After responding briefly, Robert asked the other party to send the cooperation plan to his newly registered email address. He then turned off his mobile phone and went to sleep. When he woke up, Robert opened his phone and saw numerous unread message notifications flooding in. He forwarded them directly to Sophia, taking on the role of a laid- back boss and presenting it as an opportunity for Sophia to gain some experience. Then, he examined the plan sent by the person who called him yesterday. Upon seeing that the other party intended to invest200 thousand dollars, Robert deleted the email. For this investment, the minimum price Robert could accept was 8 billion dollars. With nothing else to do, Robert planned to go to the courtyard and bas k in the morning sun. As soon as he opened the door, he spotted Marilyn standing there, looking vibrant. She was dressed in a black windbreaker with a pair of thick leggings that showcased her slender legs.
" Oh, hi." Marilyn was startled by Robert abruptly opening the door. " How did you know I was coming? I wanted to surprise you." It was just a coincidence, but Robert replied with a grin, " Well, we have a telepathic connection. Come inside." Marilyn entered the mansion, took off her coat, and settled comfortably on the sofa with a smile on her face.
" What's the good news? Why are you so happy?" Robert observed the genuine joy in Marilyn's eyes, curious. Marilyn smiled brightly. "I had a conversation with my idol yesterday."
" Your idol?" Robert was surprised; he didn't recall Marilyn being a fan of anyone.
" Oh, you can't understand." Marilyn waved her hand." Let's not talk about that. I' ve finished discussing things with my family."
" It seems you' ve emerged victorious this time," Robert sat down next to Marilyn." The Quesnell family doesn't care about you anymore. How about joining me at Khandud Mall? There's a vacant position for the vice president. Look at me now, I hardly have anyone I can trust around me. It's quite unfortunate."
" Okay, then I' ll work for you from now on," Marilyn said, breaking free from the restraints of her family and appearing much more relaxed. Robert grinned." Now let me touch your body. That is the unwritten rules before you start working."
" Get away." Marilyn pushed Robert aside. After they chatted at home for a while, they received a call from a private doctor. Robert needed to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination since many specialized large- scale equipment couldn't be brought to his house. Marilyn drove the car, and they headed straight to the hospital. As they passed by the door of a multi- patient ward in the hospital, Robert suddenly noticed Joshua inside. Joshua had a bandage wrapped around his head, clearly self- applied and appearing rough. He crouched in front of a hospital bed, looking tenderly at a young boy lying on it. The boy appeared to be around three or four years old, with a pale and emaciated face, having just finished dialysis.
" Daddy, does it hurt?" The boy's voice was soft and weak as he touched Joshua's face. At the head of the bed, the little boy's condition was written. Uremia! It was a disease that couldn't be treated with medication. The little boy could only transplanta kidney or rely on repeated dialysis to prolong life.
" It doesn't hurt, my boy," Joshua held the child's hand." Remember, Daddy is a superhero. These wounds are from fighting bad people." Robert stood by the door, observing this scene. It suddenly occurred to him why Joshua had been spending money so quickly. The cost of dialysis was too high so Robert had just given money to Joshua but the latter couldn't afford flight to Madison the next day. Robert didn't enter the room to say hello. Despite not having much interaction with Joshua, he had some understanding of Joshua's character. Joshua loved money, but he wasn't willing to reveal his vulnerable side. With a sigh, Robert left. Joshua's gaze remained fixed on the child in the bed, oblivious to anyone passing by the door of the ward.
