Chapter 9 Luna's New Lover

• Anthony was surprised at James's words.
• Someone great like him wanted to be an apprentice of someone younger than him.
• Francis was shocked too. "Dr. Hunt, you're welcome to discuss about medicine with me in the future. You don't have to be my apprentice."
• James was disappointed. "I know that you have high standards for accepting apprentices as you have great medical skills. I shouldn't have suggested that."
• "Well, I still have to go to my sister," Francis said. His sister was waiting for him to care for her.
• Francis's phone rang suddenly.
• A clear and crisp voice was heard, "Francis, how is your sister doing? My grandfather's illness relapsed recently, so we made an appointment with a renowned doctor from the capital. Do you want him to treat your sister?"
• "Evelyn, my sister is doing much better now, thank you for your concern."
• Francis felt grateful to Evelyn, his college classmate. She was the perfect girl.
• "Great to hear that. It has been a while since we last met. Are you free this afternoon? Let's have lunch together."
• Francis didn't refuse her. Ever since his sister fell seriously ill, Evelyn had been regularly inquiring about her condition.
• After hanging up the phone, Francis headed to the payment counter. His sister's medical bills were overdue by half a month.
• "Ms. Scott had paid your sister's medical expenses."
• Francis was surprised. Evelyn Scott?
• Recently, Evelyn had been the only one showing concern for his sister.
• They were only classmates and yet she was helping him with the medical bills.
• It was ironic that Luna failed to help but also used the money meant for his sister's treatment to buy a house for her brother.
• She didn't have any conscience at all.
• Francis quickly texted Evelyn: 'Thank you for settling my sister's bill. Lunch is on me at Skyline Restaurant.'
• 'No problem, she's like my sister too. We should help each other since we're classmates.'
• ...
• Francis went to James. "Dr. Hunt, I'm a little busy in the afternoon. Could you please watch over my sister for me?"
• James was eager to agree to Francis's request. "Of course, my friend. Go ahead, your sister will be well taken care of."
• "Thanks."
• After expressing his gratitude, Francis went to the bank to withdraw 4.5 thousand dollars. He still had 1.49 million dollars in his bank.
• Then, he went to Skyline Restaurant.
• Skyline was a famous restaurant in Ashenwald. It costs at least three thousand dollars to dine here.
• Only the elite would choose to dine here.
• Although he wouldn't indulge in such luxury himself, Francis had to thank Evelyn for her kindness, so he couldn't be too frugal.
• Francis texted Evelyn when he arrived: 'I'm there. What would you like to eat? I'll order first.'
• A red Audi A6 stopped not far away from him. It was a common sight at Skyline's entrance.
• Francis was shocked to see Luna holding a man's arm intimately after they got out of the car.
• He was enraged. "Luna, give me back my money!"
• Although Francis was short of money at the moment, he had to get back the 45 thousand dollars no matter what. It was the compensation that his mother received in a car accident.
• Luna was surprised to see Francis. "Loser! Do you still want a beating? How dare you ask me for money!"
• Fred, who was standing beside Luna, glanced at Francis and asked, "Luna, who's this guy?"
• "I've mentioned it to you before, he's that Francis guy. He had spent 45 thousand dollars on me, and now he wanted me to pay him back. How could I fall for someone like him?"
• Fred sneered, "It's your ex-boyfriend who used to deliver takeout?
• "Francis, you're a petty man. You dare to demand the money that you have spent on a woman. It's the first time that I came across someone like you."
• Francis was furious. "Whatever. Luna, pay me back 45 thousand dollars, not a penny less."
• Luna showed her true colours. He got the money at the price of his mother's life. He was determined to get it back.
