Chapter 549


    Later that afternoon, at the Moore family mansion.


    Donald and Sean had already selected some gifts in advance before heading to the Moore family


    mansion. 6


    Lord Moore knew that the father and son from the Webb family were at Aurous Hill, but he also


    knew that something had happened to the youngest son of the Webb family. Therefore, he did not


    expect them toe and visit him so soon. 3


    However, since both the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Webb family were here, Lord Moore


    was naturally very polite, and he came out to entertain the both of them in person. 3


    At this time, Donald and Sean were both sitting opposite Lord Moore in the living room, and Oscar


    was serving tea and snacks to everyone as they all chatted happily together.


    Donald presented Lord Moore with a lot of gifts and also shook hands with Lord Moore as he said,


    "Uncle Moore, I have not seen you in such a long time! I did not expect you to look so strong and


    healthy at this age. I really envy you, Lord Moore!” 2


    Lord Moore smiled slightly before he said, "My body is not as strong and healthy as it seems. At


    best, I will be able to live for a few more years."


    Donald hurriedly replied, "Uncle Moore, you are truly


    too humble.”


    After that, he spoke again, "Uncle Moore, I heard that you fell critically ill thest time. However, you


    seem t o look very radiant. I believe that you are already in good health now?" 1


    Lord Moore smiled bitterly before he said, "At first, I really thought that I was lucky and in good


    health, but I only realize today that I am far from great." 3


    Donald was a little surprised when he heard Lord Moore''s words. He quickly asked, "Uncle Moore,


    what d o you define as great then?"


    Lord Moore smiled slightly before he eximed, "Well, it would be great if I could return to the state


    my body was in more than ten years ago overnight!"


    As he said this, Lord Moore thought of Anthony who had subverted his cognition and shocked him


    terribly today. 5


    He could not forget about it even aftering back from the Serene World Clinic, and he was still


    brooding over it. 3


    He did not know if he would ever be able to experience an opportunity like that for himself. If he


    could, he would not have lived in vain.


    Donald did not know what Lord Moore had experienced and witnessed for himself. Therefore, he


    thought that Lord Moore was joking when he said this. So, he smiled before he said, "As the saying


    goes, there is a day where the flowers will bloom again, but people will never be young again.


    Uncle Moore, I know that you wish that you were young again. I also have the same wish as you.


    Unfortunately, this is nothing more than a fantasy that is impossible to realize." 4


    Lord Moore smiled slightly and did not say anything else.


    After all, the only reason why Donald felt they couldn''t be young again was because he had


    never encountered someone like Charlie in this world. 1

    Thus, Lord Moore did not want to waste any more time talking to him about this.


    At this time, Lord Moore suddenly asked Donald, "By the way, Donald, how is your second son''s


    situation now?"


    Donald sighed before he said, "He is still in the same condition. I have already tried all sorts of


    methods and ways, but there is no progress at all. I have already sent him back to Sudbury on a


    ne earlier this morning." 1


    As he spoke about this, Donald continued speaking," The reason Sean and I have decided to stay


    back in Aurous Hill is because I want to find out the reason why my youngest son suddenly came


    down with this illness. I strongly suspect that someone has cast a spell on him or used ck magic


    on him. There is a strong reason for us to believe that his illness has something to do with the


    witchcraft practices in Southeast Asia. I wonder if you know anyone good at dealing with this kind of


    practice in Aurous Hill, Uncle Moore?" 2


    Lord Moore shook his head before he said, "I have only heard of witchcraft and ck magic, but I


    have never seen or experienced it personally before. I can''t even b e certain whether these things


    really exist or not."


    Donald replied earnestly, "These things are actually true, but they are usually used by the smaller


    communities and poorer people on the sidelines.


    Many people use these methods because they desire t 0 be richer and gain wealth for


    themselves. Wealthy and powerful families such as ours generally do not engage in these


    practices."
