At this time, Claire, Charlie, and Jacob had just finished having lunch at home.
As Charlie was heading to the kitchen to clean up the dishes as usual, he suddenly received a phone call from Xyla.
As soon as he answered the call, Xyla replied in shame as she said, "Mr. Wade, what are you doing now?"
"I'm just at home." Charlie replied in a casual manner. After that, he asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything you want to tell me?"
At this time, Xyla quickly replied, "The reason why I'm calling you today is because I want to report something to you."
"Speak.”
Xyla hurriedly explained herself at this time. "So, this i s what happened. Yesterday, Jason Grant and Kenneth Wilson came to my grandfather's medical clinic begging him to treat them! My grandfather did not know that Kenneth had offended you and he almost gave him the other half of the magical pill that you'd previously given to him!"
Out of curiosity, Charlie asked, "Why? Does your family have a good relationship with Kenneth? Why would your grandfather be willing to give him such a
precious medicine?”
Charlie knew very well that Anthony regarded the magical pill that he gave him as a rare treasure and he knew that this pill was very important to Anthony.
Since it was such an important item, why would anyone give it to someone who they did not know or someone who was just an ordinary acquaintance?
At this time, Xyla hurriedly replied, "My grandfather and Kenneth’s father were very close friends in the past. Both of them shared a close relationship in the past and they've both always been very close throughout the years." 3
After that, Xyla also told Charlie about everything that her grandfather and the old man from the Wilson family had gone through together in the past.
After Charlie heard Xyla's explanation, he realized that the Wilson family was actually the benefactor who had helped Anthony in the past.
Moreover, he found out that Anthony had been repaying the kindness of the Wilson family for so many years just because of the small favor that he had received in the past. This made Charlie feel more respect and admiration for Anthony. 1
What made him even more satisfied was the fact that Anthony could distinguish between right and wrong and he did not hesitate to break off all connections with the Wilson family just because of him.
