“I do have one. Let me send it to you.” Joseph Shaw accepted the task.
Soon, he sent over a photo of Willa Doyle’s teacher from his phone to Julian Shaw.
Unfortunately, one single photo was not enough to prove much.
“Joseph, did he ever mention his past?” Julian asked.
“Only what Willa told you before.” Joseph then added, “As for his true identity, he didn’t talk about that, and we didn’t ask either. To show our respect, we addressed him as ‘teacher’ just like Willa most of the time.”
Julian could not help furrowing his brows. An old man capable of creating an effective cure certainly had to possess top standards in the pharmaceutical profession. His capability was not something shameful, so why did he need to hide his true identity?
“You’re worried about his identity, right?” Joseph could read Julian’s mind so he said straightforwardly, “At the time, I went and investigated it in private too. The teacher and Willa discovered the red grass and dwelled in the nearby area slightly earlier than when my group of people arrived in Africa. Thus, it was impossible for them to be waiting for us in advance. Our encounter was genuinely a coincidence. I can only say that God feels that it’s not time for my subordinates to die yet so He sent these two people to us.
“My gang of subordinates is genuinely doing much better already after receiving treatment for a year. I took their blood for blood tests and found that the amount of the Errol Virus in their blood has been reduced compared to one year ago. Everything is heading in a good direction.”
“Plus, the teacher is obsessed with the research. He helped treat the Errol Virus infection throughout the entire year and never asked for anything in return all this time. If you were to say that he is plotting something, I really can’t think of anything, to be honest. What is he plotting? I personally feel that these two people can be trusted.”
Joseph’s remarks made sense. Julian could not help pondering it.
After a long time, he said, “Noted. Thanks a lot.”
He hung up the phone and stared at the photo of the old man for a long time. Joseph had said that he believed there was no issue with their identities.
However, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Julian handed the photo of the old man to his staff and ordered them to look into the old man’s true identity.
However, according to Willa’s description, the old man had dwelled in deep seclusion during the past few years and had traveled all over the world searching for a way to eradicate the Errol Virus. He speculated that very few people had seen him before, let alone found out his true identity.
Julian dispatched the order, but entertaining the idea of having something was better than nothing.
All in all, Julian was leaning toward trusting these two people as well.
According to Willa, stalling the treatment by one day would add more risk. The earlier the treatment came, the higher the probability of recovery would be.
Julian considered it for a moment and then called up Willa right away.
“Ms. Doyle.” Julian spoke courteously.
Willa stood in front of the window and cracked a deep smile. “Mr. Shaw, is the result of the verification out? Have you decided to trust me?”
“I’m sorry. I wasn’t doubting you previously, Ms. Doyle. However, this matter is related to Susie’s survival. I have no choice but to be a little cautious,” said Julian apologetically.
“It’s fine. You’re only human.” Willa toyed with a lock of her hair gracefully. “Since you trust me now, when are you planning to begin treatment, Mr. Shaw? My personal recommendation is that we begin immediately.”
Serenity raised an eyebrow. Her exquisite face cracked into a brilliant smile. “Parents can never dissuade their children. Anyhow, I’m not afraid of him. I’ll just cry, argue, and threaten my way out of this.”
“Heh!” Susan could not help bursting into laughter.
“Alright.” Serenity stuck out her tongue. “Frankly, it is mainly because our old mother couldn’t bear to watch anymore so she took action and gave dad a good scolding. In the end, dad could only acknowledge his defeat.”
“Mom is the only person capable of handling dad’s bad temper in this world,” said Susan while laughing.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Anna and I can’t wait to move out of the house, but not a single thing about our marriages can be settled at any rate. Mom and dad are constantly showing off in front of us how sweet they are to each other at home. I’m a single woman and I’m getting tired of watching them,” said Serenity in despair.
George Wright and Luna Harris had not experienced any marital problems at all. The longer they were with each other, the better their relationship became. In the past, George had upheld his status as a marshall, yet during the past few years, he had kept becoming more and more open-minded and carefree. The most direct result of this was that... he and Luna had begun to spend time with each other all day long openly.
The extent of their love was simply inconsiderate.
“They’re showing off their love? Aunty Serenity, why are you jealous of their love? What a pity,” Chesney Shaw said with a sympathetic expression.
Serenity pinched her cheek, looking amused. Even though the little girl had not managed to understand the key point, she felt that she was a rather successful aunt to Chessie. At the very least, Chessie felt sorry for her.
Serenity was laughing when she saw Chesney look at Susan anxiously. “Mommy, mommy, grandpa and grandma are really pitiful because Aunty Serenity is jealous of them. How about we send them some love?”
“Chesney!” Serenity went berserk at once. She then picked up Chessie. “You’d rather pity grandpa and grandma than me. I… I’m sad. I’m in so much pain that I’m about to cry.”
