Chapter 16
Korah and Wade were in shock and disbelief when they saw Cyrus standing under the spotlight on the stage beside Zedekiah.
Lufian’s eyes were wide as he watched Cyrus walk across the stage. He could not believe what he was seeing
Zedekiah was important, and it was practically impossible to meet someone like him, let alone be able to stand beside him.
Cyrus felt resigned. He truly did not like to be in the spotlight. Mr. Frank once told him that keeping a low profile was the kingly way. If Zedekiah had not helped Gardner Corporation with its wish to have the International Prosperous Project, he would never have agreed to this. “Cyrus, is there something you want to say?” Zedekiah asked with a smile.
Cyrus shook his head, looking uninterested.
Zedekiah was a wise man. He naturally noticed Cyrus’ demeanor and laughed cheerfully.” Since Cyrus has nothing to say, I have something to say…” After some polite remarks, he asked the waiters to start serving delicious food for the audience to enjoy. Everyone thought Zedekiah would continue his speech. They laughed a little as they thought to themselves, ‘This young man is not getting much attention. Mr. Gardner probably only mentioned him once for Truman’s sake.’
They naturally knew that Zedekiah came to Fliton City to get Truman to treat him. This young man was probably Truman’s successor or his student. ‘It’s natural that Truman is paving this young man’s path using Mr. Gardner’s fame.’ Cyrus excused himself and got off the stage. When he found Truman, he said to him in a low voice, “Mr. Truman, just say that you saved Mr. Penn and it has nothing to do with me. Try not to get me involved in this. “I won’t be staying in Fliton City for too long. I’ll be heading back to my village in three months or at most six months’ time. My master likes peace and quiet. If many people find out and come to me for treatment, my master will definitely yell at me.”
“You’re only staying here temporarily…? Aren’t you marrying Mr. Gardner’s granddaughter?” Truman could not help but ask. “I’m not.” Cyrus shook his head. ‘Please don’t say that!’ Thump thump! Thump thump! Truman could not help but raise his eyebrows as his heartbeat increased. ‘I was there when
Mr. Gardner told Korah and Cyrus to register their marriage. ‘I thought they already tied the knot. Turns out… they haven’t?! “This is good news!
“Of course, no worries! I’ll handle Mr. Penn.” Truman tried to suppress his happiness as he replied with a stern face. Cyrus smiled. “Thank you, Dr. Cohen!” At this moment, Alda came over, blushing, and looked at Cyrus with hope. “Cyrus, I heard that there is a beautiful sea of lights in this manor. Will you come with me to see it?” Cyrus thought about it and agreed, since he was free.
“Sure.”
Truman felt happy when he saw how close the two of them were becoming.
“You two go ahead. I’ll go and find Mr. Penn.”
Alda said playfully, “Grandpa, bye-bye!” After they went off, Truman lamented, “Girls really just forget their own families when they meet someone they love…”.
He got ready and was about to look for Redmond in the private room. However, when he was about to leave, someone behind him called out his name.
“Dr. Cohen, wait!”
Truman was slightly stunned. He turned to see who it was.
‘Huh? Isn’t that the Gardner family?’
