Mighty soldier king (Peter Wang)

Chapter 16

"Audrey, stop!" The woman scolded her daughter. "Please don't mind my daughter. Again, she is very

spoiled. But don't worry, we have some savings. We will surely pay you back for your services once

you cure me."

The woman was honest about their financial situation and was polite enough to call the money as the

therapy payment.

This chronic disease had troubled her for so long. She always suffered so much when she had attacks.

Even medicine couldn't relieve her much.

When Peter said that he could cure her, she felt very excited and worried that he might be offended

because of her daughter.

"Ma'am, you misunderstood me, " said Peter, "I'm not worried about the money. Your disease is not

something that can be easily cured. Treatment takes time, and there is no way to speed it up."

The woman felt embarrassed for assuming that money was the issue right away. "I'm willing to go

through treatment no matter how long it takes, young man. By the way, how long would it be?"

She asked nervously. Could it be another 3 years? 5 years? Could she handle it if it lasted for that

long?

"That depends, ma'am. If things go well, it could be around a week. Otherwise, it could take as long as

a month." Peter replied, a worried look across his face.

Audrey was stupefied

As she stopped herself from grabbing her drink and throwing the bottle at Peter again.

'One week or a month? That's nothing! How is that a long time? Even a fever takes a couple of days,

and it's reasonable that my mom's chronic disease would take longer!

This bastard must be bragging. He's doing it on purpose!'

The longer Audrey looked at Peter, the more annoyed she became.

"Really?" the middle-aged woman asked. "Please, sir. Can you please check up on me when you are

available?" The woman was on cloud nine. She almost wanted him to do the first checkup, then and

there.

"I'm not available during the day because I have work. After work is ideal for me. How about this: I'll

visit you this evening, after work."

The woman had been nothing but courteous and appreciative. Peter couldn't find it in himself to refuse

her.

"Okay, " she replied. Although a little disappointed with the wait, she knew that it would be futile to

negotiate a sooner schedule. They exchanged private numbers and went their separate ways.

The events that morning delayed Peter's travel by half an hour, causing him to be late for work.

With Bob in the hospital, though, no one was there to reprimand him, so that was good.

Peter parked his motorcycle next to a white BMW in the basement parking lot and hurriedly got dressed

for work.

"Hey, bro. Want a cigarette?" He was on his way to playfully tease Shelly and Lisa after arriving at the

reception hall when Jack asked.

Seeing what Peter had done, Jack's admiration for Peter shot overwhelmingly high so he wanted to

stay on his good side.

On his first day of work, Peter beat the security manager and sent him to the hospital. A regular

employee would have been fired had he done the same thing, but Peter still worked freely with no

consequence whatsoever. He could bet his life that Peter had a really strong connection with someone

powerful in Silverland Group. So today, he bought a pack of premium cigarettes specifically to please

Peter.

"Hey, Jack. I don't think we're allowed to smoke during work hours. Besides, aren't you supposed to be

working, lazybones? Good luck getting your salary if we fail Miss Song and Silverland Group."

Peter said, offended by Jack's offer.

Jack was stunned.

'Me? How am I the lazy one when you're already half an hour late? How am I the one neglecting my

duty? Besides, why did you take my cigarette pack and put it in your pocket if you didn't want to

smoke?' NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

"Smoking is bad for you, don't you know? I'm confiscating it to keep you safe because we're colleagues

and good friends. You're welcome, "

Peter preached, making him look like such a good guy in contrast to Jack. What a cheeky fellow who

hustled Jack's cigarettes in a reasonable excuse!

Jack fumed with anger. If Peter hadn't had a powerful background and if he hadn't been so strong, Jack

would have punched him on the face.

Shelly and Lisa were both stifling their laughter.

'Peter is so dreamy.'

Peter didn't see either Elaine or Bella throughout the day. It seemed as though they had forgotten he

existed.

Finally, a calm day for Peter. He spent it on work, amusing Shelly and Lisa and teaching Jack his

lesson.

"Wait for us after work, Peter. We want to treat you to dinner!" Shelly told him sweetly as their shift was

about to end. Jack felt very envious.

"Sure! I'd also say yes to other invitations. If you know what I mean, " Peter said slyly. He'd never

refuse such a
