Chapter 168

Richard thought to himself, This must be the worst news I have heard all month. No wonder I always found Behrami annoying; it turns out he is Taylor’s apprentice.

As for Taylor, his job should be growing flowers. But why does he have so many apprentices?

As if he had guessed what Richard was silently complaining about, Behram spoke casually. “Mr. Johnson originally studied medicine, and his research is also in the medical field. He is a pioneer in this area, and it is my honor to be his apprentice.”

Behram’s words were sincere, filled with genuine pride. Richard could not find anything to retort. All the things Richard had wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

Richard’s face even turned a little red from holding back. In the end, perhaps feeling that his reaction was not magnanimous enough. Richard forced himself to act indifferent. “Oh, that is pretty impressive.”

Looking at it from another angle, the more remarkable that Taylor is, the more it highlights Yvonne’s brilliance. With that thought, Richard felt a little better. ‘My granddaughter was taken in as an apprentice by an academician when she was only three years old. That is something to be proud of for a lifetime!

Now that Behram was here, he saw it with his own eyes. However, the oranges Richard was eating seemed to be a special kind.

Behram was not entirely sure of the details, but since there were no immediate issues, he decided not to stay any longer.

Before leaving, Behram gave one last piece of advice. “No matter what, you should eat fewer oranges. You need to practice moderation.”

Looking at the old man like that, he obviously didn’t listen carefully.

The doctor took his suitcase out, took out his car keys, turned around and left here after starting it.

Taking out his car keys, Behram started the engine, turned around, and drove off, not back to the hospital, but somewhere

else.

At the research institute, after undergoing multiple security checks, Behram was finally allowed inside.

The institute looked much the same as it had during Behram’s last visit, except that the security was noticeably tighter.

A guard stood at the office door, checked Behram’s credentials, and then opened the door to let him in.
