Chapter 403
Simon warmly welcomed Cassandra and showed her respect. Also, in accordance with her requests, Leva did not come.
“Dr. Quirke, you’re finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time,” Simon said, flatteringly.
He had been a minion for a long time and eventually became the boss, but unexpectedly, he found himself having to be a minion once again.
Coldly, Cassandra demanded, “Where will I stay? Show me.”
She looked as if she was still angry.
Julius was confused. On the way just now, Cassandra acted as if she were willing to treat Simon because he had paid a large sum of money.
What caused her attitude to change so quickly?
“This way, please.” Simon himself led Cassandra to her quarters. Everyone in the village knew that their boss had personally shown respect to a stranger.
They guessed that person must be Dr. Quirke.
Cassandra successfully entered the primitive village, which was supposed to be their stronghold.
Soon, they arrived. Simon warmly introduced, “This is your dwelling, Dr. Quirke. Everything here has been newly changed.” Then he pointed to the two rooms on the left and right and continued, “That’s Julius‘ room. If you need anything, just go to him. And in the room on the right lives a mute man who won’t bother you.
“My room is located in the front. Please come to my place later and treat me, Dr. Quirke.
Simon had already shown enough respect to Cassandra. If she were to go too far, it would be hard to say if he would still be so patient.
“Of course. I’ll make a list later. Instruct your men to prepare what I want,” Cassandra said indifferently.
“No problem,” Simon agreed, waiting to see if Faye was as skilled a doctor as they said.
“Just give the list to him, and he will take care of all your business,” Simon said,

looking at Julius.
Julius had saved Simon’s life three times. Without Julius, Simon would have died long ago. Therefore, Simon trusted Julius immensely. Now, it concerned his own life, and he needed to be cautious.
“Okay, just leave it to me,” said Julius.
“This guy is a double–dealer. It’s difficult to determine his true identity, Julius thought.
“Friend me then. I’ll make a list and send it to you.” Cassandra took out her phone, but was stopped by Simon.
“Dr. Quirke, I’m sorry, but there are still rules here. Please temporarily hand over your phone to me, and I will return it to you when you leave.” Saying this, Simon snatched Cassandra’s phone away.
Cassandra said with anger, “Why didn’t you tell me in advance? What should I do without my phone?”
“We will provide you with another phone, Dr. Quirke. Please make do with it for a few days, Simon said.
“What about my computer?”
“We need to replace it,” Simon said.

“No way. My computer has patient records and work to deal with. I can’t just treat
and not care about anything else. If you make such an unreasonable request, I will quit.” Cassandra refused, saying, “Even with a 50% increase in the consultation fee, it is still less than my weekly earnings. I won’t lose much due to insignificant
income.”
Simon was astonished. Others claimed that Faye had a loved for money, so it appeared to be true.
“Then, we need to check your computer. Is that okay?” Simon could only take a step back.
“Okay, I’ll give you one hour to check it. After that, return it to me.” Cassandra also made concessions.
“Okay.” Simon agreed and instructed his subordinate to check the computer.

An hour later, the person came back with the computer and a mobile phone in his
hand.
“Dr. Quirke, here are your computer and your new phone.”
Cassandra nodded and took them.
“Have a good rest! Will you treat me tomorrow morning, Dr. Quirke?” Simon asked tentatively.
“Okay, tomorrow morning,” replied Cassandra.
Simon left with his men, leaving only Julius in Cassandra’s room. Glancing at him, Cassandra said, “You can also leave. There’s nothing I need you to do.”
“I’ll stay here to protect you. Are you worried that something romantic might happen between two men?” Julius’s question made sense.
Julius wanted to find an opportunity to persuade Faye, and it would be best if he could tamper with the medicine.
How many
innocent people’s blood did he have on his hands? Shouldn’t such a bad person die?
“I still think it is not safe for two men to be in the same room,” Cassandra said and rolled her eyes. Julius was a paradox, as he worked for Simon but just persuaded her not to treat him. What was his true identity?
Julius smiled and reassured, “Don’t worry. I already have a girlfriend.”
When he mentioned his girlfriend, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes.
Confusedly, Cassandra wondered, ‘Shouldn’t one be happy when they mention their lover? Why does he appear so sad?”
“In that case, you can go to the other room. I’m not used to sharing a room with others.” Cassandra gave the order to leave.
Julius thought that it was not a good opportunity at present, and he would be better off coming again at night.
Julius stood up and left cooperatively. Cassandra closed the door unceremoniously and turned on her computer, thinking it would be impossible for Simon’s men to detect any abnormalities in it.
