Chapter 929

However, Gregory’s face did not show any signs of humor.

Mr. Osborne could finally notice he was actually being serious.

His heart sank heavily.

“So what happens now?”

Gregory said silently, “We’ll take one step at a time.”

He walked up the stairs once he finished.

Upstairs, Vickie was sitting at the balcony enjoying the breeze.

Actually, the weather was not as hot during this season. Vickie may be feeling hot because she was feeling irritated, worried, and confused all at once.

Once she sat here, Vickie could feel the breeze blowing her way, and that made her mood much better.

She did not notice that Gregory had come upstairs until she felt a heaviness on her shoulder. Vickie only came to her senses when she felt the warm touch.

When Vickie turned around, the tip of her brows lifted when she saw him.

“They’ve all left?”

“Mm.”

Gregory came in front and sat next to her. He wrapped his arms around Vickie’s shoulder and embraced her.

Vickie compliantly rested on his shoulders. She looked up to the sky full of stars, then said softly, “What did Shimon Flinders speak to you about today?”

Gregory’s body froze.

Vickie showed a thin smile.

“You don’t actually need to hide from me. I already know. I could tell Shimon Flinders definitely wouldn’t have come here for no apparent reason. He definitely had a purpose to appear today because we offended him completely for what had happened previously.”

As she spoke, she stood up and looked back at Gregory.

“Guess what I found while I was sorting out the wedding gifts today?”

Gregory’s eyes deepened but he did not answer.

Vickie took out a box from the side and opened it.

Only a few golden yellow pills, with the thickness of a little finger, could be found in the box.

She smiled and said, “I found this. It was gifted by Shimon Flinders. There was a note in the box, instructing me to take this pill once every ten days.

He’s not even a doctor. How could he know what my diagnosis is or even know which medication I should be taking?”

Up till this point, Gregory already knew he could not hide any longer.

Vickie knew the truth earlier on.

He looked at her, and said deeply, “Do you really want to know?”

Vickie nodded.

“Okay, I’ll tell you.”

Gregory then told Vickie everything Shimon Flinders said to him.

Even if Vickie previously guessed something was hidden from her, the moment she heard the truth from him, she could not hide feeling shocked.

Gregory said with a deep voice, “According to him, you’re part of the Flinders and this hereditary disease most likely came from the family.”

“Just like you told me previously, your mother probably doesn’t have any relation to the Flinders, so the only possibility is from your father’s side. Do you remember anything about your father’s family?”

Vickie frowned. She thought for a long time and shook her head in the end.

“No, I don’t have any memory about him at all. Even so... I can’t even remember whether he actually appeared in my life.”

Gregory listened, but he was not surprised.

While growing up with Vickie all these years, and later on staying together in Lin City, she never once mentioned anything about her biological father too.

He touched her head and said, “It’s okay. Don’t think about it anymore if you can’t remember.”

“So, are we still going to the Flinders’ Mid-Autumn Festival banquet next month?”

Gregory looked at her deeply. “Go, treatment for your illness can’t be delayed. Isn’t it obvious that they are expecting us by purposely giving you exactly four pills? Even if the place is a dragon’s chasm or a tiger’s cave, we’ve got to get our answers.”

Vickie listened and smiled.

“Alright, we’ll go together then.”

Gregory did not refuse.

After all, this was related to Vickie’s health. He could not possibly go there alone.

They both felt relieved after discussing.

At night, after Vickie fell asleep, Gregory instructed Harold, “Investigate Vickie’s father’s identity.”

Harold received the instruction and left.

This time, on the other side.

In a manor, far beyond a thousand miles.

Once Jeff Flinders found out Shimon had brought the words to Vickie and Gregory, he gently lifted the corner of his lips.

Louis Flinders was next to him but he still could not understand it.

“Master, why did you specifically want Shimon to convey the message? That Vickie, is she really from the Flinders family?”

While feeding fish, Jeff said, “Have you ever seen any other families in the world having the same hereditary disease?”

Louis lowered his head, “Well, no.”

Jeff whispered, “Her father was a close bodyguard of mine years ago. Although he wasn’t part of the direct bloodline of the family, he was by my side for years. That’s enough to represent how close we were.”

“Later on, he met a girl and betrayed me. There was no news about him after he ran away from the Flinders family. When I found out the news about him, he already passed away due to the disease.”

“I didn’t look into it deeper after he left the mother and child behind. I just thought, without the protection from the family’s miracle pill, the child wouldn't be able to live long. I couldn’t believe she’s still alive.”

As he spoke, it seemed like something crossed his mind, and he smiled softly.

While Louis listened, he was really curious.

Jeff threw the last bit of fish food into the pond and said, “Zeezee can’t wait anymore.”

Once he said this, Louis who was always calm suddenly froze.

Zeezee. Outsiders would not know this name except him.

Just like how no one knew this huge Flinders’ actual head was actually not him, but someone else. He was willing to be like a puppet on the stage front.

Louis stayed silent for a moment.

He then carefully asked, “Are you planning to get them to search for the Arcane Jade?”

Jeff nodded.

“This item has something against me. According to the progress, I won’t be able to collect them completely even if I was given a hundred years. It looks like the eclipse is about to happen. If I miss this again, I will need to wait for another hundred years. I can’t keep on waiting.”

Louis gently nodded.

“Since that’s the case, is there anything that I need to prepare? I will instruct them appropriately.”

Jeff said softly, “It’s alright, just wait for that day. When they’ve arrived, just bring them to me directly.”

Louis nodded. He left once there were no further instructions.

At the Flinders’ Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Every year in this banquet, the only ones invited were people from the Flinders family, and outsiders were not welcomed. Hence, everyone was pretty surprised when they saw both Gregory and Vickie, the newlyweds, walk through the door from the outside.

Shimon was disguised in the crowd, but this was not surprising at all.

Although Shimon was not part of the Flinders’ direct bloodline, it was obvious that the head of the family passed this task to him to make him useful.
