Chapter 298 Wesley’s 40th Birthday
The night sky was dark like ink.
There were many stars in the sky. People in a big city couldn’t see this kind of starry sky.
Under the starry sky, there was a small house in the forest. And there was a small road. Outside the
house, the dim yellow light was shining. Gerald was still wearing Wesley’s clothes. The clothes were
washed many times. They looked a little old.
In the end, Wesley agreed. In order to live a better life, and to let Leila get a better education, he
decided to go to Washington with Gerald.
“Pew!” After making up his mind, Wesley seemed to be relieved. He took out his monthly salary
from his pocket, a thick stack of money, almost 1,600 dollars.
“Before I go to Washington with you, I want to… hold a banquet at home,” Wesley suddenly said. “It so
happens that there is just a month before my 40–year–old birthday.”
Gerald was stunned, but he understood what Wesley was thinking.
In the past few years, Wesley lived a poor life. Usually, Wesley wouldn’t treat people to dinner. He
rarely visited his relatives and friends.
He also lived lonely here.
Obviously, it wasn’t that Wesley didn’t want to visit them, but he didn’t dare to. In fact, Wesley had been
thinking of ways to borrow money these past few days. He wanted to borrow 3,200 dollars, but none of
his relatives and friends were willing to lend money to him. They didn’t even dare to answer his call.
Hearing that he wanted to treat others to a meal, Gerald nodded and said, “It’s your 40th birthday. We
have to hold a big party. How about we go to a five–star hotel and invite all your relatives over? Let
them see how good you are now.”
Wesley was stunned. He quickly shook his head and said, “I only have…”
“Don’t worry about the money. Where is the nearest five–star hotel nearby?” Gerald asked.
“There is a five–star hot spring hotel on the way to the county,” Wesley looked at Gerald and said.

“Then let’s book a private room at that place.” Gerald smiled and said, “Go and inform
your friends. You can go buy some good clothes tomorrow with your money. You can calculate how

Although Wesley was a little embarrassed, he nodded and said, “Then I will calculate the number of
people tonight.”
After that, he looked at Gerald and said, “Gerald, thank you.”
“You saved my life, so you don’t have to worry about anything. My life is quite valuable,” Gerald
laughed.
Gerald chatted with Wesley for a long time, while reducing the psychological pressure on Wesley.
Gerald also got close to Wesley.
The next day, Wesley gave Gerald a ballpark figure, and then Gerald asked Valery to make a phone
call. Gerald asked someone to book a banquet for Wesley in Washington!
And the banquet would be held five days later!
These days, Wesley and Leila had been very busy.
They were constantly contacting some of their relatives, wanting to get close to them again.
However, many relatives were not even willing to answer their calls.
It was normal for people not to be willing to contact poor relatives.
Wesley was not angry. Instead, he understood them. He felt that he was too poor in the past. It was
normal for them to look down on him or not want to contact him.
Wesley was very patient and visited them every day to notify them.
Originally, Valery had planned to let him drive the car, but Wesley did not have a driver’s license.
However, Wesley was still very patient and went to inform his relatives one by one.
When his relatives knew that he was going to hold a banquet at a five–star hotel, they were all very
surprised. Wesley would also tell them that Raiden had already been captured and that he didn’t need
to pay his debts anymore.
In short, although Wesley had been busy in the past few days, his mood and condition were getting
better and better.
If someone had a good mood, he would look a few years younger.
Previously, Wesley looked very depressed.
Gerald still lived in their house. After the first day when Valery slept on the same bed with Gerald, she
didn’t continue to sleep there.
According to her, Gerald didn’t have a good habit while sleeping.
The next day, Valery chose to sleep in the living room with Leila.
The chairs in the living room could be used as a bed. There was no problem for the two people to
sleep.
Under the treatment of Valery and some special healing medicine made by Night Watch, Gerald’s
wounds healed very quickly in a few days.
Several wounds had almost healed. Even some deeper wounds had healed a lot.
Gerald’s physical condition had recovered a lot, but he was not in a good mood!
It had been almost 10 days since he used Death Storm. In the past, when he used Death Storm, he
completely recovered in just 7 days. It was the fastest record.
The slowest one only took about half a month.
Half a month meant that the Vital Energy in his body had completely recovered. But this time, almost
ten days had passed. He felt empty, and not a trace of Vital Energy had recovered.
Fortunately, he did not have many problems and could walk normally now, but he could not walk for too
long.
This was also what Gerald was most worried about. He felt that… he seemed to be a little like an
ordinary person.
Five days later, he was woken up early by Valery. After waking up, Valery helped him change the
medicine again. Looking at the condition of the wound, Valery said, “In another two or three days,
the stitches will be removed.”
Many of the wounds on his body were relatively deep and were all stitched together.
Gerald nodded and said, “It’s just that… my Vital Energy hasn’t recovered yet.”
Valery said, “Don’t worry! You will recover sooner or later.‘
Gerald frowned and did not say much. Valery said, “It’s about time to get up. Hurry up and wash up.
We have to go to the hotel.”
Gerald nodded. He got up and changed his clothes.
He bought new clothes. Wesley’s clothes didn’t fit so well. After Gerald changed his clothes, Valery
came over to help Gerald wash his face.
In fact, in the past few days, Valery was Gerald’s doctor and also Gerald’s nanny. She took care of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeverything, including taking a bath for him. To prevent Gerald from getting hurt again, she
personally wiped Gerald’s body.
This process was very natural for the two of them. After all, in the past, when Gerald was injured, it was
also Valery who helped him deal with all of these.
Wesley and Leila were very happy. Both of them packed a lot of things.
After the banquet, they didn’t plan to come back here and planned to go to Washington with Gerald.
As for Camilla, she also planned to go with Gerald, but Camilla and her family needed more time to
deal with things here. Gerald had already asked Kerr to buy houses in Washington for them. Gerald
bought Camilla a house that was about 1,900 square feet. After Camilla and her family arrived in
Washington, Gerald would arrange jobs for them.
As for Wesley, it was naturally different.
Gerald planned to let Wesley and Leila live in his place.
They carried their things and arrived at the road. There was an off–road vehicle.
The car was Valery’s.
Gerald’s condition was much better. He could go back by car. Then, Valery drove toward the hotel!
Soon, they arrived at the hot spring hotel and stopped in front of a building.
In fact, Wesley didn’t invite so many people, only around ten tables.
When they arrived at the hot spring hotel, Gerald and Valery found themselves a place to sit down,
while Wesley and his daughter stood at the door to receive guests.
Most of Wesley’s relatives were from ordinary families. Many of them entered the five–star hotel for the
first time. Gradually, there were more people in the hotel, and the expressions of those who
came in were somewhat strange.
Some people were sighing, and some people had complicated expressions.
They couldn’t understand why poor Wesley could suddenly hold his 40th birthday banquet in such a
place.
Some people thought that Wesley had become rich, and took the initiative to chat with him at the door,
hoping that Wesley could help them.
Gerald thought, this is the reality. When one is poor, people ignore him. When one becomes rich,
they will want to get close to him.
Gerald saw everything and sighed in his heart.
