A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 208

Felix glanced at Charles's leg, then spoke with disdain. "You want a miracle doctor for such a minor injury? Do you think miracle doctors have nothing better to do?"

Charles groaned to himself. Couldn't they have a nice conversation?

"Fine." Charles sighed helplessly.

"If you take good care of Demi and build a good relationship with her," Felix took a sip of water and shot Charles a glance. "I might introduce you to the miracle doctor."

"So, what's the deal between you and Demi? Can you tell me now?" Charles immediately forgot his grievances. His curiosity and love for gossip were rekindled.

"Well… I suppose it doesn't hurt to tell you. She's my lifesaver."

Felix frowned and warned, "So you'd better take care of her. If something like yesterday happens again, I'll hang you up and beat you."

"She's your lifesaver?" Charles yelped in disbelief. "Are you serious?"

Felix was not only powerful but was also surrounded by equally powerful people. He never needed anyone's help. Who could possibly qualify as his lifesaver?

Demi was just a young girl. How did she become Felix's lifesaver? Did Felix fall into a river somewhere and get rescued by her?

No, that didn't make sense!

Felix was never without a team of bodyguards, plus his assistant and driver. Even if he did fall into a river, there was no way it would be Demi who saved him!

"How did she become your lifesaver?" Charles stuttered.

Felix sipped his water. "If it's not something you should know, don't ask."

Charles was about to protest when a thought suddenly struck him. If Felix wouldn't tell him, couldn't he ask Demi directly?

She was a thousand times easier to talk to than Felix!

…

Charles was an impatient person. Once he made a decision, there was no way he would wait until tomorrow.

"Felix, I've got something to do, so I'll leave now." He hopped back into his wheelchair and rolled himself toward the door.

"Well, I… I guess I'll just… eat a little." Charles awkwardly sat there, stumbling over his words.

Sure, barging into someone's home for dinner was awkward. But turning around and leaving now would be even worse!

"Where's your driver? Has he eaten? Should we invite him in too?" Demi glanced toward the door and asked.

"No need." Charles waved his hands frantically. "He'll eat somewhere else. There are plenty of restaurants around."

Seeing he was firm on that, Demi didn't insist.

…

During dinner, Demi noticed Charles sneaking glances at her. If she were a normal 16-year-old girl, she might have thought he had a crush on her.

But after spending 300 years in the world of cultivation, she could tell he had something on his mind.

"Is there something you want to ask? Just say it." Demi looked at him calmly.
