Chapter 440
“This is my home. You really made yourself at home, huh?” Jenna complained, but Joseph ignored her.
The next day, Jenna noticed that Joseph hadn’t changed clothes and didn’t look like he was going anywhere, so she asked, “Aren’t you going to your clinic or office today? You should go home and wait until I contact you.”
“No need. This is the only thing I need to do now! Once I’m done, I’ll leave Jenton,” Joseph replied.
His company was just a place for him to establish himself, and the clinic was a bargaining chip for him to work with outsiders. To him, these things were merely material possessions and were of no use to him.
“Where will you go after you leave Jenton?”
“I’ll live out my days at the monastery.”
“You… You really are something!” Jenna was speechless.
If Joseph decided to hide away and live out his days at the monastery, no one would be able to find him. Someone like him was prone to go down an extreme path.
Jenna asked Joseph to come to the hospital to help her, but he turned her down. Just like that, he stayed at her house for three days.
Jenna could no longer stay idle. When an opportunity presented itself, she took Joseph to Emerald Mountain.
On the way there, she had him memorize the details of his new identity. His new name was Henry Jebb. Since they would have to pass through security checks to enter the mountain, his identity documents would be inspected.
This time, Jenna brought Joseph in to examine an elder of the Zahn family, who had been feeling dizzy and sensed that something was off.
But the elder wasn’t Owen. He was another 90-year-old man. In fact, there were five others like him on the mountain.
It was practically a village where people lived exceptionally long lives, with 120-year-old Owen and several others in their 70s and 80s.
Jenna didn’t bother introducing Joseph to the others. After all, he was supposed to be her assistant. But after examining the elder, she let Joseph take his pulse too.
Joseph examined the old man’s condition and realized he was still extremely vigorous. The old man could probably live for many more years and maybe even make it to 100 years old.
