Chapter 32: Granduncle Visits 

Adrian felt embarrassed to bring up what happened back then as he stood at the door with a red face. 

Seeing this, Layne snorted and said to Cheyenne, He’s too ashamed to tell the truth!” 

The atmosphere between the two men became tense with a tendency towards violence. 

Of course, it was only one–sided dislike from her grandfather towards her granduncle. 

People began walking down the alley outside as they looked at the nice car parked in front of the Edwards mansion. 

The onlookere cast envious and curious glances. 

Cheyenne disliked being stared at by those onlookers, so she said to her grandfather, “Since Grand uncle has come, let’s go inside to talk. Grandfather, please don’t be angry.” 

“Come on, Layne, I promise I’m here to talk about business this time!” 

Reluctantly, Layne nodded in agreement. 

Not three of them sat around a square table. Grandfather stared at Granduncle with his big eyes while the latter wore a sycophantic smile. 

Cheyenne shifted her gaze between the two before deciding to quietly drink her tea. 

“Adrian, tell us why you returned home.” 

“Layne, my family is here. Naturally I want to return home!” Adrian spoke with genuine emotion as tears glistened in his eyes. At that moment, Cheyenne believed him completely. 

All things considered, Granduncle was just an ordinary old man with human feelings. 

“What have you been doing over the past twenty years?” Layne asked, squinting his eyes. 

“Layne, after I was kicked out of our home, I went to Spacoar with a businessman and started driving for him.” 

“Later on, the boss needed to go to Metshire for business and I followed along.” 

“Who knew that once we left, it would be twenty–five years before we returned.” 

He remembered when he left, his niece Selah was still in school. 

In the blink of an eye, Selah had passed away and her daughter Cheyenne was already in her twenties. 

Cheyenne was even more shocked! 

Granduncle had been kicked out of his home! 

Why? 

But she couldn’t show her emotions in front of him and quickly picked up a cup of tea. 

She took a sip and suppressed her doubts. 

“I see,” Layne replied. 

It sounded ordinary but filled with hardships. However, Layne felt that things were not so simple. 

He knew Adrian best. He wouldn’t have stooped so low like this easily. 

The car parked outside just now should belong to Adrian! 

“So what’s your purpose for coming here today?” Layne asked directly without beating around the bush. 

At his words, Adrian skipped the formalities and took out a business card from his suit pocket. 

The card had a black background with gold trim, and a delicate peony pattern outlined in gold. The white letters were sharp and elegant, spelling out a name – Kai Todd! 

Kai Todd! The head of the Todd family and the father of Major–General Todd. 

His influence was not inferior to Layne’s, but they were in different fields and had almost no interaction. 

“What is this?” Cheyenne looked at the business card on the table and suddenly remembered when Granduncle asked her to go see the young master of the Todd family at an auction last time. She used her acting skills to bluff her way through it. 

Now Granduncle came to the Edwards mansion, naturally because he had known about Grandpa’s medical skills. 

In fact, Layne was not as simple as he seemed on the surface – a failed businessman who had some achievements in art. 

He had another identity as a national treasure–level doctor. 

Several generations of the Edwards family members were doctors, and they even had their own medical secrets. However, something happened later on, which caused them to retire early and move to Shedale. 

Since then, the Edwards family had very few members who pursued medicine, and even fewer who could maintain a high level of medical skill. 

In Grandfather’s generation, there were ten children in total, and Grandfather was the third oldest. 

Each Edwards family member began learning about medicinal herbs and medical knowledge at the age of five. 

The family head would choose the most suitable candidate to learn medicine and pass down the medical secrets for him or her to study. Grandfather was gifted and diligent in his studies, surpassing his peers by a large margin at just fifteen years old when he was accepted into a top medical university. With access to those medical secrets, he progressed rapidly. 

Adrian wasn’t as talented as Layne but envied Layne’s possession of those medical secrets so much that he tried everything possible to steal them away. In doing so, Adrian only managed to obtain half before being kicked out by the Edwards family.  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Chapter 32: Granduncle Visits 

Although Adrian held some status within the Todd family, if he wanted real power, then he needed to add more value to their young master’s illness, there was no chance for him becoming their savior! 

That’s why Adrian decided it was time to return home. That’s also why he came visiting Layne and tried persuading him medical secrets he possessed. 

As long as he mastered all those medical secrets, there was hope of curing Master Iker’s leg injury once and for all.
