Chapter 545 A Wealthy Fool
Maeve reached out and gently held Damien’s hand. “I was mistaken before. I will now support you in your endeavor to win her back. Furthermore, I will do everything in my power to help you uncover the truth about what happened back then. There must have been some misunderstanding between Dad and Charisa.”
Maeve’s words stirred a whirlwind of emotions within Damien.
Over the years, there had been a rift between him and Maeve concerning Cherise. It was exacerbated by Maeve’s attempt to harm Charisa.
However, fortunately, things were improving.
Damien took a deep breath and leaned closer to Maeve Lenoir’s car. “Sis, I have a secret to share with you.”
What Damien revealed next caused Maeve to widen her eyes in shock.
“What are you waiting for? Go win her back!”
It was eight in the morning.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter dropping off her children at kindergarten, Cherise drove to the hospital, visibly exhausted.
“Cherise!”
When she entered the office, her department supervisor was eager to speak with her. “Cherise, a wealthy patient has specifically requested that you conduct a health check-up.”
Cherise took off her coat and put on her white lab coat. She furrowed her brow deeply. “You want me to perform a check-up for a patient?”
She turned around and faced the balding supervisor. “Are you joking?”
“Our hospital is fully equipped with all the necessary equipment for check-ups. If patients need one, they can go to the health check-up department.”
“I am an attending physician. It is not my responsibility to conduct physical examinations.”
“Of course, I am aware that this is not part of your duty!”
The supervisor followed Cherise and continued. “If it were your duty, I would have instructed you to do it. Why would I come here so early to wait for you?”
Then, he cleared his throat. “Cherise, this patient is unique. He specifically requested you to handle hist check-up!”
Cherise furrowed her brow and looked at the supervisor. “You expect me to do it just because he requested me? How much is he offering me?”
“One hundred thousand.”
Cherise was taken aback.
She had asked the question without thinking and did not expect the person to name a price.

“One hundred thousand?”
“Yes.”
The supervisor cleared his throat. “Of course, this is only your fee.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“He said if you are willing to conduct a physical check-up today, he will invest ten million in our hospital and give everyone in our department… a raise.”
Cherise was stunned. “Is this person insane?”
She had encountered many wealthy fools in her years of work. However, few were willing to pay such a high price, let alone invest in the hospital.
“Yes.” The supervisor cleared his throat again. “That is why we must seize this golden opportunity.”
“As you know, our hospital’s cardiac surgery equipment is outdated.”
“I spoke to the hospital director. If we secure this ten million, over eight million will be allocated to our department to upgrade our equipment and instruments…”
“Cherise, you see…”
The supervisor looked at Cherise pleadingly. “You do not have to do anything drastic or compromise your dignity. All you have to do is cooperate with this patient and conduct a heart check-up for him today. Then, we can secure this investment.
“You know how difficult it is to apply for a special fund…”
Cherise furrowed her brow.
Apart from Lucy, no one in the hospital knew her true identity.
Thus, she witnessed how her supervisor struggled with managing a hospital over the years. He had to confront many problems head-on and faced difficulties in obtaining funding. It was a lengthy and arduous process whenever he applied for special funds from the hospital.
