Chapter 457 Realistic
“Really?”
Samuel was skeptical.
Emrys nodded and said, “You’ve misunderstood. It’s actually similar to being in an operating room. When the head surgeon is performing surgery, they usually chat and joke around with their assistant to lighten the tense atmosphere.”
That was mostly what happened in the operating room. While they were tending to a patient’s infected incision, they would simultaneously discuss what to eat after the surgery.
It was simply to lighten the mood.
The patient might feel uncomfortable, thinking that the head surgeon was being disrespectful. The audacity of the surgeon to engage in casual conversation during the operation was seen as a lack of seriousness.
In reality, it was when the operating room fell silent, with only the sound of surgical instruments being passed around, that one should feel the most tense.
Samuel let out a sigh and said, “I actually thought it was true. What a pity!”
Emrys was Athos‘ disciple and also his life savior. Samuel was very eager to make this marriage happen.
Not entirely satisfied, he asked, “May I ask, Mr. Lund, is there a
girl that you like?”
He believed that jokes could be taken seriously too.
As long as the man was unmarried and the woman was unwed, anything was possible.
That was why he posed this question.
When he asked this question, Blanche also lifted her gaze, looking at Emrys, not knowing whether it was out of curiosity or something else.
Emrys gave a bitter smile. “There is.”
And there are many of them, at least seven…
“I see.”
Once again, Samuel heaved a deep sigh.
When Blanche heard this answer, she couldn’t quite pinpoint why, but she felt a strange unease, an indescribable sensation in her heart.
She hadn’t known Emrys for very long. She had thought he was utterly shameless and a complete rogue. She believed that there was no way she could ever fall for someone like him.
Yet, at that moment, she felt a wave of jealousy surging within her.
Even she herself couldn’t explain it clearly.

Emrys, however, didn’t overthink it. He turned around to fetch a pen and paper and wrote a prescription for Samuel. It consisted of medicinal herbs that were crucial in eliminating the residual poison in his body.
Blanche was preparing to share the news of her grandfather’s recovery with her father and others, but Samuel stopped her, saying, “Let’s not tell them just yet.”
“Why?”
Blanche looked at Samuel in confusion.
Recovering from illness was a good thing. She didn’t understand why her grandfather wouldn’t let her share the news.
There was a flicker in Samuel’s eyes as he said, “If they are only relying on me for hope, the Langford family can’t go far.”
Blanche became increasingly confused. “What do you mean, Grandpa?”
Samuel shook his head, remaining silent.
