Ruby’s cousin-in-law was Joel Jenkins. Joel saw that everyone was surrounding Gilbert and serving him tea. Before he entered the house, he glanced over at the empty field besides Ruby’s house. And if he did not look at it properly, he would not see the luxurious car that cost a million dollars! He instantly guessed that it belonged to Gilbert, and he was amused that Gilbert was willing to park it on the grass surface. He himself purposely parked his car in the neighbor’s yard. He can just park his car anywhere.
He passionately smiled and sat at Gilbert’s side, and he asked with a smile, "Dr. Gilbert, is that your car?" Looking at Gilbert’s nod, he continued to say, "It cost more than a million dollars, right? I didn’t know that doctors were so rich!" Gilbert remained silent; he did not buy the car himself. My salary from the hospital can’t even buy a screw for the tire.
Anthony always treated his brothers well as the head of the Crawford family. He gave him this car for his birthday. And he became a doctor because he liked this job. But he would not care to explain these to Joel.
However, Joel leaned close and asked mysteriously, "Dr. Gilbert, you must be earning a lot of incentives in your job. I heard that the patients’ family members would tip the doctors extremely well for an operation. So, tell me, how much did you take before?" He was curious, and he did not care about the circumstances. Gilbert answered coldly as he splashed a cup of tea on the ground, "I’ve never taken any of it, so I can’t answer your question!"
Huxley was upset hearing Joel’s question; he had been hospitalized under the care of Gilbert for a month, and he knew that he was a fair and upright person. He was not who Joel thought he was! The members of the Evans family were furious hearing his words, and they reprimanded Joel for being a loose cannon. Whether Dr. Gilbert really takes tips or not, does he think that it’s sensible to ask such risky questions in public? Ruby’s cousin kicked him and snorted, "What type of nonsense are you spurting?"
Joel did not take her seriously; he laughed it off. "I’m just joking! Hey, why is everyone so boring? I’m just curious to see Dr. Gilbert’s car!"
Ruby’s cousin hurriedly tried to clear the air by saying, "Dr. Gilbert, my husband is always like this. He loves to speak nonsense, but he’s in fact a really nice guy. He has a soft heart."
Gilbert ignored her words, as she was obviously trying to find an excuse for Joel. Pablo folded his arms and said, "Sometimes people talking sh*t might have bad intentions too." He then stared at the malignant spirit hanging on Joel’s head, and it stared back right at him. The spirit sensed that something was not right, and soon he realized that he could not detach himself!
Lilly was enjoying her snack, and she suddenly asked, "Uncle, you’re not an experienced man, right?" Everyone was stunned to hear her words. Joel was annoyed, yet he answered with a smile, "Then you’re wrong. I was traveling everywhere, and I had a lot of different experiences!" Any normal doctor can’t possibly afford such a fancy car; Gilbert must be lying now. I’ve seen too many unethical doctors like him before!
Lilly said it with a sigh: "I guess you just didn't see enough. My big brother said something about a fish under a coconut shell."
Gilbert corrected her, "It’s a frog."
Lilly nodded and said, "Uncle, you’re a frog under a coconut shell. Uncle Gilbert has never said that he bought this car; why didn’t you think about the possibility of people giving him this car?"
