Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Michael Gardner Because of that address, Emrys spent a considerable amount of time explaining to Ninette earlier at Verdant Estate. Then, he narrated the process of how Cordelia reunited with her family, almost talking his mouth dry.

Lydia was delighted, agreeing to whatever Emrys said. However, soon, she asked with confusion, “Good nephew, didn’t you say before that it would take at least three months to cure Richard’s illness?”

The acupuncture can only be done once every three days, and a total of five sessions are required.

That would equate to just a fortnight. This greatly differs from what Emrys had previously stated.

Emrys spoke frankly and bluntly. “The duration of the treatment varies according to my mood. If I’m in a bad mood, three months will be a conservative estimate; it can even extend to three to five years.

However, if I’m in a good mood, the treatment period can be as short as ten days to half a month.”

Richard and Lydia were instantly rendered speechless. He sure has a strong character!

Lydia immediately stepped forward with a gentle demeanor, massaging Emrys‘ shoulders. She said, “Good nephew, you must be tired from the acupuncture just now. Let me help you massage your shoulders.”

Emrys found Lydia quite sensible.

After finishing the acupuncture treatment for Richard, Emrys sat down and chatted with Caylie for a while. Later, when he saw a patient coming in, he didn’t disturb her any further.

In Apricot Hall, roles were clearly defined. Duncan was in charge of consultations, while Caylie handled acupuncture. Occasionally, some of Duncan’s students, who held remarkable statuses, would come to lend a hand. However, Caylie would have them fill the prescriptions, keeping the acupuncture work to herself.

Caylie learned acupuncture very quickly, and her skill level was high. However, she lacked practical experience, so she needed to polish her acupuncture techniques through a great deal of practice.

Emrys had left the Apricot Hall, but on his way home, his gaze suddenly turned cold.

He realized someone was following him.

Emrys did not alert the enemy. Instead, he leisurely strolled around. Eventually, he wandered into an extremely secluded alleyway. Finally, he halted and said, “You’ve been following for so long, can you come out now?”

Crack!

A figure landed behind him, and the first words the other party spoke sent chills down Emrys‘ spine.

“As expected. You are indeed a cultivator.” The man’s voice echoed ominously.

Emrys immediately turned around, his pupils dramatically constricting. A man with disheveled hair, a pale face, and a sinister aura stood before Emrys.

How could a person possibly emanate such an aura?

Fri, 26 Chapter 222 Michael Gardner 3 What was most terrifying was that he could tell at a glance that Emrys was a cultivator, suggesting that this man could very likely be a cultivator himself.

“Emrys, you may not know me, but your name is etched vividly in my memory!” The man made another startling statement.

Emrys furrowed his brows, asking, “Do we have a grudge between us?”

He was absolutely certain that he had never seen that disheveled man before.

“My name was Michael Gardner.”

“Michael Gardner?” Emrys frowned again.

The man let out a cold, mocking laugh. “Are you confused? Let me give you another hint. Angelina is my daughter.”

This man, who exuded an aura of chilling coldness, was none other than Angelina’s father, Michael Gardner.

Initially, when Angelina married into the Chalker family of North River District, Michael thought the Gardner family would be on the rise. However, Angelina unexpectedly went mad one afternoon. Shortly after, the Chalker family announced their departure from Jadeborough.

Michael once sought out the Chalker family, intending to clarify what exactly had transpired. However, upon seeing him, the Chalker family members reacted as if they had encountered a sworn enemy, and they fiercely beat him up.

After that, during her fit of madness, Angelina lost her footing and tragically drowned.

Overwhelmed with grief, Michael unexpectedly found a piece of paper in Angelina’s room. It was filled with the name “Emrys.” The words were written with such force that the paper was punctured. At that moment, Michael knew that the reason for his daughter’s madness was undoubtedly connected to the person named Emrys.

And so, he blamed Emrys for his daughter’s drowning.

“So, do you now understand why I’m seeking you out?” Michael gritted his teeth, his face contorted in extreme fury.

His eyes seemed as if they were torn apart. His expression was far from what a normal person could muster.
