The Mans Decree Chapter 171

After getting off work, Hilda didn’t hitch a ride home with Jared but hailed a taxi home by herself.

“What’s wrong with her today?” Jared murmured under his breath. He could sense her being listless

the entire day, and she didn’t speak to him either. Having driven home, he got changed, and Josephine

came to pick him up. A luxurious car idling in front of the dilapidated neighborhood attracted plenty of

attention in a blink of an eye.

“Who’s this wealthy lady, and why is she here in our shabby neighborhood?” “Could it be that she has

taken a fancy to one of the lads here?” “It’s evident that she’s filthy rich at a single glance, so how could

she possibly be interested in the lads here?” A group of elderly ladies was sitting by the neighborhood

entrance, shooting the breeze. Among them was Chloe, and she was also very curious to know who

exactly the person in the car was waiting for.

However, when she spotted Jared exiting the neighborhood and getting into the car, she was wholly

stumped. “Chloe, that’s Gary’s son, Jared, no? So, he has gotten himself a rich girlfriend!” “I remember

that he’s quite close to your daughter, Hilda. What’s going on here?” “Young people nowadays are

always materialistic…” The few elderly ladies gossiped among themselves while Chloe rushed home to

ask her daughter what exactly had happened.

After Jared had gotten into Josephine’s car, they went all the way to the suburbs in Horington according

to the location Walter had given them. The area was undeveloped, so single-story houses

predominated, and the roads were rather bumpy as well. More than an hour later, they finally arrived at

their destination. By then, Walter was already waiting there.

As Jared swept his gaze around, he couldn’t quite believe that Walter had a good friend at such a

place, considering his identity. “Mr. Chance!” Walter went up to Jared and greeted him courteously right

away. Beside Walter stood a similarly elderly man with graying hair at his temples. However, his aura

and dressing were as different as night and day from Walter. “This is Mr. Chance whom I spoke of,

Kieran.

His medical skills are unparalleled,” Walter murmured to the elderly man beside him. As soon as Kieran

Snyder saw Jared, he froze with disbelief written all over his face. In his mind, he pictured a professor

or expert over seventy years old, since Walter had revered the person so greatly to the point of

addressing him as “Mr.” and lauding his medical skills. Thus, he never expected Jared to be so young,

a mere kid to someone of his age.

“Kieran, Kieran!” Walter called out to the man who had fallen into a trance. Jolting back to his senses,

Kieran quickly extended his dry and wrinkled hand, saying to Jared, “Oh, sorry! Nice to meet you, Mr.

Chance.” Jared shook his hand and inclined his head a fraction in greeting. “Kieran’s wife is in the

house, Mr. Chance. Please look her over.”

While Walter spoke, Kieran walked ahead and led the way. Walter walked alongside Jared and

explained his relationship with Kieran. It turned out that they were childhood friends, and Walter had

also used to live in a single-story house in the area when he was young. Of course, that was decades

ago.

He had left after attending school and had slowly gone into politics. In time, he rarely contacted his old

friends anymore. After he had retired and returned to Horington once more, he got in touch with his old

friends. He then wanted to help Kieran move from the suburbs and buy him a house in the city, but

Kieran was reluctant to leave.

Hence, he relented. The two of them often chatted over tea. While Kieran led a humble life, he found it

very fulfilling and had never asked Walter for anything. However, a few days ago, he had suddenly

sought the man out and implored him to help find a skilled doctor to treat his wife.
