Chapter 7025
As Duncan’s plane was about to land in Melbourne, Claire’s cargo ship had already sailed out of the Yellow Sea and into the East China Sea.
Having been aboard for nearly twenty-four hours, Claire had barely rested, constantly replaying the memories of her years with Charlie.
Elaine and Jacob had been comatose and were just beginning to show signs of waking.
Meglina approached Claire’s door, knocked gently, and said respectfully,
“Ms. Willson, your parents are almost awake.”
Claire came to her senses, wiped away the tears that were drying from her eyes, and hurriedly opened the door, asking, “Can I go see them?”
“Of course,” Meglina said.
“They’ll probably have a lot of questions when they wake up, and I’ll have to trouble you to answer them later.”
Claire nodded, “Of course, I’ll explain everything to them.”
Meglina then said respectfully, “Ms. Willson, please follow me.”
In the medical room, Claire met his parents, who were still in a coma.
Claire had visited several times over the past twenty-four hours.
Each time, she felt a sense of relief when she saw through the window that her parents were soundly asleep, their vital signs normal.
This time, Meglina took her directly into the medical room, allowing her to sit directly between Jacob and Elaine’s beds.
It was then that Claire realized that, while her parents hadn’t yet woken up,
They had begun to stir and scratch, apparently emerging from a deep sleep.
As Elaine’s consciousness gradually returned, she felt the most restful sleep she had ever experienced in her life.
It felt as if every cell in her body had been completely relaxed.
She couldn’t help but stretch, and when she opened her eyes,
She was drowsy and saw a figure sitting beside her bed.
Startled, she opened her eyes and took a closer look, only to discover it was her daughter.
At this time, Claire’s big eyes were red and slightly swollen.
It was obvious that she had been crying, so she quickly asked:
“Claire, what’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?”
After she finished speaking, she suddenly found that her finger was still connected to the blood oxygen monitor, and there was a blood pressure monitor on her arm.
She was shocked. In a panic, she saw Jacob still lying quietly next to her.
This was not a bedroom. It seemed that both of them were lying on the hospital bed.
The nervous Elaine quickly asked:
“Claire, I…what’s wrong with me?”
“Why are we in the hospital?! Did we have a car accident?!”
Claire quickly wiped away her tears, forced a smile, and said:
“Mom, we didn’t have a car accident; it’s just that you and Dad slept for too long.”
“So the cruise staff arranged special supervision for you.”
Elaine breathed a sigh of relief.
Jacob, who was standing beside her, also woke up at this time and was also shocked by the scene.
Elaine, on the other hand, was much calmer and said to him,
“Look, this luxury cruise ship is different.”
“This ward is no different from the high-end wards in those high-end private hospitals, right?”
After saying that, she suddenly thought of something and quickly asked,
“Claire, this… this place must charge a lot, right?”
“I saw them say that those private hospitals charge five-digit fees for a night’s hospitalization!”
Claire could only smile and said, “This… is free.”
Elaine’s nervousness disappeared in an instant, and she said with a smile,
“No money, that’s great.”
Claire was a little dazed at this time.
She thought about explaining the whole story to her parents when they woke up,
And she also conceived a variety of words in her mind,
But she always felt that no matter what she said, she didn’t know where to start.
At this time, Jacob suddenly asked:
“Claire, why don’t I have any recollection of boarding the ship?”
“Did we fall asleep as soon as we left home? Weren’t we awake when we boarded the ship?”
Claire stammered: “Yes… I saw you were sleeping so soundly,”
“So I didn’t disturb you.”
Jacob said in surprise, “This is too strange. We didn’t wake up when there was such a big commotion boarding the ship?”
After saying that, he asked again: “By the way, Claire, how long have we been on the ship?”
Claire replied unnaturally: “About twenty-four hours.”
“Dmn.” Jacob rubbed his temples and said in disbelief:
“I fell asleep as soon as I got in the car, and slept until I got on the boat.”
“It’s okay to sleep until I get on the boat, but I slept for 24 hours on the boat.”
“I have never slept for such a long time in my life.”
“Could there be something wrong with my body…”
As he said, he subconsciously wanted to find his mobile phone, and muttered:
“I have to ask my friends in the hospital if this situation is not right.”
“If not, I will go to the hospital for a deep check when I go back.”
Jacob felt that now was the best time of his life.
People have become particularly cherishing their lives and attaching more importance to their health than ever before.
While talking, he couldn’t find his mobile phone anywhere,
So he asked Claire: “Claire, have you seen my mobile phone? Is it lost?”
When Elaine heard this, she also began to look around, but she also didn’t see her mobile phone.
She blurted out, “My mobile phone is gone too.”
“Could it be that the staff stole it from me?”
Seeing that both of them were a little anxious,
Claire could only bite the bullet and say,
“Dad, Mom, your cell phones have been temporarily confiscated.”
“Confiscated?”
Elaine got anxious when she heard it and said angrily,
“How fresh! They didn’t confiscate my cell phone even though I was on a cruise.”
“What do they think this is? Don’t they know that the customer is God?”
Claire explained bit by bit,
“Dad, Mom, we…we are not on a cruise this time…”
“Not a cruise?”
Jacob said puzzledly, “Claire, you have confused me.”
“Didn’t you say we were taking a cruise to Tahiti?”
“What else could it be if not a cruise?”
Claire said, “We are on a cargo ship this time.”
“The cargo ship is indeed taking us to Tahiti.”
“But we are not going to Tahiti, but to one of the archipelagos there.”
Elaine said impatiently, “No matter which island we are going to, it is always inappropriate to take our cell phones.”
“How can there be such a service provider?”
Claire pursed her lips and looked at the two of them, one hand picking at the nails of the other hand nervously, and whispered,
“Dad, Mom, we are not going back after we go out this time.”
“Not going back?”
The couple was even more confused.
Elaine got up from the bed and asked anxiously:
“Claire, what’s wrong with you? Why are you talking so vaguely and incoherently today?”
“If you weren’t my daughter, I would have thought you had kidnapped us.”
Claire made up her mind and said frankly:
“Dad, Mom, we are going to the South Pacific this time. We will not return to Aurous Hill in the future, or even return to China.”
“You can no longer have any contact with relatives and friends in China.”
“In other words, we will disappear from the Chinese world so that no one can find us.”
“Why?” Elaine was anxious and blurted out:
“We haven’t committed any crime or violated any law.”
“Why should we disappear from the world?”
After that, she suddenly widened her eyes:
“Oh, Claire! Did Charlie have trouble reading feng shui for someone outside?”
“Could it be… Could it be that he offended a big shot?”
Claire was a little stunned.
She didn’t expect her mother to think about this.
Jacob, on the side, also seemed to be influenced by Elaine, and immediately said:
“Oh! I said a long time ago that Charlie is not that kind of material.”
“When he first married into our family, he couldn’t even cook a delicious meal.”
“Suddenly, one day, he became a Feng Shui master.”
“I asked him where he learned it from, and he was vague, saying that he learned it from TV or from a book he bought from a roadside stall.”
“This… this is not good at all! Isn’t it just relying on eloquence to cheat money?”
“If he cheats less, he may get away with it, but if he cheats too much, he will be exposed sooner or later!”
Elaine also sighed worriedly: “Yes! The key is that he can cheat people out of money if he wants to. His appetite is surprisingly big.”
“He said that the Wang family gave him a villa worth more than 100 million, and he really dared to take it?”
“Every time he reads Feng Shui for someone, he charges millions or even tens of millions. It’s a small matter if he can’t see any effect.”
“What if he makes things worse and causes the person’s Feng Shui to suffer losses?”
“And then the person’s business is damaged, and the family is destroyed, won’t the person fight him to the death? “
Speaking of this, Elaine became more excited, clapped her hands, and said with regret:
“And that Orvel, he is a figure in society, fighting and killing all his life,”
“What kind of good thing can he be doing? Even though he usually praises Charlie every day, isn’t Charlie still of some use value?”
“He asks Charlie to do feng shui for his friends every day.”
“In my opinion, he is just making a profit from the difference and treating Charlie like a beast of burden!”
“Take the last time he went to the west to do feng shui for the mine owner.”
“Maybe when Charlie went there, Orvel would ask him for 10 or 20 million, and then give Charlie a few million to get rid of him.”
“Although Charlie only took a small share, he would be 100% responsible if something happened. If something happened at the mine, Charlie would definitely be held accountable!”
The two were getting more and more agitated as they spoke.
She said to Jacob, “Look, my daughter’s eyes are red and swollen.”
“She cried countless times when we were asleep. It must be what I said!”
After that, she looked at Claire and asked nervously,
“Claire, tell Mom the truth. Did Charlie really explode?”
Claire originally wanted to confess Charlie’s identity and the current situation to her parents.
But she also worried.
Her mother was obsessed with money, and her father was power-hungry.
If they knew Charlie’s true identity—the son of the Wade family and the grandson of the An family—how could they bear to leave this wealthy son-in-law?
Even if she told them that Charlie was facing his father’s murderer, their personalities wouldn’t care.
After all, danger is only potential, while money and power are real.
What if her parents weren’t happy with her decision to leave Charlie?
They might try every possible means to contact him and try to get back together.
But what if they thought Charlie had truly turned mad?
Then, given their personalities, they would probably avoid him.
Forget about them secretly seeking him out; even if he found them, they would probably retreat.
At this thought, she instantly changed her mind and said,
“Mom, you’re right…”
