The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5792

Young people who were enthusiastic about the outdoors generally have very outgoing and open personalities, and most of them are extroverted and sociable. Moreover, these young people were all very enthusiastic toward Charlie and Vera, so everyone quickly engaged in lively conversation.

Helron was very influential among this group of people, and it was evident that everyone respected him. Charlie noticed that he didn't seem very old, so he curiously asked him, “Helron, are you a student or already working?”

Helron nodded and said, “I'm still a student. I was studying in the United States before. I'm an Oskian American, and it's summer vacation now, so I wanted to come back to Oskia to hike a little and experience the beauty of our country.”

He continued, “Most of us are university students. Jung, Louie Mant, and I are all studying in the United States. Shermaine and Bobbi are from Queenston University. Perry Hinskey and Jenell Looten are from Blastun University. There are also some who are studying in the United Kingdom and Canada. What about you two?”

Charlie casually replied, “We were high school classmates. During high school, we were too busy dating and didn't study well. As a result, we didn't get into any good universities. Later, we went to a non-score-based private university in Eastcliff for two years but didn't graduate.”

Vera looked at Charlie with resentment and protested inwardly, ‘Dozens up to a hundred degrees that I have obtained over the years were all in vain because of just one sentence from you, Young Master…’

In fact, the reason why Charlie said this was to create a subjective impression that he and Vera were academically poor among these people. Otherwise, if everyone really caught onto the topic of universities and started chatting endlessly, they might easily reveal their true intentions. No matter what university they claimed to have graduated from or studied at, if any of these people knew someone from that university, they might not be able to continue the conversation.

By saying that they dropped out of a non-prestigious university, it would subconsciously give these people the impression that they were somewhat inferior academically. Therefore, they would naturally try to avoid asking too much or bringing up university-related topics, thus avoiding the risk of exposure.

Helron also smiled and said, “My situation is similar to Shermaine's. I was diagnosed with advanced-stage lung cancer last year, and it's small-cell lung cancer. I've never smoked a cigarette in my life, not even the marijuana that's rampant in the United States. Yet, I was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer. There are no good treatment methods, so I might as well enjoy life to the fullest.”

Vera instinctively said, “Advanced small-cell lung cancer can still be treated with chemotherapy, combined with targeted drugs, and can have fairly good treatment effects. Don't give up on yourself.”

Helron laughed and said, “I haven't given up on myself either. I originally came to Oskia from the United States to participate in the clinical trial of Apothecary Pharmaceutical's Apothecary Restoration Pill. It's said that this medicine has good treatment effects for almost any type of cancer. Doctors also suggested that I give it a try, but after coming here, I realized how intense the competition for the trial is. Not to mention anything else, even the former FDA commissioner, Jameson Smith, couldn't secure a spot for his son, let alone someone like me, who’s just an ordinary person.”
