Chapter 1287
The Ex-Husband's Revenge
Leon and Iris finally met Patrick, Irisâ maternal grandfather in the living room. He was an old but powerful man with an aura of regency about him. Next to him stood a kind, gentle old woman, who was none other than Amy Scammell, Irisâ maternal grandmother.
Amy was so happy to find out about Irisâ true identity from Damian that she burst into tears and pulled Iris in for a hug.
As for Patrick, he had always been angry at his daughter for insisting to migrate to Springfield City and eventually met her end there. Therefore, even after finding out that Iris was Priscillaâs daughter, he still kept his emotions in check and maintained a steely look.
However, his quivering fingers betrayed his true emotions, and the truth was, he was just as delighted as Amy was to finally meet his granddaughter.
After a long time, Amy managed to regain her composure, but Patrick was still worried that such an emotional outburst would not be good for her health, so he instructed Damianâs wife, who was the woman that had been pushing his wheelchair, to send Amy upstairs to rest.
The only people left in the living room were Patrick, Damian, Leon, and Iris.
âIris, why didnât your father come with you?â Patrick asked, his expression dark at the mention of Irisâ
father, Gilbert. Even after Priscilla passed away, Gilbert never once brought Iris back to Sky County to meet her maternal relatives, and thus, Patrick had always held a grudge toward him for this.
If Gilbert were to come, he would give him a good beating!
Iris did not know how to begin explaining this, and muttered, âGrandpa, some unfortunate events have transpired. My grandfather was robbed of his power level, and the Youngs are in chaos now⦠My father has to stay back in Springfield City to take care of him, and thus canât accompany me here to visit youâ¦â
âI canât believe the Youngs have fallen into this state!â Patrick was shocked to hear this.
âGrandpa, there are two reasons Iâve come to Sky County, the first being to visit you and Uncle Damian, and to find an Angelâs Fruit that will help my grandfatherâs recovery,â Iris added. the second bein âAngelâs Fruit? We donât have that.â Patrick shook his head.
âWhat? You donât have it?â Both Leon and Iris were stunned to hear this.
âWell, we used to have one about two decades ago, but itâs been so long, and the Angelâs Fruit was used for another purpose,â Patrick explained.
âOhâ¦â Leon and Iris said in unison, finally understanding why the Scammells would say that they did not have any of the Angelâs Fruit. After all, the Angelâs Fruit was a herb and not an inanimate object like a drawing or a piece of antique, and thus could not be preserved for too long.
âDo you know where else I can get Angelâs Fruit, Grandpa?â Iris asked.
âI donât know, but the Southern Region is a big place, and Angelâs Fruit will appear once every few years⦠If you really want to get your hands on one of them, I can help you find out, and Iâll notify you if I hear any news about the Angelâs Fruitâs whereabouts,â Patrick said after some thought.
âOhâ¦okay then.â Iris and Leon were disappointed at this, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Leon had been looking forward to using the Angelâs Fruit to advance to the next stage of his training, the Golden Core Phase. If he did not have the Angelâs Fruit, it would be extremely difficult to nurture his energy center for this.
However, he was still at the Intermediate Foundation Phase of his sage arts training and was still a long way from attaining the Golden Core Phase, so there was no need for him to be impatient.
