There’s a saying that one shouldn’t be rewarded for merely doing their duty.

Anthony believed that all he did was refuse treatment to Jason and Kenneth, and in his view, he did not merit such a valuable medicine from Charlie for this minor action.

However, Charlie felt otherwise.

If he truly wanted to, Charlie could produce thousands of these extraordinary pills in just one day.

The primary reason he refrained from making an abundance of these pills was that he wished to keep their rarity and worth intact.

Thus, giving Anthony an additional magical pill held little significance for Charlie.

With a casual tone, Charlie remarked, “Mr. Simmons, since you wish to be by my side and share my burdens, you should also understand that I believe in rewarding and punishing people based on their actions. I think you’ve done exceptionally well, and you deserve a reward. Therefore, it’s only natural for me to give you one. There’s no need for you to be overly polite; just accept it.”

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Anthony began to tear up and bowed deeply before Charlie, exclaiming, “Thank you, Mr. Wade! Thank you so much, Mr. Wade!”

Xyla quickly followed suit, bowing respectfully with her hands together, saying, “Thank you, Mr. Wade!”

Charlie glanced at Xyla and smiled, saying, “Xyla, please raise your head and look at me.”

Xyla quickly lifted her head, her face flushed with embarrassment as she tried to avoid meeting Charlie’s gaze.

Charlie continued with a gentle smile, “In the future, when the time is right, I will also give you one of these magical pills. It will surely help enhance your medical skills.”

The magical pill was designed to treat and rejuvenate the elderly while boosting the energy of younger individuals.

Upon taking one of these pills, a young person could significantly strengthen their body and enhance their meridians.

In traditional Chinese medicine, Qi is paramount, and a doctor needs a higher concentration of internal qi. If someone lacks sufficient qi, their acupuncture or moxibustion will not be effective, no matter how knowledgeable they are.

This is why many renowned doctors possess considerable physical strength.

Xyla was moved to tears by Charlie’s promise. At that moment, Anthony, filled with excitement, urged, “Xyla, quickly thank Mr. Wade for his generosity!”

Snapping back to reality, Xyla promptly kowtowed before Charlie, her voice trembling as she said, “Thank you, Mr. Wade! Thank you so much!”

While Charlie was distributing medicine to Anthony at Serene World Clinic, Claire had already driven to the riverside villa in the suburbs.

Upon arriving at the villa area, she called her mother, Elaine, asking, “Mom, I’m at the riverside villa. Where should I meet your friend?”

Meanwhile, Elaine was anxiously awaiting Claire in Jason’s villa.

Excitedly, she responded, “This is an exclusive villa area with strict management, so you’ll need to park outside. I’ll come to pick you up right now!”

“Alright,” Claire replied. “I’ll wait for you at the entrance.”

Elaine hung up, her face beaming with excitement as she rushed to tell Jason and his father, Justin, “Claire is here! I’m going to get her now!”

Jason quickly pointed to the heart-shaped roses and candles at the entrance, saying, “Auntie, please don’t say anything that might reveal I’m waiting. I want Claire to experience this romantic setup the moment she arrives!”

Elaine smiled widely, assuring him, “Oh, Jason! Don’t worry. I won’t let anything slip!”
