Jeremiah frowned when he heard this, and he asked Stephen, "Stephen, you were also at the scene at that time. Do you think that Charlie was being serious when he said those words at that time, or do you think that he was just making careless and irresponsible remarks?”
Stephen said respectfully, "Lord Wade, I think that Young Master Charlie truly meant what he was saying. It did not seem like he had any frivolous intentions." 3
Jeremiah nodded gently and spoke up, "I think so too."
Felix suddenly blurted out, "Grandpa! You cannot possibly be serious, right?! Charlie was obviously taking advantage of Helena. How can you say that he does not have any frivolous intentions?" 3
Jeremiah said indifferently, "In my opinion, Charlie must have seen some kind of health issues on Helena’s body. Based on my understanding of Charlie, he would not act so rashly as to rack his brains just to make up some stories just so that he could take advantage of a girl.”
Felix protested. "Grandpa, you're being too biased toward him! As the saying goes, you might think that you have known a person for a long time, but you might not even understand his true nature! Besides that, he has already been away from home for so
many years now, so you would not know the kind of character and personality he has! Moreover, Helena is an absolutely stunning beauty, and many men would have improper thoughts about her when they see her. So, why wouldn’t that be the case for Charlie, then?"
Jeremiah gently shook his head and laughed slightly before he said thoughtfully, "Felix, I might really lack understanding of Charlie, but I know more or less about him too..."
Speaking of this, Jeremiah looked at Felix and said solemnly, "And your understanding of Charlie is really lacking!"
"If you understand a little more about him, you will know that if he really wants to take advantage of a girl, there is no telling how many girls would line up and offer themselves to him just so that he would act frivolously toward them.” 3
"Furthermore, any one of these girls would not be any worse as compared to Helena!"
Jeremiah did not have the energy to pay attention to Felix's mood at this time. When he saw that Felix was being extremely emotional, he spoke a little impatiently, "Alright! We will not mention this matter anymore! I believe that Charlie is not that kind of person!"
After he was done speaking, he said very seriously," Since Charlie has already said that Helena's condition is not too good, I think that it would be best for us to arrange for a doctor to perform a medical examination on her. She will be participating in our ancestor worship ceremony the day after tomorrow, and both of you will be getting engaged two days after that. If Helena were to fall ill or if anything were to happen to her in our territory, it will not only affect our subsequent series of plans, but it will also be very difficult for us to explain things to the Northern Europe royal family.” 2
Felix felt as though he was on the verge of an emotional collapse, and he blurted out, "Grandpa!
Forget it if you are not going to seek justice for Helena in this matter, but how can you take Charlie's side and listen to what he said?! If we drag Helena to get a medical examination at this time, Helena will definitely think that we are all insane!”
Jeremiah ignored Felix, and he simply turned around t o look at Stephen as he said very seriously, "Stephen, arrange for some experts from our own hospital to go t o Shangri-La to perform an in-house individual medical examination for Helena to rule out the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, also take some blood samples back to do the biochemical tests on her blood in the laboratory." 6
