Even though Sheffield was ticked off, he could do nothing about it! "Okay. Master, I'm taking off. I really have something urgent to deal with." "Leave? You haven't washed your face," Vernon said.
Rubbing his face, Sheffield suddenly realized the old man was right. He had to go back to the bathroom to hurriedly wash his face.
He didn't leave until after breakfast.
He felt guilty about spending so little time with Vernon, so he promised, "I know we didn't get much time together. I'll drop by as soon as I come back from France."
Vernon snorted and squinted at him. "Well...you could let me tag along."
"I can't. I'm bringing my girlfriend along, and three's a crowd. I can go anywhere you want after I get back."
"Sounds like a plan. How about the South Pole?"
Sheffield was agape. "Get real, Master. You can't swim, and even if you could, it's just too cold. I'd worry about someone your age going there. It's not good for you." 'We'd freeze to death there,' Sheffield thought.
Vernon stared at him. "So are you going there with me or not?"
Looking at the old man, Sheffield suddenly felt bad for him. "Sure, Master. Whatever you want."
There was a glint in Vernon's eye. "Whatever I want. What a delightful philosophy! Okay, you can go now!"
"Okay. Bye, Master!" Sheffield trotted away.
Watching him leave, Vernon's boy disciple asked in confusion, "Master, do you know what he's been up to lately?"
"Humph! He's always so mysterious. I'm his master, and even I don't know much about him." Sheffield had only asked him for help when he tried to overturn the verdict regarding his mother, Ingrid. He had kept other things to himself.
The boy disciple nodded despite not understanding completely. But he didn't ask anything else and continued drying the medicinal herbs.
