Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell



Chapter 723

Carlisle's excitement level immediately plummeted.

Phoebe bit her finger and said, "Christine, you didn't get scammed, did you? Try giving them a call now! Usually, you can't get through to scammers' phone numbers like that!" Christine's eyes reddened instantly. She took out her phone and flipped through her messages, her fingers trembling. When she found the message interface, she pressed the dial button. The call went through.

Christine smiled.

"I knew it. I can't always be that unlucky-"

"Hello?"

A husky male voice sounded from the other end of the line.

Christine asked quickly, "Is Wanda with you? Can you tell her to come to the phone?"

The man hesitated and said in a choked voice, "Wanda's been in a car accident, and she's currently in the hospital receiving emergency treatment. I've been asking around everywhere to borrow money for her so that she'll have enough for the operation. Could you transfer another 20 thousand dollars to that bank account?"

"Huh? A car accident? Is it serious?" Christine asked, her voice trembling. She had turned pale.

"It's very serious. Her right leg is a pulp right now. If they don't operate soon, they might have to amputate it," the man said, sobbing.

An icy female voice said, "Who's the patient's guardian? We will stop giving emergency treatment if you don't pay the operation fees."

The man said quickly, "I'll pay right now! I'm going to the bank to get the money. Keep trying to save her!"

When Christine heard the conversation, she began trembling all over.

She said tearfully, "How much more money do you still need? I'll go to the bank right now and transfer it to you!"

Although Swiftfunds Financial Investments hadn't made any profit yet, the staff still received their salaries. Christine had 28 thousand dollars on her card. If it weren't for Wanda, she would never have been able to earn so much money. Now that Wanda's life was in danger, she would be willing to give up every cent to save her.

The man's voice trembled as he said, "Just transfer 20 thousand to me. I don't think it'll be enough, but it's alright. I'll simply sell my blood to get more!"

The other person's voice rang out once more.

"Are you crazy? Didn't you just sell 400 cc just now? You'll die if you sell blood again!"

The man said firmly, "As long as my younger sister can survive, it doesn't matter if I die!" Christine was touched.

She said, "Don't sell your blood anymore. I still have 28 thousand dollars on my card. I'll

transfer 25 thousand to you!"

"Alright. Thank you so much! I'll go to the bank right now. Transfer the money. Hurry!" the man said before abruptly hanging up.noveldrama

Christine grabbed her bag and towed Phoebe out.

"Wanda's been in a car accident. Let's go to the hospital and transfer money to her for the operation!"

Phoebe had heard the voices on the phone just now, and she thought she had even heard a nurse speaking. She figured that it must be true, so she followed Christine out.

Carlisle leaned one hand on the door frame and stopped the two of them.

He said expressionlessly, "Do you really believe that nonsense?"

"It's true! I even heard the nurse speaking!" Christine explained, staring anxiously at Carlisle.

Carlisle's lips twitched.

"Don't you think it was just a couple who putting on an act?"

Phone scams started as far back as 2000, first appearing in Taywan before reaching Casmania in 2003. As the craftsmanship for mobile phones in this era wasn't as advanced, especially for cheap knockoffs, transmitted sounds would often become distorted. On the phone, people sounded different.

When phone scams first gained popularity, most people did not have prevention awareness, which is why many were deceived.

Christine said, "He called out Wanda's name just now, though! How would he know about Wanda if he was lying?"

"You asked him if Wanda was with him. Forget it. I can't be bothered to explain this to you dummies. Hey, lend me your phone," Carlisle said, looking at the young woman sitting in the row behind Christine.
