Chapter 167

At first, Charles did not understand why Richard suddenly changed his expression, but after tasting the orange, Charles

understood.

It is delicious. No wonder Grandpa wanted to take all the oranges for himself. If it were someone else, they would probably have the same thought. Charles thought.

Silently, Charles tightened his grip on his basket and cast a wary glance at Richard.

Charles‘ concern was not unfounded. Richard did, in fact, glance at his basket several times over the next few minutes.

But for some reason, in the end. Richard let Charles‘ oranges be.

Taking advantage of the moment, Charles hurried back to his room with his basket.

When he was younger, Richard feared nothing. But as he aged and his health declined, various illnesses started catching up

with him.

His doctor, Behram Jonathan, was a strict and dedicated professional who came every two weeks to check if Richard was feeling unwell.

If Behram ever caught Richard ignoring his medical advice, he would not hesitate to scold Richard fiercely.
