Chapter 887 Instant Happiness 1/5 (2/2)

Li Du returned to the cabin. Hans saw that Li Du was immensely pleased with himself and he asked curiously, ”Crisis averted?”

”Crisis? What was the crisis?” Li Du pretended to be confused.

Hans gave him a thumbs-up and said, ”Alright, alright. I hope that there won't be any more love crises between you and Sophie. I hope that you can always play dumb.”

Li Du responded furiously, ”There was no crisis between us. Even if there was a problem, I would be able to take care of it!”

Sophie had decided to resign and follow Li Du back to Phoenix to support his career.

It was a tough decision as she would not only lose her job, she would also be giving up the place where she had grown up and her circle of friends that she'd built.

Mr. and Mrs. Martin actually supported her decision. They believed that the young should explore big cities. They were confident of their daughter's abilities to get a job in Phoenix easily.

Mrs. Martin was slightly worried and told her, ”If you have any difficulties getting a job, you've got to tell me and your dad. We will be happy to help you.”

Americans were also great at using their connections. Mrs. Martin had been a professor in an elite school for decades. She had plenty of connections in the field.

”Don't you worry, Mom,” Sophie spoke with confidence. ”How hard could it be to get a job? I'm not that fussy.”

Li Du was not concerned about this at all as he was capable of providing his wife a comfortable life.

In America, amongst the middle-class families, women often played the role of housewives while men were responsible to provide for the family.

However, Sophie did not become a doctor for the money, but for her passion. She enjoyed the sense of achievement from saving lives and healing wounds.

She stayed in Flagstaff temporarily to arrange her resignation. Big Quinn and Lu Guan arranged to pack up the cabin. Hans and Li Du took a flight to Los Angeles to attend Chris Bell's charity event.

As soon as they arrived in Los Angeles, Li Du met up with Brother Wolf and then went to the UCLA Medical Centre, where Tomasson's wife was receiving her treatment.

He went to the reception and asked for Mrs. Tomasson's information. After that, he walked into the ward.

Mrs. Tomasson was just an ordinary middle-aged white woman. She had a slightly plump body and had neat brown hair. She was reading the Bible on her bed.

They knew each other but they had only met a couple of times before. Li Du usually only dealt with Mr. Tomasson directly.

Li Du skipped the formalities and presented his gift along with his best wishes. He then left right after that. He did not stay longer as he did not want to inconvenience the patient or her family members.

The act of concealing one's illness to avoid treatment was wrong. However, the patient and the family were clearly aware of their issue, so they didn't need someone else nagging of their condition in their ears.

Li Du and Hans left the hospital and went to the store. They bought a toaster, juicer, television, gaming console, popcorn machine, toys, and some snacks.

Hans also redeemed a 20,000-dollar voucher. These items would be sent to the welfare institute. He had experience that lifestyle once so he knew what items that the welfare institute needed.

They rented a pickup truck and loaded the items into it. Then, they drove to Bell's house.

Even though Bell was wealthy, he did not live a mansion but instead an ordinary double-story house in a suburb of Los Angeles. The landscape was breathtaking and the facilities of the house were decent. It resembled a small villa.

In fact, this type of house was not costly. Hans said that it was a little over a hundred thousand dollars . . .
