Chapter 225: Hypocritical and Disgusting
The guests couldn’t help but say enviously, "Chairman Hughes, you’re really fortunate to have met such a divine doctor, and what’s more, this doctor is your cousin!"
"Doctor Monroe, if our family ever needs anything in the future, please lend us your help!"
"Yes, Doctor Monroe, if you ever need assistance with anything, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!"
For a moment, everyone showed a respectful expression towards Summer Monroe.
No one would go against a divine doctor; otherwise, it would be like going against their own life.
In response to the compliments from those present, Summer Monroe replied calmly, "Thank you all. In fact, I plan to open a traditional Chinese medicine hospital in the future. Once it’s open, you can come to me for treatment. Of course, it’s best if you don’t have to; I wish you all good health."
Summer Monroe’s words left no discomfort among those present.
Although she was called a "divine doctor," given her age, no one found her words inappropriate.
"Miss Monroe is indeed well-mannered and cultured. If you need investment or help with opening the hospital, please don’t hesitate to find us!"
"Although Miss Monroe grew up in the countryside, she has inherited the demeanor of the former director Luna Monroe. Truly, the younger generation surpasses the old!"
"Yes, speaking of which, your mother was once a figure in Crestfall who could make waves with a single step!"
Summer Monroe smiled faintly without saying more.
Some things need only be touched upon lightly.
However, as Coralie Hughes looked at Summer Monroe, she only felt disgusted by her hypocrisy.
Yet now she couldn’t express any dissatisfaction towards Summer Monroe, or she would only make everyone dislike her.
At this moment, Evan Hughes felt sufficiently rested; he adjusted his clothes and said, "I didn’t expect such a big event to happen today, disturbing everyone’s enjoyment of my daughter’s birthday banquet. I’ll have the servants prepare some tokens of appreciation; please continue to enjoy the banquet."
Originally, Evan Hughes wasn’t too enthused about the birthday banquet, but having recovered a life and been cured of his cardiovascular disease, he was in great spirits and determined to see the banquet through.
"Dad!" Coralie didn’t want to see Summer Monroe anymore and hesitated to persuade him, "You’ve just woken up, your health isn’t fully restored, why not call off today’s birthday banquet?"
She didn’t want to see Summer Monroe being flattered by her guests at her birthday banquet anymore.
However, Evan Hughes raised his eyebrows and said, "How can we call it off? I haven’t formally thanked everyone who helped me today! From now on, this banquet is not just your birthday banquet but also my gratitude banquet."
As he spoke, he no longer listened to Coralie, inviting guests back to the hall and preparing to go upstairs to freshen up and change into clean clothes.
At this moment, Summer Monroe caught Evan Hughes and reminded him, "Chairman Hughes..."
Evan Hughes interrupted her warmly, "Why still call me Chairman? From now on, just call me Uncle!"
Summer Monroe didn’t refuse. Although the Hughes family didn’t have as high a status as the four great families, their reputation wasn’t low, especially since the Hughes family’s main business was producing and selling medical equipment. She indeed needed Evan Hughes’ connections.
After calling out "Uncle" with a smile, Summer Monroe broached the main matter, "Uncle, although your previous condition was difficult to treat, it wasn’t severe enough to directly cause a stroke. I arrived late and don’t know what happened. How did you suddenly faint?"
Evan Hughes, in his earlier joy, had momentarily forgotten the reason for his illness.
Now that Summer Monroe mentioned it, he finally remembered the girl in the black dress, and his expression immediately darkened.
Beside him, Coralie’s face turned pale, and she hurriedly changed the subject, "Dad, don’t worry about these small matters now. Your clothes are stained with blood; you should go upstairs and clean up first. I’ll handle the other matters."
