“People with a different last name don’t know about him.” The old lady replied, “These things have always only been passed on to the Jenson family’s direct lineage.”
Charlie nodded faintly and asked her, “The Jenson family’s direct lineage is hoping to wait until Master Marcius appears?”
The old lady sighed and said indifferently, “In the past, my grandfather and father were still looking forward to Master Marcius’s appearance to start a new life since he promised to give my ancestor a chance at longevity...”
Having said that, the old lady then sighed dejectedly as she said, “But I lost three sons in a row, and I only had Jeremy when I was forty-five years old. After finally raising him up to adulthood, I didn’t care about anything else except for him.”
Charlie said, “If Master Marcius is still alive and willing to fulfill his promise, you can also leave this chance of longevity to your son, then.”
The old lady smiled wryly, pointed to her temple, and said with distress, “My son was born with some dystocia, which caused him to have some problems in his brain after he was born. Although he might look like a normal person on the surface, he is actually much slower, simpler, and much less thoughtful compared to an ordinary person...”
After saying that, the old lady paused slightly and added, “I still dare not let him know these things because I’m afraid that he will not be able to keep this secret...”
“To put it bluntly, the Jenson family members have been waiting for so many years just for a chance to live forever. Even though it is just a slim chance, they were still unwilling to give up.”
Charlie nodded. “He was already dying at the time, and it was impossible to save him using ordinary means, so I gave him a Healing Pill. This pill is very magical but still cannot be compared to the Rejuvenating Pill.”
The old lady was surprised and said gratefully, “I’ll definitely remember your kindness for the rest of my life since you used such a valuable pill to save Jeremy’s life. I really do not have any abilities, so I do not know how to repay your kindness and life-saving grace...”
Charlie looked at the Phoenixica bracelet in his hand and said indifferently, “Lady Jenson, although I saved you and your son, this bracelet of yours is extremely precious and has done me a great favor. I still feel indebted to you...”
The old lady said with some trepidation, “Benefactor, you must never think that... No matter how precious an item is, it is still an item, and it can never be more important than life...”
