Book:Trash Son Is the Supreme Doctor Published:2024-6-2

Her father begged, “Rainie, you have to help me. I owe them a lot of money. I really have my back to the wall now. If I fail to pay them back, they will cut off my arm. The man I introduced to you last time is a big boss, he is very rich.”
“Dad, I’m your daughter. And I’m still attending school. Are you trying to sell me off?”
Her father did not care about her feelings at all. He grabbed onto her and said, “Rainie, no matter what, you can’t just let me die. If you marry a rich man, we won’t have to suffer anymore.”
The man was probably drunk as he couldn’t even walk in a straight line. Rainie shook his hand off and rode away quickly on her bicycle.
Brucille ran up to the man and helped him up from the ground. He asked, “Sir, is Rainie your daughter?”
“Yes, who are you? I’m warning you, you’d better leave my daughter alone. She already has a rich boyfriend.”
Brucille asked, “Sir, can you please tell me more about Rainie? Do you know Loraine Keh?”
“Why should I tell you? Do I even know you? Let me go. I’m going to have a drink.”
Brucille took out 5, 000 yuan from his pocket and handed it to him. “Didn’t you just ask your daughter for money? Here, take it. I happen to have some with me. I am Rainie’s colleague.”
Rainie’s father’s eyes lit up in an instant. Grinning, he took the money from Brucille.
“Thank you, young man! You like my daughter, don’t you? My name is Baldrick Yip, and Rainie is my daughter. I don’t know who Loraine Keh is. If you want to date my daughter, you have to give me at least 50, 000 yuan.”
Brucille was speechless. Baldrick had just tried to introduce his daughter to a rich man, and now he was trying to sell her off for 50, 000 yuan.
Seeing that he couldn’t get any more useful information from Baldrick, Brucille did not stop him as he stumbled around and left.
He was now more aware of Rainie’s identity. She didn’t have a mother, and her father was a drunkard.
The next day, Brucille returned to the old folks home. He donated another 500, 000 yuan as a token of appreciation for them taking care of his mother for so long.
Then he went to Western Suburbs Cemetery and looked for Loraine’s tombstone.
Looking at the kind face on the tombstone, he found that his nose and auricle resembled his mother’s.
“I’m sorry, Mom. I’m late, and I couldn’t bring you home. The dean said that you liked your daughter very much. Don’t worry, I will take good care of her. No one is going to bully her ever again.”
He had just said a few simple sentences, but it felt particularly taxing. For some reason, expressing his emotions from the bottom of his heart calmed his mind down.
Sitting on a rock next to the tombstone, he examined Loraine’s face closely. He couldn’t imagine how a mentally ill woman spent more than ten years out and about.
His heart ached, as if someone was making cuts on his chest with a sharp knife.
Even after his rebirth, he still had no mother, which plunged him into despair.
He sat in front of the tombstone for the whole day, overwhelmed by emotions. Before he left, he knelt before his mother’s grave and kowtowed for a few times, bidding her goodbye.
In the evening, he waited at the school gate for Rainie, hoping to have a proper chat with her. However, after waiting for a long time, she still did not show up.
Hence, he headed to the hotel where Rainie worked. In the parking lot, he spotted her bicycle. It seemed that she had come to work earlier than usual.
Brucille waited for her until she got off work.
After cleaning up the dishes, Rainie walked out of the kitchen, looking tired. She held her hand out and massaged her sore waist.
Her waist had been aching a lot for the past few days. Thus, it made her more tiring than usual.
As she walked to her bicycle, she found Brucille standing next to it. She said, “Why are you still here? I’ve told you everything that I know. Madam Keh is no longer around, so there’s no point saying anything now. Also, I don’t need your help.”
“Rainie…”
Rainie cut him off, “I have nothing else to say to you. Please leave me alone.”
“Please, Rainie…” Brucille refused to give up.
“What the hell do you want?” Rainie was losing her patience.
“Rainie, I just want to express my gratitude to you. In the years that my mother went missing, you had been of great help to her. Thank you.”
Holding the handles of her bicycle, Rainie stopped in her tracks. She looked at Brucille and said, “Alright, I accept your thanks. You can now disappear from my world. I don’t want to see you again.”
Then, she stepped on the bicycle pedals and rode away.
After riding for no more than 200 meters, a black van suddenly stopped in front of her, blocking her way. A few men got off the van, dragging Baldrick out.
“What… What are you guys doing?” Rainie asked.
Baldrick quickly said, “Rainie, I lost in gambling. These people are here to ask you for money. Hurry up and give them some.”
“Dad, I’ve told you I haven’t gotten my salary. Where am I supposed to get you money?”
“Hey pretty, if you don’t want to give us money, that’s fine. How about this? Join us for some fun tonight, and your father doesn’t have to pay us back.”
As they spoke, the men were about to drag Rainie into the car.
Brucille ran over quickly and shouted, “Wait! How much does Mr. Yip owe you?”
“Hey buddy, it’s not much. Only 90, 000.”
Baldrick, who was standing on the side, shouted, “Bob, are you crazy? I only borrowed 30, 000 from you last night. How did it get to 90, 000 yuan?”
“Baldrick, are you that naïve? You’re borrowing money from loan sharks.”
Brucille squinted his eyes at Bob and said, “Looks like you actually know what loan sharks do. But how could the debt triple overnight?”
“Just give us the money. Otherwise, I’ll take this girl with me. I won’t let her go until she earns enough money for me.”
Rainie hid behind Brucille as she was terrified of those men.
Brucille said, “I will pay you the original debt of 30, 000 yuan and an extra 1, 000 yuan as interest. That’s all I can offer you.”
“D*mn it! Do you think I’m a beggar? Are you trying to brush me off?” Bob retorted angrily.
Brucille was not a good-tempered person. Moreover, he had been suppressing his anger a lot these days.
Therefore, it was a great opportunity for him to vent his anger. Clenching his fist, he punched right at Bob’s chest.
Bob flew at least three meters away, like a broken sandbag.
