Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 646

Charles was stunned. Then, he said excitedly, "You know me? Young missy, how come you know me? How did you know my name is Charles? Haha, do you know? I was really lucky today. The bus overturned, and everyone in it was injured, but I didn't suffer even a scratch. I must have saved the world in my previous life!"

For the fifty-year-old to say such things, Nora couldn't help but find it rather odd. Many older people, even if they surfed the Internet a lot, rarely said such things in real life.

She frowned. "Do you know who I am?"

Charles didn't seem surprised at all. "It doesn't matter who you are. Isn't what matters the fact that I dodged the bullet today? Do you know how dangerous it was? The bus' brakes had suddenly failed and it was rushing straight toward a mountain in front of us, you know! The woman in front of me was screaming the whole time in fear, and even I thought that I was dead meat. But unexpectedly, even though the bus overturned, I turned out fine!"

Nora frowned upon hearing his description of what had happened. "How are you okay?"

Charles replied, "I don't know. I was just very fortunate. The bus overturned and quite a few people died on the spot. Did you see? You don't even have to try saving a few of those people who were pushed in just now... Sigh, do you know?"

His expression turned a little nostalgic. "I am actually not a good person. Of course, I am not a bad person either. I just did some bad things back in the day and helped some bad people in the past. Over the years, I have been devoting myself to God. And look! Results are showing! God must have been watching over me this time, that's why I managed to escape..."

The more he talked, the more excited he became. He actually looked a little like he was going to cry bitterly. He said, "After I go back, I must be even more pious. I shall donate all my money to the church!"

None of the other nurses were paying attention to him. In addition, seemingly because he had met Nora, someone who was willing to listen, he was very excited.

Nora looked at him in silence.

No wonder Jessica had said he was a lunatic. There was indeed something wrong with his mental health, and he seemed crazy.

She lowered her eyes and slowly asked, "How much money do you have?"

The man suddenly lowered his voice, but it seemed like he couldn't quite control his volume. Thus, even though he had lowered his voice, he was actually still very loud. He said, "Don't be fooled by my ordinary clothes. I am no ordinary man! I have a lot of money! I used to work for a very impressive person. More than twenty years ago, she even paid me up to $15,000 a month!

"$15,000 a month, you know! Do you know how much $15,000 was worth over twenty years ago? It was worth even more than $150,000 today! I was really basking in the limelight back then!"

Charles seemed caught in his memories. He said, "After that, I earned a whole lotta money, but I didn't dare to spend it. I would've felt guilty if I were to spend that money..."

He burst into tears and said, "1 have five million dollars, but I hid the cash at home. I didn't dare to spend it, you know? But after this accident, I've sorted out my thoughts. You know how a person would have epiphanies at near-death moments? Why didn't I dare to spend that money? All that money belongs to me!"

Nora frowned.

Even if her mother had given him $15,000 a month, that would only amount to $180,000 a year. For him to have five million dollars, he would have had to work for thirty years! Yet! As far as she knew, after her mother passed away, she hadn't given those three people any more money.
