Chapter 204
Oliver observed Diego carefully and thought that the latter was not lying.
Oliver could sense that Yancy’s illness hadn’t been connected to Diego, at least currently.
Oliver felt slightly helpless and found nowhere to start solving the problem. He was confused about
whether Yancy’s condition was an illness or some tricks used on her.
Although Diego agreed to stay for the money, his expression was clearly filled with fear and
bewilderment.
“Diego, have a rest first. If you’re hungry, just call the hotel service. You can dine in the restaurant
downstairs or ask them to send the food to your room. Either way is fine. You guys can order whatever
you want and remember to mark it down with the hotel fee.”
Oliver assured Diego not to worry about the food and that they could order anything in the hotel.
After returning to his room, Oliver called Frederick and Lillian over. He was straight to the point and
asked them to bring Yancy to the hospital the next day for a comprehensive examination in an
indifferent manner. Frederick and Lillian would definitely listen to Oliver as long as he paid for the
expenses.
In the evening, Oliver checked up on Yancy again using the Immortality Energy, but no problem was
found.
The next morning, Oliver asked Frederick and Lillian to send Yancy to the hospital for examination. On
the other side, Fabian had cleared the traffic with money in advance and also arranged a specialist for
Yancy’s check-up alone. So. she directly had VIP service without needing to
queue up.
Previously, Frederick and Lillian were exhausted from finding ways for Yancy’s illness. Other than that,
their key problem was the lack of money, so they would be looked down upon a lot. Moreover,
everyone knew the hospital procedures, and it took hours to register in line for examination.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that moment, they followed Oliver and his team to the hospital. They did not have to do anything,
and Yancy could receive the most expensive examination from a specialist. The whole set of
procedures went on directly after they arrived at the hospital without needing to wait even for
10:20
a minute.
More than an hour later, the test results were out.
The specialist had a vague conclusion. Based on the previous cause of the disease, it was said to be
the cranial nerve area’s damage caused by high fever, which led to mental disorders.
Then, the specialist gave a treatment evaluation, stating, “In the current global medical field, the part of
the cranial nerve is still untreatable.”
Therefore, Yancy’s recovery would be up to luck.
The conclusion was similar to the result from when Frederick and Lillian had Yancy checked up before.
After the examination, they went back to the hotel sullenly.
Oliver did not ask Diego and Derek to meet Yancy. Instead, Yancy cried out, wanting to meet them.
Frederick also disliked Diego and Derek. He was only a few years older than Diego, and he did not
want to be the grandfather of those two bumpkins. The thought of that made him inexplicably irritable.
Oliver held his chin and cudgeled his brains. Frederick walked to him solemnly and said in a low voice,
“Oliver, well… I want to buy something for Yancy. Can you transfer a few thousand dollars to me?”
“Get lost!” Oliver shouted without hesitation after he looked up.
He would help Yancy treat her illness but would never give Frederick and Lillian a penny, even if they
asked.
Frederick was immediately embarrassed, while Lillian’s expression was also gloomy. They had thought
that Yancy’s existence would help ease their relationship with Oliver, but he still showed no respect at
all.
Seeing her younger brother, Frederick, embarrassed, Calista frowned and said to him, “You… Stop
bothering him. Don’t bring up something you shouldn’t. You’re an adult now. Do you still want to rely
on… You have to live on your own account.”
When Frederick heard Calista, who had never loudly rebuked him, scold him euphemistically, he felt
even more frustrated and was about to go out. After thinking for a while, he pulled her to the room next
door and whispered, “Calista, my family can’t even eat well because of Yancy’s illness. It is difficult for
us to survive without cash. Please transfer me some money.”
He thought Calista was easier to negotiate with.
10:20
Instead of giving Frederick money, Calista stared at him and asked, “Did you ask Candice?”
“I’ve already borrowed money from her. Candice lent me 600 dollars. If I ask again, she would definitely
refuse to lend me more.” Frederick was full of resentment when he spoke about Candice.
Calista sighed and asked, “How much do you want?”
Hearing Calista’s words, Frederick became enthusiastic. He used his fingers to count for her and
smiled brightly before explaining, “Calista, I was thinking I can’t always ask you for money. So, I’ve
calculated it myself. I need at least 400 thousand dollars to treat Yancy. I also want to buy a 1,500-
square-foot house in the city, preferably a duplex house with high quality for us to have a better living,
which would cost 1.2 million dollars. Then, I’ll buy a car worth around 60 thousand dollars or so and
rent a store to launch a shop. It should be several million dollars. Thus, it should be enough for you to
provide me with 4 million dollars.”
After saying that, Frederick leaned close to Calista and added with a smile, “Calista, I know that Oliver
has deposited at least 20 million dollars in cash for you and bought many shops and real estate. This
tiny bit of money is nothing to you…”
Calista smiled and replied indifferently, “Frederick, you’re in your thirties or even approaching 40, but
you’re still acting like a child. No wonder Oliver is annoyed with you. But you made me realize after all
these things. Oliver was right. If I provide you with money again, it will only hurt you. We have to live on
our own. To be honest, I have 40 million dollars, let alone 4 million dollars, but this is the pension
money Oliver gave me and Jason. I won’t touch a penny. If you want…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCalista paused for a while before taking 40 dollars out of her bag and handing it to Frederick. “Here’s
only 40 dollars for you. Stop asking me for money in the future, I will not give it to you. I have loved and
spoiled you since childhood. No matter how hard it is, I’ve been saving on my expenses to give you
money. Can you count how much I spent on you? Did you ever give me a dollar? No, right? Humans
should have mutual affection. Even if we’re siblings, we should have mutual affection toward each
other. You have been demanding without giving in return. Do I owe you? Frederick, remember, when I
give you something, it’s out of goodwill, but when I don’t, it’s what you deserve. Our relationship was
broken since the moment you refused to save your brother-in-law, Jason.”
10:20
Frederick’s expression darkened from his original happiness as if he had been drenched with cold
water. He looked at the two 20-dollar bills in Calista’s hand speechlessly. He wanted to lose his temper
but dared not
1.
The loving Calista, who used to indulge Frederick and allowed his
endless demands, had changed. Her gaze and expression toward him had become indifferent.
It was only when she talked about Oliver that she would show a doting expression.
Frederick felt gloomy, as he thought Calista was no longer the same as before, and what he was more
upset with was that he could not obtain a large amount of money from her.
He mused, “How can I make a fortune in my life if I can’t receive money from Calista? How can I enjoy
my life then?”
Their affection between siblings was only worth 40 dollars.
According to Frederick’s previous personality, he would have lost his temper and broken things on the
spot.
However, Frederick did not dare to do it at that moment. Oliver had established a company and also
had many fierce and intimidating bodyguards under his command. Although he had many friends, they
would not take action to help him when things happened.
He pondered, “Should I extort Oliver? I bet it’ll be hard to do so.
