in front of him.

A man in his fifties, dressed in a black suit, got out of the car and bowed to him.

"Young Master Xavier Nelson, do you still remember me?"

Charles's voice turned cold when he heard this.

"Mr. Nelson, of course I remember. I'll never forget the faces of everyone in the Nelson family!"

The next second, he pursed his lips tightly and his expression was one of disgust. "The old man doesn't have much time left, right?"

Mr. Nelson didn't say anything. In the heavy rain, he handed over a card with both hands.

"Old master knows that you've suffered all these years. He asked me to buy the biggest company in Southampton and give it to you. He also asked me to give you this card. The password is your birthday."

Charles suddenly remembered that Cassie was still lying in the hospital room. Just the surgery alone would cost a huge sum of money...

"How much is it?" he asked.

"Five billion. The old master also said that he would transfer one billion into the card every month!"
