Chapter 77 Smart Grandpa
Martin''s face was very pale. When Draxton entered, Martin struggled to get up from the bed. Draxton said in a deep voice, "Lie down and don''t move."
Martin looked at Draxton''s serious expression and finallyy down weakly. However, his eyes still followed Draxton closely.
other Draxton was also shocked. All of them knew very well how serious Martin''s injuries were. If it was any hospital or doctor, Martin would have ended up dead. However, he was really saved in Lotus Vige. This was a life that was really taken back by force from the gates of hell.
Draxton figured that the Sanctum of Holy Doctors''s medical skills were really magical to an unimaginable
extent.
"Mr. Lockwood..." Martin said weakly as he looked at Draxton. Currently, he was only slightly weak from just waking up.
"The Star of Cold Light has been found. You saved my life. From now on, you''re free."
Draxton looked at him and said calmly.
Martin''s eyes turned red. "Sir, are you kicking me out?"
Draxton shook his head and said seriously, "No, I''m not kicking you out. I just want to give you a chance to choose. You can choose any life you want. This is mypensation to you." Martin''s eyes lit up.
He
struggled to get up. That time, he did not listen to Draxton''s orders. He forcefully got up from the bed and knelt on the ground with a loud thump. He said extremely sincerely. "Mr. Lockwood, I can no longer follow you in the future!"
Draxton looked at him with an indescribable feeling in his heart. Since Martin had chosen to leave, since Draxton had said that he would let the man go, he would definitely keep his word.
Before he could speak, Martin continued, "Sir, please allow me to stay by Ms. Betty''s side and protect her. My life was saved by Ms. Betty and Mr. Falkona. My life will belong to Ms. Betty from now on. Beginning from this day, I will only be loyal to Ms. Betty. I will be loyal to her for the rest of my life and would rather die than change. Please agree to my request.
Draxton looked at him with aplicated expression.
"Since this is your choice, I have no objections. However, I have no say in regard to Betty. You have to seek her permission yourself."
Draxton also had a headache. If Betty was just an ordinary child, he would agree on her behalf. However, when he thought of that child''s personality, Draxton felt both proud and helpless. He really did not dare to make her unhappy.
Martin''s eyes were filled with gratitude when he saw Draxton agree. From then on, his life was Betty''s. "Then recuperate well. We''ll talk about everything after you recover."
Draxton gave him aplicated look, turned around, and walked out.
A monthter.
Draxton, Betty, and Old Greg walked down the mountain with arge medicine basket on his back. Mr. Langley and Jocelyn stood at the entrance of the vige and watched the three of theme down the mountain. Mr. Langley''s expression was cold as he said in disdain, "Why isn''t he leaving? How long has he been staying around here? That guy practically lives off of us here. How shameless. He''s the head of the Lockwood Group. Does he have nothing better to do?"
Jocelyn sneered. "Didn''t you see that although Betty has been teasing him a lot recently, the kid has already gotten very happy to get along with him?"
Mr. Langley snorted. "He does have his way, I''d admit. First, he captured Be''s heart, made Be marry him, and even took in Ricky. Now, he even wormed his way to Betty."
Jocelyn sighed softly. "Be is not someone who will suffer losses and do nothing about it. I''m not worried about this. The main thing is that the children need a father."
Mr. Langley''s face darkened. After a while, he snorted and said, "Humph, it''s all because of the children. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have let him off so easily!"
In the past five years, Be had been forced into a corner. It was only a given that they felt sorry for her.
After all, Be was their beloved disciple. They did not have children of their own and treated her as their biological daughter.
The three of them walked over. Betty had already been cured and no longer had panda-like eyes. The little girl. was fair and tender like a cute porcin doll.
At this moment, Betty had a sweet smile on her face. It was obvious that she was very happy to be around Draxton
Draxton ced the medicinal herbs in the designated ce, carefully sorting and washing them before spreading them out to dry.
Betty watched from the side and felt that her annoying father was quite pleasing to the eye.
It had to be said that even when doing such things, Draxton still did it very calmly and elegantly. He did it in an orderly manner without a trace of disorder or embarrassment.
Betty was even more satisfied. She was all about looks. She found that annoying father to look quite good and behaved quite pleasingly as well.
She figured that he was barely passable as her mother''s mate.
She figured that long as her mother wanted the man, she and Ricky could call him daddy!
After Draxton finished his work, he looked up and saw Betty staring at him in a daze. He smiled dotingly and asked gently, "Little Queen Betty, have you thought about what daddy told you a few days ago abou going back to Dawton City with me?"
Betty tilted her head and said proudly, "Is there a need to consider? Mommy and Ricky are there. Of course I have to go too."
Draxton''s eyes immediately shed with joy. He could not help but stretch out his long arm and scoop the little girl up. He turned around and raised her above his head.
Finally, Betty sat on Draxton''s shoulders. Draxton had a calm face and yet, his eyes were all smiles. He carried his daughter and walked around Lotus Vige.
Ss and the subordinates from both the Executive Department and Department of War were currently looking at Draxton in a speechless manner. They wondered if that loving, doting father was actually that regal, unemotional chieftain of theirs.
Draxton carried Betty around. When he returned, he saw Jocelyn leaning against the vige entrance with her arms crossed and looking at him with a faint smile.
The gentle expression on Draxton''s face became a little more solemn. He asked, "Master Grey, is there. something you''d need me for?"
Jocelyn narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at the father and daughter. They looked too simr. Little Betty was riding on Draxton''s shoulders. Her chubby hands were grabbing Draxton''s hair. Two small pinches were sticking out of her hands. It hurt just looking at them.
Little Betty had a smile on her face. Her face was red and she looked exceptionally cute.
Jocelyn did not take Little Betty''s presence into consideration and said directly. "Seeing that you look so happy, it would seem that Betty has agreed to go back with you?"
Draxton nodded "Indeed."
Jocelyn didn''t say anything about that. Instead, she said, "I''m here looking to work with you. I''m certain that you would know about the n Mobius."
"Of course I know n Mobius is mysterious and powerful, strange and ruthless. Anyone would twitch hearing about them."
Jocelyn said, "If I were to tell you that I have an irreconcble feud with the n Mobius and that Be is also the target of the n Mobius, what will you do?"
Draxton''s expression changed. Then, he calmed down and said, "Be is my lover, family, and one of my own."
Jocelyn smiled in satisfaction.
Betty grabbed Draxton''s hair and rode on Draxton''s shoulders. At first, she listened excitedly to Grandma Grey talk about cooperation with her father. Then, she yawned and fell asleep on her father''s head. With Old Greg''s medicine, Martin''s injuries were almost healed. That day, he knelt in front of Betty and acknowledged her as his master.
Martin did not lie to Betty. He told Betty about his and n''s previous mistakes, and then asked for her forgiveness. Betty''s little face was puffed up with anger. She was obviously very angry, but in the end, she still epted Martin.
She took out a jelly bean and fed it to Martin. She threatened, "This is poison. Eat it and you can''t betray me in the future."
Martin did not know whether tough or cry, but he did not expose the little girl. Instead, he cooperated and wore a frightened expression, saying that he would never betray her.
Draxton looked at his former subordinate with aplicated expression, who was then trying to please his daughter.
On that day, they finally left Lotus Vige. The Lockwood family''s private jet hovered above Lotus Vige and picked them up.
That was the first time Betty left Lotus Vige.
She looked at the elders reluctantly and said, "When I learn how to fly a ne, I''ll definitelye back to see you all!"
Draxton and Martin looked at the little girl with smiles in their eyes.
Martin felt that his little master might really learn how to fly a ne someday.
Draxton was even more proud. In his opinion, his daughter was omnipotent, but he only wanted the girl to be happy.
No matter what she wanted, Draxton would bring it to her with both hands.
Just as Draxton returned to Dawton City, a group of people arrived at Dawton City Airport.
They were led by Bridget and an old man.
The old man had white hair and a goatee. He was wearing avish suit of unique design embroidered with auspicious clouds. He looked very low-key yet extravagant.
The old man was tall and thin. Perhaps because he had just recovered from his serious injuries, his face was extremely pale. He was so thin that he was almost skin and bones. His eyes were deep and his cheekbones were protruding.
That old man was Bridget''s master Carlos Orwell, the Sanctum of Holy Doctors''s traitor.
Carlos had indeed just recovered from his serious injuries. Over the past month, he had finally been saved by Bridget and recovered. Although he was still weak, he was mostly fine.
His eyes flickered with a cold light. He had lived overseas for many years. That time, he came back to deal
with a few matters.
The first matter was to deal with Greg and his disciple, Isabe.
The second matter was regarding the session of the president of the Traditional Medical Association.
In his opinion, there was no need for him to worry about the second matter. Naturally, he could take over the position of President and then the authority of the said association.
What bothered him was the first matter.
Greg and his disciple, isabe!
When they returned to the Riker family, Patriarch Riker warmly held a banquet to wee them. Halfway through the banquet, a subordinate who was monitoring the Lockwood family called Patriarch Riker hung up the phone in shock.
"Grandpa, what''s wrong? What happened?" Seeing Patriarch Riker''s expression, Bridget realized that something was wrong
Carlos also looked over
Patriarch Riker took a deep breath and said, "Draxton came back alive."
ck!
The fork in Bridget''s hand fell to the ground.
"He... came back alive?" Bridget''s tone wasplicated.
Patriarch Riker said, "I''m going to the Lockwood family tonight. I want to confirm Draxton''s current situation. Also, no matter what happens to Draxton, I want Draxton to agree to marry you." Bridget said, "Grandpa, I''ll go with you."
She also wanted to see how Draxton was doing, to see if it really was as Jacob had said, that the man had been poisoned and was crippled.
In the evening, at the Lockwood family''s ce.
Draxton went straight back to the vi area where her parents lived.
Now, Isabe also lived here.
Now, Olivia and Isabe were already very close. It was not an exaggeration to say that they even ate and slept together.
When she saw Draxton return, Olivia''s first reaction was why was her brother back so soon, and would that mean that he would be fighting over Isabe with her.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
She looked at her brother bitterly.
However, she soon realized that her sister-inw and parents did not seem to be looking at her brother. Instead... they were looking behind him.
Betty hid behind Draxton and secretly looked at her mother.
Isabe was in a bad mood. She wondered why Bettye back with Draxton.
"When did they meet and acknowledge each other?"
"Why didn''t she know?"
"Betty, you little traitor!"
Isabe looked at Betty aggrievedly.
Betty was not afraid of anything but her mother.
She dared to provoke anyone, but she was afraid of her mother. As long as her mother was angry or aggrieved, she would panic..
"Oh my god, where did this little babye from?" Jeanne clutched her chest and finally said her first
sentence.
Philip''s eyes lit up. He walked forward and pulled Betty into his arms without a word. Then, he said to Isabe with a straight face, "Be, this child is definitely not Draxton''s biological child. Don''t misunderstand."
Philip was rather impressed by his own supreme intelligence.
Isabe was speechless.
Betty was confused.
The girl wondered if she had mistaken Draxton for her father.
