Chapter 682 - Meeting with Smiths in New York (2) (2/2)

Sarah ignored his strange emphasis on a word 'fiancé'. She was happy that he is willing to help and thanked him sincerely.

She turned to Charles. ”Charlie, are you willing to allow another surgeon look at your legs?”

Both Charles and Jarred frowned. They were surprised by this sudden question.

Sarah realized that her question came out of the blue and explained: ”My sister is a very good surgeon. They call her the prodigy. I told her that you have comminuted fractures, as well as damage to muscles and tissue. She is not promising anything, but she is willing to look at your legs and see if she can do something about it.”

Jarred and Charles exchanged glances for a second before Charles agreed to it.

”Little girl, if your sister fixes Charlie's legs, you will get your helicopter for free!” Jarred extended his hand to seal the deal.

Sarah looked at his hand reluctantly. ”Old man, how about we pay for the helicopter, and if my sister fixes Charlie's legs you owe me one?”

Jarred squinted and half-retracted his hand for a second before he started laughing. ”You have a deal!” Two of them shook hands on it.

”How do we go about this?”, Charles asked Sarah. She can see that he is excited.

Sarah thought that it must be hard on him, getting bad news who knows how many times. She really hopes that JoAnna can fix him up because it's obvious how badly Charles wants to get back to his feet.

”If you can send your medical records to my sister, she can look at it in advance. For the in-person exam it will be best if you can come to Los Angeles.” Sarah explained.

Charles smiled. ”That is perfect! We will be there in two days and will stay in the area for a week. I'm available anytime.”

”You will be in Los Angeles? In two days?” Sarah looked at Jarred.

”Yes.” Jarred grinned.

”Why didn't you say so? When we spoke on the phone, I told you that we are coming to New York from Los Angeles. We could have met there…” Sarah felt cheated. If this old man told her that in two days they are coming to Los Angeles, maybe they would not come to New York. Oh, there is that Katherine or Darla that they want to investigate, so they would come anyway, but the old man does not know that!

”Little girl, you asked me: when can we meet. And I said: for me, lunch time, today, works. And you said that works for you as well. You didn't ask for anything beyond that.” Jarred seriously responded.

Sarah rolled her eyes and laughed. ”I can't argue with that.”

They finished lunch in a good atmosphere and parted ways with a promise to stay in touch.

Sarah already confirmed that JoAnna can meet Charlie in three days, and she will get back to him about the location and exact time. JoAnna needs to confirm which facilities have equipment that she needs and availability.

Sarah wants to be present as well. After all, this is a perfect chance to have old man owe her one, again. Having a friend with deep connections like Jarred Smith can only be beneficial. At the same time, she wants to see her sister at work.
