His Way Back to Supremacy novel Chapter 7

"Uh…"

Perseus was perplexed as he watched the front door being slammed in his face.

"Remember to come home tonight, Uncle Perseus!"

"Hush, child. It's fine if you don't come back tonight, Perseus."

Perseus was even more confused when he heard Lindsay and Vincent's conversation. But there was warmth flooding into his heart.

"Ahem! I'm so sorry about that. They don't know—"

"You don't have to explain anything to me, Mr. Caitford. Please get into the car."

Nancy invited Perseus into the luxurious Maybach graciously. It was a dual-toned vehicle that added a youthful streak to its classical mature charm.

"Mr. Caitford, we still have some time before dinner. Why don't we hang out at a café?"

"No problem."

Perseus nodded slightly. He sank back into his thoughts while looking out the window.

Once they reached the café, Nancy got them a secluded table.

"Mr. Caitford, you and I are both straightforward people, so I'm going to cut to the chase."

Before the coffee was served, Nancy handed a folder to Perseus. "Thank you for saving my grandpa's life. This is our token of appreciation."

Perseus accepted the folder and glanced at it. Then, he eyed Nancy up and down.

"Quantum Innovations? Are you giving me a company?"

Quantum Innovations' net worth was 200 million dollars. How could Nancy possibly give that company to him? Who on earth was this woman?

"There's a bank card included in the folder. There isn't much money in the account. You can just think of it as our way of thanking you. Please accept the gifts, or else I won't be able to explain myself to my grandfather. He'll definitely reprimand me for not doing my job."

Nancy quickly came up with that sob story before Perseus could turn the gifts down.

"Fine. I'll accept the company, but I don't want the money." Perseus passed the card back to Nancy as he spoke.

"Mr. Caitford, do you want me to get scolded by my grandpa again? He's already scolded me for looking down on you and doubting your skills."

Nancy slapped on a pitiful expression at that moment.

"No. It's just that I don't accept money whenever I heal people."

Perseus shook his head firmly. "This is a rule I've come up with for myself. I mustn't break this rule no matter what."

"So you don't charge your patients after healing them?"

"Nope."

"Ah, I see."

Since Perseus looked very serious, Nancy decided to not push it. They chatted for a while before Nancy had to take a phone call. Unfortunately, she had to cut their meeting short and put their dinner plan on a raincheck.

Perseus didn't care much about the dinner invitation. Truth be told, he really wanted to look for Rochelle and demand answers from her.

However, the sky had already darkened by the time Perseus left the café. He had already promised Egbert that he'd visit Randolph tonight, so he gave up on his plans.

"Why are you back? Where's the young lady?"

Lindsay looked disappointed when she saw Perseus entering the house. She looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of Nancy.

"Uncle Perseus, did you lose your girlfriend?" Vincent joined the conversation as well.

"Don't overthink it, Mom. I just got acquainted with her. We aren't dating. I helped her out some time ago, so she came here to thank me."

Perseus shook his head, clearly amused by his mother's imagination.

"It's fine if she's not your girlfriend. On the contrary, I think Camilla, the one who works at the hospital, is a better choice for you. She's beautiful and kind-hearted, not to mention she speaks in a soft tone. If it weren't for her help, Vincent might have…"

Lindsay's eyes reddened at the memory of Vincent's illness.

"That's enough. Why are you bringing that up in front of Vincent?"

At that moment, Egbert walked out of his room with a bag of fruits in one hand and his walking stick in the other.

"Perseus, we can leave once you put down your things. Randolph should've gotten off work at this hour."

"Okay."
