Chapter 760
Charmine's nerves were rattled. That night, she drove her motorbike all over Burlington to find Chris.
She went to the candy shop Chris liked, the playground, the ice-cream shop, and the likes. No stones were left unturned as she searched for him.
She even went to the forest where she first met Chris, armed with only a torch...and she came out empty-handed.
It was already one in the morning when she walked out of the forest.
Both Anthony's end and Kay's had no leads to Chris' whereabouts. It was as if Chris had vanished from the world without leaving a trace.
Anxiety washed over Charmine as she grew antsy.
Ring...! Ring...!
Her phone rang...and it was Momo!
Charmine instantly answered the call. "Momo! Where are you?!”
"Mommy, come home quickly, I need to talk to you! Remember, don't let the old man know!” instructed the angry Chris.
Charmine wanted to talk more, but he hung up before she could.
The old man he mentioned must have been Anthony.
Without a second to lose to contact Anthony, Charmine raced back to Violet Villa with her motorbike.
Chris asked her to go home. He must have meant her villa.
As expected, when she arrived outside the villa, she saw a faint light coming from the inside.
Charmine pushed open the door and her pupils dilated.
She saw Chris and Uncle Weir sitting on her sofa, and there was a pile of books in front of them.
A tall pile of thick books was right there on the coffee table!
The books seemed ancient, what with the discoloration of the papers, and there was even the faint smell of old papers in the air.
Spotting Charmine walking into the area, Chris called out, "Mommy, Mommy! Come here!"
'You two..." trailed the wary Charmine as she walked toward them.
She took a quick glance and noted that on the coffee table were all medical books.
Chris tugged at her arm and asked her to sit beside Dr. Weir.
"From now onward, you'll learn medicine from Uncle Weir!”
Learn medicine?
Charmine was bewildered.
Chris continued, "How good is that nobody? Isn't she just a doctor? Why is everyone shipping her with Daddy? I want Mommy to become the best doctor in the world, to win against that nobody!"
Charmine was speechless...
So Chris disappeared, just to ask Dr. Weir to teach her?
Dr. Weir turned to Charmine. "Little Momo has told me everything, and I support you to learn medicine from me. Firstly, this is so that you can surpass Waverly and make Burlington proud. Secondly, you seem uneasy recently, thus learning medicine from me will help to distract you."
That baffled Charmine greatly.
It was not that she did not want to learn-she was too caught up with her work. She also had to look at the documents sent to her by the other Uncles...
Chris merely said, "I've convinced Uncle Nial to take out some time every day to help with your work. I’ve also asked a few members of the special team in the Bailey Corporation to help you!" 1
So, this boy insisted she studied medicine?
