Lust System: Harem Of Beautiful Women

Chapter 706 Ocean Sunshine

In the temporary ward, a disheveled young woman lay on the bed, groaning in pain.

The young nurse said, "You must be the patient's family. We're about to take her for a CT scan and an MRI. Please go pay the fee bill first."

"Alright, alright!"

Logan immediately picked up the bill and ran off to pay.

Under the nurse's guidance, Cedric and Eloise wheeled the hospital bed to conduct the examinations. Logan paid the fees and rushed right back.

"It would be better if you lifted her up onto it like this!"

The young nurse instructed from the side.

Logan stepped forward to help. Embarrassingly, the old fellow was physically weak to begin with and never did any manual labor in his daily life.

The saying "a scholar is utterly useless" was perfectly embodied in him. His face turned pale as he exerted some force, but he stumbled and nearly dropped his sister Serena onto the floor.

"Uh, let's do it together!"

Logan said awkwardly. Just that single effort had him panting heavily.

Not only did Eloise feel humiliated, but even the young nurse felt a touch of contempt...

"I'll do it. Aunt Serena, just put your arms around my neck."

Luis couldn't stand watching anymore. He stepped forward, gave a word of instruction, and then said, "I can manage alone. More people will just get in the way."

"Can you handle it??"

Logan asked doubtfully.

"Serena, this is my sister's son-in-law, Luis!!"

Eloise introduced him and then shot Logan a glare, saying, "What are you butting in for? Serena isn't fat. Do you think Luis is as weak as you?"

"Don't worry, these eight-pack abs weren't trained for nothing!!"

Luis couldn't make out her features clearly. The biggest impression was that her eyes were very large and sparkling, bright and spirited, pretty like a young girl's.

Without overthinking it at that moment, he directly scooped her up in a horizontal princess carry, lifted her up, and gently placed her onto the platform.

It was so effortless that almost everyone reacted only after it was already done.

Throughout the entire round of examinations, Cedric was the one carrying her around everywhere, completely at ease, his face not red and his breath not labored.

"I'm actually quite heavy. Luis, you must be tired!!"

Serena said apologetically.

"Not at all, Auntie is very light!"

Cedric said with a cheerful laugh, "Where's the heaviness? Aunt was right, you're not fat at all."

Her voice was soft and gentle, exceptionally pleasant to hear, carrying the feeling of a well-bred, refined lady.

Although she was currently disheveled, with blood and dirt on her face, looking very bedraggled, the overall impression from the contact was very good.

She was completely a different type from Logan. Her parents had unexpectedly had her late in life, ...the youngest child in the family... and she didn't have any of her brother's poor, pedantic flaws.

"The test results are out. She needs to be admitted to the hospital!"

The attending doctor came over with the papers shortly after.

Overall, the problems weren't major. There was a slight fracture in her left forearm, but very minor. However, when the joint was sprained, the tendon had also been pulled.

There weren't many full-body abrasions, but there were quite a few contusions... These were all minor procedures and corrections.

Ten days to half a month of treatment would be sufficient. Follow-up care could involve a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for recuperation, and then she just needed plenty of rest.

The doctor issued a bill for ten thousand dollars. Logan looked at it, his face immediately full of distress, and he said, "The family fixed-term deposit slips, the bankbook... I forgot to bring them out."

"I have... a bit more than three thousand..."

Serena hurriedly said.

"Get the treatment first. Why are you thinking about these things now?"

Eloise did have some money she could pool together. Luis, seeing that she had a good relationship with this aunt, proactively paid twenty thousand dollars to cover the expenses upfront.

They transferred directly to a single-person ward, which was quite luxurious. Soon after, other checks, blood pressure, blood sugar, and the like were done, and then the IV drip was set up.

The other relatives of the Xie family gradually arrived. Luis, concealing his merit and fame, left first.

The good deed had been interrupted by an accident, but Luis wasn't the least bit frustrated. After all, his main focus right now was on Ariana.

As long as her parents had something to keep them busy, he would have ample time for training her. From another angle, this was definitely a good thing.

By the time he left the hospital, it was already nine o'clock. The sky was full of dark clouds, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling. Just as Luis got into the car, torrential rain began pouring down.

"Brother-in-law!"

A call from his sister-in-law, Leah, came through. She said urgently, "Where are you? Why haven't you come to pick me up yet?"

"You really are an impatient little sex fiend. What's the rush!!"

Luis roughly explained what had just happened, then teased her, "Brother-in-law still has an empty stomach. Aren't you going to show a little concern for me!!!"

"I haven't eaten dinner either. I've been waiting for you the entire time."

Leah said shyly, "Of course I care about Brother-in-law. Otherwise, why would I have waited until now?"

"Don't be so hasty, little perv. Brother-in-law will come pick you up first."

When he arrived at the entrance of Blanche's residential community, Leah dashed through the heavy rain straight into the car.

Her dress was a bit wet. The adorable sister-in-law, wiping her hair strands and little face as she did so, asked, "What's the situation with Ariana over there?"

Seeing her cautiously seated in the back row, Luis grinned mischievously and said, "Asking about it right away... Don't be so impatient."

"Hey... Brother-in-law!"

On the other end, the younger cousin's call had even louder rain in the background. She said, utterly frustrated, "We were just about to start the barbecue, and we got drenched like drowned rats."

Luis laughed and teased her, "Didn't you guys check the weather forecast? So what's the situation now?"

"What's the situation!!!"

The younger cousin said glumly, "There's no place at the beach to shelter from the rain. Right now we've all run to the entrance of someone's hotel. It's so crowded here, it's unbearable."

The main issue was the miserable crowding; it was so embarrassing. That big resort hotel was a business with its doors open for customers.

A bunch of broke folks who had been playing on the free beach next door, without spending a dime at the establishment, were now all huddled together there to escape the rain.

This age is when self-esteem is strongest, and when one is most rebellious and sensitive. Just from her tone of voice, Cedric could tell how aggrieved she felt.

"What's the name of the hotel??"

Aside from the System's blackmail hack, Luis had always won them over through attentiveness and tenderness. Of course, he could tell just how dejected her mood was right now.

"Ocean, Sunshine."

As soon as Luis heard this, he was amused. Clearly, this was either an establishment in which the Ocean Group held shares or one of their business partners.

While driving, he instructed her, "Here's what you do. Go straight to the hotel lobby. Give your eldest sister's name and phone number. First, get a room, wash up, and don't catch a cold."

During his mother-in-law's birthday, in order to lavish money on his sister-in-law, he had directly opened a diamond membership card with the Ocean Group.

This card was universally usable across a series of their affiliated businesses, such as Ocean World, Gestor Palace, and Ocean Private Cuisine.

At that time, he had deposited two hundred thousand dollars. Later, he deposited another two hundred thousand dollars...

Even with the family using it for everyday leisure activities, there was still at least two hundred thousand dollars left on this card. What extravagance.
