Since it was James who asked for the favor, Peter could not refuse him. He nodded and walked towards Freddy and Malcolm.
Herman opened his eyes widely and paid attention. He was eager to see what Peter would do to make them recover.
However, to his disappointment, Peter did not do anything special, but just a pat on several parts of their body. Soon enough, they became normal.
"Ouch! My legs!" The moment Freddy recovered, he could not feel his legs. A nurse immediately held him before he fell down.
"I'm so sorry for the trouble my son caused. I have been very busy. That is why he lacked discipline and guidance. This is all my fault as a father. I will teach him how to behave properly and with dignity in the future!"
Freddy, unmindful of his weak legs and wet pants, apologized to Peter right away.
Then he glared at Malcolm and scolded him, "What are you waiting for? Apologize to this gentleman now!"
The priority now was to calm Peter's anger. Otherwise, James would not let it go, and would target him in the future.
"Peter, I am so sorry for what I have done! I apologize. Please forgive me! I won't do it again. I promise!"
Malcolm did not waste anymore time. He rolled off the bed, went down on his knees and begged for forgiveness.
He did it because of James and the lesson Peter had given him. He did not want to suffer the nightmare anymore.
He felt frightened just thinking about it.
"You better remember what you just said. If you dare to do it again, you will feel sorry!" Peter said coldly to them. Then he turned to James and said, "Uncle James, I'm going home now since the problem has been resolved. Let's keep in touch!" Peter was getting ready to leave.
He thought that James must have his hands full since he was the mayor. He thought that he would not have the time to make small talk. Of course, Peter was not planning to make small talk with James either.
"Peter, wait!" James stopped him when he saw Peter leaving. "Grace missed you a lot. She's always saying that she hasn't seen you for a long time. She wants to invite you to our home for dinner. Are you available in the next few days?"
James was being very friendly.
Herman did not think much about it since he knew the story between Peter and Grace. But Freddy and Malcolm were stunned when they heard James inviting Peter for dinner.
As the mayor, James was the most powerful official in Golden City. He could not achieve that without the help of his wife, Grace. She came from a powerful and prominent family. Very few distinguished people got to be invited into their home.
But now James was inviting Peter on behalf of Grace. This was unbelievable! Who was Peter exactly?
"Thanks, Uncle James. But I don't have time in the next few days. I will try to make time for it soon!" Peter had meant to accept the invitation right away. But on second thought, there were still some problems that he needed to resolve, so he decided to delay going to their home.
James did not take offense at this answer. But the other three people who were with them were amazed.
How could he turn down an invitation from the mayor? Was he crazy? They almost blurted out, "I can go! I have time!"
However, they could not take Peter's place.
James nodded and did not say anything. He left after a few more words with Peter.
Peter had also wanted to leave, but before that he needed to help the jerks on the third floor, in-patient department. Since he was here already, he decided to resolve the matter once and for all.
Even if they would automatically recover after one hour, Peter decided to help them.
Sure enough, Peter made all of them back to normal, including the female doctor and Dave. They had intended to retaliate on Peter once they recovered. But when they saw Freddy and Malcolm along with Peter, they controlled themselves.
Peter paid no attention to them and left the hospital with Anne.
"Mr. Wang, it's still early. Can we take a walk at the Golden City University?"
Anne asked shyly. She did not want to return to the villa just yet.
She wanted to visit the campus so that she could feel what it was like as a student again.
"No problem. Let's go!" Peter agreed right away. He looked at Anne's eager face with guilt.
He was too busy recently that he forgot to arrange the college education for Anne.
As a twenty-year-old girl, she was supposed to be in college. She was supposed to be enjoying college life. But right now, she spent the whole day in the villa working as a housekeeper. She would spend the day cleaning and cooking for them. Poor girl!
Peter asked again.
Anne looked but the scene almost buried her under the bench in shame.
How could they do that in public? She did not dare look at them.
She was so embarrassed.
She could accept kissing in a public place. But she would never touch anyone or let anyone touch her like that in public!
"Anne! Don't be so shy! Take a look at the other couples, and then look at us! We are so old-fashioned!" Peter was amused by Anne's reaction. But he pretended to be serious.
Anne was going crazy!
She noticed that all the couples around them were either fondling or touching each other.
She wouldn't have come here if she had known it would be like this.
After a while, they took a walk and planned on leaving the campus.
When they came close to the exit, a luxury car stopped in front of them. A provocatively dressed girl greeted the driver in a sweet voice and got in the car happily.
Peter stared at them in amazement. He opened his eyes widely, thinking that he could also drive Bella's Hummer here next time and pick up a girl.
Anne felt disappointed as she saw Peter's excited face. She pinched Peter's waist and asked jealously, "Mr. Wang, what are you looking at?"
Even if she was not Peter's girlfriend, she still felt angry. She was also a beautiful girl, but Peter never paid any attention to her.
Peter was so irritating whenever he stared at other girls like that.
He came to his sense after Anne warned him. The look on his face changed to a disgusted one, and he lectured Anne, "Anne, I just want to remind you not to be like that girl. It is shameful!"
As soon as he finished, another luxury car stopped right beside them.
