Claudia nodded gently and said seriously, “Okay, Charlie. Thank you, Charlie...”
Stephanie, who was aside, also smiled and said, “Charlie, don’t forget that Claudia’s mother is also from Aurous Hill. Speaking of which, Aurous Hill is also Claudia’s natal home.”
Charlie smiled and said, “Is that so? Do you have any relatives in Aurous Hill?”
“Not anymore.” Claudia shook her head and said, “Both my grandparents have passed away, and I have an uncle who is abroad. I’ve not had much contact with him, so I basically do not have any relatives left. I can’t even pronounce the names of some of my distant relatives whom I haven’t met before.”
Charlie smiled and said, “It’s okay, you still have Mrs. Lewis, Stephanie, and me. We are all your relatives.”
Claudia was moved and nodded heavily.
At this time, Charlie introduced to Mrs. Lewis, “By the way, Mrs. Lewis, let me introduce my mother-in-law to you.”
With that said, he gestured toward Elaine as he said to Elaine, “Mom, this is Mrs. Lewis from the orphanage. You should have heard of her before.”
“I have! I’ve definitely heard of her!” Elaine looked at Mrs. Lewis and said in surprise, “I used to hear Charlie talking about you all the time!”
As Elaine spoke, she could not help but recall in her mind that Charlie had suddenly asked to borrow one million dollars from Lady Wilson at the birthday banquet when they had been celebrating her birthday in order to treat Mrs. Lewis’s illness.
“Yes.” Mrs. Lewis nodded and said, “I went to Eastcliff for surgery, and I’ve recovered since then.”
“That’s great!” Elaine said with a look of relief, “You must take good care of your health in the future. My son-in-law knows of a very famous genius doctor. His name is Anthony... Oh, yes, Anthony Simmons! Let him take you to the doctor for a checkup!”
Mrs. Lewis smiled slightly and then nodded to express her thanks as she said, “Thank you, you’re really thoughtful!”
Charlie could not help but feel very emotional when he heard Elaine’s words.
Firstly, it was naturally because he felt that his mother-in-law’s skill at lying was really the best in the world. No matter what kind of false words she had to say, as soon as she opened her mouth, she was really unmatched.
