“I did indeed hear that, yes. However, since Mr. Crawford was able to notice my illness with just a simple glance, I’m sure he has a way to cure it!” said Bob, a faint smile on his face. “I apologize, but I’m no doctor. I don’t have the qualifications to treat you,” replied Gerald. Since Gerald was now still susceptible to outside dangers, he was trying his best not to be overly conspicuous. It hadn’t crossed his mind that Bob would actually wait for him right outside the guest room. “Hey, now! Have some self-awareness! Are you even aware that my grandpa’s never begged anybody for help? He’s even addressing you as Mr. Crawford out of respect! At least try to help him out!” growled Quest coldly. Hearing that, Gerald turned to look at the youth with a frown on his face. “Don’t be rude, Quest!” scolded Bob. “I’m terribly sorry Mr. Crawford… If my grandson’s rude behavior offended you, I’m willing to apologize for his sake…” said the old man as he slowly began bowing. Both Qu

“Grandpa!” said Quinley as she ran over to him. “After you, Mr. Crawford,” said Bob, sounding very pleased as Gerald walked out first. While only two hours had passed, Quinley could tell that there was already a great change in her grandfather’s complexion. “You don’t have to worry, Quinley. As expected, Mr. Crawford was able to find a way to cure my illness. According to him, I’ll be able to fully recover soon,” explained Bob, his tone even more respectful now. “I’ll congratulate you in advance then, Master Westley. Speaking of which, since he managed to help you, I wonder if you’d be willing to do him another favor…” said Joshua. “Oh? Is there anything else I could help you with, Mr. Crawford?” “Though he didn’t include it in his terms, he’s actually looking for an extremely rare herb in the southern border of the Salford Province. The herb itself is called the Ginseng King, and senior has been searching for it for a long time now. If you manage to locate it, I’m sure it

Looking at the same direction Gerald was, Quest saw that a team of similar-looking cars had just parked at the foot of Yorknorth Mountain. Upon squinting his eyes, he realized that Gerald was looking at two women who had just gotten out of one of the cars. Seeing how stunned Gerald looked, Quest placed a finger under his chin as he said with a hint of interest in his tone, “Humph! You’re a grown-up, aren’t you Mr. Crawford? Are you going to tell me now that you’ve never seen beauties before? Though I have to admit that those two women are particularly stunning.” “Hush!” replied Gerald, his gaze stern as he continued looking at the two women. Gerald really hadn’t expected to bump into the two girls here of all places. The two beauties were in fact his old acquaintances, Jasmine and Mindy. He hadn’t met the two girls from the time he had bid farewell with them about half a year ago in the Salford Province. After all, after the incident at the Fenderson family mansion, his fathe

Immediately after saying that, Gerald lifted both of his hands and stuffed something into their mouths! “W-what did you just feed us?!” sputtered both of them, stupefied by the turn of events. It didn’t take long for the two men to realize that whatever it was, it hurt like hell. The effects were almost instantaneous as both men began holding on to their stomachs and rolling on the ground in pain, agonized expressions etched deeply on their faces. Quest himself—who had been standing silently at the side this entire time—was left petrified as he watched them squirm in pain. “Just poisonous worms. Do understand that the worms are probably already devouring your organs as we speak. It won’t be long before the agony ends and you’ll both be dead,” said Gerald with a cold smile on his face. “P-please spare our lives! P-please…” begged the men. “Only if you answer all my questions. First off, why were you stalking the Fenderson sisters? Which family do you belong to?” While both

As the old man had implied, Joshua had indeed met up with the Fendersons before a few years ago. In truth, it was the Fendersons who had wanted to hire Joshua as their family’s personal doctor back then. Though they had even offered an extremely high salary, in the end, Joshua still refused their offer. “It’s a pleasure indeed,” replied Joshua with a faint smile on his face. It was at that moment when Bryson noticed a new face. Or at least half a new face. A young man was standing obediently next to Joshua as he carried a medical kit in hand. The odd thing about him, however, was the fact that the youth was wearing half a mask. It covered his upper facial features, and it wasn’t unlike a masquerade mask. “Could I know who this might be?” asked Bryson with a smile. “A-ah…! Ah!” replied the masked youth as he pointed at his own mouth before waving his hands slightly. He then pointed at Joshua before placing his palm near his heart. Seeing that, Mindy chuckled before saying,

With Mindy’s small hand being so smooth and warm, it wasn’t long before Gerald started feeling weird. Before he could even say anything, however, Mindy began dragging him over to a few small stone stools in the garden where both of them sat. “You know, Sanderson, I’ve been wondering why I keep finding you to be so familiar… After some thought, I think it’s because of how similar our past experiences are… While it’s true that I’m a rich young lady who’s been living in luxury all my life while you’ve had an extremely difficult past—even having to face such a miserable accident—both of us are similar in the way that neither of us had proper friends our entire lives,” explained Mindy. Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded slightly. “I resented that fact a lot when I was younger, you know? You may not know it, but because of a certain family, both Jasmine and I were grounded within the house for the longest time. That’s akin to torture for me since I’m the kind of person who simply ca
Chapter 904
After seeing him nod, Mindy then said, “Go ahead and check on Jasmine first. Since she’s trained a lot recently, it’s probably the same issue again. I’ll wait for you here tomorrow night so that we can chat again!” said Mindy. Gerald then nodded in agreement as he began following the female servant to Jasmine’s room with his medical kit in hand. Once they got there, Gerald was greeted by the sight of Jasmine wearing a sling nightgown. Her hair hung loosely around her shoulders and her goddess-like appearance made Gerald momentarily stunned. “Since you were with Master Jenkinson for most of the morning, I felt that it would be rude to bother you then. I’m afraid I can only ask for your help at night,” said Jasmine with a faint smile on her face. “Ah! Ah!” replied Gerald as he gestured his response, an indication that he didn’t think much about it. Seeing that, Jasmine sat down before saying, “I appreciate it… See, my shoulder’s been aching occasionally ever since it got hurt s

It was no surprise why he had accidentally made that mistake. After all, Gerald was stunned to know that she actually had slight feelings for him. As far as Gerald remembered, he only ever had brief conversations with Jasmine, though he did admit to manipulating her slightly during some incidents. To think that she would end up falling for him just because of that… “Anyway, when the Fendersons went over to the Crawford family some time ago, we learned that he had gone missing. While I’ve sent a lot of people out to search for him, it’s already been a little over half a year by now yet there still isn’t any news about him… I still occasionally wonder whether he left on his own accord...” said Jasmine in a rather sad tone. “…Regardless, are you done?” asked Jasmine as she turned to look at Sanderson. At that, Gerald nodded before gesturing for her to get a good rest. Just as he was about to leave with his medical kit, however, he caught a glimpse of some prayer tools lying arou
