Reborn to Revenge novel Chapter 43

Arthur ate dinner downstairs alone.

Then Selena went downstairs. She had always been very concerned about her eldest son, but Arthur had always been lukewarm to her. And today was no exception. She went back to her own room after being ignored by Arthur.

“Young master, would you like another bowl of wonton?”

“No.”

Arthur put down the spoon, wiped his mouth slowly and raised his head slowly to look coolly toward the second-floor bedroom.

Jocelyn got nervous. She pulled her neck back and hid herself behind the doorframe.jerking back his neck and hiding behind the doorframe.

She always felt that Arthur seemed to know everything. No matter what happened, he was always calm, as if he had a god's eye, and it was just a show for him, he was always watching them as an outsider.

“I heard that grandfather suddenly fainted today, and mother found Doctor Warren here. Doctor Warren said it was grandfather’s old malady. Don’t you think grandfather needs to go to the hospital for good treatment?”

At night, Jocelyn and Arthur lay side by side on the bed. There was still an appropriate distance between them. Jocelyn thought that Arthur might see she was talking to Antony. So, she didn’t know what she should talk to him.

Arthur still held his military books. He never raised his head when he heard these words. What she said even did not distract himself. He said softly.

“Grandpa has his own ideas.”

After speaking, he turned his book to a new page. He was very concentrated, as if he did not hear the word 'Doctor Warren'.

Jocelyn flipped through a fashion magazine, but she was actually looking at Arthur's expression from the corner of her eyes.

“Is Doctor Warren always our family doctor? I think Doctor Warren is too young. Will it be better if we find an older doctor?”

“Age has nothing to do with medical skill. The Warrens have been army doctors for three generations and also been friends with our family.”

Although grandpa had retired, he was still prestige in the army. many of his soldiers were in the political positions. And so many people wanted to shake his position. So it should be careful to find a doctor for grandpa.

Grandpa had been always believed in the Warrens. Antony’s father used to be his doctor. After Antony’s father changed his job in the army, Antony went to be his doctor. And it had been some years.

“Oh, just forget it.”

Jocelyn nodded thoughtfully. She was not really intent to replace Antony, but used the opportunity to imply that she had nothing to do with Antony.

Look, I’m suggesting to replace him. What do I have to do with him?

Then the sound of closing the book came from her side.

“Are you going to sleep?” Jocelyn responded quickly and asked casually. Then she dropped the magazine on the edge of her pillow and bent to turn off the reading lamp beside the bed.

After she turned off the lights, the room fell into darkness and almost silent.

Jocelyn moved quick, she had been in the quilt and closed her eyes. But she didn’t notice that Arthur was not going to lay down, but looked down at her. The coldness in his eyes was replaced by the determination of digging things out.

“Why do not you sleep?” Perhaps she felt being watched by someone. Jocelyn suddenly opened her eyes and just saw Arthur still sitting there.

In the dark, Arthur’s voice came from above.

“Julia likes Antony. Our two families are always in a good relationship. If Antony agrees, this marriage will be a sure thing.”

“Why are you telling me this all of a sudden?”
