Chapter 424: Iker’s Return

At the Todd mansion, Iker’s return also stirred up ripples in the otherwise peaceful Todd family, like a stone causing ripples in a lake.

Davon and Thalia greeted him with smiles, but during the welcoming banquet, they made numerous attempts to test Iker’s legs.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to toast, Thalia deliberately spilled wine on Iker’s leg and exaggeratedly exclaimed, “Oops, Iker. I was just trying to toast you, but the wine slipped out. Oh dear, you see, my hands shake as I grow older. You’re not angry, are you?”

Tanner quickly handed a white towel to Iker, who calmly wiped off the spilled wine from his pants. His voice was as cold as frost. “It’s nothing.”

If it were an ordinary person, they would instinctively move away when wine spilled on their legs. But Iker’s lack of reaction meant that his legs were still unresponsive, just as they were before.

During a brief moment when no one was paying attention, Davon exchanged a knowing glance with Thalia.

Kai, sitting in the first seat, furrowed his brows, showing signs of displeasure.

“Isn’t this old Mr. Edwards famous for being a miraculous doctor? Why hasn’t your leg improved? What have you been doing during your stay of over half a month?”

Hearing his father’s clearly angry tone, Iker calmly replied, “It has nothing to do with the Edwards family. Under their treatment, although my legs haven’t regained the ability to stand, the pain has lessened.” Kai’s expression slightly improved upon hearing these words, and he snorted before continuing to eat.

Adrian, standing behind everyone, stared at Iker’s legs with a puzzled expression. The last time at the Foley mansion, he was certain that Cheyenne had learned Thirteen Needles, and according to the normal procedure, Master Iker’s legs should have healed. So why were they still unresponsive? Was Iker pretending?

Iker’s eyes didn’t escape the scrutinizing gaze of Adrian. He turned around and stared directly back at him, calmly asking, “Adrian, do you have something to say?”

The latter quickly raised his wine glass and smiled lightly at him. “Master Iker, you misunderstood me. I’m just happy to see your leg injury healed.”
