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 finally lay 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 Village.
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 my compensation 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 a complicated 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 a complicated look, turned around, and walked out.
A month later.
Draxton, Betty, and Old Greg walked down the mountain with a large medicine basket on his back. Mr.
Langley and Jocelyn stood at the entrance of the village and watched the three of them come 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?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMr. Langley snorted. “He does have his way, I’d admit. First, he captured Bella’s heart, made Bella marry
him, and even took in Ricky. Now, he even wormed his way to Betty.”
Jocelyn sighed softly. “Bella 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, Bella had been forced into a corner. It was only a given that they felt sorry for her.
After all, Bella 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 porcelain 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 placed the medicinal herbs in the designated place, 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 about
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 | have to go too.”
Draxton’s eyes immediately flashed 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 Village.
Silas 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 village 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 similar. 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 Clan Mobius.”
“Of course I know Clan 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 irreconcilable feud with the Clan Mobius and that Bella is
also the target of the Clan Mobius, what will you do?”
Draxton’s expression changed. Then, he calmed down and said, “Bella 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 Alan’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 accepted 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 to laugh 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 a complicated expression, who was then trying to please
his daughter.
On that day, they finally left Lotus Village. The Lockwood family’s private jet hovered above Lotus Village
and picked them up.
That was the first time Betty left Lotus Village.
She looked at the elders reluctantly and said, “When I learn how to fly a plane, I’ll definitely come 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 plane 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 a lavish 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, Isabella.
The second matter was regarding the succession 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat bothered him was the first matter.
Greg and his disciple, isabella!
When they returned to the Riker family, Patriarch Riker warmly held a banquet to welcome 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.”
Clack!
The fork in Bridget’s hand fell to the ground.
“He… came back alive?” Bridget’s tone was complicated.
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 place.
Draxton went straight back to the villa area where her parents lived.
Now, Isabella also lived here.
Now, Olivia and Isabella 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 Isabella with her.
She looked at her brother bitterly.
However, she soon realized that her sister-in-law 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.
Isabella was in a bad mood. She wondered why Betty come back with Draxton.
“When did they meet and acknowledge each other?”
“Why didn’t she know?”
“Betty, you little traitor!”
Isabella 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 baby come 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
Isabella with a straight face, “Bella, this child is definitely not Draxton’s biological child. Don’t
misunderstand.”
Philip was rather impressed by his own supreme intelligence.
Isabella was speechless.
Betty was confused.
The girl wondered if she had mistaken Draxton for her father.
