Stephen immediately said, "Okay, Lord Wade. I’ll go and make the arrangements now."
Felix hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a very dissatisfied tone, "Grandpa! Are you really going to arrange for a whole bunch of doctors to go and give Helena a medical examination just because of one word from Charlie?! Have you ever considered
Helena's feelings? What if she is very resistant to this idea? What if she develops any negative thoughts or opinions on our family because of this matter?"
Jeremiah waved his hand. "When it comes to this kind of matter, I'd rather believe it to be true than not. Let Stephen go and ask her about it, then. If Helena is resistant to the idea, we will not force it either.
However, if she does not have any complaints or opinions about it, we will just proceed with the medical examination, and everyone will be happy too." 2
Stephen nodded immediately and said, "I will go and make the preparations immediately, then. I will also try to get female experts to go over there so that Miss Helena will not feel too resistant to the idea either."
Felix felt extremely depressed at this time.
However, he did not dare to say anything else. Only the hatred that he felt toward Charlie in his heart was becoming stronger at this point.
He hurriedly looked at his father, Clayton, hoping that his father would be able to speak up on his behalf. 3
Clayton also did not want Felix to be forced to suffer and keep his grievances to himself, so he immediately blurted out, "Dad, I think..."
Jeremiah immediately stretched out his hand to interrupt him and said in a very serious and solemn manner, "I know what you want to say, but you should hold back and not say a word!"
The expression on Clayton's face instantly solidified, and he could only turn around, take a few steps back, and hide behind the crowd without saying a word. 1
Deep inside, he was already feeling extremely depressed. He could not help but curse, 'Sigh! What the hell is all this?! Is the old man really old and muddle-headed? Why is he so determined to protect and defend Charlie?!"'
Although Carmen, who was aside, had not spoken all this time, she did not know how many times she had run the twists and turns in the depths of her heart back and forth.
In her heart, she thought, 'I originally thought that my elder brother and Felix would definitely make things very difficult for Charlie when he comes back to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony this time. I thought that they would definitely do everything within their means to try and suppress him. In fact, this has been exactly what Elder Brother and Felix have been doing, but even with the both of them combined, they do not carry as much weight as compared to Charlie in front of the old man even when Charlie did not even bother to show up!'
'I was originally hoping that they would be able to help me vent all of my anger and frustrations, but now, it seems as though it was just a blind thought. If even they cannot deal with Charlie, it seems as though no one else in the Wade family will be able to deal with him in the future...'
Thinking about this, Carmen suddenly felt that she would have to hurry up and find a way to improve her relationship with Charlie. 3
Just as she was still lost in her thoughts, Jeremiah suddenly spoke up and said, "Carmen, you're Felix's aunt. You should go over there with Mr. Thompson. If Helena is putting up any form of resistance, you should try to persuade her by using reason and emotion. The main point is so that she would willingly accept the medical examination. We are also doing it for her own good. It would not be easy for us to explain things to her family if she were to meet with any mishaps.”
Carmen quickly agreed and nodded as she said, "Okay, Dad. I will go over there with Mr. Thompson now!"
