Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 2486
Upon hearing this, Fade was touched. He put away the token and business card before nodding to Galeno. He said, "Thank you, Master Zhu and General Xu. Once I've brought my wife back to safety, I will definitely return to serve the country."
"Don't worry, there is no rush. Your wife's life is more important." Galeno nodded.
Just then, the boarding announcement sounded across the terminal..
Fade bid his goodbye and got on the plane with his luggage.
After a few hours on the flight, the plane landed at Star Island International Airport.
Fade stood on the ground of this unfamiliar land and took a deep breath. He looked determined and serious as he spoke to himself, "Honey, I will definitely save you and bring you back home."
He recalled Galeno's advice earlier and switched on his mobile phone. Then, he called Therius according to the number on the business card.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I am Fade from China. I have just arrived at Star Island and I'm currently at the airport."
On the other end of the line, the man sounded very excited. "Fade, it's you! I've heard from General Xu. Don't worry, I'll take care of all your business and necessities during your time on Star Island." "Thank you, Mr. Zhou," Fade replied gratefully.
"General Xu is my lifesaver and you are someone whom he thinks highly of. Naturally, I will treat you well," Therius said politely..
"By the way, I'm so sorry I couldn't pick you up at the airport. I have some errands to run. I've asked my daughter, Ashley, to pick you up. I think she should be there by now," he added. "Well, I'll wait for Miss Zhou then." Fade nodded and then hung up the phone.
After that, he went to a coffee shop and bought himself a drink, then sat down and waited for Ashley's arrival.
About half an hour later, she was still nowhere in sight, so he started to feel a little annoyed.
After waiting for another fifteen minutes, she still did not show up.
He really couldn't wait any longer.
He wanted to leave, but he was worried that Ashley would arrive afterwards. It would not be nice to let her wait for him blindly.
After considering his options, he decided to call Therius again.
"Hello, Fade. Has Ashley picked you up? Why don't you come straight to my house? I'll prepare a meal for you." Therius beamed.
Fade replied quickly, "Mr. Zhou, I think Ashley got delayed by some matters. I haven't seen her yet."
"Why don't I go to the hotel on my own and pay you a visit later."
Upon hearing this, Therius was stunned for a moment before he repeated, "No, no."
"Fade, you're my guest. Mr. Xu has asked me to take care of you personally. It's impolite of me to let you stay at the hotel. Please wait for a moment. I'll call Ashley and ask her what happened. If not, I'll drive there myself."
"This..." Fade wanted to turn down the offer.
However, Therius was determined, so he could only agree with him and wait a little longer.
Meanwhile, in a busy bar at the center of Star Island, a blonde girl in shorts and a t-shirt was making out with a good-looking young man.
Accompanied by the intense music, the man became more and more proactive, as he made out with the girl heatedly.
Just when the two were about to go further, a phone vibration interrupted their moment.
The girl took her phone out of her pocket impatiently and answered the call, "Hello, who is it?"
On the other end, Therius was quick to recognize the loud music in the background. He fumed angrily, "Ashley, I asked you to pick someone up from the airport. Where are you?"
"I..." The blonde girl was stunned.
She finally remembered her father's order, but then, she said indifferently, "Dad, I forgot. It's just a small matter, Why don't you just send a random servant? Why does it have to be me? I'm having a good time with my friends!"
"What do you know!" He roared again, "He's a distinguished guest. General Xu has called me personally to take care of him."
"Moreover, I've checked and found that Fade is an outstanding man. He is excellent in martial arts and is known as..."
Before her father could even finish
his sentence, Ashley interrupted him impatiently, "Alright, alright. It's about your lifesaver, isn't it? I've
heard this story so many times
since I was young."
"Stop nagging. I'll pick him up."
Therius instructed, "You'd better mind your attitude. Fade is an honored guest, a truly honored guest."
"Okay, I understand. I'll welcome the guest to the best of my abilities." Ashley snorted impatiently and then hung up the phone.
As soon as she hung up her phone, the young man was ready to finish what they started.
However, she stopped him and said, "Jayvon, I have got to go. Let's call it a day!"
"Ashley, it's been days since we were last together. Are you really going to leave me behind?" The man, Jayvon, looked very pitiful.
She caressed his face and said, "I'm not leaving you behind, it's just that I have to pick someone up from the airport as per my father's order." "It's a man! I heard it." He crossed his arms and looked jealous. "If you like him, then just leave me alone."
Upon seeing this, she smiled and cooed, "Oh, my little Jayvon, you're jealous. Come one, you know I love you. I won't fall for the others." "I don't believe it." He pouted. "I want to go with you. I want to see what that man looks like."
She held her forehead and hesitated
for a while. Looking at his tender
face, she finally nodded and gave in. "Fine, let's go together." "Great, knew it. I'm your favorite!" HE beamed.
"Let's go!" She replied before adding, "My father said that the guy is an honored guest. Be careful not to get into trouble later, okay?"
"Who is he to be specific?" He curled his lips dismissively.
She explained, "Long ago, a person saved my father's life. I heard that he is doing well in his country. This time, he personally asked my father to take care of his staff."
"I don't know what your father is thinking. Why would he ask you to pick him up when he has so many subordinates," he complained.
She looked helpless as she continued, "I don't know either, but I have no choice. His word is law."
Then, with the rumbling of the engine, a red car rushed out of the bar's underground parking lot and headed towards the airport.
