Chapter 250
In the past, Tony Parks would scold Julian Parks when he saw Julian giving him a dirty look. However, Tony did not even spare Julian a glance today Instead, he said calmly, “I’m here to look for Annalise.” Everyone was stunned. “What do you want?” Julian asked bluntly. One who was unaccountably solicitous was bound to be hiding their evil intentions. What business did he have with Annalise? Tony frowned and put on the airs of an elder. “Julian Parks, I’m your father. You’ve been married to Annalise for so long. Can’t I look for her?”
“Heh…” Julian sneered. All his emotions were expressed in this sneer. Tony frowned even more. He snorted. “Hmph!” Taking a deep breath, his expression softened a little. He saw that Annalise Barton was guarding Samuel. Samuel already had more than 20 silver needles on him. Then he said, “Annalise, are you doing acupuncture on Father?” “Yes,” Annalise replied calmly.
“Thank you!” Tony said. Annalise was surprised. Was she hearing things? Tony actually thanked her? When had he not been violent? It hadn’t been long since he kicked over the grill and said Annalise had sold fake goods in front of everyone. “Has your mentor returned?” Tony asked. After winning the bid for the entire set of clay teapots, he was about to look for Joseph Quigley when he learned from the servants that he was no longer living in Julian’s villa.
“Yes,” Annalise replied. Tony looked at Annalise’s indifferent expression and felt the urge to flare up. Was this an acceptable attitude a junior should have toward an elder? Thinking that he was here to ask for a favor, he suppressed his anger and said with a gentle expression, “Where is he staying now?” “He told me not to reveal his whereabouts,” Annalise said faintly. Tony was speechless.
Then he became angrier when he heard Annalise say that. For some reason, he had already prepared himself mentally and told himself that Annalise was not as bad as the rumors said. She was not an incompetent girl but a graduate student of Jadeborough Medical University. Moreover, she was Joseph’s disciple. Although she wasn’t worthy of the Parks family, they could do with her. However, when he saw Annalise’s attitude, he felt very annoyed.
Thinking that the Energizing Pill was definitely Joseph Quigley’s doing, he suppressed his anger and tried his best to say gently, “I’ve prepared a set of clay teapots for your mentor. When you go back, help me bring it to him.” “There’s no need” Annalise’s tone was still indifferent. Tony felt his patience running out. He cursed inwardly, “Do you think it’s for you? What right do you have to reject on behalf of him?” Thinking that Annalise was Joseph’s beloved disciple, he softened his tone and said, “Anna, this is for your mentor. Accept them on his behalf. We’re family now, so we have to interact more.” Annalise was at a loss for words when faced with Tony’s shamelessness. Julian retorted, “He won’t accept them.”
“What do you mean?” Tony did not feel the need to maintain a good attitude toward Julian as he did with Annalise. “Literally what I just said. He doesn’t think much of clay teapots,” Julian said flatly. “What do you know?” Tony retorted sternly. “Do you think those gifts to Master Quigley pre ordinary ones? This is Mr. Quimby’s clay teapot set, and it’s even a complete set.” Julian looked at Tony as if he was a retard and said calmly, “Mr. Quimby lives with Joseph Quigley. He is also a mentor of Annalise’s.” He didn’t want to say it at first, but he couldn’t help it when he saw Tony’s expression. He wanted Tony to know that Annalise’s identity was out of reach for ordinary people like him. Tony was confused.
“What?” He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Living with Joseph Quigley? Also Annalise’s mentor? Julian glanced at Tony and did not say anything else. Tony was at a loss for words. His expression could no longer be described as contorted. Julian found this simply entertaining. He recalled his meeting with Joseph. At that time, he gave Joseph a clay teapot. At first, Joseph was elated, but then he suddenly flew into a rage and said he gave him a fake. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
He emphasized that it was authentic, so Joseph sent Mr. Quimby a video of the clay teapot, and Mr. Quimby also confirmed it as fake. Previously, he had mistakenly thought that Joseph and Cash Cappell were just acquaintances. What else did he not understand now? They were clearly putting on a show. Was he trying to avenge Annalise? This was simply unreasonable! He didn’t even treat Annalise that badly! He was just a little strict. Besides, Annalise wasn’t respectful toward him either. He looked at Annalise who was focused on removing Samuel’s needles. He couldn’t help but frown.
Although he still disliked Annálise, he had to admit that she was a professional in the field of medicine. She was rather competent. “Samuel, how do you feel?” Annalise finished retrieving the needle and asked. “Much better,” Old Mr. Parks said. “Remember to take the Energizing Pill every day. Don’t think of it as a waste. I still have more,” Annalise said. The pills were actually the Vigor Consolidating pills, but Tony was here, so she did not want him to know that there was another type of elixir pills. “Okay, okay,” Samuel replied. When Tony heard Annalise’s words, a scorching light flashed across his eyes. As expected, Joseph could refine Energizing Pills.
From what Annalise said, he figured she could ask her mentor to refine the pills anytime she wanted. If he could have a bottle of Energizing Pill, he could extend his lifespan by at least 20 years. He could not help but regret it. If his attitude towards Annalise previously had not been so bad, their relationship would not have been so awkward. If he wanted to ease the awkwardness and repair their relationship, he had to find a breakthrough and an opportunity. The word “opportunity” flashed across his mind, and an idea suddenly popped up. There was an opportunity!
He said, “Old Mr. Xander’s birthday is next month. Prepare a congratulatory gift in advance so others won’t look down on you. The 73rd and 84th birthdays are significant events for Chanaeans. Remember to prepare a lavish gift.” Then he would also praise Annalise in front of outsiders to ease their relationship. With that, he waited for their response. He wished they could answer him, albeit just a “Hm.” He would be satisfied with that. But in the end, no one said anything. Tony gritted his teeth in anger and left in boredom. He would wait until it was Old Mr. Xander’s birthday.
It was soon afternoon. Julian accompanied Annalise to the Xander’s residence to treat Sybil Xander’s brother. Sybil said that he had been bedridden for 20 years and had had a bone marrow transplant. After the bone marrow transplant, his body recovered, but he experienced an emotional shock and had not recovered since then. For 20 years, he had been in a state of near death.
They also hired doctors to treat him but it was futile. Annalise had also told Sybil in advance that she could go and take a look on account of their friendship, but she might not be able to treat him. Sybil told
Annalise not to be pressurized. Everyone knew his condition. He was ill mentally and also physically. With Sybil’s words, Annalise was relieved. In any case, she would take a look first. As for whether he could be treated, she would only know after she saw the patient.
