Chapter 48 Steffen Helped Curtis with Coaxing Mrs. Riley
After Steffen sighed, he didn't say anything about Curtis's health. He continued to say in a roundabout way.
"One more thing, I really can't stand it, I think I have to tell you. Mr. Riley is so pitiful."
Curtis, "What?"
Owen: "What??"
Steffen shook his head and sighed, "Mrs. Riley, someone just sent the video of Logan's proposal to Mr. Riley. Before you called and explained to him, Mr. Riley was very sad. He thought he was the one who ruined the relationship between you and Logan."
Owen: What a nonsense!
As he spoke, Steffen's voice choked up a little, "Mr. Riley... He also asked me to liquidate the property to see if there is any real estate that can be sold. He said that if you want a divorce, he would give you two-thirds of the property. He can just save some retirement money for himself."
"Ma'am, Mr. Riley really treats you well. Just before the blood test report came out, he saw Logan's marriage proposal video. He was disheartened and wanted to make a will. He said he should set you free and let you live the life you want..."
Owen was speechless when he heard that...
What? What did he say?
But Curtis nodded in satisfaction.
When Adeline heard Steffen say that, she felt sore and anxious. She quickly asked, "Which hospital are you at now? I'll be there right away."
Steffen glanced at Curtis, and only after receiving permission did he tell the name of the hospital to Adeline, "Mrs. Riley, haven't you eaten yet? Mr. Riley actually booked a restaurant today to celebrate your birthday. But the blood report has not come out, he dare not to ask for you to come out. How about I ask for the restaurant to deliver food now?"
"Okay." Adeline responded and hung up the phone.
At that moment, Owen in the ward was so shocked that he didn't know how to react.
"Holy sh*t, you two have so many wicked ideas. Who can compare with you two!"
Owen sighed again and said, "Listen to me, you still have to go for her seriously. If you use wicked ideas on her, you still cannot get love, but sympathy."
Hearing this, Curtis's face darkened a little, and he looked at Steffen, "The bonus of this month is doubled."
Steffen smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Mr. Riley."
When Owen heard something related to money, his eyes lit up suddenly. Before he had time to say anything.
Curtis looked at Steffen, "Throw this guy out, and I'll give you another 10,000 yuan as a bonus."
Steffen nodded and carried Owen out of the ward in quick motion, "Mr. Doyle, I'm sorry. But I cannot let you interfere with Mr. and Mrs. Riley's meal."
While being taken out, Owen shouted into the ward without giving up, "No, Mr. Riley, listen to me. I can be your counselor of your marriage! I just need some consulting fees! Wait, wait! I haven't had my takeaway yet!"
Soon, Owen was taken away by Steffen.
After sending Owen away, Steffen was about to walk back when he saw a familiar girl arguing with the nurse.
He narrowed his eyes and observed for a while.
It was Hannah who was carrying a fruit basket and kept bowing and saying good words to the nurse, "Please let me in. The other party is my respected uncle. Just let me in. I just want to give him a surprise. I won't interfere with your work, just for a while."
The nurse refused with a blank expression, "No! This is a VIP ward. You have to tell me which floor and room you want to visit. I will make a phone call to confirm with the patient, and I will only let you go in if the patient agrees to see you."
Hannah waited for a while, but the nurse still refused to let her in.
In the end, Hannah had no choice but to give up and handed the fruit basket to the nurse, "Since I can't see my elder, I can only give this fruit basket to you."
"No, thank you." The nurse refused coldly.
Hannah was so angry that she wanted to rolled her eyes.
She heard from Viola that her acquaintances saw Curtis in the VIP area of this private hospital and she wanted to see if she could meet him by chance.
Unexpectedly, this damned nurse refused to let her in, which ruined her plan and made her waste a very expensive fruit basket.
Hannah turned around and wanted to leave, then she had an idea and asked, "I... I happen to know an old person in my family who needs to have a rest cure. I think the VIP environment here is pretty good. I would like to ask how is the cost calculated?"
"No matter how long you stay, the minimum consumption of a basic suite is 100,000. If you stay for one day, the minimum consumption is still 100,000. There will be a list of other expenses. But there are basically no vacancies here. All the wards are covered by reservations all year round."
Hearing this, Hannah widened her eyes.
Minimum consumption is 100,000?
It was enough for her to buy a bag from a luxury brand!
It seemed that she guessed it right. Curtis the Cripple from the Riley family was rich.
Hannah left humming a song happily with her fruit basket.
She felt that even she didn't come across Curtis, she had learned something useful.
Her visit was not bad anyway.
Steffen looked at the Hannah's back and quickly went into the ward to tell Curtis.
"Mr. Riley, I was at the visiting window then. I saw the girl who had gone to the house that day. It seemed that she was asking for information about you."
"Asking for my information?" Curtis frowned unhappily.
"Yes, we have rent the VIP area for our private use today, but she said to the nurse that she wanted to visit an elder here. We saw her in the apartment that day. Today she showed up here. It is a little too coincidental."
"Oh." Curtis replied very coldly. She didn't care much about such a little girl. He said to Steffen, "Find out who sent the video to your email box." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
"OK." As Steffen replied to Curtis, Adeline walked into the ward with some fruits.
Because there was Logan's proposal, Adeline felt a bit awkward anyway.
Steffen greeted her smartly, "Mrs. Riley, come and sit here."
After saying so, Steffen helped Curtis in his wheelchairs and pushed him to the dinning table. He left after setting the table for the two.
As soon as Steffen left, the ward became quiet.
Curtis spoke first, "Let's have some food."
"OK." Adeline replied awkwardly. She unwrapped the takeaways and passed one to Curtis.
Then they just ate without saying anything.
Curtis had ordered the takeaways of upmarket French restaurant.
The box was made of wood, and there were many small boxes inside, and the larger boxes contain customized iron plates.
On the iron plate was a cut steak, steaming hot when the box was opened.
Other dishes were also very rich, with heart-shaped foie gras, black matsutake dumplings, etc., all of which were very luxurious dishes.
But Adeline didn't know why. She couldn't tell the taste of the foods.
Especially when she saw that Curtis was making something with a toothpick, she felt uneasy.
Finishing the dishes, Adeline said to Curtis actively, "Thank you for giving me so many clothes."
"It is my pleasure to buy some clothes for my wife." Curtis kept on doing his thing, lowering his head.
The height of the wooden box was about 5 or 6 centimeters, so Adeline didn't know what he was doing. She could only keep on the topic with clothes.
"I know some of the brands of the clothes you gave me. Some of them are quite expensive. With that closet of clothes..."
Curtis said without emotion, "I got them from others."
"Ah?" Adeline paused for a while.
Curtis explained naturally, "A general clothing distributor has owed me money. Since I stepped down, he feared me no more and he refused to pay back my money. I could only take his clothes as his money to pay me back."
"Oh." Hearing these, Adeline felt distressed for Curtis. She couldn't help saying, "Those clothes can be sold out for money. Or, you can take some other things except for clothes next time, such as easy-to-tap assets..."
Curtis cut in before Adeline could finish her words.
"Mrs. Riley."
Adeline stopped and raised her eyes. She saw that Curtis said sincerely.
"I still have the ability to buy some clothes for my wife."
"I... I don't mean that."
Adeline was a bit worried hearing his words. She was afraid that she would hurt his pride. Before she could say anything, she saw that Curtis took out several big cherries behind the wooden box. He lined them one by one in front of Adeline.
Each heart-shaped cherry was engraved with character that were:
The abbreviation of Mrs. Riley, happy birthday.
