Chapter 489: The Medicine Was Sent Back by Sophie

In the study on the second floor of the Foley mansion, the warm yellow light illuminated the entire room, making it feel cozy and inviting. Old Mr. Foley sat under the light, and even his silver hair seemed to turn golden in its glow. He had a relaxed smile on his face as he looked at the letter in his hand with tears in his eyes.

"Thank goodness, I knew Kelvin wouldn't die. After all, he's my most outstanding grandson," he said through tears.

The letter was sent by Gordon's subordinate and for half a month old Mr. Foley had been fainting frequently due to Kelvin's "death notice." Today was a rare day of clarity for him.

As they say, good news lifts one's spirits; after receiving Chris' message of safety, a hint of redness returned to old Mr. Foley's pale face.

Upon arriving, Emelia noticed an envelope on top of the table at first glance; her eyes lit up briefly before returning to normal again.

"Grandpa, you should take your medicine now," she said gently as she approached him.

Old Mr. Foley instinctively put away the letter on top of the table into a drawer, which he then locked shut.

This series of actions made Emelia feel uneasy inside: Who was he trying to protect himself from?

"Grandpa... what is this thing? Did someone write you a letter? People still write letters these days?"

Old Mr. Foley felt uneasy when asked about it, but pretended not to understand her question. "You must have mistaken it for something else... It's just work reports. By any chance has Vincent returned home yet?"

Kelvin had been missing for over half a month now and Old Mr. Foley wasn't feeling well either during this time period; Corey didn't seem too concerned about company matters despite being the eldest son while Franklin wanted nothing more than taking over but unfortunately very few supported him due to his bad reputation.

He could only let Vincent temporarily act as CEO until Kelvin returned.

Vincent did not disappoint Old Mr. Foley; although not as talented as Kelvin, handled the company business well.

Being the acting CEO for more than half month, Vincent worked overtime every time.

However deep down inside he knew that once Kelvin returned, his position would be given back to Kelvin.

"Grandpa, my brother hasn't come home yet. Since he took over the company, he's been working overtime every day until late at night."

"It's so tiring for him, but I believe things will get better soon."

Old Mr. Foley said as he picked up the medicine Emelia brought and swallowed it in one gulp.

The bitter and astringent medicine made him dizzy and shaky as he took another sip. "The taste of this medicine..."

Why is it different from what he had before?

Cheyenne knew that he didn't like bitter things, so she added licorice to the herbs to balance out the taste.

Emelia lowered her head guiltily and looked at her hands. There was still white powder residue under her fingernails... but no one noticed it in the dim light. "Grandpa, it's made according to Miss Lawrence's prescription. Maybe the maid made a mistake."

Old Mr. Foley didn't think much about it and nodded perfunctorily.

He lifted his bowl again to continue drinking his medicine.

Emelia stood not far behind him, watching as the bowl gradually emptied out. She coldly chuckled without anyone noticing.

Who does this old man think he can fool? She clearly saw what was written on that letter. Kelvin was safe and sound and would take some time to return here! The Todd family received the news at the same time... sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Since Erica died, the Todd family had become extremely desolate...

Kai temporarily let Poppy take care of the twins. The struggle between his eldest son Iker and second son Davon has escalated into a fierce battle...

He knew all of these very well...

He thought that as long as they could maintain peace on the surface, then everything would be fine for now...

But never did Kai expect that things would escalate so much that flames of conflict have already reached him himself!

If they continued like this, then the Todd family will inevitably face destruction!

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts; Kai half sat up groggily against the bedhead while calmly looking towards the luxurious wooden door, "Come in!"

At doorstep appeared a slender tall beautiful figure wearing moon-white silk dress/

With a round face and delicate eyebrows, Thalia had her hair carefully curled and pinned back with a pearl clip, exuding elegancen.

She carried a wooden tray in her hand, with a half-filled glass of hot water and a small medicine bottle no taller than her thumb. She walked gracefully towards Kai's bed, placing the tray on the bedside table before handing him the glass of water.

"Honey, your illness has not improved. I sought out a renowned doctor today to prescribe you new medication," she said.

Kai's vision blurred as he heard Thalia's voice. He reached out towards the sound source and felt the warm glass in his hand.

"This medicine can really cure my illness? Your previous medication only worsened my eyesight," he asked.

He had to wear reading glasses just to read his letter earlier that day; it was quite an ordeal for him.

Thalia's smile stiffened as she displayed impatience in front of Kai. Her voice grew louder as she spoke, "What do you mean by that? Do you think I'm trying to harm you? This medicine was brought all the way from Jostrana by Sophie herself! Even if you don't trust me, surely you wouldn't suspect your beloved daughter."

Sophie was Kai's most cherished daughter who held equal favoritism compared to Kai's little daughter.

Despite disliking Poppy, he valued their daughter greatly.

When Sophie turned eighteen years old, she wanted to study abroad in Jostrana but Kai persuaded her otherwise before finally giving into her wishes. It had been four years since she went abroad.
