Chapter 823
With a phone call from Magnus, the girl’s parents were granted paid leave
and rushed to Beacon Hospital. Not only that, but Magnus also handed the
girl a check, encouraging her, “Don’t give up. You’ll overcome this illness
eventually!”
“Thank you, mister…” the little girl bawled.
Witnesses inside and outside the ward were moved to tears and applauded
wholeheartedly.
Rhea was no exception.
She couldn’t tell if Magnus was sincere or pretending, but he had indeed
performed a great act of kindness. If the little girl could survive, she would
remember this man for her entire life.
After helping the little girl, Magnus soon left the ward.
“Everyone, Mr. Magnus prefers to stay low-key. Please don’t follow him

However, many wished to continue following Magnus, thinking of him as the
fairy tale prince bathing in the holy light. Even the imposing CEO of the
Verkade family seemed slightly overshadowed in his presence.
Rhea felt the same way, but ultimately, like everyone else, she decided to
respect Magnus’ wish and didn’t continue following him.
In one of the wards, Jessica was keeping vigil by her hospitalized younger
brother’s side when she heard the commotion outside and learned that
Magnus, one of the Zovince’s Four Geniuses, had arrived.
Immediately, she called her father, believing their family wouldn’t need to
worry about the Quillens’ influence anymore if they could connect with a big
shot like Magnus!
Afterward, Jessica searched everywhere for Magnus.
She had already seen people posting his pictures on social media.
While Magnus wasn’t exceedingly handsome, his aristocratic air made him
resemble a prince from a fairy tale.
Alas, she failed to encounter Magnus even after searching nearly the entire
hospital.
Peering through a window, she spotted the black Corolla and decided to wait
there. To her surprise, Magnus and Blake approached her direction just as
she had begun waiting by the car.
As for Gautier, he had already left.
Seeing the real person and comparing him to Blake, Magnus appeared to be
an astonishingly handsome man in Jessica’s eyes.
“Mr. Magnus!” Jessica ran toward Magnus excitedly.
“May I ask who you are, beautiful lady?” True to the rumors of his gentlemanly
demeanor, Magnus remained polite even when facing an unfamiliar woman.
“I… I’m Jessica Oatley. I admire you greatly and want to get to know you!”
Jessica expressed her intentions as she gasped for breath. Her usual
haughty demeanor turned humble in front of Magnus.

chuckled while silently watching the scene unfold, thinking Magnus was
indeed skilled at playing this game.
He had come to do charity work at Beacon Hospital that day not only to
shape his image and get close to the Oatleys but also to use them to defeat
the Quillens.
He could have the Oatleys come to him without approaching them, and to
his surprise, Magnus even attempted to lure Jessica. “That would be my
honor, Miss Oatley. Goodbye.”
“No!”
In a moment of desperation, Jessica grabbed Magnus’ hand, making him.
frown slightly in response. Still, his tone remained gentle. “What is the
meaning of this, Ms. Oatley?”
At that, Jessica bit her lip and blurted out in desperation, “You’ve come to do
charity, right? Can you also help my brother?”
