Chapter 646

Charles was stunned.

Then, he said excitedly, "You know me? Young missy, how come you know me? How did you know my
name is Charles? Haha, do you know? I was really lucky today.The bus overturned, and everyone in it
was injured, but I didn't suffer even a scratch.I must have saved the world in my previous life!"

For the fifty-year-old to say such things, Nora couldn't help but find it rather odd.

Many older people, even if they surfed the Internet a lot, rarely said such things in real life.She frowned.

"Do you know who I am?"

Charles didn't seem surprised at all.

"It doesn't matter who you are.Isn't what matters the fact that I dodged the bullet today? Do you know
how dangerous it was? The bus’ brakes had suddenly failed and it was rushing straight toward a
mountain in front of us, you know! The woman in front of me was screaming the whole time in fear, and
even I thought that I was dead meat.But unexpectedly, even though the bus overturned, I turned out
fine!"

Nora frowned upon hearing his description of what had happened.

"How are you okay?"

Charles replied, "I don't know.I was just very fortunate.The bus overturned and quite a few people died
on the spot.Did you see? You don't even have to try saving a few of those people who were pushed in
just now...Sigh, do you know?"

His expression turned a little nostalgic.



"I am actually not a good person.Of course, I am not a bad person either.I just did some bad things
back in the day and helped some bad people in the past.Over the years, I have been devoting myself
to God.And look! Results are showing! God must have been watching over me this time, that's why I
managed to escape..."

The more he talked, the more excited he became.He actually looked a little like he was going to cry
bitterly.He said, "After I go back, I must be even more pious.I shall donate all my money to the church!
None of the other nurses were paying attention to him.In addition, seemingly because he had met
Nora, someone who was willing to listen, he was very excited.

Nora looked at him in silence.

No wonder Jessica had said he was a lunatic.

There was indeed something wrong with his mental health, and he seemed crazy.

She lowered her eyes and slowly asked, "How much money do you have?"

The man suddenly lowered his voice, but it seemed like he couldn't quite control his volume.

Thus, even though he had lowered his voice, he was actually still very loud.

He said, "Don't be fooled by my ordinary clothes.I am no ordinary man! I have a lot of money! I used to
work for a very impressive person.More than twenty years ago, she even paid me up to $15,000 a
month!

"$15,000 a month, you know! Do you know how much $15,000 was worth over twenty years ago? It
was worth even more than $150,000 today! I was really basking in the limelight back then!"

Charles seemed caught in his memories.



He said, "After that, I earned a whole lotta money, but I didn't dare to spend it.I would've felt guilty if I
were to spend that money..."

He burst into tears and said, "I have five million dollars, but I hid the cash at home.I didn't dare to spend
it, you know? But after this accident, I've sorted out my thoughts.You know how a person would have
epiphanies at near-death moments? Why didn't I dare to spend that money? All that money belongs to
me!"

Nora frowned.

Even if her mother had given him $15,000 a month, that would only amount to $180,000 a year.

For him to have five million dollars, he would have had to work for thirty years! Yet! As far as she knew,
after her mother passed away, she hadn't given those three people any more money.

So, how would Charles possibly have five million dollars in cash?! Also, why was he saying that he
dared not spend the money? Where had that money...

come from? Were they benefit that her mother had given these people, who had worked under her for
years? But if that was the case, why didn't Old Maddy receive any? She frowned and asked, "Who
gave you the money?"

Charles glanced at her and then chuckled.

"I can't tell you that, young missy, I can't.I went against my conscience for that money, so I can’ t tell
you...Sigh!"

He went against his conscience for that money...

Nora narrowed her eyes.



At this moment, the family members of the victims had all reached the hospital.

Some rushed over to the operating rooms while some rushed over to the bodies of the people, who had
been pronounced dead, and started to cry bitterly.

All of a sudden, the hospital became a mess again.

When Nora was about to ask Charles about something, a voice came over.

"Charles, are you okay?"

She turned to see a fifty-year-old man approaching them.

He was standing in front of Charles and looking him up and down.

"You don't have any family, so they called me instead!"

Charles replied, "What can happen to me? I'm fine, I'm totally fine! Bro, let me tell you, I was really very
lucky today..."

Charles then started to recount in detail again what had happened that day.

Nora:"..."

The man was seriously neurotic.

She rolled her eyes and walked up to the two of them.

Just when she was about to ask something, Charles's friend suddenly said, "Okay, okay, I get it.I know
you went through life and death today, you are soooo lucky.But why are you suddenly so chatty?"

Nora paused and looked at the two men abruptly.



Charles was still babbling on and on neurotically.

"Because I'm agitated and excited.I thought I could only be a stevedore for the rest of my life.Did you
know? I thought that I didn't deserve happiness anymore.I thought I could only be like you for the rest
of my life, only be a laborer!"
