Chapter 313: Piece of Mind

Mr. Owen and Kelvin had just reached the room’s doorway when they saw an elderly man with silver hair standing by old Mr. Foley’s bedside.

He wore a long black robe, shiny leather handmade shoes, and had a face filled with wrinkles that exuded an uncomfortable aura. Especially when his slender, narrow eyes fixed on someone, it gave off the eerie feeling of being hunted.

Kelvin’s eyes revealed a hint of doubt. This man’s presence was very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere. The black robe…

In Kelvin’s mind, a scene from Soar Casino flashed involuntarily. It was an encounter in passing, but the figure in the black robe from that moment seemed to overlap with the man standing before him. While Kelvin contemplated, Adrian held a silver needle and gently inserted it into old Mr. Foley’s shoulder. His technique was skillful and agile, clearly demonstrating his familiarity with acupuncture points. As the needle went in, old Mr. Foley felt like a boulder on his body had been shifted, and he immediately felt much lighter. His consciousness also became somewhat clearer.

“Grandfather, how do you feel?” Vincent’s handsome and concerned face was enlarged before his eyes, full of genuine care and worry.

“It seems… much better. The heaviness has lessened,” old Mr. Foley replied, and the scene of his children and grandchildren gathered at his bedside warmed his heart.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw a tall figure standing at the door, prompting him to smile faintly.

As Adrian turned around, Mr. Owen also finally recognized the person. His face showed astonishment, and he pointed a trembling finger at the man, struggling to form a coherent sentence. “Adrian? How can it be you… you’re not…”

When Adrian was young, he was considered a bright star in the medical field, although he couldn’t compare to his brother Layne’s exceptional talent, he still stood out among his peers. However, more than twenty years ago, he had betrayed the Edwards family and disappeared without a trace.
